Rich but not greasy at all. Also without hormone disrupting fragrance! They also have a light version but despite my skin leaning towards the oily side, I prefer the rich version.
Minéral 89 100H Rich Cream Fragrance-Free - Vichy | Ulta Beauty
Plumps my skin BETTER than hyaluronic acid. #CommissionsEarned
IUNIK Beta-Glucan Power Deep Moisture Serum
Got this tip from a Makeup Artist, put this under your eyes before concealer, if you tend to get crincly undereyes. Makes it so much smoother.
Peptide Skinjection™ Fill + Fix Under-Eye Cream
Maybe a bit “gimmicky” BUT it does feel like my skin is less dried out when I'm using this one to wash my face.
Cleansers
The first eye patches that made a visible difference in my under-eyes. Get's down swelling. Use them when you have some time, since they stay on between 1 and 2 hours. So worth it!
Instant FIRMx Collagen Infusion Tightening Eye Patches
I was skeptical, mainly because in the past I had done a “fruit acid peeling” and the derm, which was very painful and left my skin peeling. This here is very different. You do feel a slight tingle, wouldn't really call it a burn but you do feel it. ...
Even Smoother™ Instant Reveal Facial Peel|8 cotton swabs
Very moisturizing. I use it as a serum under my face lotion. Morning and night. So it does work under make up as well.
Prickly Pear Peptide Mucin
Keeps those pores clean and dead skin cells away. #CommissionsEarned
BRMUD Relief Mud Peel Off Mask - Gentle
This feels so nice! At first you can use it as a gentle mask and when you dampen your hands and rub it in, it foams up a bit, really cleansing the skin. Take your time to massage it in and rinse. #CommissionsEarned
BRMUD Relief Mud Pack to Foam Cleanser 2-in-1
This one surprised me. I know they say that everything that comes off your face using this, is the old skin but I do believe part of it is the rice powder that's in the product. However, this is part of the gentle "scrubbing action" it does. The Hydr...
medicube Peel Shot Hypochlorous Acid Serum
What does this have to do with skincare? I had to lear that we also need skincare from the inside. I've been taking this for the past few years (in my morning coffee - it does not change the flavor) and it makes my skin a bit more plump and bouncy. T...
100% Collagen from Brazilian Grass-Fed Cows
At the moment this is the only toner I use. It is gentle but still helps keep the pores clean. I especially notice the positive effects, when I wear a lot of makeup or when I am in the sun a lot. The skin gets a bit thicker, as it tans and this toner...
Essentials Radiance Toner • Brightening Glycolic Acid Toner
If you had asked me a year ago, I would have said neck cream is a scam but this one here is so rich, it does soften and strengthen the skin on my neck. At times I have used it on my face as well. If you struggle with dry skin, this is a heaven sent. ...
Tighten & Lift Neck Cream
Not only nice for pores but I also use it under my eyes because it has a cooling effect. Feels so refreshing. #CommissionsEarned
CACTOX Pore Relief Multi Balm
I use this on top (!) of my night skincare ca. twice a week. My skin is super soft the next morning. #CommissionsEarned
L'Oreal Paris Revitalift 0.3% Retinol Night Serum
Gentle but strong at the same time. The “scrubbing pearls” are very small, which makes them very effective on the skin. Old skin cells have no chance. I have this one in my shower and use it a few times a week for the past ca. 5 years. #CommissionsEa...
BrightenUp! Physical + Chemical Exfoliator
So nice under foundation. If some lotions are too oily for you and some are too drying, this is the perfect middle ground. Soothing without being greasy. Moisturizing without drying away into nothing. #CommissionsEarned
Anua 3 Ceramide Panthenol Moisture Barrier Cream
I recently realized I have so much eye cream but none with caffeine to get that puffiness down quickly. Now I finally have, and I love it! It is not a complete liquid, as I thought it would be, but a thin liquid cream that gets absorbed quickly and d... And yes, it actually does feel cooling. Not only when the little metal ball touches the skin but after.

Green Tea Caffeine Bright-Eye Serum - Innisfree
I tried this and it does smooth my skin. They also have under eye patches with the same (?) ingredients and they are amazing!
Instant Firmx Collagen Tightening Face Patches - Peter Thomas Roth | Ulta Beauty
Absolutely love these. I leave them on for 2 hours and my under-eyes are smooth when I take them off. Other eye patches hydrate but these here seem to “flatten” the are as well.
Instant FIRMx Collagen Tightening Eye Patches - Peter Thomas Roth | Ulta Beauty
Love that it is perfume free. It super moisturising and not creasy at all. It is on the richer end but not heavy. More like actual skinCARE.

Pacifica Face Cream - Vegan Ceramide Barrier Cream w/Niacinamide & Shea Butter - Hydrating Daily Face Moisturizer Fragrance Free for Sensitive Skin - on Amazon
I did not realize the beautiful effect of vitamin C on my skin until I finally tried it. Freshens up the look of my skin instantly and also gently exfoliates. So my skin looks brighter and feels smoother. Also this one is fragrance free. We don't nee...

Pacifica Glow Baby Brightening Peel Pads 10% AHA + BHA Exfoliating Face Pads for Glowing Skin Resurfacing - on Amazon
I tried almost all of the Dr.Melaxin Peel Shots and even though in many ways they feel the same, there are slight differences. This one made my skin feel so soft after the first use. And of course squeaky clean (not dried out at all!) because it gets...

Dr. Melaxin Peel Shot Kojic Acid Turmeric Serum – on Amazon
This one also takes care of dead skin and additionally feels very refreshing. So the pore minimizing effect comes with almost a cooling effect. Very nice sensation on the skin.

Dr.Melaxin Cactox Exfoliating Peel Shot Serum – on Amazon

I thought my skin was pretty soft already but there is always room for improvement. Gets my skin squeaky clean and super soft. They have another version but the scent of this one here is nicer. Not that it stays and I'm not big on scents to begin wit...

Dr.Melaxin Peel Shot Kojic Acid Turmeric Body Exfoliator on Amazon
As mentioned, the scent of the Kojic Acid version I shared is a bit better BUT I had some redness on my skin and it was gone after using this in the shower. This might have been a coincident. I know the ingredients are supposed to lighten the skin an...
