I LOVE this facial cleanser! Even though it has clay, it doesn’t feel abrasive or make my face feel very dry after using it. It’s a great foundation to the start of my skincare routine as it really clears up my pores. You don’t need a whole lot, a li...

I’m sure y’all have heard about Kojic Acid, but if you haven’t, prepare to be blown! Kojic acid is such a powerful ingredient for hyperpigmentation! I don’t use this soap on my entire face, as I save that for my cleansers. However, I get a little lat...

Another tiktok find! This also lives up to the hype. I don’t have any constructive criticism for this one, it’s so moisturizing that sometimes I even wonder if I need to follow up with my actual moisturizers. I have definitely noticed significant imp...

Another product from the Gleamin package! It’s the vitamin C for me! I’d say after using this for about 2 months that’s when I really started to notice the dark spots on my cheeks fading. It’s a small bottle but you really only need about 2 pumps for...

I added the full Gleamin bundle here in case anyone is interested! Personally, as someone with combination skin, I didn’t find the oil to be too beneficial, however I imagine it’s great for dry skin! The mask is also great (I love that it comes with ...
