adapalene
1st cleanse
This is essential for your evening routine. This helps break down build up and product from the day.
I will say, this oil cleanser really cleans my pores. Other oil cleansers melt everything away easily, but this one- if you gently massage your face for 3 minutes, you will ACTUALLY feel the sebum fall out of your pores. It will feel like little piec...

Micellar Cleansing Water All-in-1 Makeup Remover
gentle cleanse
A gentle cleanse is a must on adapalene nights. Adapalene is highly reactive so keeping the rest of your routine calming and hydrating is key.
my recent OBSESSION the way I was so skeptical because it markets for both face and body but as a sensitive skin girly, my face feels soft and cleansed. My body feels like butter and actually clean. This delivers and for the price?? Will repurchase s...

Optional step - I love adding this as a hydrating base for the rest of my products. I find even my true toner sinks into my skin better.
I have been loving this mist! The hydration it provides to my skin is so refreshing from a powerful little mister. No notes truly- cocokind knocked it out of the park with this product. At first I thought this addition was simply a “romanticize my ro...

Cosmic Silk Hydrating Milky Toner - Bubble | Ulta Beauty
secret ingredient 🤫🔑✨
this mask!!!! leaves your skin so flipping hydrated - sandwich method goated status. Making sure your skin is hydrated both before and after adapalene is crutial to avoid the crusties/flakeys and irritation.
so this actually gives you glass skin in 20 minutes. My skin felt SO SOFT after this satisfying peel mask. Came off without pulling hair, left my skin plump and soft. I used this right after cleansing, before toners/serums. My skin has seen lasting r...

I was prescribed a more intense of this exact gel by dermatologist 15 years ago- since I stopped that care, I have not stopped using this product. I trust my long term good skin to this product. You need to be careful and not layer with any other har...
