I recently tried Sculptra at Medicine Based Beauty to help stimulate collagen growth. I had this injected in my cheeks and around my jaw. I love the results I have gotten so far!
Sculptra— Medicine-Based Beauty®
I recently did my first round of Moxi laser treatment to help with hyperpigmentation, texture and tone and I have to say… the results are incredible. I'm looking forward to doing my second round!
Medicine-Based Beauty® Syracuse Moxi Laser
Skincare
I love how this cleanser makes my skin feel - clean but not stripped and the texture is amazing.
Tatcha The Rice Wash
I will never go without this cleanser. I douse my face, neck and chest with this morning and night. And its a good bang for your buck - there is a ton of product.
TIRTIR Milk Skin Rice Toner
Tretinoin, by far, has made the biggest difference in my skin. It was a bit scary at first as my skin began to shed and purge. But, after 2-3 weeks, my skin adjusted and I was left with a beautiful glow. It's also helped fade my hyperpigmentation.
Medicine-Based Beauty Tretinoin
I use this morning and night and I love it. It makes my skin feel super hydrated and soft. After just a week of use I noticed a change in firmness and overall hydration. I've also found its hydrating enough in the winter when I'm prone to dry skin.
Medicine-Based Beauty Neuropeptide Beauty Balm
I am obsessed with this product. I cannot say it enough. The hydration boost and glow it gives my skin is unmatched. I put this on after the neuropeptide beauty balm and my skin feels plump all day.
Naturium Barrier Bounce Advanced Skin Hydrator
Extras
I use this one a week - it's strong but effective!
Naturium AHA Exfoliating Mask 10%
I use this 1-2 times a week. It shrinks my pores and makes my skin feel taut and firm!
Joseon Red Bean Pore Refreshing Mask
I don't use this regularly - mainly when I'm noticing my skin is dry or breaking out - and it helps tremendously!
Fresh Floral Recovery Overnight Mask with Squalane
I've tried many different brands of pimple patches and this is, by far, my favorite.
