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.

Kose Sekkisei Clear Wellness UV sunscreen Tone Up

This is a mineral gel-like sunscreen so I think it's safer to use for me when I was pregnant and with sensitive skin.  I love this sunscreen which doesn't leave me with a white cast or uncomfortable on the skin. Wished I purchased more while I was in Taiwan. Love the light lavender color which evens out my slight hyperpigmentation and the lavender color disappears right afterwards.

Naturie Hatomugi Skin Conditioner Toner

 

Nice summer toner and very refreshing. Love the pump but I wouldn't repurchase because there are so many other toners on the market.

AHC Safe on Light Sun Serum

 It is a pale pink clear gel-like serum which rubs smoothly and absorbs fast into the skin. I do feel a slight cooling sensation for a moment which I like for this current 95F temperatures that I have been experiencing in this summer. I do love the brightening and anti-aging effect that is included in this product. Wish I brought more. Love the pump too. It doesn't pill on me.

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.

Neogen DERMALOGY Real Ferment Micro Essence

 I can argueably suggest that this product texture is similiar to the IOPE essence. It's a more affordable option. Great for sensitive skin. The lightweight is best for summer time. Very hydrating.

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.
