Purple Star emoji 12 items
Skincare that have been approved by my sensitive, reactive and overall picky skin. Really would like to have more low-cost products but honestly, sometimes paying a bit more does a big difference.

Creams

Leaves skin super smooth and hydrated all day. Reduces shine by a lot and reduces those filaments around the nose noticeably. I use it as a “mask” for the night and wake up with what looks like renewed glass-like skin. As it is a but putty-like, a ...

Basic but effective moisturising cream. Really lest my skin hydrated all day. Doesn’t mattify that much though. The pm cream is rich and really helps my skin reset during the night.

Serums

I only use it at night but it helped my pores to become sooo much smaller! Also, reduced the appearance of black sports on my nose. Do not put too much! It’s ultra concentrated and 2/3 drops go a long way as it is pretty watery. Bit pricey, but a...

Sunscreen

Great sunscreen. Really lightweight and helps control greasy skin throughout the day. Really feels protecting. It doesn’t itch much the eyes if it gets in and doesn’t leave a white cast. Leaves the skin with a sort of velvet feeling to the touch. Don...

Leaves your skin feeling clean and purified. Like I literally feel as if the muck of the day has been stripped off. Leaves my face soft and smooth. Tip: put it in one of those bottles that makes it foam directly with some water to make it extra foa...

I use Sebium H2O one. For people who wear makeup and are acne prone, really a life saver 2 in 1! Cleans everything with ease.

Basic cleanser for everyday use. I like it because it has no perfume/fragrance in it so it reduces the chances of your skin getting irritated. Leaves skin feeling fresh and clean. Great recommendation for a basic but effective product!

Holy grail for lip products. Only ones to actually repair my dry chapped lips without creating more peels. Love it. Have one in like every bag I own (which is 2 but anyway).
Aquaphor® Lip Care Products

Just like any other hydrochloroid patches. They work just fine, and do what they say it does. Sucked out the gunk from my face and kinda reduces the redness a bit. Not my favourite choice, but it gets the job done.

Ance/Treatment

Helps clean off all impurities and helped me reduce the amount of acne breakouts I had. Don’t put a lot on your skin though! Too much can make it peel when you touch your face. With little, it goes a long way.
Effaclar Multi-Target Acne Treatment with Salicylic Acid

For those acne spots that are inflamed and red. It can really help calm down the spot and reduce redness. Doesn’t eliminate the spot though. Only helps it start healing.
