These are all of the skin care products I love and most likely have a subscription for so I never run out. And now a story about why I have multiple snail mucin products on this list. Once upon a time I worked for a cosmeceutical company (these are the types products usually sold at a med spa or dermatologist office) as a marketing assistant. While I only worked there a short time, I got to learn a lot about snail mucin which was the active ingredient on their crown jewel product. This product worked so well and had great clinical trial result. Years later when I started seeing K beauty brands popping up and they they had snail mucin product I knew I had to try them. Guess what, they are just as good, if not better, than the one that company sold for over $100. Granted, I was in my early 20s when I worked there and had the skin of a baby already, but still I could see a more glowing and even skin tone when I used them. The moral of the story is quality effective products don't have to cost a lot.

My skin always breakout during winter and I have used different products that didn't work until last winter when I decided to do proper research on my sensitive skin, to know what will work best on my skin. The products in this list are products i have been using both winter and summer, and my skin hasn't been same again. I now have a glass glow spotless skin looking younger and soft. This works for all skin types and perfect if you have a sensitive combination skin like mine.
