Cleansers
I use this face wash every day — it’s the best and doesn’t break the bank.
PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash Benzoyl Peroxide 10%
I started using this in my routine this year and it’s here to stay. Super reliable and works great as a second wash.
Another affordable face wash that deeply cleanses your skin.
Soap & Glory Vitamin C Brightening Facial Cleanser
Toners
My all-time favorite witch hazel toner — super effective.
Witch Hazel & Rosewater Toner
This toner went viral a while ago, and for good reason. If you’re serious about clearing hyperpigmentation, you’ll want this in your daily routine.
Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner
Picked this up randomly at Marshall’s about a month ago and I’ve been loving it ever since. My skin texture has improved, and my pores look noticeably smaller.
Beauty of Joseon Green Plum AHA BHA Toner 150ml
Moisturizers/Oils
Truly an all-in-one cream! If you already love the snail mucin essence, this takes things up a notch — I like to use it at night for maximum absorption and hydration.
COSRX Snail Mucin 92% Face Moisturizer 3.52oz
Still one of my favorites! In the colder months, it’s my go-to every morning on top of my SPF moisturizer.
POND'S Dry Skin Face Moisturizer Cream 3 Pack
Totally in love with this day cream! Found it at Marshall’s, and it has everything I was searching for in an SPF moisturizer. No disappointments here!
Cetaphil Healthy Radiance Face Cream 1.7oz
Honestly, one of the best moisturizers I’ve ever used. It’s super thick and nourishing — perfect for colder weather — and doubles as a body cream too!
Lipikar AP+M Triple Repair Body Cream for Dry Skin | La Roche-Posay
This moisturizer has been a subtle surprise on days when my skin needs an extra boost. I apply it after my SPF, and it beautifully restores moisture.
Watermelon Glow Pink Juice Oil-Free Refillable Moisturizer
Exfoliators
For the price, this at-home chemical peel is totally worth it! Just be consistent and follow the directions exactly — no shortcuts. The results are amazing.
AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution
I thought the hype on social media was too much… I was wrong. This product is AMAZING! It clears away all the dead skin, and I’ll definitely be buying a larger size soon.
Paula's Choice | Sephora
Masks+Treatments
Recently added this to my skincare routine, and it’s been great so far. No irritation or side effects!
Faded Serum for Dark Spots & Discoloration - Topicals | Sephora
Whenever my face feels off due to the environment or hormonal changes, this mask brings it right back to balance. Always does the trick!
Teami Detox Face Mask - Green Tea Clay 3.5 OZ
My little secret weapon against stubborn breakouts.
AcneFree Acne Clearing Mask 3.5% Sulfur
This is one of my all-time favorite detox masks. I use it twice weekly, and it truly delivers results. Don’t be fooled by the size — you only need a little, and it lasted me a good 6–8 months.
Youth to the People Superclay Purify + Clear Power MASK - 0.5 fl oz / 15ml - NEW
Great for smoothing out any textured areas on the skin.
Strawberry BHA Pore-Smooth Blur Drops
Can’t imagine my routine without this! Tried it after it blew up on TikTok last year, and wow — it changed my skin’s texture and bounce completely.
COSRX Snail Mucin 96% Face Serum 100ml
Eye Care
My top eye treatment discovery of the year! It took months to find the right one, and of course, Korean skincare came through again.
Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum 30ml
Good quality and perfect for daily use! I used it consistently before moving on to the Beauty of Joseon one.
Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Eye Cream
This nighttime eye cream is one of my favorites! I found it at Ulta and have been using it all year. It delivers on its claims — just bought another one.
