I went from an easy, hurried, low-maintenance facial cleaning ritual to trying out the Asian 10 step skincare routine. Being raised in New York City has damaged and polluted my skin; I'm now repairing and focusing on anti-aging.
I want to buy and use products from a broad number of brands, I didn't just want to stick with one brand, I shopped around and compared all. I will try to write reviews each month, one which will be a list my skincare routine products, sharing my experiences on each product.

Kiehl's Since 1851 Clearly Corrective™ Dark Spot Solution
I grabbed these products because I wanted to try out to see if the the brightening line works with dark spots that I have been producing because of age. I do see a few of dark age spots on my face now that I'm in my mid-30s. This lightweight serum absorbs through skin quickly but sadly I don't love it enough to use it continuous everyday to see changes. Since it is winter now and the temperatures are colder, I prefer a more hydrating serum.

BANILA CO Clean It Zero 3-in-1 Cleansing Balm in revitalizing
I cannot believe that I am so late to the game. This product is amazing as the first step in removing your makeup and deep cleansing your face. I didn't even need a second step foam cleanser. I love this product; I've always been a cleansing oil type of person but if your traveling, this is the product to take as a multicleanser. The texture is wax, sherbet-like and it melts right away and scrubs away all the gross makeup and sweat on your face. Even the harsh Jeffree Star pink pigments eyeshadows are able to be removed by this product and that's saying something. There is a tiny grape-like scent which fades away as it glides onto your skin. Love this product and will repurchase if necessary.

DR. BARBARA STURM Brightening Face Cream
This product feels as if it is the same exact product using the same ingredients as the Brightening face lotion. I thought that one would be better for the summer and this one for the winter but it feels like the exact same product. It pills alot when it dries down your face. I completely hate it. So currently I am using this expensive $250 cream for my feet and body.

MILK MAKEUP Vegan Milk Moisturizer
I hate it. It's thick and smells like plastic or that ponds scent. The only thing that attracted me to purchase this product was the cute yellow packaging and it worked. It doesn't melt through the skin fast but people with extremely dry skin will love it. I have dry skin and I don't like it.

tatcha violet C brightening serum
I'm quite disappointed in this product. Maybe I'm used to hydrating serum or with a more viscose texture. This serum is best for summer and humid weather. It is so watery and it soaks up really fast through the skin. Best for oily skin.

Missha Time Revolution Artemisia Treatment Essence
It's been 4.5 years since I've used the Missha Time Revolution Essence. I now have the Time Revolution Artemisia Treatment Essence during the end of the summer and early autumn of 2020. This is the time where everyone has to wear masks everywhere. I have to wear it for 9 hours at work so my skin has been breaking out more often. In comes this product, I love it. It's hydrating and soothes my skin; it has been helping with the breakouts. I don't even know why I stop using essence this summer. The double fermented Artemisia annua extract helps with moisturizing and healing.

MAC Studio Sculpt SPF 15 Foundation in NW15
I was surprised how full coverage this product had. It's a mousse texture so you can apply it buy fingers or a brush. I like to use a brush to smooth it out to make it more natural. It has a dewy satin finish and looks healthy. Great for more mature skin.

MURAD Prebiotic 4-In-1 MultiCleanser
I use this as a morning cleanser or no-makeup days. It's a gel-like cleanser that I use dry, meaning without water first. Then I wash it off with water--the technique is just weird when I started using it. It's very different when compared to other gel cleansers. I will not repurchased.
