My skincare routine for June 2025 (Cruelty-free)

Sun with Face emoji 20 items
I've been changing up my skincare a lot recently, so it's time to buckle down and stick to something for a month. For June 2025, I wanted to focus on anti-aging, brightening, and hydration.  Here's what I'm using for my routine this June (along with prescription Tretinoin) to keep my skin healthy and youthful. ℹ️ This list includes affiliate links.

Cleansers

The classics to remove SPF and everything else at the end of the day

This is my go-to oil cleanser.  It breaks down all my makeup and SPF every time. I've only tried a handful of oil cleansers because I tried this one first and it was so good!

You already know I'm obsessed with Experiment! Plasma wash is incredible, I love how much it foams up and leaves my skin feeling clean but not tight.

For the most part for June I'm sticking to Experiment, but this is another amazing cleanser that's effective and gentle.

Hydrate, brighten, and fight wrinkles

SUCH a good serum! It’s so hydrating and sinks right into the skin. I have rosacea and this keeps my skin feeling hydrated, soft, and redness-free.

Yes, yes, yes! I love this serum - definitely worth the money! I love to pair with with Experiment’s Super Saturated serum and tretinoin at nighttime. I wake up with such even skin every time!

I have rosacea and started using a lot of products with licorice root extract and found that my skin loves it. Then I found this serum and I cannot live without it! It’s a great texture and layers easily with my other products and does not cause pill...

I love the original Liquid Peptides, so I decided to try this.  So far I really like it!

Just got this and so far I am loving it!  The texture is so nice - like a dry oil almost.
Medik8 C-Tetra Luxe

Just started this, but I have high hopes!  I use in the morning before C-Tetra and at night before Liquid Peptides
Medik8 Oxy-R Peptides

I’m switching my daytime serum to this in lieu of Vit C. I’d been loving the Vit C serum I listed, but I started to experience irritation and I think it may have been the culprit.

Moisturizers & oils

For super moisturized, glowy skin

LOVE this as a nighttime or under-makeup moisturizer! (It's VERY dewy so I personally don't like it for bare face days). It keeps my skin hydrated and plump. It has ingredients to help your barrier and it's very gentle! So far it's not pilled under a...

I have dry skin and I love a good face oil. This rose oil is one of my holy grails. A couple drops of this mixed with a couple drops of argan and jojoba oils before bed and I wake up glowing! It’s pricy but it’s worth it. I would defiantly suggest th...

My favorite oil! Josie Maran products have been so good for my skin. I love mixing this with rose and jojoba oil for my own skincare super oil.

Why did I wait so long to try jojoba oil?!  I just happened to pick this up at drugstore one day and I was so impressed! Adding this to my night oils has been WONDERFUL.  2 drops of this jojoba, 2 drops of Phoenix oil, and 2 drops of JM argan oil and I wake up with the most incredibly soft and smooth skin!

Love all the ceramides in this!  It's a great moisturizer, but I've had some pilling with it when combined with certain serums and SPF (haven't narrowed done what the culprit is yet). HOWEVER, it's still an excellent ceramide cream!

SPF

EVERY SINGLE DAY!

I am OBSESSED with this SPF stick!  And it has argan oil? Yes, please.  It's so easy to apply and doesn't cause any irritation.

The only lip product I need in the summer! (and the winter, a lot of the time) The tint is PERFECT.  I love that it's a stick rather than a gloss so my lips are never sticky. I ALWAYS have this in my bag. They make an untinted version as well!

The devices I'm sticking with for my face!

I love my Higher Dose red light mask! It’s easy to to use, comfortable to wear, and seems to make a difference. I’ve had mine for about 2 years and it’s a staple in my routine.

I've used this a few time and I really enjoy it as part of my anti-aging routing. I'll keep this updated as I continue to use it!

I only just bought this radio frequency device, but so far I have enjoyed using it! It does get quite warm, and does cause redness during use, but it's not uncomfortable at all and the redness goes away within minutes.  I'll update this review after I've been using it for a few months!
