Face Cleanser
I have used so many cleansing oils and I noticed that I got a deeper clean from this brand. I have a lot of sebum and most exfoliants have been pretty aggressive on my face so, using a solid cleansing oil and then following it with a cleanser that ta...
Black Rice Moisture Cleansing Oil
This is a really gentle cleanser for those looking for a good SA face wash that isn't too harsh. I'd recommend patch testing, since everyone's skin is different.
Zero Pore Capsule Cleansing Foam
Such a gentle but effective cleanser. It reduces the amount of sebum I see in my skin.
SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam Face Cleanser - 125ml: Contains Citric Acid, Centella Asiatica, Normal & Sensitive Skin
Serums
If you're allergic to dust and can't use the snail mucin, this has been my favorite alternative product to use. It kept my skin absolutely dewy and it evened out my complexion within a month of consistent use.
mixsoon Bean Essence 30ml
Deffffff feels like a million pin pricks but the results? Out of this world. Use it once a day, every THREE days (THIS IS NOT FOR DAILY USE. YOU WILL RUIN YOUR SKIN) and make it the first thing you apply to your face after washing it. It helps your s...
VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot 300 Facial Treatment - Travel Size - 1.01fl oz
A gentle, daily serum if you're concerned about correcting dark spots/hyperpigmentation.
numbuzin - No.5+ Glutathione Vitamin Concentrated Serum
I wouldn't recommend using this daily, but this is great for targeting hyperpigmentation. I would start out using this product every 2-3 days until you have a better understanding of how your skin responds to this product.
medicube - Kojic Acid Turmeric Niacinamide Serum
I prefer Azelaic Acid for correcting dark spots to a vitamin C serum as a dark skinned person. Be warned that this product has niacinamide in it when you're layering products.
medicube - Azelaic Acid Exosome Shot 7500
Toners/Toner Pads
I think it's important to remind users that there's a proper way to layer your products so you don't damage your skin barrier. I've found using these pads 3-4 times a week (I like to alternate days, I strictly use these at night) has provided me the ...
Zero Pore Pads
Makes my skin look brighter and even and feels gentle. It has a bit of a cooling effect! No stinging or burning sensation.
MEDIHEAL Madecassoside Blemish Toner Pads - 100ct: Dark Spot Reduction, Skin Tone Improvement, Soothing, Sensitive Skin
These pads are non-comedogenic and great for keeping your skin hydrated and for calming down irritated skin.
SKIN1004 - Madagascar Centella Quick Calming Pad
Moisturizer
Don't apply this like you see the influencers on tik tok do. That's too much product. Just scoop a section (like a pea sized amount, deadass) that has the little boba ball in it and mix the yellow and clear gel together on the back of your hand. A li...
Deep Vita C Capsule Cream
Love having this as my go to moisturizer for my brightening and complexion evening routine! I use this at night.
medicube PDRN Pink Collagen Capsule Cream Korean Skincare- 1.94oz: Skin Tone Improvement, Face Application, Normal/Sensitive Skin
I have HORRIBLE eczema that flares when I'm stressed. I couldn't find anything to heal this really dark and scaley patch I had on my arm until I came across this cream. In just two weeks, I noticed the skin repairing and clearing up.
haruharu wonder Black Rice 5 Ceramide Barrier Moisturizing Cream
Peels
This is great for fading really stubborn spots. When it says leave it on for 60 secongs, that is NOT a suggestion. I used this product consistently for a month, every other day. The results were immaculate.
Red Body Peeling Shot Cleanser
My favorite refining ampoule for gently lifting hardened sebum that cause breakouts and dead skin cells.
medicube - Hypochlorous Acid Peel Shot
Masks
I use this when I'm impatient with my skin care progress. You really can sleep in this.
Kojic Acid Turmeric Night Wrapping Mask - medicube | Ulta Beauty
I use this when I'm impatient with my skin care progress. You really can sleep in this.
Collagen Night Wrapping Mask - medicube | Ulta Beauty
Great mask for skin brightening and facial slimming
SUNGBOON EDITOR Retinol Boost Up Mask: Anti-Aging, Contains Collagen, Contains Hyaluronic Acid, Unscented
This keeps my skin sooooo hydrated
VT Cosmetics PDRN Hydrogel Face Mask - 1.16oz: Deep Hydration, Firming, Wrinkle Reduction, Vegan
I JUST bought this and will update but I've used products with cica before and it reduces the redness from pimples on my skin.
VT Cosmetics Cica Mask Face Cleanser - 4.05 fl oz: Sensitive, Hyaluronic Acid, Acne-Prone
