cleansers + exfoliants i love or am testing!
one of my holy grail morning cleansers i've been using since 2020! It's very lightweight.
It's slightly cheaper on Amazon as well but if you're an Ulta girlie like myself, the $3 difference is worth it.

Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser - COSRX | Ulta Beauty
Korean Foam Cleanser! I got this as a gift but I love this cleanser. It's another cleanser that doesn't feel too harsh on my face.
I know I personally wouldn't have known about this brand or tried it without my aunt, s/o to her!

Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Foam - Korean Face Wash
Tiktok Shop Fave!
not my favorite, you love it or you don't. I think it works alright or maybe it's not compatible with my skin but i've heard SO many good reviews, I thought i'd leave this option here.

Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil 200ml
I am LOYAL to this exfoliant. (since 2017) this product makes me excited to exfoliate to see all the dead skin.
it will work. follow instructions! after you cleanse,
1. dry your face AND hands
2. use 1-2 pumps, create a thin layer across your face
3. wait 15 seconds and then lightly scrub
**be sure not to become too obsessed, over exfoliating is a thing. I use once a week.

(sometimes i don't get it tbh or my skin changes drastically)
if you're unsure about Sulwhasoo (which I understand) and it's on the slightly more expensive side, here's a trial kit on Amazon I recommend!

one of my skincare starter kit serums.
this is currently not in my rotation as i'm trying out other serums but a personal fave. (2020-2024)
skincare doesn't have to always be expensive!
