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.

Krave Beauty Beet the sun sunscreen

 I wish I knew about this sooner to use in the summertime. This lightweight moisturizer sunscreen makes me forget that I applied sunscreen. The only downfall is that I noticed my skin is a bit oily after a couple hours.

gokujyun premium serum vitamin c

 I couldn't find many reviews on the serum when I purchased this product in Taiwan last summer, but it doesn't hurt to try it because nothing disappoints me from this brand. I was a bit nervous to try it in the morning after my AM skincare routine, so I picked a day that I was off from work to experiment with it. I didn't experience any tinkling or breakouts. I actually liked this product. My skin absorbed it quite fast, and it didn't feel sticky on a humid 90F weather. I know there was some hyaluronic acid in this product, so my face felt quite moisturized.

Torriden Dive In Serum


 
I saw it was viral in Korea and Taiwan during the warmer seasons so I purcahsed it from costco for $23 for a 2-pack. I have been saving to use it around the spring and summer, and I love it. It's hyaluronic acid that's hydrating and doesn't leave the skin feeling sticky. Best for anyone but I think it's safe for teenage skin.

GrandeBROW 2-In-1 Tinted Brow Gel + Brow Enhancing Serum

 I like this product but don't love it. You have to know when to apply heavily and when to apply light. Luckily, it's a brush so you can brush off your errors. I brought one in dark, and I am satisfied with the shade on my fair Asian skin.

Farmacy 1% Vitamin A Retinol Serum

 

I'm trying to get into using retinol, so this was a great introductory product.  I have been using this for preventive care for my smile lines and neck. I just use a pump after I apply essence on my face. It's good for my sensitive skin so no complaints.
