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.

Youth to the People Kombucha Toner

 

Does a good job when my skin is starting to look uneven or bumpy with redness. 
But I try not to use this daily on my sensitive skin.

KLAIRS Freshly Juiced Vitamin C Drop


 I'm not sure if this product did anything to my skin. 
It is very soothing, but that was it. It absorbs well into the skin.
Only used this during my night skincare routine when my skin is on "good days".

PEACH & LILY Power Calm Hydrating Gel Cleanser

Too light for me but ok for morning rinse. Not a repurchase because it's not foamy enough for second cleanse in my opinion. I use this only in the morning because it is very watery and light weight gel cleanser.  Dupe to the fresh soy cleanser.

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.

Estée Lauder Micro Essence Treatment Lotion with Bio-Ferment

 The texture is a bit oily or slimy for me because I'm used to the more watery textures from some Korean brands. I believe the slimy can be the ingredients are Bifida Ferment Lysate and Lactobacillus Ferment which is suppose to help repair the skin barrier. In my opinion, I believe this essence is best for winter time.




 Whatever the texture is, it must be doing a good job because my skin absorbs it quick and loves it. I don't have any weird breakouts or itchiness. No fragrances or scents so my sensitive skin approves. My other complaint but can easily be overlooked is the flimsy plastic material of the cap.

Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Serum

 I love this emulsion which can be used as a serum during the dry winters. 

I've used this product during the past winter and loved it. 

My skin drank it all.  It nourishes and hydrates my skin. Very luxury. Love the packaging.

This product is great for dry and aging skin but it's pricey. So I would re-purchase this if there is a sale.
