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.

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.

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.

Drunk Elephant F-Balm™ Electrolyte Waterfacial Mask

Love this hydrating overnight mask. It feels like an emulsion, very light and glides easily.

My sensitive skin is smooth the morning after using this overnight cream. It doesn't give me milia or is sticky. Love the pump. Will repurchase this product again if it goes on sale.

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.

Drunk Elephant lala retro whipped cream

I decided to go through my mini sized creams recently and picked this out of my stash. I'm starting to not be excited about Drunk Elephant products. I've used so many product over the past 5 years and I don't see much of a change. Yes it is overpriced. Now onto this cream, its whipped texture is quite interesting to me. The cream does have some highlighting features-it's quite interesting. Great for sensitive skin.

fresh Lotus Anti-Aging Night Moisturizer

 

I love this product! Best night cream for the summer for me. In my opinion I believe this is the best for skin in the early 30s. I love this lightly scent moisturizer; great for my sensitive skin. I was sad that I emptied it within 3 months and will repurchase. It kept my face and night moisturized. It wasn't sticky or heavy.

Belif Peat Miracle Revital Cream

 


I waited so long to write this review to the point where I'm almost done with the product. This product had been in my shopping cart online for a couple of years until I brought it because I needed a day cream. I know I'm not dreaming but this product is either highly moisturizing or the ingredients in the product helps with wrinkle disappearing because I have noticed that my skin is more plump and see less wrinkles around my smile lines and crow eye lines. I also think my sun spots disappeared too and I used this in the entire month of August and the sun was very strong in Northeastern US this summer. Will repurchase.

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream

 
I am not going to lie and say I didn't buy it for the packaging but other than that this product is just ok. The top is a bit cheap but it's ok for me. I don't reach for this product as much as my fresh night cream or belif day cream. It doesn't break me out and it is great for all seasons but might need a thicker cream for the colder temps. A little goes a long way and it's not heavy or clogs the pores. Definitely a splurge luxurious item for yourself but will not repurchase.

Drunk elephant Protini™ Polypeptide Cream

 

I understand this product is expensive but I did like the pumping packaging to maintain hygienic practices but there was something in this product that made my skin so itchy. I ended up decluttering this product and giving it to someone else. If you have sensitive skin, I don't recommend this product.

Eve Lom The Essential Moisture Cream

Eve Lom The Essential Moisture Cream

 I received this product complimentary from Influenster and EveLom #cleansewithevelom in exchange for my honest opinion. I was excited to see hyaluronic acid in this moisture anti-aging cream. I was a bit frighten that the texture was going to be thick but it was great for the May-June months. In my opinion, it's great for all 4 seasons. It is lightweight yet it kept my skin hydrated. My sensitive skin loved it and it was great under makeup and I didn't feel oily all day with the product on. Loved it! I will definitely repurchase this product.

Biossance Squalane + Omega Repair Cream

 Biossance Squalane + Omega Repair Cream



I received this product as a Christmas present from my brother. I think he is trying to hint to me to convert over to clean beauty but the scent in this product is so weird. Just had to hold my breathe everytime I tried to use this. This is the perfect night cream for the winter for dry skin. There are ceramides and lipids here in the thick formula. I did notice my face look more plump and moisturized the morning after. Best for the colder winter weather conditions. I was surprised how much my skin enjoyed this in December and January.

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.
