Moisturizer
I really wasn't expecting much from this product because it is supposed to give you "dewy" skin and to me dewy skin just looks oily. This has become a staple in my morning routine and it gives my skin so much hydration without looking oily. This has ...
Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops - Glow Recipe
1
This moisturizer is so affordable which has got to be my favorite thing about it for being such an amazing product. It gives my skin so much hydration and the packaging is the best. The airless pump allows me to mix in serums to my moisturizer. I hav...
Slam Dunk Hydrating Moisturizer for Normal & ... - Bubble
I struggle with redness on my face and this cream hid it completely. Great for redness or acne scarring.
Cicapair™ | Dr.Jart+
This cream is one I only use in the mornings and it really brings life back into my face. I have been testing many new products lately and this will definitely be repurchased.
GinZing™ Energizing Gel Cream - Origins
As someone who tests out new products frequently, I have damaged my skin barrier on many occasions. This moisturizer immediately calms my skin and fixes my skin barrier. If you deal with burning after using certain products, throw them away and reach...
Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Rich Barrier Moisturizer
This cream moisturizer is the perfect base for any makeup look, but especially if you like blending glow drops or bronzing drops in. My face looks so hydrated after using, without looking oily. So perfect!
Moisturizers - Youth To The People
Serum
The Cosrx snail mucin gives your skin a glass-like finish which is so trendy right now. It feels so refreshing on my skin and makes me look so hydrated. I have combination skin and it works great for me and it's recommended for all skin types.
Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
Kiehls is my go-to when it comes to evening your skin tone, texture, etc. This has helped get rid of my acne scars and also got rid of the redness on my face.
Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Corrector - Serums
The Ordinary is the best, so affordable and so effective. This serum gives you SO much hydration, GET IT!
Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5
This serum is amazing for fixing texturized skin. I use to have so many bumps on my face and this fixed it.
Lactic Acid 5% + HA
This niacinamide serum gives my skin so much moisture, and I love to lock it in with the cosrx snail mucin which I also have linked on my page.
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
I have had horrible reactions to many vitamin c serums but this one did wonders for my skin. Side note you cannot mix this with products with things like BHA and AHA (which is in the glow recipe toner) so my recommendation is to use those toners at n...
Bright Idea Vitamin C & Tri-Peptide Face Serum
This brand seriously never misses. I have tried their eye cream, vitamin c, and moisturizer and they have all impressed me. This serum brightens my skin and just makes me look alive again in the morning. 10/10 recommend!
Banana Bright™ Vitamin C Serum | OLEHENRIKSEN
Toner
I genuinely LOVE this toner! It has made my skin so smooth and minimizes my pores. The only down side is that it does have a slight watermelon scent, so if your skin is sensitive to products with scent I would stay away. I do have pretty sensitive sk...
Watermelon Glow PHA+BHA Pore-Tight Toner
This spray is something I always carry around in my purse because it gives my skin and instant refresh during the day. I tend to get oily skin throughout the day and this truly just gives my face the reset it needs, even when i'm wearing makeup.
Bounce Back Refreshing Skin Toner Spray
This smoothed out my skin and helped with my oily problem areas. I also found this has dried up any breakouts but make sure you moisturize well after using and use SPF during the day.
Face Toner For Sensitive Skin - La Roche-Posay
Not really sure what this product is defined as, but it's essentially just a spray that gives you a glowy look. I use it before applying makeup with the few drops for the ultimate glow. Definitely a fav.
Watermelon Glow Ultra-Fine Mist
Now if you are looking for a product you can use for multiple things, this is it. It can be used as an exfoliating toner for your face 2 times a week, use it on underarms to get rid of darkness, on legs for disappearing strawberry marks, feet to exfo...
Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner | The Ordinary
Eye Cream
This eye cream is AMAZING. It makes my dark circles disappear and I almost feel like it gives you coverage like a concealer would, except it is great for your skin. It is so lightweight and I haven't tried an eye cream I love as much as this one.
Summer Fridays Light Aura Vitamin C + Peptide Eye Cream
This is an affordable eye gel that I use every morning. It is very lightweight and definitely eliminates the puffiness under my eyes.
Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel
I absolutely love this eye hyaluronic acid serum. Helps with wrinkles/ creasing under the eyes as well as puffiness by plumping your skin. The applicator has to be my favorite because it is so cooling on the skin.
L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Derm Intensives Hyaluronic Acid ...
This gel is so amazing and gets rid of my puffiness in the morning. That is partly because of the product itself but also from the amazing packaging. You apply this with the roller ball on the pump and it cools your under eye also reducing puffiness.
