Hello, skincare fam! ๐ธ
If you’ve ever stood in front of the mirror wondering if
you’re doing your skincare routine right — or why your products don’t seem to
work the way they’re supposed to — trust me, I’ve been there. After years of
trial, error, and tons of research, I’ve finally found a set of essentials that
truly work for my skin. These products help me stay balanced, hydrated,
and glow-ready 24/7.
Here’s my current skincare lineup that I absolutely swear
by ๐
1. Neutrogena Oil-Free
Pink Grapefruit Facial Cleanser (9.1 fl oz)
This is my holy grail cleanser for keeping acne and
breakouts at bay. Packed with salicylic acid and the refreshing punch of pink
grapefruit, it deeply cleans pores while still being gentle on the skin. Plus,
it contains Vitamin C for a light brightening effect!
๐ฃ Best for:
Acne-prone, oily to combo skin
๐ When I use it: Every morning and
night

2. Beauty of Joseon
Glow Replenishing Rice Toner (5.07 fl oz)
This K-beauty favorite is perfect for oily or combination
skin. It’s enriched with rice extracts that hydrate while balancing excess oil.
The result? A dewy glow that doesn’t look greasy. It feels light but effective
— my skin drinks this up!
๐ฃ Best for: Combo
to oily skin
๐ When I use it: After cleansing

3. The Ordinary Niacinamide
10% + Zinc 1%
This serum is a cult favorite for a reason. It helps
reduce blemishes, inflammation, and excess oil, while shrinking pores over
time. If you’ve got problem skin, this is a no-brainer. And it’s super
budget-friendly too compared to other serums!
๐ฃ Best for:
Blemish-prone, oily or combo skin
๐ When I use it: After toner, AM or PM
๐ Buy Now on

4. Minimalist Caffeine Eye Cream with Retinal & Vitamin K
This little tube does a lot — it targets dark circles,
puffiness, and under-eye bags, while also helping with early signs of aging.
Thanks to retinal and vitamin K, my under-eye area looks way more awake and
even-toned.
๐ฃ Best for: Puffy
eyes, dark circles, fine lines
๐ When I use it: Nightly

5. Neutrogena Hydro Boost
Gel Cream
This moisturizer is everything if you need hydration but
hate heavy creams. The gel moisturizer has hyaluronic acid that hydrates for up
to 48 hours, and perfect to pair it up with the Niacinamide Serum mentioned
above. My skin feels so plump and glowy after using this combo!
๐ฃ Best for: Normal
to dry or dehydrated skin
๐ When I use it: After serum, day &
night

Final Thoughts ๐ญ
These aren’t just products — they’re part of a routine
that’s transformed my skin. They’ve helped me fix breakouts, smooth texture,
hydrate deeply, and feel more confident without makeup.
Skincare doesn’t have to be overwhelming. When you stick
to a solid order and products that work for your skin type, the difference is
real.
Let me know in the comments if you’ve tried any of these
— or if you’re planning to. I love swapping recommendations with fellow
skincare lovers!
Stay glowing always ๐
