Cleansing oil. This one I use when I have heavy makeup on, not for everyday because it is stronger.
DHC - Deep Cleansing Oil

This is the cleansing oil I use on  a regular basis. The calendula helps calm my skin. I like having a cleansing oil, because I feel it works like an exfoliant as well.

I really like this cleanser for everyday. It creates a nice foam, wash away the day you had, and make you feel nice and clean. It is suitable for sensitive skins.

Exfoliate

Either you want to minimize your pores or feel like you have a smoother skin, this is a great step to add to your routine - not everyday

A great way for a quick exfoliation. No mess like most clay masks. Just a few quick rolls, wash after it is dry, and you are done!

Mild exfoliant. You can use it as a serum with a quick dub on your face, you can add it on pads and leave on your face for a few minutes as a mask, or even softly wipe your face.

Another SKIN1004 product? No way. Brightens, smooths, even slightly exfoliates your skin. I use it when I feel like my face needs a pick me up or if it has gone through a lot.

Dewy, glowy, moisturized skin. Especially for people with dry skin, looking to feel moisturized again.  If you can splurge, do it.
Torriden - DIVE-IN Low Molecule Hyaluronic Acid Serum - YesStyle

Retinoids

Let's talk about how to use them. If you are starting now and you want to be extra cautious: At night - wash face - moisturize - leave to dry - a pea size of retinol - moisturize. Once every 2 weeks. If everything goes fine, you can start once a week...

A great start to the retinoid game. Mild, can be used more often, no need to take as many precautions.

A smooth start to retinol. Mild and easy on the skin. Great choice for beginners or sensitive skin.

If you have already been using retinol and want to step up your game a bit, or have mature skin and want to start there, this is a great option. Still mild but with a higher percentage.

If you are looking for a gel cream, this is for you. I have loved this moisturizer. I generally like centella in my products, and the combination with the gel texture is like a relief for my face. Love it.
