Vitamin C Serum with Niacinamide and Sunflower Seed Oil
Splurge a Little
These are my “treat myself, but still reasonable” products. They feel a little elevated — nicer textures, prettier packaging, that spa-day-at-home vibe — but still practical enough to use regularly. Think: a little extra glow without the regret.

This is my no-drama cleanser. Foams just enough, gets me clean, doesn’t freak my skin out. I use it morning and night.
13.5 oz Toleriane Purifying Foaming Face Wash for Oily Skin - La Roche-Posay | Ulta Beauty
