if you use retinol, you need to wear sunscreen during the day! Sunscreen also helps fade dark spots and good for anti-aging
Great sunscreen to buy from Sephora! I know people mainly buy Supergoop there but Korean sunscreens are so much better. Korean beauty has always been ahead with skincare technology and especially with sunscreens! I love this sunscreen since it has no...
Sephora | Daily UV Defense Invisible Broad Spectrum SPF 36 Sunscreen
Innisfree is a great brand to buy from! This sunscreen is really good since it has no scent and no white cast. It's also really easy to blend too since it's a chemical sunscreen. Sunscreens are a MUST if you use retinol at night. You should also wear...
innisfree Daily UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 36
Great physical sunscreen! You do need to take more time to blend it out since physical sunscreens often have white cast unless you blend it out well. Physical sunscreens are great because you can apply it and leave the house right away. I love the br... I also like how you have more control with squeezing out the product. This is a great sunscreen to use and it doesn't smell either!

toners for extra hydration! These are great to have if you are using retinol or not since hydrating products are great for your skin!
Great toner to have because it's so hydrating and simple. You really don't need to spend a lot of money on toners! This is a great affordable option because it will last a long time. Most toners are quite small for kbeauty so this is a decent size. T...

#1 toner in Korea for a reason! This a light hydrating toner. I like how light it is because it absorbs into my skin fast. This is great to have in your routine because it's hydrating and would help your skin barrier. It is a simple toner but it does...

A MUST! You CANNOT skip retinol because it helps the dark spot corrector to work faster! I used to only use retinol or tretinoin and I would have dark spots still! When I finally used retinol and a dark spot corrector, my dark spots started to fade s...

Paula's Choice | 1% Retinol Treatment

Sephora | CLINICAL Anti-Aging 1% Retinol Treatment
Amazon link! Retinol is a must to use alongside a dark spot treatment. It makes things much faster and there’s other benefits too since it’s anti-aging. Easy to use and you do need to be patient. The results are well worth it though! I love this reti...

Retinol Fine Lines and Wrinkles Serum
Another retinol option! I wanted to include this since it says it has 0.1% retinol in it. I will say with all skincare some products don't work out. I have heard good things about this but my friend said this ruined her skin to this day. Every experi...

Moisturizer
moisturizers I have tried or went viral! These are great for at the end of your routine because retinol does make your skin feel a bit dry!
My go to moisturizer! I love how you get a really big amount for the the price. Usually face moisturizes are expensive and they don't give a lot. People do say this is kind of a dupe for the Aestura cream! It isn't an exact dupe since it feels a litt...
