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.

Herbivore Prism AHA + BHA Exfoliating Glow Serum
I had high expectations for this product and was waiting a while for it to go on sale to try it. Love the packaging but not a fan of the product. The scent is a been smelly for me at first, but it went away after half the bottle was done. A bit sensitive at first but overall, it keeps my skin hydrated.

Herbivore Prism AHA + BHA Exfoliating Glow Facial
A bit messy to work with at first because the product is very watery.
It is tingling the first time I used it and my face was red afterwards. But I would only use this cautiously once a week. I used their bakuchiol serum afterwards and the redness calm down a bit.

Herbivore Bakuchiol Retinol Alternative Smoothing Serum
I loved the mini sample so much that I ordered the full size. Loved it so much that I ended up purchasing more products from the brand. My sensitive skin loves this retinol alternative and it's all that matters to me. If it helps with dark spots and age spots who knows because there isn't enough of the bakuchiol ingredient in this product. I'm in my mid-30s so this product was to try out this retinol alternative but there are many more other retinol products out there for our faces.

Herbivore Cloud Jelly plumping hydration serum
Herbivore Cloud Jelly vegan collagen and tremella plumping hydration serum
I like to use this product in my daytime skincare routine which helps with morning bloating and dryness. The tremella is supposed to help with inflammation and I don't see much but it helps with hydration and that is all I care about during the wintertime. Love the pink liquid color and the texture isn't sticky, and my sensitive skin loves it. No scent.

Chanel Micro Liquid Essence
Chanel Hydra Beauty Micro Liquid Essence
Love this fresh and lightweight skincare product. Love the microbeads that burst when you apply onto the skin. It is pricey but it's ok to splurge once in a while. Best luxury essence for the winter temps.Saturday, February 19, 2022
Chanel Micro Eye Gel Yeux
Chanel Hydra Beauty Micro Gel Yeux Intense Smoothing Hydration Eye Gel
This product got me into applying eye products into my skincare routine. My eyes easily produce milia so I'm very frightened to use creams, but this product made my eye area feel smooth and hydrated. I loved the cooling effect.
