Cleansers

Favorites

*Farmacy Green Clean makeup meltaway cleansing balm (1.7 oz; 3.4 oz; 6.8 oz): nice, light, clean scent; completely removes makeup, moisturizing; nonirritating; Allure Best of Beauty 2017 Award winner; highly recommend.

*First Aid Beauty Pure Skin Face Cleanser (mini size; standard size): clean scent; clean beauty product; feels silky smooth and moisturizing while massaging onto skin; nonirritating but occasionally isn’t moisturizing enough when my skin is dry (I will add a moisturizing serum in this case); I use it at night and skin looks clearer in the AM. Gets rid of all makeup. Price midrange. Mini great for travel. Highly recommend.

*fresh Soy Face Cleanser (nordstrom.com): gentle, non-irritating gel cleanser; fragrance free; price midrange

*Mario Badescu Gentle Foaming Cleanser (sephora.com): essentially fragrance free; clear gel consistency. Lather isn’t as robust as others but it foams easily & it’s enough to get the job done. Gets rid of makeup well. Has “squeaky clean” feeling after rinsing off, which usually means it’ll be drying, but this one isn’t. It’s also not so heavily moisturizing that it clogs pores. If anything, pores looked clearer. It’s my new go-to night cleanser. Great price at $14. Highly recommend.

*Clarins Hydrating Gentle Foaming Cleanser (2.6 oz)

Others I’ve tried

*Darphin Cleansing Foam Gel with Water Lily Cleanser (bluemercury.com): love the packaging and smell; unfortunately it irritated my sensitive skin (likely from the fragrance) and not the most moisturizing cleanser. It gets great reviews and recommendations though, so could be worth trying out for yourself if you don’t have sensitive/dry skin.

*fresh Soy Face Cleansing Milk (sephora.com): I use this gentle and moisturizing cleanser in the AM; light, barely there scent; price midrange. Unfortunately it’s been discontinued.

*fresh Sugar Strawberry Exfoliating Face Wash (mini size; standard size; value size): nice smell, not too sweet; gently exfoliates; skin felt smoother, although no significant difference in appearance of skin; like most sugar-based scrubs it’s sticky before adding water; mid-higher price range

*Garnier SkinActive Pore Purifying 2-in-1 Clay Cleanser/Mask (amazon.com): I’ve been using this clay cleanser every morning for over a decade. It’s moisturizing and gently cleanses skin, which I like for the AM since I don’t need it to wash off any makeup. I use it occasionally as a mask, and skin looks radiant after. It’s marketed for men on Amazon, but I don’t know that the SkinActive line was created specifically for men. Good price point at under $15. A little goes a long way & it lasts forever. Unfortunately it’s been discontinued.

*it Cosmetics Confidence in a Cleanser (itcosmetics.com): gentle serum with a light, fresh scent; removes all makeup; really hydrating, but clogged pores.

*Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Cleanser Daily Foaming Wash (mini size; standard size): nice subtle fresh scent; gentle – barely feel any grit; lathers well; skin felt instantly smoother, although appearance didn’t look that much different and it slightly irritated my sensitive skin; a little goes a long way – low/midrange price point. Recommend if your skin isn’t too sensitive.

*Origins Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash (origins.com): a little goes a long way & it lathers really well; subtle soapy scent; skin felt literally “squeaky” clean after using – it really washed off all makeup & impurities. It didn’t irritate my skin but also didn’t make it look amazing either – I need cleansers that are more moisturizing. Price midrange.

*Sephora Collection Clean Skin Gel – Cleanse + Tone (sephora.com): good lather; skin texture looked smoother, pores seemed less noticeable, and skin overall had a glow after using; subtle clean fragrance; clean beauty product; budget friendly at $10; doesn’t completely get rid of all makeup and not as moisturizing as I would have expected, skin felt almost dry/tight after using.

*Tatcha The Deep Cleanse Exfoliating Cleanser (standard size, $38; mini size, $16): hydrating, gently exfoliating, Allure Best of Beauty 2019 Award winner. Used to use it every night no problem but now that I’ve starting using more treatments such as glycolic acid it’s become more irritating.

