Other important add-ons!
Step 1 - Cleanser
A super gentle cleanser that helps remove makeup and supports skin moisture. Don’t be alarmed that it doesn’t really lather! It feels more like a moisturizer that you rinse off afterwards.
Remove Makeup & Refresh Skin with Glycolipid Cream Cleanser - $12.50
If you’d rather a foaming cleanser, this is a great option. However just keep in mind that this one isn’t a makeup remover so you’d want to add that to your skincare regimen!
Glucoside Foaming Cleanser - $12.50
Step 2 - Toner
This toner helps exfoliate your skin (think winter dryness and flakiness and say buh-bye), as well as evens your skin tone (again helps with the acne scarring, bumps, etc.)
Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner - $8/$13
For a gentler option, use the milky toner! It sounds weird but it truly does give your skin a hydration boost. My skin doesn’t feel sucked of all its moisture after using this like some other toners!
Saccharomyces Ferment 30% Milky Toner - $14
Step 3 - Serums
I have very blemish-prone skin. Especially from hormonal acne on my chin. Niacinamide has helped reduce my redness, smooth out my uneven skin, and brighten my complexion. It’s a MUST 👏🏼 HAVE 👏🏼
Niacinamide - $6/$10.80
Improves skin elasticity and improves smoothness of skin. It’s perfect for those of us in our 30s for preventative maintenance!
Multi-Peptide + HA Serum - $19.90/$33.80
I have problems with visible pores and this serum has noticeably improved the appearance of my pores. I’m not necessarily oily but I can be after a long day and it has been so much better since using this consistently!
Balancing & Clarifying Serum - $19.90
Okay so I typically like eye CREAMS but I also have sensitive skin and no matter what I do, I always get some sort of little white nodules with the best of creams. This serum is so lightweight and I haven’t had any problems with sensitivity!
Multi-Peptide Eye Serum - $25
Step 4 - Retinol!!
Retinol is an important part of skincare **IN MODERATION**. It helps with accelerating skin cell turnover, boosting collagen, and unclogging pores, which helps reduce wrinkles, fine lines, acne, dark spots, and improves overall texture, revealing smo...
Retinol 0.5% in Squalane - $8.60
Moisturizer
This is the PERFECT light moisturizer that’s actually designed to mimic the composition of your skin’s natural hydration. It doesn’t leave a greasy layer and is the finishing touch on the best skincare regimen. It will leave you with a beautiful glow...
Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA - $6.70/$14
Another moisturizer option! The phytoceramides help with skin quality and gives you a little plumping action!
Natural Moisturizing Factors + PhytoCeramides - $10.80
Other important add-ons!
I get such dry skin in the winter and this baby helps with that. It’s called a peeling solution but it’s not like a peel in the traditional sense. It’s simply a serum you rub on your face (fair warning it is red and it tints your skin red..so don’t p...
AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution - $9.50
The holy grail of reducing redness and shrinking pimples. It’s a must for us acne prone ladies! It’s even worked on my hormonal acne!
