Hydrators and Moisturizers
Since I have combination and dehydrated skin I go for water based or gel based moisturizers
A fungal acne safe, lightweight hydrator for under $30 is a steal! It smells great without being overpowering and pairs well with makeup!
Jeju Cherry Blossom Glow Jelly Cream
One of the best moisturizers I've used, the price is worth it and a little goes a long way. Try a travel or mini size and please try it!
Calm Water Gel Moisturizer - Dermalogica | Ulta Beauty
Solid hydrator but it needs a hydrating serum underneath. Has a lot of fragrance so I don't use this anymore because it broke me out. My skin can take some fragrance but not a lot.
Hello Kitty Klean Beauty Pink Water Crème - The Crème Shop | Ulta Beauty
Lightweight, absorbs fast with a cooling sensation!
Beplain, Cicaful Calming Gel, 2.7 fl oz (80 ml)
Sunscreen
I aim for hybrid formulas so a mix of chemical and mineral, I find that chemical sunscreens leave my skin very greasy and mineral has been the best for me
Does give a slight white cast but I mix a bit of toner with it to help with that. Daily SPF is mandatory.
Banana Boat Baby Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50, 100% Mineral Sunscreen, Baby Sunblock, 6 fl oz
It's a little greasy but not a lot. For the price point you can't beat it and would be great for someone with more dry skin than combo.
Trader Joe's Face & Body Sunscreen SPF 30 6oz
Serum's,Toner's, Essence's, etc.
These are great for layering extra hydration if your moisturizer or cream isn't doing it throughout the day, I try to do at least three layers under my moisturizer
Actually found this at Marshalls before! Sadly alot of Asian beauty is high in actives/concentrated so this did break me out but it might not for some people, just depends from person to person.
Madagascar Centella Ampoule - SKIN1004
A lightweight serum that improves your skin's tone and texture overtime.
Brightening And Plumping Skin Serum - BLK/OPL
Gently brightens and promotes a healthy, youthful complexion without irritation. This lightweight, water-based formula that can be used under makeup too!
Daily Brightening Face Serum - 1 fl oz
non-tacky and fast-absorbing serum
Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Face Serum - INKEY | Ulta Beauty
Brightens, firms, hydrates, and calms irritation like no other!
1.35 oz Glass Skin Refining Serum - PEACH & LILY
Refreshing, fast-absorbing formula that deeply hydrates, soothes, and replenishes moisture.
I'm From Mugwort Essence Vegan Toner 5.4oz
Great for brightening and helping with discoloration! I mix this with my hyaluronic acid serum and have never had irritation from it!
The Ordinary 100% L-Ascorbic Acid Powder
Simple and doesn't irritate my skin, I can't use it often do to the high amount of extracts so I actually use this on my body and it does better than my face. Sadly a lot of Asian skin care is high in extracts, actives and fragrances so even though t...
Abib Heartleaf Calming Toner 7.1 fl oz
The bottle is a bit annoying but I love the formula! Makes the skin plump and bouncy!
Sakura Hyaluronic Acid Boosting Essence - Good Molecules | Ulta Beauty
Cleansers
I am a strong believer of the double cleanse method, You don't always have to use micellar water you could use the same cleanser twice!
Only the pink one is fungal acne safe. I also use this to double cleanse instead of a oil cleanser.
Garnier Micellar Water Hydrating Cleanser
Great for travel and foams up nicely! I was shocked by how much I like this formula and how refreshed my skin felt.
Olay Vitamin C Cleansing Melts, Foaming Face Wash for All Skin Types, 12 Ct
The best micelluar water I've tried to date! Worth every drop.
8.4 oz Sensibio H2O Micellar Water Face Cleanser for Sensitive Skin - Bioderma
My favorite cleanser! It's costly but worth it Usually three pumps is enough for my whole face and Foam cleansers are best for combo skin and are hard to find!
Sebamed Clear Face Cleansing Foam 5.07oz x2
Love how silky this feels on the skin and gives a great glow!
SKIN1004, Madagascar Centella, Tone Brightening Cleansing Gel Foam, 4.22 fl oz (125 ml)
Masks
Love a good sheet, clay or firming masks :) I aim to do 2 a week for the best results.
I mix mine with water, some people use for ACV for really oily skin types.
Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay 1 lb
Use as a face mask for 10 to 15 minutes when you have a fungal outbreak and it will take it out overnight! You can also use it for flakes in your hair! I only need to use this about once every two to three weeks
Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo with 1% Ketoconazole, Fresh Scent, 7 fl oz
Tools/Gadgets
The best tweezers I've found in the drugstore! I've had my pair for at least three years and you can sharpen them using a nail file.
Revlon Expert Slanted Tweezer, Made with Stainless Steel, 1 Count
Exfoliants
Good for textured skin, avoid using on active inflamed acne and use a spf after applying!
Overnight Exfoliating Treatment - Good Molecules | Ulta Beauty
I can use this daily with no irritation! Great for rough patches like KP!
