I don't cleanse my face in the morning! I don't use every product every day but I use something from each category depending on my skin needs.

Topicals/Antioxidants/Brighteners
I use all of these on rotation. Trying to address sun damage, pigmentation and texture.
IMO the only vitamin c product that actually makes a consistent, noticeable difference. I use a glycerine or hyaluronic acid serum as a mixing medium. Apply directly onto skin as first product.
Pure Vitamin C Powder Cream 5x 1.95G
Use it on really targeted areas to fade dark spots. Some people find it very strong so build up gradually. I don't have any issues with it.
Topicals Faded Brightening & Clearing Serum 30ml
This product is amazing. I'm on my 4th bottle. Really effective at brightening the skin and minimizing pores. Dramatic difference in pigmentation on cheeks.
Anua Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Serum 30ml
Scrubs
Two or three times a month, maximum.
The GOAT. Wouldn't even consider buying anything else. Use two or three times a month, maximum.
Alpha-H Micro Super Scrub 100ml
Hydrating essence/toners/mists
10 mins after using actives.
My holy grail moisturising mist. Much cheaper than similar brands. Fine mister. Very hydrating.
HOLIKA HOLIKA Good Cera Super Ceramide Mist 120ml
My favourite milky toner. I find it more hydrating than many others and it doesn't pill!
Thank You Farmer Rice Pure Milky Hydrating Essential Toner 200ml
I know it is ridiculously expensive but quite frankly, there is nothing else anywhere near as good.
AQUFONS Hydrating Lotion Enriched 200ml
Super dewy affordable and great for sensitive skins.
The INKEY List Hydro-Surge Dewy Face Mist 75ml
Moisturisers
If I'm not leaving the house.
I know this is a night cream but it is my go to morning moisturiser. As I use a lot of actives I need something rich and this does the best job at this price point.
Cetaphil Rich Night Cream 50g
I loooooove this cream so much. Lightweight but very hydrating. Better than the Dr Jart IMO.
HOLIKA HOLIKA Good Cera Super Ceramide Cream 60ml
SPF
If I'm leaving the house.
Anyone who knows me in real life or who watches my tiktok will need no further information. This SPF is perfection and the company supports a very good cause to boot.
Altruist Dermatologist Sunscreen SPF50 100ml
If I'm feeling bougie, this is the only other SPF I will buy. Has quite a heavy fragrance though, so avoid if you don't like that in your skincare.
