The cleansers I love

this is my most recent face wash purchase and I am almost done with the bottle, I definitely love this one. It foams up when washing, it leaves my face feeling clean but not stripped and dry. It hasn’t broken me out at all and I still feel like my fa...

this vitamin C serum I really like and need to get another bottle. This one was for skin brightening and helping with discoloration and I feel like it really did do that for me. It also has little capsules of vitamin C that pop on your skin when you...

OK I really love this toner I would say it’s more of a milky toner which really helps with the hydration in the skin and keeping your skin barrier intact. It has hyaluronic acid which is going to keep that hydration and moisture in your skin. This on...

This toner is a mild exfoliating toner, so the exfoliate on this isn’t too much or harsh. I do feel like it helped with the texture of my skin reducing it and making my skin look more smooth which I really liked. I just finished up using it and I wou...
Shop SKIN1004 - Madagascar Centella Toning Toner - 210ml

this toner is another toner that is more of an exfoliate. I will say it’s stronger than the other one I mentioned and it uses salicylic acid. It definitely does help though with minimizing the look of the pores and having smoother looking skin.

I really like this toner it is another milky, moisturizing one. This contains rice water which is just really nice on the skin. I like the way this feels on my skin and I like the way that it helps add moisture to it, this is a good one.

this exfoliant really worked for me, it did wonders for getting rid of the texture on my skin and for me it wasn’t too harsh on it either. I do feel like I have somewhat sensitive skin where it can get irritated and this did not do that, in general I...

morgan profile picture
this is an OG product for me. I’d say this is one of the first exfoliates I’ve ever used. It’s always been good for me with just keeping my skin tone even all around. I also will use this under my arms because it does help with keeping my skin tone e...

so these are a more recent but but I’ve been using it for a few weeks and I can definitely see a difference when it comes to how the pores on my skin look. I will say this is pretty strong so I would start out slow with it especially if you have sens...

Moisturizer

Bring in the moisture! i’m extremely picky when it comes to moisturizer. I like my them to be thick and feel like I actually put it on. I also like them to absorb nicely and not just sit on top of my skin. I don’t like super thin moisturizers but don...

I really love this one, it had everything I needed in a moisturizer. It was thick and creamy enough without being too much. I felt like my skin just looked renewed and hydrated when I used this and it lasted all day for me. This is definitely top thr...

this is one that I most recently tried and I’m almost finished with the bottle. i’m listing this one even though it was just OK for me because it was still a decent product. If you are someone that doesn’t like more thick cream like I do you will pro...

this was a really nice moisturizer as well I felt like it gave me a lot of hydration and had my skin looking nice and plump. The only thing with this as I mentioned for another one is that it also would peel on my skin towards the end of the day or w...

last but certainly not least. I am also very strict with my sunscreen. because I have a dark skin tone I want to make sure it does not leave a white cast, I also hate to have sunscreen that feels like it’s sitting on my skin and feels greasy. It also...

this is the one I am currently using and I love it. It is SPF of 50+ and it does all the things that I need my sunscreen to do and also feels moisturizing. I will be buying this one again.

Retinol

as a girlie in her 30s I definitely make sure to incorporate this into my routine to help with any fine lines that might be forming
 
morgan profile picture
I have tried the smaller bottle of this and did finish it, I will admit I don’t have many fine lines at the moment but I think it did what it needed to do and it didn’t break me out or anything wild like that so this was a good product.

morgan profile picture
this is the newest one that I am trying, it’s supposed to help with skin tone and texture along with the fine lines and so far so good. I’ve heard really good things about this so this is why I’m adding it to the list because I think this will be a p...
