- Goodal Vitamin C Toner Pad – I also liked their serum but that had some tendency to pill with other skincare. This is more thin, watery, and works with everything. WRP
- Neogene Cica Pad – pleasant to use but too "gentle" for me. No complaints but don't think it did much either.
- Heimish All-Clean Cleansing Balm – so good, very effective for makeup. Slight stinging around the eyes but not the worst, and some residue after rinsing but not too bad. WRP
- Suncut UV Perfect Essence Waterproof Sunscreen – loved this for the summer and under makeup. Can pill under with certain products and/or too much friction, but definitely workable – moreso than the gel version. No white-cast, but shiny-ish finish on its own despite drying down completely. Not perfect but great value and versatile. WRP
- Benton Aloe BHA Toner – very gentle and hydrating, BHA % too low to do anything for me. Made DIY presoaked toner pads/makeup wipes with these and worked pretty well for anything non-waterproof.
- Garnier Fructose Hair Filler + Bonding Inner Fiber Repair Treatment – trying out some Abbey Yung recs since bleaching and this is a winner for me. Great value and I do feel like it improves the texture/coarseness of my damaged hair, even without condltioner. WRP
- L'oreal Glycolic Gloss Lamination Rinse – another Abbey Yung rec, overhyped IMO. I liked it but didn't see any revolutionary results on bleach/damage? Basically a good condltioner with v nice fragrance.
- I'm From Mugwort Mask Mini – wanted to love this but it's just so basic/gentle and I don't think it did anything for me. WNRP, can't touch my HG Skinfood Rice Wash-Off Mask which is both hydrating and brightening.
- Apieu Deo Armpit Brightener – discontinued but glad I had backups 🙏 I suspect the "brightening" is just the white cast from the titanium dioxide, but this is so necessary for me in the summer for calming/soothing my underarms when they're irritated from antiperspirant use. HG, looking for alternatives.
