It acts as a gentle cleanser on the skin which doesn&#8217;t dry out. Can be used to remove makeup &#8211; never really used it for that purpose but always as a second cleanser or as a morning cleanser. Suds up very well even with just a tiny amount.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sephora.com\/product\/green-clean-makeup-meltaway-cleansing-balm-P417238?skuId=1899103&amp;icid2=skugrid:p417238:product\">Farmacy Beauty &#8211; Green Clean Cleansing Balm<\/a> &#8211; $34 for 3.4 fl oz<ul><li>I have reviewed this cleansing balm quite a few times. By far the best! I would not purchase any other with my own money to replace this. Besides the fact I have only tried other Cleansing Oils and not Balms &#8211; when you find something you really love why replace it.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heyhoney.com\/products\/relax-propolis-honey-soothing-cream\">HeyHoney &#8211; Relax! Propolis &amp; Honey Soothing Moisturizer<\/a> &#8211; $3 for 0.34 fl oz (sample size)<ul><li>I have use multiple sample sizes of this moisturizer. It is such a great soothing moisturizer because it helps my morning redness and doesn&#8217;t pill with any sunscreen. It has this nice lightweight scent and texture &#8211; I really just can&#8217;t get over it. Soothing enough for the summer and winter use.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yesstyle.com\/en\/neogen-dermalogy-double-vita-drop-in-serum-50ml\/info.html\/pid.1100203426\">NeoGen &#8211; Double Vita Drop in Serum<\/a> &#8211; $24 for 1.69 fl oz<ul><li>The purpose of this serum is to brighten and hydrating your skin. I really enjoyed this Vitamin C serum a lot. It was not a potent level but enough to use throughout the summer and into fall. I definitely noticed my skin brighten and stay hydrated throughout the day. <\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yesstyle.com\/en\/dr-jart-vital-hydra-solution-biome-eye-cream\/info.html\/pid.1091993840\">Dr. Jart+ &#8211; Biome Eye Cream<\/a> &#8211; $30 for 0.67 fl oz<ul><li>By far the best eye cream I have ever used. I love a pump style which provides just enough product for my eye area. It brightens and hydrates &#8211; doesn&#8217;t irritate my eye at all. I haven&#8217;t found a good replacement just yet. <\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.h2oplus.com\/products\/hydration-oasis-creamy-foaming-cleanser\">H2O+ &#8211; Hydration Oasis Creamy Foaming Cleanser<\/a> &#8211; $28 for 4 fl oz<ul><li>As a hydrating cleanser it is really amazing. Doesn&#8217;t dry out my skin and a little goes a long way. If you put too much it might take a bit longer to wash off. Perfectly paired on nights that I use retinol. They do make a sensitive skin version so if you want something hydrating I would look into this one.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peachandlily.com\/collections\/peach-slices\">Peach Slices Sheet Masks<\/a> &#8211; $2.49 per Sheet Mask<ul><li>Strawberry &#8211; this one irritated my skin so I wasn\u2019t able to use it<\/li><li>Blueberry &#8211; didn\u2019t stay on my face properly kept sliding off so I trashed this as well.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/MEDIHEAL-G-T-Timetox-Essential-Mask\/dp\/B07PNPTP4V\">MediHeal EGT Timetox Ampoule Mask <\/a>&#8211; $2 per Sheet Mask &#8211; this was really nice I\u2019ve used it previously<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sephora.com\/product\/focuspot-blemish-micro-tip-patch-P442853\">Dr. Jart+ Focus Point Blemish Micro Tip Patch<\/a> &#8211; $18 for 6 patches &#8211; I enjoyed these patches for under skin bumps, the following morning it would disappear.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"haircare\"><a href=\"#haircare\">Haircare Empties:<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/AVEDA-Damage-Remedy-Repair-Treatment\/dp\/B00I455BUC\/ref=asc_df_B00I455BUC\/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=319064926756&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=17997525375157664817&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=1022698&amp;hvtargid=pla-340005858236&amp;psc=1\">Aveda &#8211; Damage Remedy <\/a>&#8211; $30 for 3.4 fl oz<ul><li>This was very liquidy over time. I had it a bit longer than expiration date. I enjoyed it a lot when I had color and heat damage. I just added as an additional layer to help.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drybar.com\/hot-toddy-heat-protectant-lotion\">Dry Bar &#8211; Hot Toddy<\/a> &#8211; $16 for 1.7 fl oz<ul><li>Most of my products have some heat protectant but I wanted to have extra.

I enjoyed this so much because I suffer year round itchy skin. Since I\u2019ve used it, I\u2019ve noticed less itchiness. It even helped with mosquitoes bites too.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Clindamycin Phosphate Lotion (doctor prescribed) $45 for 60ml<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yesstyle.com\/en\/pyunkang-yul-ato-lotion-blue-label\/info.html\/pid.1074952630\">Pyunkang Yul &#8211; ATO Lotion Blue Label<\/a> &#8211; $23 for 8.2 fl oz<ul><li>I loved this body lotion so much. It was unscented and not overly thick texture. The pump didn\u2019t work from day one unfortunately. It\u2019s okay I was able to empty it quickly. I\u2019d repurchase this.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cvs.com\/shop\/differin-gel-prodid-1190782\">Differin Gel &#8211; Adapalene Gel <\/a>&#8211; $16.49 for 0.5 oz<ul><li> Always use this to help keep my back acne at bay.
