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.

Good Molecules Overnight Exfoliating Treatment

 

This product tingles a bit when I use it hence only twice a week after I use a foaming cleanser. I never use anything else that is exfoliating or AHA BHA with this product. I have sensitive skin so I'm extra careful on what I layer this product with. It does do something to my face because my face is smooth the morning after.

Giorgio Armani Neo Nude True-to-Skin Foundation

 


Neo Nude True-to-Skin Foundation
5 - Light, Neutral
Skincare-infused sheer foundation
 


I think the shade color that I choose was a shade too light, so I wasn't too happy about this, but I believe there are ingredients in here that break me out. Luckily, I use this as a BB cream instead of a full foundation. I apply with my fingers because it can be easy to blend and work with, but you need to work fast. I do admit that I like the luminous look after application and I'm glad I tried something "armani", but I wouldn't repurchase this again. Check the ingredients before you buy.

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.

Good Molecules Rosewater Daily Cleansing Gel

 

I love this gel cleanser for the summer mornings. 

My skin feels refreshed and hydrated after I cleanse. I enjoyed it and it is great for sensitive skin.
