My skin is sensitive, redness-prone, and a little dry.
I’ve tried all the strong stuff — tret, tazarotene, medical-grade creams — but I finally found what actually works for me 💕
It’s mostly K-beauty staples with a couple derm splurges.

My skin’s support squad 💫 — the extras I pull in when I need them. Glow toners, barrier resets, calming creams, or SPF swaps for special occasions. I don’t use these every day, but they keep my routine flexible and responsive to how my skin feels.
Milky hydration = softest skin ever. Highly recommend the mist add on top!
