1.0 oz Mineral 89 Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum for Stronger Skin - Vichy | Ulta Beauty
I’ve been using this for a while because I wanted something to help even out my skin tone, I’ve noticed over a few weeks that some of my darker spots are a little more faded and my skin just looks more even. The texture is kind of milky and absorbs q...
Vinoperfect Radiance Dark Spot Serum - Caudalie | Sephora

This Laneige cream is one of my favorite moisturizers to use before I apply makeup. It’s lightweight but still gives my skin that juicy plump feeling! If you want a moisturizer that feels fresh, dewy, and actually keeps your skin calm and hydrated al...
