Saved $85: Stocking Up on My Oily-Dehydrated Skin Favorites at YesStyle

Purple Star emoji 15 items
Ran out of my Soon Jung barrier cream and Laniege lip mask, so I went to reorder on yes style. Turned out some of my favorite items were on sale too, and stocking up meant free shipping anyway. So that's exactly what I did today. Same products I use ...

Cleanse

My nightly double cleanse. Balm first to melt off sunscreen and makeup, then this gel cleanser right after. Both stay in rotation because my skin never feels tight, even though it's dehydrated, and both are discounted right now so I'm grabbing backup...19.76. Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Cleanser is down by 31% off, at $13.52.

I use this every night as the first step of my cleanse. It melts off makeup and sunscreen fast, and I haven't switched to another balm in 5 years, which says a lot given how often I try new products. It's 22% off right now, so I'm stocking up before ...
Beauty of Joseon Radiance Cleansing Balm NEW
 
Samar Ikram profile picture
This is my second cleansing step, right after the Radiance Balm. I use it every night to rinse off whatever the balm leaves behind. It has a light scent that isn't too strong, and my skin doesn't feel tight after, which matters since it's dehydrated....
Beauty of Joseon - Green Plum Refreshing Cleanser

Wash

The face wash I reach for outside the double cleanse, since I use it more than once a day. One pump makes more foam than I expect, and it's outlasted every other wash I've bought this year. It's 23% off, so I'm ordering ahead. I'm saving more than 4 ...

I started this two months ago, using it 3 to 4 times a day, and the tube is still only about half empty. One small pump makes more foam than I expect, which is why it's outlasted every other face wash I've bought this year. It's 23% off, so I'm order...
ROUND LAB - 1025 Dokdo Cleanser

Hydrate

Two mists I switch between depending on how my skin feels that day. Neither is just water, and neither leaves a sticky layer behind. Both are discounted right now, so I'm restocking both instead of just one. Dear, Klairs Fundamental Ampule Mist is no...

 
Samar Ikram profile picture
I like that it's not just water. I spray it after cleansing and then again during the day whenever my skin feels dry. Even in hot summer it doesn't make my oily skin look shiny or greasy, which is why I keep buying it. It's 30% off right now, so I'm ...
Dear, Klairs Fundamental Ampule Mist
 
Samar Ikram profile picture
This one sits right in the middle, not too heavy and not too light, which is what I need on days my skin feels dehydrated but still oily. I use it as a light layer under my moisturizer, and it doesn't leave a sticky feeling once it dries down. At 25%...

Tone-Up

The toners in rotation for brightening and evening out my tone. I switch between them depending on what my skin needs that week. Two of the three are solidly discounted, so I'm stocking up while I can. SOME BY MI Yuja Niacin 30 Days Miracle Brighteni...

 
Samar Ikram profile picture
My skin looks brighter after I use this, and it just looks more put together overall, even without makeup. I use it after cleansing, before my other toners or serums, and it soaks in fast enough that I can move to the next step right away. It's 29% o...
SOME BY MI - Yuja Niacin 30 Days Miracle Brightening Toner
 
Samar Ikram profile picture
This is very hydrating without feeling heavy on my skin, and I don't need much of it, just a couple of pats is enough. I use it after cleansing, and since it's fragrance free, it doesn't sting or bother my skin the way scented toners do. At 26% off, ...
haruharu wonder - Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner Fragrance Free
 
Samar Ikram profile picture
This is my most recent find, and I alternate it with my Yuja Niacin toner. It's thicker than most toners but still soaks in fast, and my skin has looked more even the past 2 weeks. The discount here is small, just under 5% off, but I'll use it either...
Anua - Peach 77 Niacin Essence Toner

Improve

Two things that actually treat a specific problem instead of just maintaining. One for pores and texture, one for when a breakout shows up. Both are on sale, so I'm restocking before I run out of either. Another $5.10 saved :)

 
Samar Ikram profile picture
This is my morning serum, and I use it to help with pores and keep my skin looking tight. I'm on my 10th bottle at this point, so it's a permanent step in my routine that I don't skip, no matter how rushed my morning is. It's 19% off, so bottle 11 is...
The Ordinary - Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum
 
Samar Ikram profile picture
I keep a sheet of these in my bag and another by my mirror since breakouts never wait for a convenient time. I press one on before bed and it's flattened out by morning, without the picking that leaves a mark. At 24% off, I'm stocking up so I'm never...
COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patch Set 5 pcs

Sunscreen

My daily sunscreen, the one step I never skip. I keep backups so I'm never caught without it, and at 20% off, this is exactly when I stock up.

 
Samar Ikram profile picture
I'm on my third tube of this, and I keep a backup packed in my drawer at all times. It's watery, not thick like a lot of sunscreens, and I don't get any grease on my face after I put it on, even a few hours later on a hot day. It's 20% off, so I'm bu...
Kao - Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence Sunscreen SPF 50+ PA++++

Anti-Age

My retinol step. The one product here I eased into slowly instead of rushing. The discount is small, under 5%, but I'm restocking anyway since I use it regardless. It works great for my eye area.

 
Samar Ikram profile picture
I started with this about 2 years ago to get my skin ready for stronger tretinoin later on. It's a good first step if you're new to retinol, since it's gentler, and starting light let my skin get used to it before I moved up. The discount is small, u...
The Ordinary - Retinol 1% In Squalane Serum

Extra protection

What I lean on during tret weeks, to keep my skin calm while it adjusts. It's 34% off right now, the best deal in this whole list, so I'm buying more than one.
 
Samar Ikram profile picture
This absorbs really fast, so it never feels like an extra step. I apply it twice a day on weeks when I'm using tret regularly, since it helps stop my skin from getting damaged or irritated while it adjusts to the tret. At 34% off, it's the best deal ...
ROVECTIN - Calming Sensitive Lotus Cream

Face Mask

My daily mask, not an occasional treat. I put it on after my shower and leave it on while I nap. It's 29% off, so I'm buying the pack now instead of waiting.

 
Samar Ikram profile picture
I put this on right after my shower and leave it on while I nap, so it's a daily step for me, not a once in a while mask. Using a sheet mask this often instead of just serum is just easier, since it's one layer I can leave on and forget. It's 29% off...

Lip Care

The last step before bed, after everything else. My lips aren't flaky anymore even in dry weather. At 32% off, this was the easiest add to this order.
 
Samar Ikram profile picture
This is the last step before bed, on top of everything else. A thick layer overnight and my lips aren't flaky by morning, even with the dry weather lately. It's 32% off right now, so I'm grabbing a backup jar before it sells out.
