Cleanser
All the cleansers I’ve used and liked that didn’t break me out or irritate my skin!
Very simple, gentle cleanser with no actives that doesn’t leave my skin feeling super dry or stripped but clean and refreshed.
ROUND LAB 1025 Dokdo Cleanser 5.07 Fl Oz
Love this oil cleanser to remove sunscreen and makeup. Takes off everything and doesn’t burn like other oil cleansers I’ve used. Typically on the cheaper end of oil cleansers I’ve used.
Thunder Tech KOSE Softymo Speedy Cleansing Oil 230ml
I like this option for traveling since I don’t need to double cleanse with this - I can just apply it and wash off my makeup. It has a very thick, creamy texture with some bead-like things in there for some light physical exfoliation. I normally don’...
ARENCIA Korean Rice Mochi Face Cleanser
LOVE this cleanser. Doesn’t strip my skin of anything and I feel hydrated afterwards but also takes off all of my makeup entirely. Great for colder weather when it is dry.
Glycerin Cleanser For The Face & Body - Gleanser
Moisturizers
All of my favorite moisturizers that keep me feeling hydrated and glowy!
Love this moisturizer for both AM and PM - has ectoin and it feels super hydrating while not feeling super sticky.
Molecular Mesh Barrier Strengthening Moisturizer with Ectoin + Centella - Experiment | Sephora
Amazing moisturizer to put on top after your serums to lock in moisture. Has little bead-like things that add in extra hydration and the hydration lasts through the day and night!
AESTURA ATOBARRIER365 Cream with Ceramides
Definitely the priciest product in my routine, but was recommended this by my esthetician. So far I’ve been loving how it feels on my skin and it doesn’t leave any dry flakes or redness like other retinals I’ve used. I like that it’s a retinal hydrat...
RetaXome Daily Retinal Hydrator
Serums
The serums that I love that do the heavy lifting with getting rid of my hyperpigmentation!
I use this serum as the first thing right after cleansing and drying the face. It’s essentially “microneedling in a bottle” where there are tiny spicules made of hydrolysed sponge to create pathways in the top layer of the skin for better absorption....
VT COSMETICS CICA Reedle Shot 100 Serum
Love this serum for lightening dark spots and hyperpigmentation. Doesn’t break me out and doesn’t leave any sticky texture. I usually put this on after the reedle shot if I want to focus on lightening some dark spots or hyperpigmentation.
No.5+ Glutathione Vitamin Concentrated Serum
I love using this (vegan) PDRN serum right after the reedle shot. It adds extra hydration to my skin and initially feels thick, but once it’s on doesn’t feel sticky at all. I wake up and my face feels super soft and glowy.
VT COSMETICS PDRN 100 Essence Glow Serum
One of my favorite serums EVER. This has PDRN and makes my skin feel so plump and soft and I always wake up with moisturized skin when I use this the previous night.
Shop Rejuran - Dual Effect Ampoule - 30ml | STYLEVANA
Sunscreen
Great sunscreen that doesn’t leave any white cast and blends into my skin nicely. It doesn’t leave any shininess or stickiness and it really feels like just putting on a thicker moisturizer.
ROUND LAB Birch Juice Moisturizing UV LOCK SPF 45
Such an underrated sunscreen - it feels lightweight, but preps my skin really well before putting makeup on. A huge fan of the texture and also leaves to white cast.
Green Tea SPF 50 Daily Defense Sunscreen
When I want just throw on SPF and go out, this is the sunscreen I use! Has nice coverage that can be buildable if needed but I love using this sunscreen and going without makeup. Really smooths the texture and evens out my skin tone!
ALASTIN HydraTint Pro Mineral Sunscreen SPF36
Prescription
When I first had acne, I was prescribed with tretinoin. I had to push through the purge and flakiness but it has done wonders for my skin. I will say that I haven’t been on tretinoin recently since my skin is stable now but I do attribute a lot of th...
Tretinoin (topical route) - Side effects & dosage
If you can get prescribed 15% azelaic acid, I would 100% go for it. This combined with the tretinoin was the biggest game changer for when I dealt with my worst acne. I still use it til this day and it does not irritate the skin and doesn’t leave my ...
