🧼 Cleansers & Balms
My forever gentle cleanser. I keep this around for when my skin’s feeling a little irritated or sensitive. It's creamy and calming, no fragrance, just solid.

I finally gave in and tried this cult classic—and now I get it. It melts off sunscreen and makeup like magic. No residue, no breakouts, just clean, soft skin.

Bought this on a whim and ended up loving how balanced it leaves my skin. It’s gel-based but still hydrating, and it’s been perfect for my morning cleanse—fresh, never tight.
Niacinamide Cleanser - Naturium
💧 Toners & Essences
Feels like water, but better. My skin drinks this up, and it’s been so soothing for the random redness I get around my cheeks.
Madagascar Centella Ampoule | Skin Care - SKIN1004
I use this when my skin’s dehydrated but I still want something lightweight. It's gentle and works really well layered under thicker serums.

If hyaluronic acid isn't cutting it, try this. It locks in moisture way better and keeps my skin plump, especially under makeup.

A staple for a reason. If I skip this for a few days, I notice my pores look more congested. It’s my once-a-week deep clean

Light, fun to apply, and just enough hydration for daytime. It makes my skin feel bouncy without ever being greasy.

I use this at night when my skin is irritated or overdone from actives. It’s thick but healing, like a cozy blanket for your face.
Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream - Avene
The tiniest amount calms redness and burning from over-exfoliation. I don’t use it daily, but I’m always glad to have it around.
Midnight Blue Calming Cream(60ml) - Dear, Klairs
👀 Eye Care
Sinks in easily, doesn’t sting, and my under-eyes genuinely look smoother. It’s made me excited about eye cream again.

A quick 10‑minute pick‑me‑up that leaves my skin ridiculously soft.
COSRX Snail Mucin Sheet Mask 10 EA
Hydration + repair in one sheet—my post‑acne scars have been chilling out.