Exfoliators

Favorites

*Origins Modern Friction (1.7 oz; 4.2 oz): I’ve been using this product once a week for years. Skin looks and feels noticeably smoother and more radiant after using. Clean scent. Clean beauty product. Price is reasonable – little goes a long way. When rinsing off, just be careful around your eyes, because it can sting a little. My favorite, go-to exfoliator – highly recommend.

Others I’ve tried

*Lancer Skincare The Method: Polish Normal-Combination Skin (4.2 oz; 8 oz): I used this first step in the Lancer Method, followed by Farmacy Green Clean meltway cleansing balm (see above). Love the packaging and relaxing lavender scent, but the enzyme/mineral exfoliant felt kind of rough on my skin (although it didn’t make it red or irritated). My skin felt noticeably smoother, but also drier. High end price.

Facial Peels

Others

*Peter Thomas Roth FIRMx Peeling Gel (mini size; standard size; value size): gentle peeling gel that will give you the gross satisfaction of impurities literally rolling off your skin. Skin feels and looks smoother. No smell. Recommended to me by multiple people, so definitely worth trying yourself, however my skin looks and feels significantly more smooth and even after using Origins Modern Friction (see review above).

Treatments

Favorites

*it Cosmetics Hello Results Daily Retinol Serum-in-Cream (itcosmetics.com): skin looked & felt smoother after using this retinol serum; not overdrying or irritating; midrange price but a little goes a long way. If you want to use a retinol I highly recommend this product.

Others

*Sunday Riley Good Genes All-In-One Lactic Acid Treatment (standard size; value size): pros: skin feels soft/smooth after using (especially in combination with SkinMedica TNS Advanced Serum), can be used in pregnancy (unlike retinol); cons: weird smell, price. Lots of people LOVE this product so worth trying out for yourself

Serums/Oils

Favorites

*Chanel Hydra Beauty Micro Serum (1.0 oz; 1.7 oz): instantly hydrates and improves appearance of skin; pricey but results are worth it.

*Clarins Double Serum (clarinsusa.com): nice light, refreshing scent (probably from the ginger lily and other plant extracts); absorbs quickly; woke up with soft, smooth, hydrated skin.

*DERMA-E Ultra Hydrating Serum (amazon.com): lightweight but really moisturizing; light fresh scent; I apply at night before moisturizer & skin feels extra smooth & soft next morning. Great price under $30. Highly recommend.

*Dior Capture Totale C.E.L.L. ENERGY Super Potent Age-Defying Intense Serum (1.0 oz; 1.7 oz): I applied this serum at night after cleansing and before moisturizer; noticeably smoother and softer skin; barely noticeable, powdery scent is okay; price justified by its efficacy

*ROEN Elixir Restorative Face Oil (cult beauty.co.uk): my skin was GLOWING! So hydrating & perfect for creating a dewy makeup look. Higher end price but a little goes a long way.

Want to try

*Lawless Set the Stage Hydrating Priming Serum (sephora.com)

Others

*Chantecaille Blue Light Protection Hyaluronic Serum (bluemercury.com): applied this clear serum at night and woke up with soft, smooth skin. Unfortunately not hydrating enough for my dry skin and high price point at $150.

*Charlotte Tilbury Charlotte’s Magic Serum Crystal Elixir (standard size; mini size): skin felt smoother but more dry, which made wrinkles stand out more. High price tag. It got great reviews though so might be worth trying out yourself.

*Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum (1 oz; 1.7 oz): clear gel serum; no scent/fragrance; didn’t make a significant difference in texture or appearance of my skin; really expensive (although a little goes a long way); can irritate any dry or broken skin; wasn’t impressed but people with gorgeous skin like Annie Lawless like it so might be worth trying.

*Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex II (mini size; 1.0 oz): this serum has a more viscous consistency but absorbs well and doesn’t sit thickly on skin. No fragrance. Improved texture of skin but not hydrating enough for my dry skin.

*Farsali Rose Gold Elixir – 24K Gold Infused Beauty Oil (mini size; standard size): really moisturizing and gave skin a glow. Nice smell. I used it on top of my moisturizer and before foundation and it was little heavy/slightly irritating for my skin, so you could use it lieu of moisturizer. Depending on the formulation of the foundation I was using, it kind of broke it apart and the foundation canvas wasn’t as smooth when adding this oil.

