the best hydrating cleanser that doesn’t leave your skin feeling tight and dry afterwards

the most refreshing cleanser on my shelf! Leaves my skin hydrated and plump, while not stripping my natural oils. I use this cleanser whenever I’m looking for a bit more brightening effects- usually after a night of actives
2.0 oz Niacinamide Cleansing Gelee 3% - Naturium

Milky-Soft Face and Body Wash - cocokind | Ulta Beauty
mist/toner
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...
Calming Magnesium Mist | Calm Stressed Skin
this toner completely changed my mind on needing this step in my routine. This toner has left my skin so hydrated while also targeting tone and texture without causing my sensitive skin to flare up. RUN to get this
Multi-Bright Milky Toner

I didn’t believe the hype of vitamin c being my brightening go to BUT this?! This vitamin C has my skin improving in just 5 days (last slide). A must for dark spots and brightening.

affordable and beginner friendly vitamin c! I grabbed the trial size to start and can’t say enough about how lightweight and effective this formula is. If you’re wanting to start adding brightening products to your routine this is a great one to star...
0.5 oz Vitamin C Complex Serum - Naturium
serum
not an everyday must- this serum helps calm irritated skin (think an alternative to the viral magnesium spray). I like to use this if my skin is feeling a little spicy or slightly drier.
Madagascar Centella Ampoule
glass skin in a bottle! So hydrating and very lightweight. My go to when my skin is needing extra love and hydration without feeling weighed down
Phyto Mucin Glow Serum - BYOMA
this has been a new favorite. A super hydrating lightweight serum that I’ve been using in both my am and pm routines lately. It is so deeply hydrating and leaves my barrier happy
Bubble Water Slide Hydration Boosting Serum Hyaluronic Acid + Peptides
a new hydrating serum added to the line up! This one was snagged at Ulta for 50% off (when you see it on sale GRAB IT) the texture is so watery and light, and leaves your skin looking like glass in the mornings without feeling weighed down like many ...
B-Hydra™ Intensive Hydration Serum with Hyaluronic Acid
packed with ceramides, lipids (help support skins natural moisture). Its a thicker serum (unlike the mucins) but does not feel heavy. I am currently on my second bottle and dont see this leaving my shelf any time soon
cocokind Ceramide Barrier Nourishing Daily Serum
moisturizer
my dupe for drunk elephants protini polypeptide cream. Leaves my skin plump and has reduced the fine lines in my forehead and eye area. Have bought multiple bottles of this and won’t stop!
The INKEY List USA Peptide Moisturiser 50ml
If I could only pick one moisturizer for my morning for the rest of time this would be it. It dries SO nicely for a makeup base. Does not pill under SPF. It is SO hydrating without making you feel heavy. This is under $10 and a dupe for the tatcha- I...
Vitamasques Hyaluronic Hydrate Water Cream
spf
don’t forget your SPF! I love supergoop for its lightweight formula and how well it wears under makeup! I do find less is more with the unseen if you find it makes you greasy
Unseen Sunscreen SPF 50
spf is a non negotiable but this is one a grab on days when I’m actually doing makeup! This acts as a beautiful glow layer under foundation - or like me, simple days by adding concealer and blush/bronzer.
Sunrise Mini Glowscreen SPF 40 Sunscreen with Hyaluronic Acid + Niacinamide - Supergoop! | Ulta Beauty
so I thought I loved some of my other recs… I will repurchase this in the jumbo on the Sephora sale every time. I love this SPF. It’s affordable, no white cast, DOES NOT STING MY EYES, does not pill (unlike a lot of the others I’ve tried). This spf i...
Daily UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 50+
Eye patches
first eye cream to make me fall in love! The roller ball is so dreamy - especially when you leave it in the fridge overnight. This has helped brighten my under eyes and bring some life back.
Green Tea Caffeine Bright-Eye Serum
a newbie in the lineup and I’ve been loving the results for the price. Great budget Friday eye cream that really delivers
Caffeine Eye Cream for Under Eye Bags & Dark Circles
similar to the yellow- these are a bit more firming instead of brightening focused so these are great if you’re wanting that Botox like feel! I love that these dry clear. They are so hydrating and 60 patches lasts so long!!
Eye Patches
no joke these changed my mind on what eye patches can do. My dark circles are dang near gone. The sunken areas are more plump. The gel is thin but durable and really are soaked in serum!! I love how much this formula delivers for the price point. Gra...
