Luxury Skincare Tech
I got it for $270. Definitely tightens saggy skin if used as recommended. Uses Radio Frequency and Micro-current technology.
RF Ultra Tune 40.68
I got it for $280 (not the best current price). I recommend checking Medicube's TikTok Shop for cheaper prices. Or purchasing it within a bundle to try out more of Medicube's skincare for cheaper.
Booster Pro
I got it for $127.46. The Pure Daily Care NuDerma high-frequency wand uses Neon and Argon gas electrodes to generate a gentle electrical current, creating ozone (O₃) upon contact with the skin. This process stimulates circulation, oxygenates the skin...
NuDerma Clinical High Frequency Wand
I got it for $197.50 at Ulta when they were running a sale compared to the usual $395.00. Additionally, I got Ulta Beauty Reward points so that is something to consider. I personally think the Booster Pro is better than the NuFace. One downside to th...
I got it for $179. Tiktok shop sometimes does flash sales to get a steal. I've had 3 of these. The first one broke and with slow customer service I was able to get sent another one. That one broke I believe it was a crack in the rose quarts so I repu...
PMD Clean Pro RQ
I got this for a steal on Tiktok shop when they were doing a flash sale. I love these facial brushes. I would recommend this model over the rose quartz (RQ) model.
PMD Clean Pro
Cleansers
My morning staple is the Vanicream Cleanser and I'm still searching for my nighttime cleanser. I currently no longer double cleanse.
I really enjoyed this as a second cleanser after using eye makeup remover or micellar water when it was priced as $11. Now it is priced at $22 and refills are $30. I personally don't want to spend that much money on a cleanser so I've been looking fo...
Pore Normalizing Cleanser
17+ repurchase since 2019. This is my morning facial cleanser that I cannot recommend enough for dry sensitive skin to at least try. It's a foaming cleanser that has a nice lather to it and despite not having added fragrance smells pleasant still.
Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser 8 fl oz
This has a strong fragrance to it. When I feel fancy I like to use this cleanser.
Soy Hydrating Gentle Face Cleanser
I highly recommend the daily microexfoliant in this value set particularly because it's the best bang for buck. This formulation is perfect to buff away any grime. My skin has been able to acclimate to using it every other to every day. I prefer enzy...
Power Cleanse Duo
I like the Naturium brand. This is similar to the Vanicream Gentle Face Cleanser but I feel like it leaves a residue. I personally don't recommend.
I recommend getting this off the Elemis site when they have a good promo code since there are deals always running and they let you choose two trial sizes. This cleansing balm is out of my normal price range but by far my favorite cleansing balm/oil....
Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm
I like how this is in a squeeze bottle instead of a jar so I'm not getting the balm under my nails. It does a nice job of getting of stubborn eye make-up and is gentle enough to use around the eyes. It emulsifies nicely and does not leave a film or r...
Cleansing Oil - Naturium
Toners
This is a dense toner for dry skin in the winter. You can really feel it hydrate your skin and I would argue even add plump. This is my personally favorite toner.
Medicube Triple Collagen Toner -
This is more of a watery toner which I would recommend for oily skin. I apply this before the Triple Collagen Toner. It smell nice. I'm neutral about it.
PDRN Pink Peptide Toner
This toner is very watery so great for oily skin and smells nice. I recommend using it with the Mixsoon Bean Essence to get the pilling dead skin off your face effect.
mixsoon Soondy Centella Asiatica Essence 100ml
I highly recommend these toner pads or the mild toner pads depending on the sensitivity of your skin. They have a perfect amount of toner to pad ratio. The pads have texture to them which helps sweep away any debris on the skin that might (but should...
Zero Pore Pads
They smell like plants and personally I find it off-putting. They have texture to the pads so that helps sweep away an impurities on the skin.
Super Cica Pads
Vitamin C is good for brightening any dark spots. This toning solution ends up sudsy on the face which takes a while for the skin to absorb so I personally don't recommend.
Deep Vita C Pads
Serums
This serum is has the best fragrance. It smells like roses. I'm personally not a fan of the thought of salmon sperm for PDRN so this is a nice alternative since it's derived from roses and is vegan. The texture is somewhat gel like and does not feel ...
PDRN Pink Peptide Serum
I can't recommend this enough for dry skin. It leaves your skin supple, dewy, and bouncy. Helps achieve glass skin.
Triple Collagen Serum
Lowkey hurts if your rub your face in it. You need to pat. I personally use this on my scalp so that the hair growth serums I apply are better absorbed.
VT - Reedle Shot 100 | YesStyle
This and the Mixsoon Centellica is great for a morning skincare routine. It's hydrating enough for dry skin and the formulas (this product and the toner) together really help exfoliate the dead skin cells. If you have a lot of dead skin cells there w...
mixsoon Bean Essence 50ml
I assume this is better for mature skin. It has a nice smell to it.
Advanced Night Repair Multi-Recovery Complex Serum - Estée Lauder
Literally IT GIRL skincare. Great for when I'm in a rush in the morning MY BOTTLE IS EMPTY. Love this brand.
Rise Serum
This is great for when I'm in a rush to go to bed cuz I'm exhausted.
Rest Serum
This was my introduction to serums. It's a good staple, just not as amazing as what other serums can do.
COSRX Snail Mucin 96% Essence 100ml
Love the brand. Just didn't notice a significant difference in my skin.
Niacinamide Serum - Naturium
It's hydrating, but not the best serum out there to do that.
Hyaluronic Acid Serum 5% - Naturium
I know they worked hard to formulate this vitamin c serum which is a very finicky compound for skincare. Personally just not a fan of vitamin c.
Vitamin C Complex Serum - Naturium
Moisturizers
This moisturizer is perfect for my dry winter skin.
Triple Collagen Cream
I think this is great for normal to oily skin. It smells nice and has the consistency of a gel.
Collagen Niacinamide Jelly Cream
Had 10+ empties of this. This used to be my holy grail product. Formula has changed since I've used it. Great for normal to dry skin.
Skin Soak
This is a favorite of mine to use as a moisturizer since my skin gets so dry in the winter.
Jet Lag Mask + Moisturizer
Sunscreen
Affordable. Great for a dewy glow. Extra hydrating to the extent sometimes I use this without a moisturizer.
Spreadable. I like how it's a mineral sunscreen. It's kind of like a BB cream in a sense. I use this in lieu of foundation. This shade in particular is great for my fair skin.
Anthelios Mineral Tinted Ultra Light Face Sunscreen Fluid SPF 50 - La Roche-Posay | Ulta Beauty
Great affordable pricing option for sunscreen. It's very hydrating and glowy.
Bondi Sands Fragrance Free Face Sunscreen SPF 50
If you can tolerate the smell, it's a great mineral and foundation sunscreen.
Physical Tinted Moisturizer SPF44
Quality mineral sunscreen. No white cast. Smells minty, which is nice.
innisfree Daily UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 36
Lips
This is such a hydrating lippie without being sticky or easily worn away. This is in my favorite shade cool mauve.
maracuja juicy plumping lip oil
This has a very luxurious feel to it. It's a mix between a lipstick and balm so it's not overwhelmingly hydrating.
