e.l.f. cosmetics Pure Skin Cleanser

Pure Skin Cleanser e.l.f. cosmetics

Feels like a gel/lotion hybrid and has a simple formula with good ingredients. Like this for AM cleansing.
Avène Thermal Spring Water

Thermal Spring Water Avène

This is more than water in a can, it soothes irritated skin and provides much needed hydration when super dry. Great under moisturizers as well as any time the moisture barrier is compromised and needs time to repair itself.
Paula's Choice 10% Azelaic Acid Booster

10% Azelaic Acid Booster Paula's Choice

The most cosmetically elegant azelaic acid, feels like a moisturizer on the skin.
Paula's Choice Resist Super-Light Wrinkle Defense SPF 30

Resist Super-Light Wrinkle Defense SPF 30 Paula's Choice

My favourite sunscreen, the tint is light and great for my skintone. I need very little foundation over this, just a touch over my most stubborn red areas.
Vaseline 100% Pure Petroleum Jelly

100% Pure Petroleum Jelly Vaseline

Best multipurpose product. I love this as lip balm or to repair dry, cracked skin on the heels of my feet.
Quo Banana Cleansing Balm

Banana Cleansing Balm Quo

Smells like bananas and transforms into an oil as it's worked into dry skin, breaking down all makeup and sunscreen. Add a little water and it transforms into a milky liquid, rinses away clean taking all makeup and sunscreen with it.
Paula's Choice Resist Anti-Aging Eye Gel

Resist Anti-Aging Eye Gel Paula's Choice

Slight tightening effect while on the skin, lightweight and absorbs in. Love this for my AM eye product.
The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10%

Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% The Ordinary

Compared to PC Azelaic Acid, this one is much thicker, feels like a dimethicone primer but smooths over the skin and I love the blurring effect. A pea-sized amount is all that is needed otherwise it may pill up under other products.
Tatcha The Rice Polish Gentle

The Rice Polish Tatcha

This is a very gentle physical exfoliant that I use once per week in place of my second cleanse in the PM. It is not harsh at all, the creamy soft lather it creates is surprising.
The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA

Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA The Ordinary

A decent simple moisturizer, no offending ingredients in it.
The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser

Squalane Cleanser The Ordinary

gemmajaws rated A non-foaming cleanser that is gentle on the skin and rinses clean.
The Ordinary Glucoside Foaming Cleanser

Glucoside Foaming Cleanser The Ordinary

A great option for a lightly foaming gentle cleanser, especially as a second cleanse following a balm/oil cleanser in the evening.
Paula's Choice Calm Redness Relief 1% BHA Lotion Exfoliant

Calm Redness Relief 1% BHA Lotion Exfoliant Paula's Choice

My favourite BHA product, very gentle for rosacea skin.
Derma E Advanced Peptide & Collagen Eye Cream

Advanced Peptide & Collagen Eye Cream Derma E

My favourite eye cream, feels wonderful, absorbs well, excellent ingredients, highly recommend.
e.l.f. cosmetics Pure Skin Moisturizer

Pure Skin Moisturizer e.l.f. cosmetics

Basic moisturizer with a simple formula and good ingredients.
The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Eye Serum

Multi-Peptide Eye Serum The Ordinary

Not sure this does anything tbh. It's a very watery serum, layers under a traditional eye cream really well.