Eye Do All Things Brightening Eye Gel
I never thought a product could lighten my under eyes so much. If you deal with dark under eyes, this is for you.
Banana Bright+ Eye Crème - Vitamin C Eye Cream
This is a lightweight, cooling eye gel. It is perfect for a day where you don't want much on your skin, but are looking for a little brightness and hydration.
Ceramide Eye Gel - For Puffy, Tired Eyes | Mario Badescu
Face Wash
This drug store face wash is my holy grail when it comes to keeping your skin clear and fighting any breakouts you have. I use this morning and night and I have not had a single breakout since using it.
Panoxyl- 4% benzoyl peroxide cleanser
Both of these face washes are really amazing. It helped control my breakouts and my skin just felt so clean after using. This is a must try.
Face Wash
You really can't go wrong with cerave. It cleans your face super well and is great for sensitive skin. My brother struggles with eczema as well and this has helped him with that.
Foaming Facial Cleanser for Normal to Oily Skin
I double cleanse with cera ve and the tula face wash in the morning and this combined with other new products i've been using has led to me not having a single breakout in over a month. I generally breakout during that time of the month and I didn't ...
Purifying Cleanser - Probiotic Extract Face Wash
Not only is the packaging aesthetic and cute, but this face wash is so gentle and makes my skin feel so clean. I double cleans with this and the second one being the Tula cleanser.

Another amazing gentle face wash, makes my skin feel so bright after using. Love this so much.
Soy pH-Balanced Hydrating Face Wash - Cleansers - Fresh
SPF
I am in love with this powder sunscreen. My scalp ALWAYS gets burnt and anyone who deals with this knows it's the worst. This powder is great for your scalp and gives you that SPF protection without making your hair greasy and oily like a typical sun...
(Re)setting 100% Mineral Powder SPF 35
The best tinted SPF. I love the coverage it gives me and the fact that it's not oily. Also love how it has hyaluronic acid in it so hydrates my skin.
Glowscreen SPF 40 Sunscreen with Hyaluronic Acid ...
Another really great tinted SPF. Love how it's 50 SPF so it gives you really great protection and coverage with the tint without the oil a typical sunscreen gives you.
Anthelios Mineral Tinted Sunscreen for Face SPF 50
Super great sunscreen. It smells good, doesn't leave you looking oily, and doesn't leave a white cast. Really can't ask for anything more.
Original SPF 50 Sunscreen Face Lotion
Seriously a great product and probably one of my favorite sunscreens. It is pretty much a skin tint with spf and melts into your skin when applied.
DreamBeam SPF 40 PA++++
I did a patch test with this sunscreen and the results were crazy. There was a distinct line of where i put the sunscreen and it is only 30 spf. I was outside the whole day and didn't reapply and this sunscreen didn't make me burn at all. Great affor...
Face Sunscreen
Acne Treatments
Clears up my acne almost completely the day after using it. I use it every day on areas I often breakout to minimize them, and just over any new pimples.
Effaclar Duo | Acne Spot Treatment
Old, popular product but a good one nonetheless. Dries up any pimples and clears them up, I will always repurchase this.
Drying Lotion - On-The-Spot Solution for Blemishes
Masks
This overnight mask really helps lock in your skins moisture. I use this every night and wake up with the most plump and hydrated skin.
Over Night Hydrating Sleep Mask
Using this one time I could already see a difference. Woke up with GLOWY skin.
Superberry Hydrate and Glow Dream Mask - Youth To The People
Get it. Amazing brand, clean products, and my skin LOVED this.
Overnight Vitalizing Mask - Sulwhasoo
Having acne prone skin, it is scary looking for masks that hopefully won't break me out. This one is great for people with oily skin, as it does dry down on the skin. It seems to lessen my face oil and brightens my skin which makes it glowy.
Super Collagen Mask - Toning & Firming | Mario Badescu
This mask if everything for people with larger pores and oily skin. I only use this on my T zone and the difference is everything. I use it every 3 days or so and in those 3 days after using it, my skin just feels amazing.
Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask | innisfree
Facial Oil
This is another new product I added into my routine about a month ago and as someone with oily, acne prone skin i get nervous using face oils. I use this everyday only at night, and guys, i haven't had a single breakout/ pimple since i started using ...
100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil
I'm not gonna lie, this doesn't smell good just because of the tumeric. But i use this in the mornings at the end of my routine and my skin immediately absorbs it and is plump and glowy. Perfect oil for morning use if you are looking for one.
