Want a product that melts your makeup easily?
This is my go-to cleansing balm because it melts makeup down really easily without making my skin feel stripped afterward. The texture feels soft and smooth on the skin, and it emulsifies nicely once water is added, so it rinses off clean without lea...
Heimish - All Clean Balm 120ml
Such a simple but solid cleanser. It foams up really nicely, cleans my skin well without making it feel super stripped, and leaves my face feeling fresh and soft. I also love how affordable and long-lasting it is.
KUMANO COSME - Reihaku Hatomugi The Facial Foam
I finished this Cleanser and I’m really glad it worked well with my skin. I didn’t experience any bad reactions, which made me even happier about it. A little goes a long way, and it does its job really well.
It foams up nicely, and you really don’t need much product each time. I also love the simple, pretty packaging—it fits the green tea/matcha theme so well. As someone who loves matcha and green tea products, this definitely didn’t disappoint. I’m genu...

Toners
Hydrating toners my dry skin genuinely appreciates.
I love this toner! It feels lightweight but still really hydrating on the skin. It absorbs nicely without leaving any sticky layer behind, and my skin always feels softer and calmer after using it. The fragrance-free formula is also a big plus for my...
Anua - Rice 70 Glow Milky Toner
This is my #1 toner pad!
I need this especially when my skin gets very dry from eczema and even stings when I apply other skincare products. The convenience of these calming pads is unmatched!
I usually just place them on the affected areas and leave them on for about 15 minutes or more. After using them, my dry, irritated skin feels noticeably calmer and more comfortable by the next day. AMAZING.
I don’t use this as often as my Anua milky toner since that’s my daily go-to, but I always reach for this when my skin really needs extra care and relief. It’s definitely worth buying, especially for sensitive or reactive skin moments.

SKIN1004 - Madagascar Centella Quick Calming Pad

Face Serums
Serums I reach for when my skin needs extra hydration or care.
I’ve tried other SKIN1004 serums before, but this one stands out to me. It has a thicker, more creamy consistency instead of a watery texture. It feels deeply hydrating on my dry, sensitive skin and leaves no sticky residue!
It’s described as a “nourishing ampoule containing a high concentration of fermented cica extract to deliver intense moisture and strengthen the skin barrier. Panthenol, betaine, and allantoin help provide a plumping effect for smooth, hydrated skin....

Multi Balm
K-dramas got me hooked on multi balms, so I started exploring different ones.
I first saw the KAHI balm everywhere in K-dramas and wanted to try it, but it was a bit out of my budget. Then I found the this multi balm on YesStyle at a more affordable price, so I decided to try it—and I’m glad I did. It gives a nice boost of moi...
