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.
this one? Hydrating CLEAN. no burning, no redness. if u have sensitive or dry skin, this is your soulmate.
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
Mugwort Calming Cleanser
HOLY GRAIL! non stripping, cleans well, smells soo good and lathers really nicely 🧼
The Rice Wash Soft Cream Cleanser
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.
LUV THIS! completely changed my skin for the better ✨ reduces redness and dryness (HURRAH!) suitable for various skin types actually, hydrating, soothing, non-sticky, and improves skin barrier
Hydrating Milky Toner
this toner doesn’t just act as an exfoliator bc it also helped me repair my skin barrier and moisturize it—a PLUS!
Saccharomyces Ferment 30% Milky Toner
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 🤩
1025 Dokdo Toner
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 🧽
Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
..nothing but praises actually, cos the oiliness of my skin has been reduced, my pores looked refine, AND LESS inflammation! my skin has never looked better, a crucial item for my skincare routine ☺️
The Ordinary | Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
MOISTURIZERS
lock in that hydration babes 🧴💖 keeps ur skin soft, plump, and healthy all day. feels like a hug for your face — yes, so if you’re lazy literally just slap it on at night
lived in a dry and humid environment and THIS moisturizer never fails me 😫 non-irritating on skin and has such a nice hydrating finish under my makeup
Atoderm Intensive Gel-cream 16,9 fl. oz
suuuper lightweight, absorbs quickly, dewy, also sits well under makeup and moisturizes my skin well ☘️
belif - Official Website
CONTROVERSIAL! sue me but personally i find this really good for my skin, it works well also i only need a dime sized for it to work so it doesnt run out too fast, its actually so light, and during summer my skin doesn’t feel too oily at all! and its...
Peter Thomas Roth Moisturizer
also lightweight, non-greasy feel, hydrating BUT not the best for acne-prone skin
Dr. Jart+ - Water Fuse Ultimate Hydro Gel 50ml
SUNSCREENS
the MOST IMPORTANT STEP (don’t skip it pls) ☀️ ur skin needs protection from sun damage, dark spots, and aging. and these sunscreens are lightweight, non-sticky, and make your face look glowy, not greasy.
moisturizing, calming, great under makeup, good sunscreen but not the best
Beauty of Joseon Sunscreens
HOLY HOLY HOLY GRAIL! so so lightweight, no white cast, non-drying, non-greasy and doesn’t have weird texture, sooo great under makeup esp concealer and foundation its kind of like a sunscreen but also a blurring primer i guess? 😭 its literally the ...
Sunscreen – SKIN1004
its good, the niacinamide in it can help with acne as well as brighten skin and minimize pores. not exactly my favorite because skin1004 has my heart but this sunscreen also do wonders.
uv clear - the one that contains niacinamide, this formula is s...
