Cleansing
My nighttime routine always include two-step cleansing approach. In the morning I go either with just water or with foaming cleanser.
Nice choice as second step in my cleansing routine. Gentle and it doesn't strip my skin afterwards. It has typical Elemis luxury scent (which I really like, but might worth mentioning for those who avoid scents in skincare). I use one pump per cleans...
ELEMIS | Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Wash
I like when brands have travel/sample size to buy before committing to full size products. Bought this in mini size and after trying out couple of different ones I settled for this full size cleansing oil. Great first cleansing step, takes off impuri...
Anua | Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil
This has helped me with my pores and it's visible from first use. Those annoying small black around my nose - gone. I try not to overuse it since it dries me out a bit (think this would be lovely for oily skin), so once in a week works perfection for...
Arencia | Fresh Green Rice Mochi Cleanser
Exfoliate & target
Fighting pigmentations, radience and fine lines
My skin loves it and I started to get these question “have you change something on your face?”. I like to layer it with sandwich method. First some milky toner (or their Liquid Peptides Advanced MP), then this retinal, and finally some good moisturiz...
Medik8 | Crystal Retinal 6
Visible effect overnight for real. Skin is glowy in the morning after just one use, but use it 3-4 times per week max (especially if you have oily skin). And of course start with 1-2x/week and slowly upgrade. It does have this tingling sensation when...
Alpha-H | Liquid Gold - Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Treatment
I got this as a birthday present and it has become my daily essential product. I use it in the morning before my target serum or spf. It's really gentle and I love how hygienic packaging is.
Medik8 | Press & Glow® - Daily Exfoliating PHA Toner
I switch between this and Medik8 Press&Glow toner. If I feel super lazy or in a hurry I grab these over Medik8 one, but again the effect is similar. I like how gentle these are and they can be use daily with no issues. They are soaked nicely so w...
ELEMIS | Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads - Exfoliating Pads
I heard great things about this serum. Still haven't finish it so cannot say if it works or not. But the frangrance is strooong...I don't mind it, but it's strong. If I notice changes around my discolorations I'll continue using it only on those bits...
Eucerin | Radiant Tone Dark Spot Corrector Serum
My first bottle but not the last. This has some nice lightweight texture and it's packed with a lot of things.
Medik8 | Liquid Peptides Advanced MP Face Serum
I can see why these get so much rave. I've been using the extra strength ones (since I'm not new to exfoliation), but they come in three different options for strengths. They didn't cause any issues and/or reaction besides a little tingling for my sk...
Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare | Alpha Beta® Extra Strength Daily Peel
Moisturizers
Hydration and barrier repair
I use this one before retinal since I just want nice thin layer of hydration and this one works. Also can be used before makeup to prepare skin a bit but not to mess up the foundation look and feel overall.
TIRTIR | Milk Skin Toner
Currently switching between this one and Atobarrier365 and I like this one slightly more. Think it's richer then the other one but not heavy. The only thing I don't preffer is the fragrance but I don't mind it since it's great product otherwise.
Centellian24 | Madeca Cream Time Reverse
OK this is the most basic product that I use that fits easily into my routine. I grab this one whenever I feel I either interrupted my skin and/or over my retinal layer. It doesn't have fragrance, it's not heavy and it saves my barrier.
AESTURA | Atobarrier 365 Cream
This step is purely because I'm sucker for mists and I think it's nice additional layer to hydration. The mist is suuuper fine, not sticky and it just gives me luxury experience whenever I use it. Again, I layer this one after milky toner (just befor...
