items skincare products that have changed my skin for the better. hydrating, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, brightening.
the best affordable hyaluronic acid on the market. your thirsty skin will thank you!
Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5
for dry and inflamed skin - moisturizes so well and won't make acne worse
Tea Tree and Vitamin E Relief Cream
holy grail of affordable clay masks. can be too drying to use more than once a week on sensitive skin, but it is AMAZING for shrinking pores and existing acne. highlyyy recommend.
Aztec Secret – Indian Healing Clay 1 lb
shrink your pores and get rid of blackheads without drying sensitive skin
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
if you ever suffer from puffy eyes and dark circles, this is KEY. dab a small amount under eyes and above eyelids for instant lift and brighter eyes. when I say this stuff works, it REALLY works!
Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG
the BEST affordable makeup remover out there in my opinion. takes off literally everything (waterproof mascara and liner included) in literally 30 seconds. no harsh rubbing, skin-soothing ingredients, and subtle pleasant smell. can use alone or doubl...
Instant Cleansing Balm - Good Molecules | Ulta Beauty
the cult favorite cleansing balm that is totally worth the hype. removes all makeup in seconds, smells great, eco-friendly, and no need for a double-cleanse.
Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm - Farmacy
quite literally my favorite scent at the moment. fresh and slightly woody, with high notes of matcha and low notes of vetiver and cedar. pricey but entirely worth it. and they sell samples 🤩
THÉ MATCHA 26 | Le Labo Fragrances
if you're a tanning girlie like me, this is the ultra-soothing spray you need after your post-beach shower. whether you're going to bed or getting ready to go out, it will hydrate and revive you.
After Sun Rehydrating
if you're looking for a powerful and long-lasting sunscreen that doubles as primer and won't clog your pores, this is IT. yes its pricey, but trust me when I say I've tried a million sunscreens and this is always the one I go back to.
Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40
if you struggle with ingrowns on your bikini line, you NEED this product. I have stubborn, coarse, dark hair (thanks mom and dad) and nothing got rid of ingrowns from shaving/waxing except this. pricey but WORTH IT.
Fur Ingrown Concentrate
won't clog pores, wears well under makeup
La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-in Milk Body & Face Sunscreen
this is the BEST spot treatment I've ever used, and it's so hard to find in stores. works on surface zits overnight, and on cystic acne with 2-3 treatments. can be worn under makeup. pro tip for night treatment: apply after toner/before moisturizer, ...
Desert Essence Blemish Touch Stick
affordable and truly effective vitamin C serum. also contains hyaluronic acid, witch hazel, and vitamin E. brightens complexion and fades dark spots over time (sun spots and acne scars).
TruSkin Vitamin C Serum
cult fav for a reason - seals in moisture even better than a good hyaluronic acid serum. if you're using actives (niacinamide, retinol, azaleic acid, glycolic acid, etc), apply those first and let dry, then wet face and apply mucin while face is stil...
COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin
this plus the mucin is the best combo for day! lightweight and smooth under makeup but still leaves you feeling moisturized
COSRX All-in-One Cream
seriously can't recommend this stuff enough - the shimmer, the smell, EVERYTHING. I use it after moisturizer on my face (super acne-prone) and it NEVER breaks me out. use it on your hair, add it to body lotion, etc. worth EVERY PENNY.
Huile Prodigieuse® | No.1 Dry Body Oil in France
best for dry/combination sensitive skin prone to breakouts. cerave moisturizing cream is similar but still made me break out - this doesn't! and huge bonus it's SO affordable, this tub probably lasts 6+ months or more
Vanicream Moisturizing Skin Cream 16 fl oz
