ingredients for both hydration and oil control

AHA PHA enzyme exfoliating mask

firming rebalancing ferments, hydrating humectants and barrier nourishing lipids. Ultimate all-in-one tbh

rebalancing ferments and hydrating humectants

watery liquid exfoliant- don't get multiple 2% salicylic acid products, just pick one of the ones listed.

great AHA exfoliant- use every other day until you see if your skin can tolerate more frequent use. Be extra diligent with SPF whenever incorporating AHAs like mandelic into your routine.

Great vit C for the price but not recommended for those with sensitive skin as it can be kinda spicy

more of a mattifying primer texture than Timeless vit C. Still a little spicy for sensitive skin but a great option.

30% glycerin for the most glazed of all glazed donuts. A bit sticky at first but soaks in after like 5-10 mins

great cleanser with rebalancing ingredients

gentle cleanser, I actually find this effectively removes makeup too for those who don't like to double cleanse

first cleanser in double cleansing to help dissolve makeup and spf

This is prob the best value of any cleansing oil I've tried, or balm, it's soooo good and so inexpensive.

great for reducing skin's response to external aggressors, those with redness-prone skin, etc

doesn't burn my eyes at all either!

they also have a game 5 with 0.05% but the delivery system reduces irritation potential, so 0.1% may be fine for starters. just use every other night until you've determined if your skin can tolerate nightly use.

best budget peptides out there! Copper peptides are in encapsulated delivery system so it's no fuss, easy to use, super nourishing, great for firming benefits and expression lines.
