CLEANSERS

the first step to actually having good skin. these cleansers are sooo gentle but still get the dirt, oil, and makeup off. ur face will feel soft, fresh, and not like it just survived a desert. perfect for dry, sensitive, or “help me pls” skin days.

gentle vibes only ✨ removes dirt & makeup without drama BUT it contains soybean oil so watch out for that bc it is highly comedogenic for some people, works for me tho
FRESH Soy Face Cleanser

has an almosy putty-like(?) texture out of the tube but blends easily and slightly foamy, great for sensitive and acne-prone skin types BUT not that good for dry ande dehydrated skin

TONERS

this step is basically a little spa moment for your face 🌿✨ hydrates, calms, and preps your skin so everything else you put on actually works. lowk a glow booster if you like ACTUALLY use it consistently.

this toner doesn’t just act as an exfoliator bc it also helped me repair my skin barrier and moisturize it—a PLUS!

gentle enough to be used twice daily, best for sensitive skin bc it has rather simple ingredients, it hydrates and soften skin without being too harsh 🤩

SERUMS

the power moves for your skin. targets acne, dark spots, dullness, or dehydration. highly concentrated, super effective, and basically like giving your face a cheat code for looking good.

either u hate it or u luv it, there’s no in between. texture-wise kinda sticky that doesn’t absorb easily but at the same time it kind of “melts” into watery substance lol, but its great for soothing and hydrating the skin 🧽
