Cruelty-Free Skincare Routine I Actually Use (Sensitive Skin Friendly)
Everything I actually use, morning and night, fully cruelty-free, no exceptions. After looking into parent companies and certifications, I swapped a few brands to keep this list 100% Leaping Bunny or verified cruelty-free. This is my real routine: cl...
My go-to cleanser for mornings and after taking off makeup. Balm-to-oil texture that melts makeup, sunscreen, and the day off your skin without stripping it. Oat extract calms, perfect for sensitive or dry skin and great for double cleansing. The Ink...
Oat Cleansing Balm - 150ml | The INKEY List
The hydration base of my entire routine. Multi-weight hyaluronic acid plumps and hydrates at every level of the skin. I apply it to damp skin morning before anything else, it pulls moisture in and makes everything I layer on top work harder. Under €1...
Clinically proven 2% Hyaluronic Acid Serum - The INKEY List
The peptide step, lightweight serum with multiple peptides that supports firmness, skin barrier strength, and helps minimize fine lines over time. Layers easily under any moisturizer without pilling. I use it at night before my moisturizer. Naturium ...
Multi-Peptide Advanced Serum - Naturium
My daytime moisturizer. Lightweight enough to wear under sunscreen and makeup, but actually hydrates, most "light" creams don't deliver. KIKO is cruelty-free (made in Italy, not sold in mainland China) and ridiculously underrated for the price. Pairs...
Skin Trainer Cream - Crèmes hydratantes - KIKO
Richer than the day cream, this is the one I reach for when my skin feels dehydrated or after a long flight. Wake up plumper and softer. Using this and the Skin Trainer day cream together is what made me stick with KIKO long-term. Great value for a p...
Sublime Youth Night - Visible Wrinkle Creams - KIKO
Game changer for breakouts, redness, and post-workout skin. Hypochlorous acid is what dermatologists use to calm angry skin without irritation, it's anti-inflammatory and pH-balancing. I spritz it between steps, after sweating, or whenever my skin fe...
Hypochlorous Acid Rescue Spray | Purito Seoul
The hydrating one. Overnight mask that basically melts into your skin and you wake up glowing. My pick for dry days, dehydrated skin, or pre-event prep. K-beauty at its best, once you try these, you don't go back to regular sheet masks.
BIODANCE Bio-Collagen Real Deep Hydrating Mask
Cruelty-Free Abbey Yung Method (Product Swaps for Every Step)
The viral Abbey Yung Method, reimagined with 100% cruelty-free products. Abbey's original routine mixes brands that aren't cruelty-free with ones that are, and she's been clear that "clean" versions aren't her method, but if you want her routine with...
Step 1 swap — Abbey often recommends Epres for this step. K18 is the cruelty-free swap I trust: peptide-based bond repair, Leaping Bunny certified, vegan. Apply to towel-dried hair before washing, leave 4–10 minutes, then proceed with your routine.

Step 2 swap — Abbey suggests pre-shampoo oils for dry, tangled, or damaged hair. Apply to mid-lengths and ends about 20 minutes before washing. Briogeo is Leaping Bunny certified, B Corp, and one of the most trusted cruelty-free haircare brands. Skip...
Don't Despair, Repair! Strengthening Treatment Oil
Step 3 swap — Abbey emphasizes clarifying regularly for scalp health and product performance. OUAI Detox is the gold standard cruelty-free clarifying shampoo. Removes buildup, hard water minerals, and excess oil without stripping. Use weekly or bi-we...
Detox Shampoo – OUAI
Step 4 swap — Your everyday shampoo. Abbey doesn't fear sulfates and encourages clean hair, even daily washing if needed. Briogeo's Aloe + Oat is gentle for sensitive scalps.
Be Gentle, Be Kind Aloe + Oat Milk Ultra Soothing Shampoo
Step 5 swap — Abbey rotates between conditioner, mask, and gloss depending on her hair's needs. On lighter wash days, use a rinse-out conditioner. On dryer/damaged days, sub in a mask. Briogeo's Don't Despair, Repair! is the most-recommended cruelty-...
Don't Despair, Repair!™ Deep Conditioning Mask - Briogeo Hair Care
Step 6 swap — Bond repair after washing, when hair can fully absorb the treatment. K18 is the salon-grade peptide option. Use once a week.

Step 7 swap — Apply to damp hair after washing. Provides slip for detangling, lightweight conditioning, and heat protection. OUAI Leave-In is a cruelty-free cult favourite.
Leave In Conditioner - OUAI
Step 8 swap — If you heat-style, this is non-negotiable. Abbey recommends silicone-based protection because she uses multiple heat tools. OUAI is great for finer hair.
OUAI Heat Protection Spray
Step 9 swap — Your finishing styler depending on the look you want. I use Briogeo Air Dry Cream for soft, defined natural hair.
Style + Treat™ Yuzu + Plum Oil Air Dry Hair Styling Cream
Affordable Cruelty-Free Makeup Routine (Everyday Edition)
My everyday cruelty-free makeup essentials, natural, affordable, and effective. I'm a low-maintenance makeup person: tinted serum instead of foundation, tinted brows and lashes instead of mascara, and a few hero products that do the heavy lifting. Th...
My foundation replacement and the reason I converted to tinted serums. Lightweight, skincare-infused coverage that evens out tone without feeling like makeup. Buildable from a sheer wash to medium. Catrice is PETA-certified cruelty-free, made in Germ...

My everyday eyeliner. Catrice does precision liners (felt-tip and gel) that rival luxury brands for a fraction of the price. Long-wearing, smudge-resistant, and cruelty-free.
Eyeliner - Catrice Cosmetics
The reason I don't really wear mascara anymore. UKLASH is vegan and cruelty-free, and after consistent use my lashes are visibly longer and stronger. Apply nightly to clean lash line like an eyeliner. Results show in 4-6 weeks. Worth every penny.
UKLASH Eyelash Growth Serum - #1 Rated
For days when even tinted lashes need a boost. Catrice's mascaras are vegan and cruelty-free, and at €4-5 they're easy to repurchase.
