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.

Centellian24 Expert Madeca Cream Active Renew PDRN

 Love it for my neck on hot humid nights. It has a slight mint cooling feeling. Preventive care usage.

La Mer The Radiant SkinTint SPF 30

 


   
This is a very pricey moisturizer. The scent hits me hard. Takes me about 10 minutes to not smell it anymore. Not very hydrating.
There is a light sheer tint and it makes my skin look soft.

fresh Black Tea Anti-Aging Moisturizer with Retinol-Alternative BT Matrix

 I like it but don't love it. I think I prefer their Lotus Youth Preserve Radiance Renewal Night Cream over this one. It's a good introduction to antiaging for late twenties and early thirties. The only pro to me is the light tea scent.

Estée Lauder Revitalizing Supreme+ Youth Power Creme Moisturizer

 Great winter and dry conditions moisturizer. My face and necks thanks this cream, and I've been using some as a hand cream because my fingers get extremely dry.

ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Night Cream

 This product has this common skincare scent that I don't like. It is lightweight, hydrating and cushioning but I'm not loving the pricetag to repurchase this product. I haven't seen much of a change in my skin but the biggest con is the scent.

Tatcha Water cream

 Best day or night cream during the hot summer conditions. A bit watery for my taste, but a little goes a long way. Skin feels soft and smooth the morning after. Packaging looks luxe on my selfie bathroom vanity.  I love to lather this all over my face and neck before going outside.

Sulwhasoo Essential Comfort Balancing Emulsion

 Love this light moisturizer during the summer. 

Skin absorbs the moisturizer so well and fast. My skin always look smooth and refreshed the morning after. Love the pump and packaging which I do see a bit of sparking glitter on the bottle.

Tatcha DEWY SKIN CREAM Replenishing & Plumping Moisturizer

 I've been using this product more at night since I found out I was pregnant. My skin is ultra soft and smooth when I wake up in the morning and wash my face. But after using half the jar and as the weather got warmer, my skin was becoming more oily as the day goes on. So I will stick to using this either at nights or winter day creams.

sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Cream

 I miss the smell of suwhasoo ginseng. The packaging was sealed with a gold foil. I love using this cream because it reminds me of the old packaging of the ginseng scent. It's absorb quick and keeps my skin hydrated during the wintertime. There are no dupes out for this moisturizer since I've first used this about 10 years ago.

Hanyul Artemisia Intensive Calming Cream

 I love this cream as a winter night cream.  A little bit goes a long way. It's great for my sensitive skin and i haven't seen any milia on my skin since using this product.

AMOREPACIFIC Moisture Plumping Nectar Cream

 Love this luxurious gel cream! I've been using this as a day cream between summer and autumn which my skin drinks up. It absorbs quickly and doesn't leave any stickiness. The product gives me some radiance and keeps my skin well moisturized throughout the day.

SUNDAY RILEY Ice Ceramide Moisturizing Cream

 It's nice for the winter. I'm not a fan of the scent. The cream is a bit thick for my liking but my skin did feel smoother the following morning. Great for fine lines because this cream is quite moisturizing.

Sulwhasoo Essential Comfort Moisture Cream

 I was disappointed at the texture of this cream because I was used to the ginseng thicker version but I was happy after using it because this cream did't give me milia.  This cream is great for summer time and I only use it at nights.

ILLIYOON Ceramide Ato Concentrate Cream

 I love this product. I suffer from eczema on my toes and fingers and this cream soothes my skin more than the prescribed medication from the doctors. I will definitely repurchase this when I run out.

Sulwhasoo Bloomstay Vitalizing Cream

This lightweight gel-cream applies smoothly and feels rich without clogging the pores or milia. I've I enjoyed this between winter and spring as a great transition cream. None sticky and my skin absorbs this product easily.

chanel hydra beauty micro creme


  


I purchased this as a 35th birthday present to splurge on myself. It feels luxurious but it doesn't give the skin much benefits besides moisturizing which almost all other skincare can do. The beads are cute and they do burst as you apply onto your face but not worth the price tag.

ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 Foundation-Balos ST3

 ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 Foundation-Balos ST3


This is a nice skincare/moisturizer tint product. This texture is a bit thick for me to use during the August hot and humid weather, but I will be using this daily during the upcoming autumn season. It does give you a natural look but it's too shiny especially if you sweat outside. The key in using this product is just a few drops to smooth onto your face. If too much, then it can look heavy.

OTZI Hydro Crystal Lightweight Gel Moisturizer

 

This is the perfect lightweight summer moisturizer. It isn't sticky and doesn't clog my pores. Absorbs quick and gives my sensitive skin the perfect amount of hydration.

belif Aqua Bomb Brightening Vitamin C Cream

 


 
This brand never disappoints me in texture and performance. My sensitive skin always loves the feeling of this lightweight cream when applied onto my skin. Always a win and never a reaction. It moisturizes my skin, and it looks and feels pumped with hydration.
