SKINCARE | PM routine
28
items This list has a blend of save and splurge worthy items that I actually keep in rotation.
✨ Pro tip: buy at stores that you can earn point for shopping like Nordstrom, Sephora, Ulta. I am finding Amazon to be even more expensive than Target these day...
The pump bottle makes use very easy. I prefer this to a balm. This formula does a good job of removing makeup and sunscreen but does not leave your skin feeling greasy.
Prequel | Pre-Gleanse Nourishing Oil Cleanser
I adore this cleanser. Admittedly I do not always do a double cleanse. If I am not using the prequel oil cleanser this one does a really good job of cleaning makeup on its own.
I use this one when my skin feels like it could use a gentle cleanse.
CeraVe | Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser
Make sure to let this one sit on your skin for a few minutes to see best results!
CeraVe | Renewing SA (Salicylic Acid) Cleanser
A wonderful exfoliating cleanser. I alternate this with the CeraVe SA cleanser
Skinmedica | AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser
I also enjoy the skin better alpharet peel pads. These are on sale through more often than skin-better products.
Dr Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta Extra Strength Daily Peel
The DDG peel pads I can only tolerate once a week right now. I also alternate my tret. On nights that I am not using tret or DDG pad I use these or the silkyshark pads
medicube | Zero Pore Pad
These are very affordable and I like them a lot. They have a high concentration of glycolic acid.

Glycolic Acid Resurfacing Pads 10% + 2%
Honorable mention to these!
They have both AHAs and BHA
5% glycolic acid, 2% salicylic acid, 5% lactic acid
I like these as well but only purchase on sale. The two of the other pads in my list are more affordable.
DRMTLGY | TINGL® Exfoliating Pads
I LOVE these. The wood is more durable than a traditional hand fan. I repurchased several times. I use this for skin care between steps to help everything dry down faster.
I also keep one in my car and one in my purse for warm days.
3 PCS Wooden Folding Fans Vintage Sandalwood
Expensive but worth it
Allies of Skin | Multi Peptides & GF (Growth Factor) Advanced Lifting Serum 7ml
This is such a power house acne fighting product
Allies of Skin | Azelaic and Kojic Advanced Clarifying Serum
I cannot get enough of the peptides
Medik8 | Liquid Peptides Advanced MP
This is literally so expensive but they have the research to back it up!
OS-01 FACE Topical Supplement
Honestly idk if this does anything but it’s affordable and I don’t mind using on my neck, chest, and hands liberally.
It also smells like a spa. I enjoy the experience of using.
DR.PEPTI Peptide Volume Master Essence Serum
If you are going to invest in an eye cream this is the one! My favorite affordable eye cream is from Timeless
Neocutis LUMIÈRE FIRM RICHE Extra Moisturizing Illuminating & Tightening Eye Cream (0.5 fl. oz.)
I use this at night only. It does not perform well under makeup.
Timeless Skin Care Hydrating Eye Cream
There are several different strengths available. I find strength #3 to be gentle enough for my neck and chest.
I use tretinoin for my face.
Medik8 | Crystal Retinal 3 Serum
I can’t link anything here because it is a prescription. I have worked my way up to a 0.1% for my face.
I use a milder retinol for my neck and chest.
Tretinoin (topical route) - Side effects & dosage
My favorite affordable facial moisturizer. I use this mainly in the winter or when my skin is feeling very dehydrated.
CeraVe | Skin Renewing Night Cream Face Moisturizer
My favorite moisturizer! Inn beauty project products are so underrated.
Inn Beauty Project | Extreme Cream Refillable Moisturizer Firming & Lifting Skincare
Obsessed with this, prescription needed.
I will never buy grande lash again, the results are just not comparable.
LATISSE®
Admittedly I pick at blemishes. This helps to minimize the damage from that. I used to use Neosporin in the same way.
This also comes in a color correcting green version that turns a skin shade. In my opinion, it oxidizes.
So I just use this morni...
Hero Cosmetics | Rescue Balm
This was previously called the “Hangover Rx pillow balm” I have repurchased no less than 20 times.
Original is my favorite, you can wear this on its own as a lip treatment or on top of color as a gloss.
It lasts extremely well on your lips. I do ...
Too Faced | Pillow Balm Hydrating Lip Treatment - original
I use these on clean, DAMP skin using hypochlorous acid. Do not use other exfoliants on the same night. This is your exfoliation.
Face Razor
Prequel | Universal Skin Facial Solution Hypochlorous Acid Spray
This stuff smells unreal! It does not soak in quite as quickly as my OSEA body oil, but I absolutely love the experience of using this. I use it on my body for a little glow. I also use it in my hair on my ends.
