Facial Cleansers
In the morning, I cleanse my skin with water only. In the night-time is when I bring in my products to clear up my skin from build-up and sebum.
For those new to skincare, the rule is oil cleanser FIRST, water-based cleanser SECOND!

Hands down the most effective oil cleanser I've used. Koreans did their big one when they created this💯
Two pumps should be enough to massage the oil into the face and then add water to make it milkier and, thus, easier to remove one done.
No eye st...
Haruharu Wonder | Black Rice Moisture Cleansing Oil
1
I use this immediately after my oil cleanser (either on damp or dry skin). A nice lather, that makes my face so soft and doesn't dry it out
A just-right option for those with sensitive skin like me, especially when foamier ones can be drying
Cetaphil | Gentle Skin Cleanser for Sensitive Skin
The first ever oil cleanser I ever tried! It unclogged my pores quite well. It smells slightly due to rosemary essential oil being listed as an ingredient, but it didn't exacerbate or inflame my acne spots
BYOMA | Milky Oil Cleanser
Facial Moisturisers
Moisturisers are a must for sealing in the hydration to protect the skin from losing water and restoring the top barrier into a healthier state.
A rich texture that doesn't feel heavy on my skin and keeps my face feeling moisturised throughout the night
Cetaphil | Rich Night Cream
A calming and soothing cream for repairing my skin's natural barrier! It reduces any redness and irritation, plus is perfect to use immediately after my acne treatment
Purito Seoul | Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream
SPFs
A list of sun blocks that protect the skin for harmful UV rays AND are appropriate for melanated complexions 💅🏽
Best SPF to exist! It's so lightweight, moisturising, doesn't irritate my eyes, and leaves NO white cast on my brown skin💙
Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel
Another non-irritating SPF option I like! This pink fluid blends clear onto my skin, so it's brown/black girl friendly✨
Byoma | Ultralight Face Fluid SPF 50
Serums
Personally, I like to use my serum during the day after washing my face in the morning with some water. That way, it can target particular skin problems depending on what I may wish to focus on. While most of them get absorbed into the pores relative...
Really enjoy using this serum every morning, helps to hydrate on damp skin and has gradually calmed my skin from any redness... No wonder I restock it often from running out quite quickly 🤷🏽♀️
Aveeno | Calm+Restore® Triple Oat Serum
Another K-beauty brand I like so far. Has reduced redness on my cheeks after a couple of uses, with some random breakouts clearing within 1-2 days.
Anua | Azelaic Acid 10+ Hyaluron Redness Soothing Serum

Adapalene was a lifesaver! Realistically, I saw results after 3.5 months and it was worth the wait. Now I use it about 3-4x a week for to maintain my clear skin and prevent new acne spots from appearing

My number one go-to lip product whenever cracked skin and stinging dryness of my lips extends to around my mouth too! I'd suggest to use either day or night on and around the lips, let the product be absorbed. Makes a difference for me in two to thre...
