This was SUCH an easy skincare set to love! ✨ Everything felt lightweight, smelled amazing, and I loved that the routine included ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid. You get a cleanser, toner, serum, eye cream, and lotion, s...
LAIKOU Skin Care Set JAPAN SAKURA Women Beauty ...
I feel like this skincare brand is a GAME CHANGER for oily skin and anyone who struggles with visible pores, excess sebum, and blackheads — which is something I especially notice around my nose! ✨ The products are definitely a little more on the pric...
Effaclar Skincare for Acne and Oily Skin
Eye Cream
You really can’t go wrong with this eye cream! ✨ It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, feels hydrating, and is super affordable. I keep reaching for this one during my daytime skincare routine because it layers so easily without feeling heavy. I also lo...

If puffy, tired-looking under-eyes or dark circles are a concern, this is a great affordable addition to your nighttime routine! ✨ It contains retinal, which is also why I love working it into my anti-aging routine. It goes on super smoothly, and I d...

Love this eye cream! The new version has a built in eye roller and it is so lightweight and hydrating! Reminds me of Neutrogenas hydro boost and it is definitely worth a buy especially for the cheap price.
Laikou Japan Sakura Eye Cream Firming
Sunscreen (SPF)
LOVE this sunscreen! ☀️ I’m super picky about face sunscreen because I hate that heavy sunscreen smell or greasy feeling, but this one goes on so smoothly, feels lightweight, and dries down beautifully without leaving a white cast. I let it fully dry...
SOL LABS Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 Face & Body
I’ve always been a Neutrogena fan when it comes to affordable skincare and sunscreen! ☀️ It’s a brand that’s been recommended to me by my doctor, and for me, it simply gets the job done. This one works well for my skin, although it does have a little...
Okay I lied, this is also one of my favorite sunscreens as well! It has a higher SPF than 30 and it literally goes on so effortlessly, lightweight and absolutely no cast. Anua really does it all.

Serums
I wanted a lightweight serum that didn’t leave my skin feeling sticky, and I’m SO stoked I found this one — especially at such an affordable price! ✨ It packs a lot into one serum with GHK-Cu (copper peptides), vitamin C + B5, PDRN, niacinamide, and ...
Clean+Kind GHK-Cu + PDRN Serum
Azelaic acid is great for those with redness and I felt like it really calmed by redness down a lot where I don't even need to wear a green cream anymore before my foundation to cancel out the red! I like Paulas choice because its a cream instead of ...
Paula's Choice BOOST 10% Azelaic Acid Cream
Anua is another great brand for azelaic acid and is talked a lot about by dermatologist. If your looking for a little bit more of an affordable option and more of a serum based, I would shop here! Azelaic acid helps with redness and acne.

Moisturizers & Lotions
e.l.f.’s Holy Hydration line really reminds me of Neutrogena’s Hydro Boost line, so when I’m looking to save a little money, this is the moisturizer I grab! 💦 It’s a great everyday face moisturizer, and a little goes a LONG way. It feels lightweight...
Holy Hydration! Daily Face Moisturizer
Honestly, Korean skincare always catches my eye! ✨ I really like this ginseng + retinol formula when I want something extra rich and hydrating in my nighttime routine. It’s a little too heavy for my face, so I personally save it for my neck, chest, a...
PRETTYSKIN Ginseng Extract & Retinol Multi Cream
Can’t really go wrong with a local brand body lotion. If you are looking for all the island scents and want to support local, you have to grab UA because they just smell amazing! My personal fave is the lilikoi coconut or the gardenia body lotion 🌺....
Hawaiian Body Lotions | Botanical Lotions from Hawaiʻi
Love this body butter from Trader Joes! It smells amazing, it's thick and it makes me feel so moisturized all over! I save it for my body, especially around my legs and back. We don't have a Trader Joes in Hawaii so getting it online is your best bet...
Trader Joe's Brazil Nut Body Butter w/ Acai
I always run back to this face moisturizer, it is lighter than ELFS holy hydration and I feel like Neutrogena just really nailed this formula. Its lightweight, water-like gel instantly nourishes and soothes my skin. Its gently for all skin types, eve...
Hydro Boost Water Gel & Oil-Free Face Moisturizer
For the price, this is hands down one of my favorite retinal products! ✨ I originally heard about it from a dermatologist, who recommended several retinal and retinol brands for anti-aging. After comparing the prices and what you’re getting, this one...
Retinal 0.2% Emulsion: Reduce Dark Spots
I was really excited to try this because I needed some sort of lip treatment for my dried lips. Lip Balm did not work for me and I felt like it dried out my lips even more. So I turned to a serum and found this! I felt like it healed my dry lips fast...
Anua PDRN Lip Serum, 0.33 fl.oz
I got a taste of this when I got the mini set and again I really loved this too! Anything lightweight goes so well with my skin and it reminds me a lot of the hydro boost but this seems to have a slight better fragrance since the hydro boost doesn't ...
AKARY Sakura Essence Cream Facial Moisturizer
I really did like this multi cream since it was a toner, cream and moisturizer all in one but it was too heavy for my face so I used it on my chest and arms!
PRETTYSKIN Rice Amino Acid Moisturizing Cream
Face Masks
This really is SUCH a good face mask! 🧖♀️✨ If my skin needs a deeper pore-cleansing moment, this is one I reach for — and the price for how much product you get is honestly crazy but you need to grab it at a discounted store like Ross, Tj Maxx and ...
Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay 16 Oz
When my skin just needs some hydration and a cooling refresh, this does the trick! 💦✨ It’s a Korean skincare find, so of course it caught my attention. It’s a little pricier at around $18 for almost 4 oz, but if you can find it at a discount store, ...
Chill Mo-Mint Cooling & Soothing Mask
This was a totally random discount-store find, but if you spot it for a good price, it’s definitely worth grabbing! ✨ It normally runs around $20 for just under 5 oz., but I was lucky enough to find it for less. It’s a Korean wash-off clay mask that ...
Red Bean Refreshing Pore Mask
I’m so glad I found this! 🤍 I use it about once a month as an overnight face mask, but I especially reach for it when I’ve gotten a little too much sun from surfing or being at the beach. It’s great for when my skin is feeling dry, peeling, or just ...
Avene Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream
Cleansers
I feel like you really can’t go wrong with this cleanser! ✨ It’s affordable, easy to find at drugstores and discount stores, and does exactly what I need for a simple, refreshing cleanse. If I am not using my La Roshe Posay pore cleansing cleanser, t...
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Cleansing Gel
I never knew I needed this. I was just washing my face with gentle cleansers all this time, not knowing there was something out there that can minimize and clean out pores. I wouldn't say I have “acne” but i do break out from time to time and have al...
Effaclar Medicated Gel Cleanser Acne Face Wash
Toners
I needed a toner that wasn't heavy and I looked up if rhodes milky toner would work for my skin and it said it was too heavy so it suggested this brand and so far I've been really liking it! It is refreshing and doesn't make me feel heavy. I know its...
