6Fresh Kombucha Antioxidant Facial Treatment Essence
What is it: Kombucha-infused essence that protects against pollution and free-radicals while hydrating for a brighter, refreshed complexion. Use daily as a skincare prep.
Review: “I like to use this essence in my morning routine in place of my toner step. I find that because this essence absorbs really quickly, you don’t need to take time to pat it in and make sure it absorbs. A few pats are all I need for my skin to drink up all the hydration so that I can quickly move onto my other skin care steps. This definitely saved me lots of time during the days I wake up late and am in a hurry. And the sweet scent makes me look forward to applying this essence in the mornings! I also notice that ever since using this essence, the redness around my nose faded, which is a definite plus for me!“ — Tracy, Graphic Designer
5Whamisa Organic Flowers Toner (Deep Rich)
What is it: A deeply hydrating toner that uses an aloe vera base plus the power of organic and fermented ingredients. Pat gently with your hands or a cotton pad.
Review: “Lately I notice my skin getting dry from the colder weather we’re experiencing. So I’ve been using this toner for my day and night routines, and I absolutely love it! I usually pat in two layers after cleansing, and I find it sooo hydrating and nourishing for my skin! Not only is the pink packaging super adorable, but it also smells like heaven!” — Claire, Video Editor
4Laneige Cream Skin
What is it: With the help of skincare tech, this toner doubles as a moisturizer for maximum hydration. Apply and pat gently after your cleansing routine.
Review: “My skin has been really dry recently, so when I incorporated the Laneige Cream Skin into my routine, I found it moisturizing and perfect for the colder days. After cleansing, I’ll layer on my Sioris mist and serum, pat in a layer of the Laneige Cream Skin, and seal with a moisturizer. The result is super smooth, glowing, hydrated, and happy skin!“ — Amber, Video Editor
3Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer
What is it: A moisturizing HA cream capable of locking in hydration for up to 72 hours. Apply twice daily on face and neck.
Review: “I always wanted to give this moisturizer a try, so when I found it for half-off on Black Friday, I knew this was a great opportunity! I absolutely love how this fluffy moisturizer feels on my skin. True to the product, it’s really hydrating, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave a greasy or sticky residue. I’m really happy I got to try it on sale!” — Lucy, Motion Graphics Animator
2Eczema Honey Nourishing Lip Balm
What is it: Simple to-go balm enriched with a honey + oil blend to nourish and smooth dry, chapped lips. Put in your pocket or purse and use daily.
Review: “As much as I like the incoming cold weather, it’s also the time for my skin to go haywire with eczema flare ups and chapped lips. As I noticed my lips flaking, peeling, and burning despite applying layer after layer of my usual lip balm, I knew I needed a change. And as someone whose lips are sensitive, this balm is my new holy grail! I absolutely love how this is made with skin-nourishing ingredients like mango butter, honey, and colloidal oatmeal! The balm itself has a slightly ‘sandy’ texture that melts into a beautiful oil and gives a refreshing minty sensation! Best of all, my lips are no longer chapped and burning, which is what I really appreciate!” — Deb, Beauty Editor + Video Editor
1Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water For Sensitive Skin
What is it: This all-in-one formula cleanses the face while gently removing makeup – giving your nightly cleanse a unique touch. Using a saturated cotton pad, press firmly and wait a few seconds before swiping.
Review: “I used to go crazy with the makeup wipes! But after my sister let me try this micellar water for the first time, I was instantly hooked! I use it daily before cleansing to get rid of any makeup, sunscreen, or overnight debris. This product is such a great pick for all my fellow sensitive skin friends, because it works amazingly without the need to scrub. Even better, it’s fragrance-free! Highly recommend! — Isabel, Beauty Editor
