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.

primera Alpine Berry Water Cream

 I know this product is discontinued but this was one of my favorite dries, brands and I'm a very picky user. I remember using this brand other gel moisturizer in the past when it first launched. I remembered loving the product back then but there were so many products out in the market that I never got to try this water cream. I purchased this through Sephora and am currently using this as a day cream during these winter northeastern US conditions. It is cold and the air is dry, so it sucks majority the moisture in the skin barrier. Surprisingly this cream kept my skin moisturized during my entire 9 hours of work in the hospital and the hospital is very dry. It is very lightweight and hydrated my sensitive skin. I'm very sad that this product is discontinued.

AMOREPACIFIC Vintage Single Extract Essence

 Love a watery essence but this product will be better in the summer for me. I used it during the winter and prefer the thicker shiseido texture. But overall great essence but I wouldn't repurchase this for the price because I didn't see much of a difference. Just draining my funds onto my skin.

Biossance Squalane + Glycolic Renewal Mask

Surprisingly I wasn't impressed by this product. I never feel clean with this product after I wash it off the physical grains in the product. It feels a layer of oil is on my face and I always use a gel cleanser after to wash off the residue of this product. It's great for sensitive skin but I don't see results even after going through the entire tube.
