Toners
Silky texture on application. Lightweight but hydrating enough to wear on its own on days when my skin isn’t too dry. Layers well under thicker/heavier creams and moisturizers.
Prequel Half & Half Peptides + Ceramides Fluid Moisturizer
I’ve purchased so many bottles and refill pouches over the years. My ol’ reliable basic hyaluronic acid toner.
Hada Labo Gokujyun Premium Hyaluronic Toner 170ml
Similar to prequel. Formula is a little less thick but still hydrating enough on its own for good skin days when I’m not too dry. Also layers nicely under my other creams.
rhode Glazing Milk Hydrating Ceramide Facial Essence
Very nice mist spray. I’ve repurposed the bottle to hold other lightweight toners because I like it so much. Good complement to wear underneath thicker milky toners. Gives skin a nice hydrated looking glow. Easy way to refresh the skin mid day as wel...
rhode Glazing Mist Hydrating Face Spray
So hydrating for what essentially feels like water on your skin. Really great base toner when you need to layer products on as well as for really hot/humid days when you need hydration but don’t want anything that feels heavy.
ROUND LAB 1025 Dokdo Toner 16.91 Fl Oz
Scented but I like the smell and the mist is also nice. I also tend to reuse the bottle because of the mister. Good for that glowy finish.
Luminous Dewy Skin Mist - Tatcha
Moisturizers
My favorite thick cream when I need something emollient and occlusive to wear at night. Use on face and body.
La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+MAX Triple Repair ...
A lighter weight version of my favorite Lipikar Moisturizing Cream. Good for face and body. I switch to this during warmer months but still want something that’s emollient and mildly occlusive.
La Roche Posay Lipikar Daily Repair Moisturizing Body ...
Recommended to me by a dermatologist when I went to Korea. I use this on its own over eczema patches or areas of skin in need of intense barrier repair. Most days I mix this with illiyoon ato cream or aestura cream to make those thicker and more occl...
Bepanthen Nappy Rash Ointment
Another great barrier cream. Pricey so I save it for my worst dry or eczema patches. Also works great to pretreat and hydrate dry patches before makeup. Helps everything go on a little more smooth.
Avène Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream
Lightweight gel cream formula. Unscented. Good for daytime wear. Ok for night time if my skin isn’t too dry.
S.NATURE Aqua Squalane Moisturizing Cream 2.02 fl. oz. ...
A cult beauty classic. Have been using for over a decade now. There is a scent but I don’t mind. Layers so beautifully under makeup. Lightweight enough to wear on warmer days but I’ll usually opt for a gel cream when it’s really really hot or humid.
Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentre
Cleansers
Very gentle and face never feels dry or stripped of oils. Foams and cleanses well!
Sensibio Foaming Gel Face Cleanser for Sensitive Skin
I love the fine mist spray on this. I buy for the bottle and refill with briotech when I run out.
Prequel Universal Skin Facial Solution Hypochlorous Acid ...
Comes in spray bottles and a bunch of different sizes for refills. I buy the big refill bottles and just refill my spray bottles from prequel and tower28.
BRIOTECH Topical Skin Spray, Face & Body HOCl ...
Oils
I mix this in my creams or apply over hydrating toners or moisturizers to help seal things in and give my skin an extra glow.
Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil
Dupe for plain biossance squalane. So cheap in comparison! Mix it in my moisturizers or apply directly to face.
Neossance Squalane | Plant-Based Emollient for Skin Care
I think this has a bit of an oily finish so that’s why it’s in the oil section for me. I’ve noticed a slight improvement in some fresh acne scars/hyperpigmentation so will be repurchasing and continuing to use especially since it’s pretty cheap.
Trader Joe's Vitamin C Serum
Sunscreen
So emollient and hydrating and spreads so easily over my skin.
ROUND LAB Birch Juice Moisturizing UV LOCK SPF 45
Sheet Masks
Skin feels so hydrated and plump after this. One of my favorite sheet masks.
Torriden DIVE IN Hyaluronic Acid Mask 10s
Lips
Thick hydrating and occlusive without feeling sticky or heavy. My #1 lip balm/gloss at the moment.
BRING GREEN Bamboo Hyalu Lip Essence 0.76 oz.(11g) ...
