cleanser

the first step is everything~ these are the cleansers either used before or currently in rotation, from gentle everyday cleanses to deeper resets when my skin needs extra care. all tested, all approved 🤍

 
JC 🦊 profile picture
this has been my go-to cleanser for a while now and it just works. it's a low pH, tea tree-based gel cleanser that's gentle enough for daily use but still gives that fresh, actually-clean feeling without stripping your skin barrier. great for keeping...
COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser

if your skin's been feeling a little tired or congested lately, this one's worth trying. it melts away makeup, sunscreen, and buildup without stripping your skin, and the centella extract helps calm any redness or irritation along the way. lightweigh...
SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil
 
JC 🦊 profile picture
this one's become my go-to when my skin needs a deeper reset. it's an oil cleanser formulated around pore care and blackhead removal, so it goes a bit heavier duty than a typical gentle cleansing oil, but it still melts off makeup and sunscreen effor...
MANYO Pure Cleansing Oil

toner

the step that preps everything after cleansing — hydrating, balancing, and getting your skin ready to actually absorb what comes next. these are the ones that have earned their place in my recommendations 🤍

made with a high concentration of fermented rice extract and rice bran water, so it's got that gentle, glow-boosting effect without any harsh actives. skin looks brighter and more even over time, feels nourished and soft, great glow-prep before serum...
I'm From Rice Toner
 
JC 🦊 profile picture
packed with niacinamide and vitamin ingredients, it's a bit more active-forward than a purely soothing toner, geared toward fading dullness and improving overall skin tone. skin looks noticeably brighter and more even over time, helps with texture an...
Numbuzin No.5 Vitamin Boosting Essential Toner

JC 🦊 profile picture
this one leans more hydrating and calming compared to No.5. still in the vitamin-toner family, but formulated to soothe and moisturize rather than actively brighten. great for balancing skin after cleansing without any tightness. perfect for anyone w...
Numbuzin No.9 NAD+ PDRN Glow Boosting Toner
 
JC 🦊 profile picture
it's a hypochlorous acid spray that doubles as a toner, and it's become the step I reach for when my skin is angry, irritated, or just needs an instant reset. pH-balanced and alcohol-free, so it's about as gentle as a "treatment" toner gets. calms re...
Tower 28 SOS Facial Spray

essence

the step that layers in extra hydration and active ingredients. lightweight, fast-absorbing, and designed to boost whatever comes next. these are the ones that have made a real difference in my routine

this is the essence that basically needs no introduction at this point. 96% snail secretion filtrate, and it's earned its cult status for a reason. it's a hydration and repair powerhouse that layers beautifully with everything else in a routine. skin...
COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
 
JC 🦊 profile picture
this one's a quieter, more minimalist pick compared to other essences. made with fermented black bean extract, it's all about deep hydration and nourishment with a very clean, simple ingredient list. very "less is more" in the best way. skin feels de...
mixsoon Bean Essence

ampoule

concentrated, targeted, and a little more powerful than a serum, these are the products I reach for when my skin needs an extra boost, whether that's hydration, brightening, or repair. potent, effective, and worth the hype 🤍

 
JC 🦊 profile picture
this is the only ampoule i've ever bought for myself, and it did not disappoint. made with a high concentration of centella asiatica extract, it's a calming, barrier-repairing powerhouse that takes the "soothing skin1004 effect" up a notch. skin feel...
SKIN1004 Centella Ampoule

serum

formulas targeting specific concerns, whether that's hydration, brightening, texture, or repair. these are the ones that have proven themselves in my routine 🤍

 
JC 🦊 profile picture
a vitamin C-forward serum designed to fade dullness and even out tone, giving skin that lit-from-within look. lighter and brighter feeling compared to the more structural work of a firming serum. skin looks noticeably brighter and more radiant over t...
EQQUALBERRY Vitamin Illuminating Serum
 
JC 🦊 profile picture
this one's a gentler take on anti-aging. formulated with a high concentration of bakuchiol (a plant-based retinol alternative), plus ceramides, peptides, and hyaluronic acid, so it firms and plumps without any of the harshness retinol can bring. skin...
EQQUALBERRY Bakuchiol Plumping Serum
 
JC 🦊 profile picture
this is a much more concentrated, active-forward step compared to the No.5 toner. packed with arbutin, ceramides, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, tranexamic acid, and vitamins C and E, it's built specifically to target hyperpigmentation and dark spots....

I'm From Rice Cream
 
JC 🦊 profile picture
instead of a water base, it's formulated with a high concentration of centella asiatica leaf water alongside salmon PDRN and salmon egg extract, making it a repair-and-regenerate powerhouse rather than just a hydrating finish. skin feels visibly calm...
HEVEBLUE Salmon Caring Centella Cream
 
JC 🦊 profile picture

Torriden DIVE IN Hyaluronic Acid Soothing Cream

sunscreen

the non-negotiable last step, protecting everything else in the routine while keeping skin safe from sun damage and premature aging. these are the ones that don't leave a white cast or greasy finish, so wearing SPF every day actually feels effortless...

 
JC 🦊 profile picture
I've tried more sunscreens than I can count trying to find "the one"," and this is it. after years of chasing a formula that actually delivers on protection and feels good to wear every single day, Anessa is the one I always come back to and the only...