*innisfree Green Tea Seed Intensive Hydrating Serum (sephora.com): light, clean scent; hydrated and smoothed skin, but not as well as this one; occasionally can be too heavy and cause minimal irritation; price midrange

*Kovo Essentials Face Serum (kovoessentials.com): contains CBD oil; really hydrating, but unfortunately slightly irritated my sensitive skin. Recommend if your skin isn’t as sensitive.

*SkinMedica TNS Advanced Serum (dermstore.com): beautiful, minimalist packaging. Easy to use pump – one pump combines two formulas. Improved texture and tightness of skin, but no significant difference in appearance of pores. Skin felt taught & dry when I woke up in the AM. My injector noticed a difference in the appearance of my skin though, so may be worth trying if you don’t have dry skin like me. Costs $250, but it lasts for a long time.

Moisturizers

Favorites

*Amorepacific The Essential Creme Fluid (sephora.com): light but very hydrating; absorbs quickly; doesn’t smell like anything; nonirritating; love their minimal aesthetic and packaging; pricey but totally worth it – I buy this moisturizer on repeat and use it daily AM & PM – highly recommend.

*GOOPGLOW Glow Lotion (sephora.com): really hydrates & improves appearance of skin; minimal natural scent; lightweight & nonirritating; takes a moment to fully absorb; doesn’t mess up makeup. Price midrange.

*Glow Recipe Watermelon Pink Juice Moisturizer (standard size; mini size): love the watermelon scent and minimal packaging aesthetic. I used this as serum (as recommended for dry skin) prior to Amorepacific The Essential Creme Fluid at night and woke up with smooth, glowing skin. Price midrange, but a little goes a long way.

*it Cosmetics Confidence in a Neck Cream (itcosmetics.com): has a citrus-y scent and orange-y hue (if it gets on clothes it will come off in the wash); I apply to neck/decollete/chest before bed – it absorbs quickly and then I use a roller in upwards motion; skin feels and looks more hydrated; few neck lines I’ve had most of my life were slightly less noticeable.

*Youth to the People Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Mask (sephora.com): really hydrating – my skin actually glows the next day and appears more smooth and even; light fresh scent; clean beauty product; allure best of beauty 2019 award winner; price midrange/reasonable. Highly recommend as a nightly moisturizer.

Others I’ve tried

*Amorepacific MOISTURE BOUND Rejuvenating Creme: really moisturizing without being too heavy – basically like a thicker The Essential Creme Fluid. No discernible smell. Plays well with makeup. I’d use this as my go-to every day moisturizer, but it’s been discontinued.

*Bioderma Sensibio Rich Soothing Cream (revolve.com): medium consistency, absorbs well/fast; skin feels smooth and hydrated long after using, however the actual appearance of my skin still looked dry. It hydrates superficially but didn’t moisturize deeper. Good price point at $20. Fragrance-free, non-irritating.

*Dermalogica BioLumin-C Vitamin-C Gel Moisturizer (sephora.com): subtle citrus scent. Gel consistency, slightly sticky(?) but absorbs quickly. Skin looks bright and radiance, feels soft/smooth, and pores look better, but not hydrating enough for my dry skin. Skin texture looked a little more bumpy despite feeling smooth. Really like it as a neck moisturizer though.

*Dermalogica Sound Sleep Cocoon Night Gel-Cream (sephora.com): goes on smooth, absorbs fast, but not hydrating enough for my dry skin; not significant enough difference in appearance of skin to justify price.

*Dior Capture Dreamskin Care & Perfect (1.6 oz; 1 oz): mildly irritated my face, but made my neck & décolleté soft and smooth; not crazy about the smell or the price

*Dr. Jart+ V7 Priming Moisturizer (sephora.com): absorbs well; perfect amount of hydration and really does blur skin imperfections (no need for primer after this moisturizer); has that Dr. Jart medicine-y smell and kind of pricey at $48, but worth it. Unfortunately it’s been discontinued.

*Farmacy Honey Halo Ultra-Hydrating Ceramide Moisturizer (sephora.com): subtle honey scent; thick but absorbs quickly; plays well with makeup; skin felt smooth & soft but hydration not long-lasting enough for my dry skin; moisturizes top layer but doesn’t penetrate to the deeper layers.

