Skincare Goats (for combo skin, sensitive to niacinamide, dry climate)
26
items I used to have insane acne for 5 years straight… so I've tested so many products. I realized I break out when I use products with niacinamide as a top ingredient, which made it even harder to find products that worked for acne-prone skin. I also live...

the goat. just get on it… you won't go back
10/10 - Insane how good this sunscreen is for literally all skin types! No white cast, great under makeup, not oily AT ALL, doesn't feel like it's sitting on your face… honestly a worthy 10/10
SKIN1004 - Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF50
10/10 - I'm broke but I keep buying this even though there's a lot of cheaper alternatives. There's just something about this that makes my face plump up!
Torriden - DIVE-IN Low Molecule Hyaluronic Acid Serum
8/10 - A cheaper alternative to the Torriden hyaluronic serum. I'd give it a solid 8/10 for the price and how it keeps my face hydrated
haruharu wonder - Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner Fragrance Free
7.5/10 - It gives my face a certain glow. I use it daily! If you're broke like I am and don't have the money to buy a bunch of products, I'd say you can leave this out till your next paycheck hits lol
COSRX - Full Fit Propolis Synergy Toner
9.5/10 - Just started using it. In Canada, it's significantly cheaper than the Dear Klairs moisturizer I have in my Non-Korean Skincare list. It's GREAT so far. VERY moisturizing, not oily at all, absorbs well into the skin. Might even be better than...
ILLIYOON - Ceramide Ato Concentrate Cream
8/10 - It calms my skin down almost immediately. It's also pretty hydrating and adds a glow to my face. If flare ups aren't a concern then I wouldn't break the bank to try this
SKIN 1004 - Madagascar Centella Asiatica 100 Ampoule
9.8/10 - One time I thought this wasn't adding much to my routine and didn't repurchase. I lasted like a week because I could see my face get duller by the day, it's insane. I love it honestly. Costco (Canada) also sells this for about 40 CAD for a b...
MEDIHEAL - Madecassoside Blemish Pad w/ Centella
10/10 - I think everyone should at least try using a cleansing oil in general. The ma:nyo cleansing oil is NOT fagrance free but it doesn't bother my skin. This makes my skin SOOOO soft. Apply and rub on DRY skin for 30 seconds, then use a little wat...
ma:nyo - Pure Cleansing Oil
Non-Korean Skincare (🇨🇦 CAN links)
sometimes… a girl's gotta deviate a little bit
9.5/10 - The hype is actually real because I've been using this for 4 years, once a week or so. My face used to be full of acne so literally anything would irritate it, but this (even though it's an exfoliant) helped A LOT with clearing up my skin. I...
Paula's Choice - Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant
10/10 - Lipcare is also technically skincare. This is as good if not better than the Laneige lip mask. I use it day and night and it's great for both. HOWEVER, I thought it was cheaper than the Laneige one but it isn't… it's 224CAD/100g while the Lan...
e.l.f. SKIN - Holy Hydration! Lip Mask
9/10 - The HARDEST part of my skincare journey was finding a moisturizer that isn't oily but still very moisturizing (cause, again, the dry climate I live in sucks). This was the only thing that worked (I'm also trying out a new one, it's in my Korea...
Dear Klairs - Rich Moist Soothing Cream
9/10 - It's supposed to be used at night before you go to bed as a “lip mask”, and it's honestly amazing. But I also use this during the day and it doesn't keep my lips as hydrated as the Elf one
LANEIGE - Lip Sleeping Mask
10/10 - If you remember Hyram the skincare youtuber, he always recommended this. I HATE that I love this because it's so expensive aaghh. But one of these bottles last me about 10-11 months if that helps lol. My skin looks so glowy after I use this c...

Torriden - Dive-In Low Molecular Hyaluronic Acid Serum 50ml Refill Set (+Sun Serum 20ml)
8/10 - A cheaper alternative to the Torriden hyaluronic serum. I'd give it a solid 8/10 for the price and how it keeps my face hydrated
haruharu wonder - Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner Free of Alcohol Fragrance
7.5/10 - It gives my face a certain glow. I use it daily! If you're broke like I am and don't have the money to buy a bunch of products, I'd say you can leave this out till your next paycheck hits lol

9.5/10 - Just started using it. It's GREAT so far. VERY moisturizing, not oily at all, absorbs well into the skin. Might even be better than the Dear Klairs one I have in my Non-Korean Skincare list. But I can't say for sure yet cause it's only been ...
