My daily and core products
One of the best ones I have tried so far. A little on the pricier side but completely worth it. I truly believe in the power of double cleansing and this makes me want to do it!
Then I Met You Living Cleansing Balm Makeup Remover
The best cleanser I've used so far. You actually feel like you have cleansed your face unlike those overly gentle cleansers which requires cleansing twice. At the same time, it is not stripping! It is fragrance free but has a mildly mung-bean smell w...
beplain Mung Bean pH-Balanced Cleansing Foam
Vitamin C is probably my most tested and explored product and this is safely my no. 1 for a reason. It is effective and affordable, and I saw a huge difference in my dark spots over the few months I have been using this. If you need to get a vitamin ...
numbuzin No.5 Vitamin Serum Dark Spot Care
If you have an oily or combination skin, this is the best moisturizer for the summer time. It is very lightweight but the beta glucan in it keeps your skin hydrated and moisturised. For the price point, it is absolutely worth it! For the more dry sea...
IUNIK Beta-Glucan Daily Moisture Cream 2.02oz
You cannot go wrong with La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Barrier Repair Cream. I like to switch to this during dry and winter seasons. But it also works great during the summer. Despite having oily-combination skin, this never breaks me out. It is a product...
La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5 Cream
A recent find and an absolutely hit. I love this sunscreen, it leaves no white cast, is very moisturizing, and is just great. The only downside is that it is always sold out on Amazon and other US websites, so I buy it in bulk whenever I can.
numbuzin - No.1 Clear Filter Sun Essence
This is one of those bonus products that I like to use every now and then. Actually, I should be using this all the time because it is that good. There was a noticable difference in my skin once I started using it - it was more plumb, healthy and glo...
VT COSMETICS PDRN 100 Essence Glow Serum
I am a long time user of retinol and I have really come to like this Celimax one recently. It lasts forever and is the perfect strength for me. Would recommend this brand if you don't know which retinol on the market to get. Also, the price is very r...
celimax Vita A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster
One of the best chemical exfoliants I have used. My biggest skin concern is large pores and this has noticably reduced their appearance. Would highly recommend for people with the same skin concerns.
medicube Toner Pads Zero Pore 2.0
If you have to get one thing on this list, this is the one! Despite the amazing advancement of beauty products and the beauty industry, you cannot beat the old ways. I use this castor oil as an eye cream, on my wrinkle and wrinkle prone areas, and my...
HERITAGE STORE Black Castor Oil, 8 fl oz
This Topical cream works wonder for discoloration and blemishes. It is packed with super ingredients and works so so well in fading scars as well. A definite must-try!
Topicals Faded Brightening Serum 0.5oz
I bought this for my husband to use on his beard area for ingrown hair but he never got around to using it. So, I ended up using it as a deodrant on my arm pit and tell me why this does the best job? As an asian, I am not the sweaty kind so I don't r...
Topicals High Roller Ingrown Hair Serum 1.7oz
Haircare
I have tried so many heat protectants in the past, all of which left my hair greasy and oily by the end of the day. This one does such a great job at not only protecting my hair from heat but also UV! It does not make my hair oily or greasy. I think ...
Bumble and bumble Invisible Oil Heat/UV Leave-In Conditioner
The most recent addition to my haircare routine. I love the smell and the cooling sensation it gives my scalp. Rosemary is generally great for hair but unlike a rosemary oil, this is something you can use everyday even before you are headed out the d...
AROMATICA Rosemary Root Enhancer 100ml
I am not a pro at doing my hair at all. So I have tested so many hair tools that I hoped would make my life easier and put my hair together for me. This one has stayed! It does not make the loud sound a blow brush does, it does not make your hair ext...
Mane Large 1.77" Heated Round Brush - Ionic
I don't know what I did to my hair at some point in my life but it is forever frizzy, and in between wavy and straight. If you know, you know! The Pattern shampoo and conditioner set has been wonderful, and I saw Reese Witherspoon recommend it as wel...
Hydrate Shampoo and Medium Conditioner Gift Set - PATTERN by Tracee Ellis Ross
As an asian, oiling my hair is a must. I do this at least once a week or ideally before every wash. Mix it with some castor oil and it becomes a greatly nourishes your hair. This is a lifelong practice for me and a must-try for you as well.
Viva Naturals Organic Coconut Oil, 16 fl oz
Great product for damaged hair. Despite the quantity, it lasts a long time and you can really see its effect on your damaged hair. Love it!
No. 7 Bonding Hair Oil - Olaplex
