My PINK skincare routine! Did I do this intentionally? Hmm… I’d say 70% was unintentional and the other 30% was intentional. Most of these are Asian products so I thought I’d share here. I’m sensitive super dry skin type in tropical climate.
Here’s the format for organization.
Product number corresponding to image attached: function – brand and product name – duration I’ve used for, noteworthy comments.
1: MakeUp Remover – Banila Co Clean It Zero Original Cleansing Balm: 1+ years. Initially I used Clinique’s cleansing balm for several years but due to global economics, I sought to find cheaper alternatives. I discovered this Banila Co cleansing balm, used for a year now. Personally I think it’s even better than Clinique’s. It doesn’t form a film on my eyes. It has a nice light scent.
2: Face Wash – Biore Foaming 2-in-1 Face Wash – 15+ years. My go-to face wash. It’s gentle and not stripping at all.
3: Exfoliating toner- Lancome Tonique Confort -5months. Contains salicylic acid which helps subdue my pimples during my period but also hydrating. (note: formulation is different in different regions, make sure to check ingredients before buying).
4: Anti-aging care – SANA Medicated Wrinkle Brightening Lotion 200ml – Just started using- Contains niacinamide and retinol. I’m still figuring out which anti-aging product I want to use and stick with long term. Ideally I want it to be a serum or toner because I’ve already locked down my other products. I consider this my retinol toner.
5: Hydrating Toner – d Program Moist Care Lotion – 2 weeks. Much better than naturie hatomugi lotion. I use this when I feel I need extra hydration. In the pic, it’s a trial size. Waiting for the full size to go on sale, lol.
6: Lightweight Moisturizer – d Program Moist Care Emulsion – 2 weeks. I’m in love with this new find. I sweat a lot during the day in my country’s tropical climate so sometimes I wash my face a lot. It’s a nice affordable yet quality option to hydrate my face without feeling like I’m washing money down the drain. I got the trial size then bought this full size product.
7: Go-to Moisturizer – Clinique Moisture Surge Overnight Mask – 15+ years. I’m super dry and found that this works for me as a daily moisturizer. I alternate it with the regular Clinique Moisture Surge. If anyone has any affordable options to recommend, please let me know. (I tried illiyoon cream and wasn’t hydrating enough.)
8: Daily Sunscreen -Biore UV AquaRich Tone Up SPF50 – 5 months. It doesn’t dry matte; more like slightly sticky. So I use it for daily at-home sunscreen because it feels moisturizing. I use the regular blue tube for under makeup days.
9: Tinted Sunscreen – Allie sunscreen Sheer Beige (for face) SPF50 – 2 weeks. Nice light coverage SPF for running errands. I’ll probably change this to the Allie body Rose Chaire once it goes on sale. haha
10: Hair Oil – Kose Je l’aime Fantasist Concentrate Oil – 10+ years. I put this to condition my hair maybe once a week.

If anyone wants a thorough review of any, let me know and I can post separately. And if anyone has any pink product recommendations, please do comment below! I’m still looking for affordable pink options for the following: cleansing oil, medium SPF foundation, thick moisturizing cream, and body lotion.
Some products I currently have my eye on but have not yet tried are as follows: Kose Speedy Cleansing Oil, Cow Brand Cleansing Oil, Cow Brand Moist Milk Emulsion, Decorte Sun Shelter Tone Up CC, Cezanne Tone Up Base UV pink, Attenir Cleansing Oil pink, Integrate Suppin Maker SPF50.

Please do share a in depth review of item 4 if you are able to, I’ve seen it awhile back but always am curious about it. It’s hard to find reviews of this brand in English.
Am currently using attenir’s cleansing oil and it’s really good, I think it’s very decently priced for the quality. Do note that I’m using the original citrus scented one and not the pink one, but I think they’re the same just that the scent is different?
