This Cerave Hydrating Facial Cleanser is very lightweight and hydrating at the same time. It doesn't strip my skin and leaves it nice and bouncy, though I have dry skin. Simple & effective.

Another gentle face cleanser that doesn't leave my skin stripped is Vanicream. A staple, essential, and simply fragrance free cleanser that gets the job done.

I love using this bioderma miceller water for removing eye-makeup since it is extremely gentle, but I'm able to use it on a cotton pad to get deeper into some areas on my face. It is light and wonderful for precision makeup removal. I also like to ke...

The Timeless Vitamin C has a high concentration of Vitamin C as well as  Ferulic Acid and Vitamin E which are amazing ingredients to help your skin reduce hyperpigmentation, age spots, and wrinkles from sun exposure and aging. I love this one since it applies smoothly on my face and neck, and doesn't leave a dry film like... 

Apply this right after your morning cleanser. For people with very sensitive skin, try the 10%. This one is a crowd pleaser!

Snail Mucin might sound weird, BUT it is honestly a power ingredients for dry or sensitive skin. I use one pump in the day and two pumps at night since it will leave your skin feeling like there is a film over it. 

Not only is this incredibly hydrating, but it is good for when my skin has redness or flare-ups as well. I've also seen a reduction in fine lines & wrinkles from using two pumps of this at night. I wake up with glowing skin!

Go to the gym? Get a hydrychloride spray - this was a game changer for me! When you work up a sweat, that can really affect your facial acne. I use this after the gym to ensure I kill all the bacteria on my face during workout sets, and then do a ful...

This french product is a light version or retinoids that has a very silky and ointment-like texture. It makes your skin look extremely smooth the next day, giving you a filtered look overnight. Using it right under your moisturizer. Perfect for insta...

This has a cult following and is amazing for all skin types. For sensitive skin, I would start using this product by “buffering” your skin (with moisturizing before and after application of this product) and using it once a week until your skin build...

This is a lightweight moisturizer that I love using during the daytime because it also has a star ingredient… hyaluronic acid! This feels light, but really locks in moisture. I love using this on top of the COSRX snail mucin. They make a great team. ...

This specific Cerave Moisturizing Lotion lives next to my bed and is the best affordable drugstore moisturizer for the winter time or for dry skin. This girl is THIIICCCC and you will wake up with that moisture locked in. 

It's too heavy for me during the day, and I love it for night-time use.

SPF

This is my absolute hands-down favorite SPF for dry and sensitive skin. It is a mineral sunscreen that has a thick consistency and leaves your skin very glowy. It does have a bit of a white cast, so I don't recommend this for people with darker skin ... 

If it's safe for babies, it's safe for me!

My favorite sunscreen-makeup 3 in 1 product! This is a mineral sunscreen, which I love for my sensitive skin. This sunscreen is very lightly tinted with a yellow base so that there is no white cast apparent. It leaves a very slightly dewy finish whic...
