The cult favorite gel cleanser is what I recommend to anyone looking for something that is not too stripping on the skin. Perfect as a 1 step mild cleanser for mornings and as a 2nd step water based cleanser for nights as well. It has a pretty clean ...
COSRX - Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser

It is a fantastic cleanser; my skin is clearer, my pores are smaller, my whole complexion is overall significantly better. You don't need much to get a good amount of foam and the smell really isn't that bad (it's quite a strong tea tree scent). My f...
COSRX - Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser

When I received this I was unsure of how to use it due to the directions being in Japanese. Well I’ve discovered that you only need a slightly bigger than a pea sized amount for the whole face. You first wet the palms of your hand and squeeze out the...

This is the first cleansing balm I’ve ever tried, and I must say, I really like it. It’s gentle and doesn’t strip the skin, which makes it perfect for my dry and sensitive complexion. I usually use it in the evening on days when I’ve worn more makeup...

Oily acne prone people need to get into this micellat water !! it’s so much better than oil cleansers I’ve used oil cleansers for years but it was oily a bit too harsh on my skin now I use this micellar water instead of an oil cleanser to double clea...

This really did not irritate or dry my skin, which can be very sensitive and prone to flakiness AND breakouts. It also seems to balance my oiliness very well. Overall a very good product, though it didn't cure my acne, it get's the job done of cleani...

I've used a few cleansing foams and this is one of my favourites- especially as a little goes a long way. It smells really lovely, and works amazingly well as I usually use it to clean off oil cleansers, which are a little difficult to clean off just...
Rice Water Bright Rice Bran Facial Foaming Cleanser

Moisturize with Mask

I love to use Masker for my weekly skincare routine to keep my skin moist

The mung bean mask has become my new holy grail! It is so good for my large pores and oily skin. Immediately after using I notice a difference in my skin, and the effects last throughout the next day. I love how much essence is in these, and how ligh...

I've found that it actually works out to be cheaper if you buy a bunch of these little guys, so it's great to have this option. This size is also fantastic when travelling as it is such a convenient size and you really do not need much of the product...
LANEIGE - Water Sleeping Mask EX Mini
 
Hai Kai profile picture
This is amazing at targeting early breakouts, regulating oil, moisturizing, giving a glowy baby skin, light scrub and managing visible signs of post-acne marks. This is an all-in-one mask, it's not violently scrubby, it's not drying, it takes care of...

I absolutely love this mask! The texture is so smooth and creamy, you feel the nourishment literally as you're applying it! It's just a luxurious experience that leaves your skin feeling extremely soft and smooth.
