Moisturizers
lightweight, non-greasy!
SOOO light-weight, feels very water-based, literally NEVER clogs my pores. PERFECTION in a bottle.
PURITO Oat-in Calming Gel Cream 100 ml
Any moisturizer that is gel-like is AMAZING for my sensitive skin, and I use this one every single night as the last step of my skincare routine!
Natural Moisturizing Factors + Beta Glucan - The Ordinary
Must-have serums
These have completely altered my skin for the better!
Like giving your skin a big drink of water every night. This is the first serum I apply after cleanser and toner! OBSESSED.
Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (with Ceramides) | The Ordinary
I tend to use this one every morning AND night. It is really gentle on my face and helps with clearing pores up for smooth, hydrated skin!
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% | The Ordinary
My favorite retinol product! Definitely use sparingly until you figure out what your skin can handle, but I am now able to use it almost every single night. LOVE it
Retinol 1% in Squalane - The Ordinary
Recently added this to my collection and I loveee how it makes my skin feel (and glow)! Seems to help repair the skin barrier really well!
Soothing & Barrier Support Serum | The Ordinary
I use this every morning! Vitamin C is so good for your skin, especially in Winter months, and this one actually feels really gentle. I pair it with Niacinamide and a moisturizer, and that combo tends to work well for my skin type!
20% Vitamin C + E Ferulic Acid Serum - Timeless Skin Care
SPF
Protect that skin please!!
One of my favorite SPF's EVER. SO lightweight--it absorbs beautifully and actually feels like it is improving your skin texture rather than making it all oily. 11/10!
RESIST Youth-Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid SPF 50 - Paula's …
An amazing SPF that DOUBLES as the perfect makeup base, since it's tinted! I literally use this every single day and it has never broken me out. Also adds a subtle shine to your face which I LOVE.
Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face …
A classic, reliable sunscreen choice! I prefer to use this SPF for my entire body, and then use a more face-specific SPF for my face due to my sensitive skin. But I have heard that Super Goop's face sunscreen is a good choice!
Supergoop! The Best Skincare with SPF and Sunscreen
Toners
For that extra skincare boost.
An extra hydration boost before you actually moisturize! This is a veryyyyy gentle toner and I would absolutely recommend if glass skin is your goal!
Milk Skin Toner – TIRTIR Official
So gentle yet SO effective for clearing out your pores. Definitely wouldn't use this every single night (not good to exfoliate your skin every day), but it's great to use around 3 times per week! I love how gentle it is despite being an exfoliant.
BHA 2% Gentle Exfoliating Toner with Salicylic Acid | Anua
Breakout essentials
Hormonal acne life-savers
Quick spritz of this clears the acne-causing bacteria off your face and feels SO refreshing! Definitely helps prevent and treat sudden breakouts
SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray with Hypochlorous Acid - Tower 28 …
This + their niacinamide serum tends to help me a lot with breakouts!
Salicylic Acid 2% Solution | The Ordinary
This toner is my faveee when I notice any zits popping up on my face. It gently exfoliates your skin and I always love the way my skin looks the morning after using it! Second step of skincare routine, AFTER cleansing.
BHA 2% Gentle Exfoliating Toner with Salicylic Acid | Anua
Cleansers
I only cleanse at night, but I ALWAYS rinse my face with cold water every single morning.
SENSITIVE SKIN MUST-HAVE. Really simple ingredients, no skincare red-flags in this one. The simpler, the better.
Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser with Pump
Another great sensitive skin cleanser. I got this as part of the ordinary acne-fighting set, but I have been using it every single night and it seems really effective and gentle.
Glucoside Foaming Cleanser - The Ordinary
