Black Owned Skincare
Some Black Owned Brands I run to
This sunscreen is made perfect for melanated skin! A definite go to of mine!
Black Girl Sunscreen Make it Hybrid with Zinc and Lavender Sunscreen - SPF 50 - 3 fl oz
This is my absolute go to for skincare and I’m always getting compliments on my skin. It is formulated especially for melanated skin!
You can even create your own bundles!
3-Pc. Skin-Transforming Set with Oil-free Hyaluronic Gel Cream
Toner
My automatic go-to for facial toner; this is my favorite brand, and the rosewater gives it a lovely floral fragrance while you’re treating your skin to a home spa experience!!
AHA/BHA Rosewater Toner - Buttah Skin | Ulta Beauty
This toner offers a great “bang for your buck”! I love the price point and how long it lasts!
Rose Petal Alcohol-Free Witch Hazel Facial Toner - Thayers | Ulta Beauty
This toner gives a very refreshing feel and is good in a pinch if I can’t find any of my go-tos
Biore Witch Hazel Pore Clarifying Toner Salicylic Acid Controls Oil 8 fl oz
Some Favorite Face serums & creams
These are some of my favorite brands when I’m on a tight budget but don’t want my skin to suffer!
Good molecules is a good, no nonsense brand that I use in a pinch! It’s the perfect price point for a good penny saver
6.7 oz Hydrating Facial Cleansing Gel - Good Molecules | Ulta Beauty
I start my day with a niacinamide & Daily brightening serum— this particular one is available in 2 sizes for your daily/nightly needs and pocketbook!!
2.5 oz Niacinamide Serum - Good Molecules | Ulta Beauty
This is step two in my daily skin routine— I like to stick to the same brands but if one doesn’t offer a serum I want, I have no problem mixing it up!
Daily Brightening Serum - Good Molecules | Ulta Beauty
This daily moisturizer offers a very lightweight feel on your skin and is available in two different sizes!! I always get the larger size!
3.3 oz Lightweight Daily Moisturizer - Good Molecules | Ulta Beauty
Sometimes I replace good molecules with the ordinary brand niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and retinol serums!
1.0 oz Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum for Oily Skin - The Ordinary | Ulta Beauty
This one I use once or twice a week. The exfoliation may have a rough feel on your skin. I use this right after I use my niacinamide at the start of my evening routine!
Overnight Exfoliating Treatment - Good Molecules | Ulta Beauty
Gotta love a good hyaluronic acid serum! Especially when it’s available it two sizes!! Control how much you want to sped and your skin’s age at the same time!
2.5 oz Hyaluronic Acid Serum - Good Molecules | Ulta Beauty
Sometimes I will sub out my good molecules for the ordinary brand hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and retinol serums. I love the feel on my skin, and the dollar point in my pocket!!
Hydrating Serum 1.0 oz Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Hydrating Serum with Ceramides - The Ordinary | Ulta Beauty
Love this retinol oil! I have sensitive skin so I can’t use this one every night, but I love the feel and fragrance! Tell me if you get an almond scent too, or if that’s just me!
1% Retinol Night Oil - Good Molecules | Ulta Beauty
Sometimes I supplement my retinol oil schedule with a serum. It gives my skin time to absorb the oil without breaking out.
I’ll alternate every other night between a good serum and the oil!
Retinol 0.5% in Squalane, Intermediate Retinol Serum - The Ordinary | Ulta Beauty
This is my normal night cream, but good molecules won out when it came to price. Still, I always feel comfortable back here with my triple power revitalift!
Revitalift Triple Power Anti-Aging Moisturizer - Fragrance Free - L'Oréal | Ulta Beauty
This as a nightly retinol moisturizer, is why I don’t feel the need to do the retinol oil nightly. I love the lightweight feel on my skin!
Gentle Retinol Cream - Good Molecules | Ulta Beauty
I just started using this one not that long ago, but I already see and feel the difference!
3.71 oz Collagen Niacinamide Jelly Cream - medicube | Ulta Beauty
Eye care
I use this on my eyes day and night
Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel - Good Molecules | Ulta Beauty
I just started using these after seeing them in a friend of mine’s cart. And I love them. They’re cool to the touch which helps relax me and I’ve already noticed a difference!
