items My skincare picks as of late! For reference, I am extremely acne prone to the point that I was prescribed tretinoin for many, many years, up until I got pregnant and could no longer use it! For years after stopping tretinoin, nothing kept my skin cle...

The products I use daily in my daytime skincare routine! I find it's easiest for me to stick to a routine if I'm not switching it up all the time, or only using some products certain days and other products on the off days. This routine has truly cha...
To be completely honest, I'm not exactly sure what facial essences do exactly. All I know if my makeup kept separating no matter what I did, up until I added an essence to my routine! This one from Good Molecules works great and is budget friendly!
Good Molecules Sakura Hyaluronic Acid Essence
I caved and bought this when milky toners were all over TikTok, and it has drastically improved my skin! I tried a few others, and those all broke me out horribly. This one from Bubble is ultra moisturizing without making me oily! I absolutely cannot...
Bubble - Cosmic Silk Hydrating Milky Toner
This serum may seem like just another dupe for the Glow Recipe Watermelon Dew Drops, but in reality, it is so much better than the product it's duping. Unlike the Glow Recipe drops, this one has no scent, making it less irritating for acne prone skin...
Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops Brightening Serum
While the other products in my routine really do help keep my skin clear, I am still not totally immune to the occasional breakout, especially with all the hormone changes that come with postpartum. I use this spot treatment in both my daytime skinca...
Effaclar BPO Multi-Target Acne Treatment with 5.5% ...
I use this eye cream if I know I plan on wearing makeup, and it makes my under eye makeup sit so nicely! It's incredibly thick and hydrating, so I don't need to worry about crepey undereyes no matter how much product I put on (and I really love packi...
Vitamin Enriched Eye Cream & Primer
This moisturizer is my one skincare splurge. Almost every other product in my routine is affordable and effective, but this is the one pricier product that I truly cannot dupe (and believe me, I've tried). It is so moisturizing without making me oily...
PEACH & LILY - 1.69 oz Matcha Pudding Antioxidant Cream
I cannot stress enough that I have had horrible acne for honestly a decade at this point, and my worst habit is picking at my skin, which we all know only makes scarring worse. I was on tretinoin for years, and it did help clear up my acne, but contr...
Good Molecules Discoloration Correcting Serum 30 ml
Everyone tells you that SPF is a nonnegotiable in your skincare routine, but it is so difficult to find one that doesn't feel heavy and doesn't pill on top of other skincare or under makeup. I honestly gave up on trying to find a good SPF and just di...
Day Dew Sunscreen Lightweight Water-Resistant SPF 50 - Beauty of Joseon
I use this eye cream on days when I know I won't be wearing makeup, as I find it doesn't not sit well under makeup. It does help with discoloration, and doesn't irritate my under eyes or sting my eyes (both are problems I've had with many eye creams ...
The Brightening Eye Cream
For cleansing my face, I like to keep it simple! This cleanser is the perfect balance for my skin, my skin feels clean, but not stripped dry! Despite being extremely acne prone, I've noticed that cleansers geared towards acne prone skin tend to dry m...
Foaming Facial Cleanser for Normal to Oily Skin
N I G H T T I M E
These are the products I add to my nighttime skincare routine! My nighttime routine is the same as my daytime routine, I just add a retinol and swap out my moisturizer for a heavier cream!
To be completely honest, over the counter retinols do virtually nothing compared to prescription retinols such as tretinoin, retin-a, etc. I've tried plenty over the years, and they've all irritated my skin and done more harm than good. This is the f...
Retinaldehyde Cream Serum 0.10%
I use this cream every single night as the final step of my nighttime skincare routine, and it has truly changed my skin (for the better) so much! It's very heavy and thick, which terrified me as an acne prone girly, but it doesn't break me out of ca...
Cicaplast Balm B5 Soothing Therapeutic Multi Purpose Cream
When I first started adding retinol into my routine, I used this night cream on the "no retinol" nights to help make my barrier repair cream last longer, and because my skin simply didn't need such intense barrier help on nights where I wasn't using ...
PEACH & LILY - Overnight Star Night Cream
To be completely transparent, I absolutely do not use this mask nightly, or even weekly! In my opinion, it is far too expensive to be using and rebuying that often. It is, unfortunately, very very good and very very worth the price. I use this when m...