*First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair BarriAIR Cream (sephora.com): has a cool air-whipped consistency; absorbs quickly/easily; fragrance free, clean beauty; moderate price range; unfortunately not hydrating enough for my dry skin

*fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Moisturizer (0.5 oz; 1.6 oz): this lightweight, clean beauty moisturizer felt like instant relief to my skin. The smell makes you feel like you’re in a water garden. It gives skin a radiant glow and is really moisturizing, but so much so that it doesn’t play nice with foundation. For this reason and the higher price tag, it’s not my favorite. I would probably purchase the mini size and use it occasionally as an overnight mask though.

*fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Dream Face Cream (sephora.com): nice subtle smell; absorbs well; skin looked more radiant and felt smooth the next day; unfortunately not hydrating enough for my dry skin.

*Herbivore Pink Cloud Soft Moisture Cream (sephora.com): beautiful packaging; scent isn’t great but it’s subtle; absorbs well; skins feels really soft but not hydrating enough for my dry skin.

*it Cosmetics Confidence in a Cream (2.0 oz; travel size): too heavy for me – made my sensitive skin break out. Gets great reviews though so might be worth trying. A sample always comes with the it cosmetics Confidence in an Eye Cream I love, so I usually use it on my elbows/knees.

*Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Face Butter (sephora.com): really moisturizing but clogged pores.

*Kate Somerville Wrinkle Warrior 2-in-1 Plumping Moisturizer + Serum (sephora.com): after using at night, woke up with glowing skin, although it didn’t really make a significant difference in the appearance of any wrinkles. Definitely acts as a moisturizer + serum combo, minimizing a step in the skincare routine. When used in the AM, it goes well with foundation, even smoothes like a primer – my skin was glowing. It kind of stings any breaks in the skin (blemishes) so be careful. Kind of pricey at $98. Overall, I would use it as one of those moisturizer-as-primer combo, not so much for reducing appearance of wrinkles.

*Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream (sephora.com): fragrance free; thick consistency but absorbs quickly; really hydrates skin – skin felt hydrated the next day (really does last 24 hours); decreased the appearance of pores (probably because there wasn’t an increase in sebum production that can happen when skin is dry), but skin was slightly irritated and broke out (too heavy for my sensitive skin); plays well with makeup.

*Milk Makeup Vegan Milk Moisturizer (standard size; mini size): goes on thick but absorbs easily/quickly; skin felt smooth and soft but not hydrating enough for my dry skin; essentially fragrance free; no significant difference in skin texture; price reasonable (midrange).

*Naturally Serious Skin Warrior Anti-Pollution Repair Cream (revolve.com): medicine-y smell, takes a moment to fully absorb; first time I tried it I thought it was too heavy and made me break out, but I tried it again months later after SkinMedica TNS Advanced Serum and my skin felt and looked radiant.

*Origins Clear Improvement Pore Clearing Moisturizer with Bamboo Extract (origins.com): has a light spearmint scent from the spearmint oil in it; mattifies skin like a primer; unfortunately too drying for my dry skin, and didn’t make a significant change in the appearance of my pores; Women’s Health Healthy Skin Awards 2019 winner though; price midrange.

*Sephora Collection Super Matte Moisturizer (sephora.com): smoothed skin like a primer, but unfortunately not hydrating enough for my dry skin…if you have oily skin you could probably skip primer with this moisturizer. Clean beauty product & under $20.

*Youth to the People Adaptogen Deep Moisture Cream (sephora.com): decently moisturizing; fragrance free; clean beauty; goes on thick but eventually absorbs; not as moisturizing compared to my favorites described above; slightly irritating/worsened skin texture.

Masks

Favorites

*Farmacy Honey Potion Renewing Antioxidant Hydration Mask (1.7 oz; 4.1 oz): Warms and becomes a cream consistency when massaged onto the face; skin noticeably smoother and hydrated after using; barely noticeable, clean scent; clean beauty product; reasonable price, a little goes a long way.

