Vitamin C is the skincare world’s glow filter. It fights dullness, evens out skin tone, and makes you look more awake — but not all Vitamin C serums are created equal. Some oxidize too fast, some irritate sensitive skin, and others just… don’t do much. These 18 are the real deal — derm-approved, reviewer-loved, and results-driven. If you’re ready for that “did you just get a facial?” glow, this list is your shortcut.
Might not be a beauty influencer, but these are my tried and true favs. All of these products are pretty cost-friendly and definitely beginner-friendly!

I occasionally use other products, but these are the items that I buy regularly, and I have a backup of each item just in case I run out. FYI I am 47 year old woman with long thin hair and oily skin. Sounds hot right?? Whatever, these items keep me cute and under control :) These are my daily products, they don't cost a lot (except one), and most of them have been around forever.

I have been wearing my hair in its naturally curly state my entire life. I have 4A/4B curls with fine strands, and I have been wanting to do something different that will retain the most length. I noticed that braids and other “protective styles” put a lot of stress on my fine strands and I get a lot of breakage, even with “low tension” styles. A lot of women with my same issues have started wearing their hair blown out or straight, and retained a lot of length by doing so. So I decided to try it out myself! I have personally bought and use all of the products I listed below, and I picked things that prioritize the strength, moisture, and integrity of my hair. I hope you can find something you like on this list!
All my life, I’ve been blow drying my hair straight because I thought I just had constant, weird frizz. But recently, thanks to my daughter, I discovered that my hair actually has a natural wavy/curly pattern! She introduced me to some amazing products she uses on her own beautiful, curly hair and they’ve totally changed how I care for mine. Pro tip: Apply your products to soaking wet hair—if it’s too dry, things can get frizzy and messy fast!
I didn't get the make up gene and I'm an outdoor girlie living my life at mach 2 with my ass on fire. I am a skin care product whore but prefer a more natural aesthetic when it comes to makeup. For me, less is more and dual use is even better. These are the products I use. Some regularly and some for special occasions.
i've suffered from horomonal acne as a teen & young adult. i've tried all the hacks (lemon, toothpaste, acne pads that dried the hell outta my skin & lightened my brows) then somewhere along the way, my skin has become pretty decent (id like to give a special shout out to birth control for getting those horomones under control!) in addition, i have a relatively simple skincare routine where i prioritize moisturization & sunscreen!

I’m about to be in my 30s and my skincare, hair care and makeup journey has never been more important to me than now. With that being said, I’ve spent SO MUCH at Sephora finding out what products are truly worth the price point! Here’s part 1 of some of my Sephora favorites that I swear by 🥰
I don't know about y'all, but I have always had sensitive skin! Normal acne washes, lotions, and serums just don't do the trick. I want to go ahead and share some of my recs for those who are like me and want a skin care that harmonizes with their skin instead of causing unwanted redness and flair ups.
I travel frequently for both work and fun, usually with just a carry-on, so I’m selective about what makes the cut. These are the tried-and-true essentials I never leave home without.
If you’re trying to grow your natural nails and save some money I recommend these products!! I have always struggled with keeping my natural nails long but I wanted to stray away from acrylics!
Flare ups are no fun and it's important to put clean stuff on your skin to keep it under control. These are my most recommended items. Remember, face wash, active, then lotion. Actives 1x a day at first and then 2x if handled well. Hydration is key. Lotion when skin is wet is a good idea!
