FACE MASKS
CLEANSERS
oil cleansers, and cleansing foams/face washes
I like this one, it didn't break me out, but I would do research on it based on your skin type
Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil | Anua US
my absolute favorite oil cleanser hands down, the formula is really nice and it clears the hell out of my pores.
SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Cleansing Oil 200ml
i feel that this one paired with the skin1004 oil cleanser actually help to minimize the appearance of pores.
SKIN1004 Poremizing Deep Cleansing Foam 125ml
i like this one, it's best for oily skin as it is supposedly very drying, but I just pair it with a good hyaluronic acid serum/toner
Shiseido Senka Perfect Whip Cleansing Foam 120g
works well, not anything too special, but works for a simple skincare routine.
Effaclar Gel Facial Wash for Oily Skin - La Roche-Posay
SERUMS/AMPOULES
works for calming the skin, pairs well with other skincare from this line
SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule Serum
with the cleanser and cream, i find that they all work really well together in order to minimize the appearance of pores
Anyone tried the SKIN1004 Poremizing Fresh ampoule? Thoughts?
works well on it's own, but also well with the matching toner.
SKIN1004 Tone Balancing Capsule Ampoule
while it didn't physically pull blackheads out of my pores (like the tiktok shop ads imply), it does clear the pores in a similar way that an oil cleanser would. good for when your pores are clogged but you're feeling lazy in the moment.
Dr.Melaxin Peel Shot Black Rice Exfoliating Ampoule
MOISTURIZERS/CREAMS
really thick and good for dry winter months, but I heard it isn't acne safe
Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Concentrate Cream Moisturizer
i like to use it when i use the rest of the line, but i don't know if it makes a difference. it does have brightening capsules in it though.
SKIN1004 Tone Balancing Capsule Cream
i like it, it's gel so it's cooling, and it feels nice. i think it works with the matching cleanser and ampoule as well.
SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Poremizing Gel
TONERS
they're good for morning skincare routines, they're really thick and work well.
SKINFOOD Carrot Carotene Hydrating Toner Pads
i personally use the blue one, but i heard the gold one is stronger. it's honestly one of the most moisturizing toners I've ever used.
Hada-Labo Gokujyun toner
the toner specifically from this line quite literally erased this large and nasty acne scar i had on my cheek. it disappeared within two weeks of using this toner. highly recommend .
Some By Mi AHA/BHA/PHA 30 days miracle line
it works with the rest of the line. if you want the whole line, I recommend, but also i think the cleanser and ampoule do the job
SKIN1004 Poremizing Clear Toner 210ml
SUNSCREEN
i like the spf 36 one because it doesn't leave a white cast, nor does it leave me feeling greasy. i haven't tried the spf 50, but i have high hopes for it
Daily UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 50+ - Innisfree
i like this for on the go when i either forget suncreen or need to reapply. there is absolutely zero white cast, and it leaves me looking glowy.
Abib Quick Sunstick SPF50+ Broad Spectrum
this one is soooo good. if i were going to recommend any sunscreen first, it would be this one
SKIN1004 Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum
FACE MASKS
when i wear this to bed, when i wake up my skin is the glowiest it's ever been. it's a little annoying to have to wear for hours, but the result are worth it.
BIODANCE Bio-Collagen Real Deep Hydrating Mask
very convenient to use, and it works pretty well.
SKIN1004 Poremizing Quick Clay Stick Mask
i think i like this one better than the skin1004 one, i think it works better in clearing pores.
SKINTIFIC Deep Pore Cleansing Blackhead Mask