*Masque Bar Silver Foil Sheet Mask (amazon.com): really hydrating & improved skin textured; under $5! Highly recommend. (not to be confused with their silver peel-off mask, which I didn’t like as much – see below)

Want to try

*Summer Fridays R + R Mask

Others

*Chantecaille Gold Recovery Mask (nordstrom.com): nice smell; mask shimmers; skin noticeably felt soft and looked nourished immediately after and the next AM; no significant difference in appearance of pores.

*Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask (mini size; standard size): love the watermelon scent and refreshing feel on skin, but didn’t make a significant enough difference in appearance of my skin, even slightly irritated it. It peels off skin overnight, so you need to wash it off in the AM (not ideal if you do things like go to the gym before showering in the AM). Better off using the Glow Recipe Watermelon Pink Juice Moisturizer imo.

*Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Clay Mask (stylekorean.com; similar at sephora.com): diminished appearance of pores and hydrated skin; cleared up my skin and improved texture. No scent. Great price point.

*Innisfree Pore Clearing Clay Mask 2X with Super Volcanic Clusters (sephora.com): skin felt smoother & more hydrated, but no significant difference in appearance of pores. Brought already existing blemishes to the surface. No scent. Great price point.

*Masque Bar Silver Foil Peel-Off Mask (amazon.com): really messy when applying; not as effective as their Silver Sheet Mask; under $5 (see above)

*Peter Thomas Roth 24K Gold Mask Pure Luxury Lift & Firm Mask (sephora.com): skin was glowing and look more smooth after using, but not hydrating enough for my dry skin; high end price tag. Better, less expensive masks out there for my particular skin concerns, but a lot of people love this product so worth checking out for yourself.

*Peter Thomas Roth Hungarian Thermal Water Mineral-Rich Atomic Heat Mask (sephora.com): quick (< 3 minute) mask; becomes warm when activated with cool water; nonirritating but results not significantly different enough for me to justify the price.

*Peter Thomas Roth Irish Moor Mud Purifying Black Mask (sephora.com): skin felt instantly more hydrated; mildly improved appearance of skin, but not enough to justify the price. There are better, less expensive masks out there.

*Sephora Collection Overnight Glow Mask (eBay.com): gel consistency, absorbs immediately. First time I used it I didn’t use moisturizer after – skin felt tight and top layer sloughed off to reveal smooth, soft skin; however skin was very dry for days later. Second time I used it I put moisturizer on after but skin still felt really dry for days after. No significant difference in appearance of skin.

*Summer Fridays Overtime Mask (sephora.com): amazing pumpkin scent; exfoliant a little too harsh for my sensitive skin; skins feels smooth and appears slightly less dull after but overall mildly irritating to my sensitive skin. Other people LOVE this product though so definitely worth checking out for yourself, especially if you don’t have sensitive skin!

Blemish/Acne Treatments

Favorites

*Dermalogica Clear Start Breakout Clearing Booster (sephora.com): Really cleared up my skin after just one use. I woke up with improved texture of my problem areas. Not overdrying. Won’t stain sheets. Good price point. Highly recommend this spot treatment.

*Sakara Life Beauty Chocolates (freepeople.com): pros: aesthetic packaging | cons: bitter chocolate taste; didn’t notice any difference in appearance of skin. $45 for 30 chocolates.

Self Tanners

Favorites

*Clarins Liquid Bronze Self Tanning (sephora.com): I apply this milky self tanner for face on after moisturizer; gives skin a natural glow while making it feel soft and smooth; it even helps clear up any blemishes I have. Nice light scent – doesn’t have that typical self-tanner smell. My go-to self tanner for face – highly recommend.

Want to try

*Tan-Luxe Super Glow Hyaluranic Self-Tan Serum (sephora.com)

Others I’ve tried

*Tan-Luxe THE FACE Illuminating Self-Tan Drops (sephora.com: beautiful, luxurious, minimal packaging. I put a few pumps of my moisturizer in the palm of my hand, followed by 5 drops, mix it with my finger, then apply the mixture to my face. I used the light-medium and it gave a nice subtle, buildable glow. Midrange price but a little goes a long way and it will last a long time. Unfortunately, as some self-tanners are for my skin, it’s slightly drying. I want to try the Tan-Luxe Super Glow Hyaluranic Self-Tan Serum to see if the tan is the same but more moisturizing.

*Isle of Paradise Self Tanning Drops (sephora.com): I used 5 drops of Medium in my face moisturizer. It has a typical self tanner smell; nice color but sometimes turns out patchy; slightly drying. Can also be used on the body. Clean beauty product. Midrange price.

Face Sunscreen

Favorites

*Supergoop! Daily Dose Vitamin C + SPF Broad Spectrum Sunscreen Serum SPF 40 PA+++ (sephora.com): this multitasking serum with both vitamin C and SPF is lightweight & not greasy. Skin actually GLOWS after applying it. Very hydrating. I avoided wearing daily sunscreen on my face until using this product because others would irritate/clog my skin, but this one actually improves appearance of skin. The only time I notice a subtle sunscreen smell is when I’ve been wearing a mask for a while. Highly recommend.

Eye Treatments

Favorites

*it Cosmetics Confidence in an Eye Cream (itcosmetics.com): I’ve been using this eye cream in the AM every day for 3 years. It brightens and smooths undereyes and doesn’t mess up concealer. Highly recommend.

*Kiehl’s Eye Fuel (bluemercury.com): formerly called Eye Alert. This eye cream is marketed for men, but I love using it for late nights & plane rides. Really wakes up your eyes – it’s like an instant shot of caffeine to your eyes (literally, it has caffeine in it). It messes up makeup though, so I only use it only when my eyes feel really tired.

*Kovo Essentials Bio-Cellulose Undereye Patches (kovoessentials.com): these CBD eye patches felt soothing while on (not tight like other eye patches such as the Elemis Pro-Collagen Hydra-Gel Eye Masks) and undereye skin looked hydrated and smooth after one use. $12 each.

*M-61 Hydraboost Eye Cream (bluemercury.com): of all the eye creams I’ve tried, this one is best at making fine lines arounds the eyes less noticeable. Fragrance-free. Pricey but one pump goes a long way and it lasts forever.

Want to try

*Colleen Rothschild Retinol Supreme Eye Serum (collenrothschild.com)

Others I’ve tried

*Biossance Squalane + Marine Algae Eye Cream (sephora.com): absorbs quickly; hydrating; clean beauty product; fragrance free; Allure 2020 Best of Beauty award winner; not as crease-free with makeup or as brightening as it Cosmetics Confidence in an Eye Cream; doesn’t diminish fine lines as well as M-61 Hydraboost Eye Cream.

*Clarins Extra-Firming Eye Balm (clarinsusa.com): nice subtle scent; thicker consistency but absorbs well; improved appearance of fine lines but didn’t really make a difference in appearance of dark circles; soothing – I would use this as an eye mask rather than a daily eye cream, it’s worth trying; mid/high price point.

*Clarins Total Eye Lift (clarinsusa.com): nice light scent; absorbs well; doesn’t migrate into eyes; slightly improved appearance of fine lines, but not as well as M-61 Hydraboost Eye Cream.

*Elemis Pro-Collagen Hydra-Gel Eye Masks (revolve.com): feel tight while on, no significant difference in appearance of under eye skin after using; mid/higher end price range

*Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Supercharged Complex Synchronized Recovery (sephora.com): this gel-like serum hydrates and soothes, but didn’t make a significant change in appearance of fine lines – M-61 Hydraboost Eye Cream has better results.

*Kiehl’s Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing & Dark Circle-Diminishing Vitamin C Eye Cream (sephora.com): thicker cream consistency but absorbs quickly; didn’t make a noticeable difference, not worth the $50 imo; occasionally migrated into my eyes overnight & woke up with blurry eyes (but didn’t irritate them)

*Pure Biology Total Eye Cream (amazon.com): nice packaging, absorbs well, hydrating and nonirritating but no significant difference in appearance of skin/fine lines around eyes; price midrange.

*skinfix barrier+ Lipid-Boost 360 Eye Cream (sephora.com): clean beauty product; didn’t make a significant difference in appearance of skin/fine lines around eye. Price midrange but a little goes a long way.

*tarte sea wink of H2O vegan collagen eye cream (sephora.com): absorbs well; clean beauty product; didn’t make a noticeable difference, not worth it imo
