What are your ACTUAL skincare HG products?

[clutchcaron]

Hey y’all! We’ve all seen those products that are all over Instagram or reddit, but I’d love to know what you guys actually can’t live without! Preferably geared towards acne prone skin, but all products are welcome! Mine are the Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser from Drunk Elephant and (oddly enough) the Stubborn Acne Control Pads from Clearasil. You can get them at CVS and stores like that. Thanks and happy shopping!

[clutchcaron]

Thank you everyone for the wonderful responses! Now I get to throw together a shopping list! Much love

@clutchcaron   Nothing nothing nothing nothing I have tried starts the skin clearing and refining process more quickly than or continues clarification than Alpha H's Beauty Sleep Power Peel.

It's especially useful when I've been lazy about skincare for a few days (or more) and need to jump start a new routine.  I've been using it for three years, I believe.

I also tried my first face mask two weeks ago.  My skin felt tight afterwards and a little irritated, but the next few days it was so clear, smooth and soft- Leader's Instant Recovery Brightening Mask.

Finally, another new product one of my kids and I love is Herbivore's Emerald Oil.  I used it after the Leaders Brightening Mask and it was a great combination of products.

Hi @clutchcaron,

This is such a hard question because I'm a skincare junkie and every single product in my skincare routine important. However, if I had to pick my HG items, here they are:

1.)FARMACY - Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm

I wear makeup pretty much everyday and I need a good cleanser to take everything off, including my two layers of mascara and long wearing lipstick. This cleanser easily removes everything off and it's even good for removing false lashes. 

2.) DRUNK ELEPHANT - Shaba Complex™ Firming Eye Serum

The first signs of aging show up under the eyes, so I always make sure I use eye cream on a daily basis (day and night). This one sinks right into my skin and looks great under makeup.

3.) SK-II Aging Skin Facial Treatment Essence with Antioxidants 5.4 oz/ 160 mL

I was skeptical about using an essence, but after adding one to my skincare routine, I've realized that using an essence consistently makes a difference. I'm on my fourth bottle and I've noticed my skin looks healthy. I'm also obsessed with their SK-II Brightening Serum Facial Treatment Sheet Masks 10 masks / pack .

4.) Every skincare routine needs a good mask for deep cleansing your skin. I absolutely love the Youth To The People Superfood Skin Reset Antioxidant Mask 2 oz/ 59 mL

Stay Gorgeous,

Penelope

I’ve been using the entire sephora skin collection since the launch! the glycolic pads are my favorite thing. They smooth out the skin for makeup prep!

[PenelopeBT]

I'm currently testing out the new SC All Day Hydrator Moisturizer and really love it. <333

@clutchcaron my go-to products are usually the simplest! I have sensitive skin and recently been struggling with adult acne (yay). I use the KIEHL'S SINCE 1851 - Ultra Facial Tonerand definitely could not live without it! I’ve also been loving the CAUDALIE - Vinoperfect Brightening Glycolic Essence

and the CAUDALIE - Vinopure Natural Salicylic Acid Pore Minimizing Serum.

cleansers and I have a love-hate relationship. What works for me today, May make my skin feel dry and tight tomorrow, so I don’t get too attached. I LOVE the SATURDAY SKIN - Waterfall Glacier Water Cream

Youth To The People Superfood Air-Whip Lightweight Face Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid 2 oz / 59 mL and The always reliable OLEHENRIKSEN - Sheer Transformation® Perfecting Moisturizer

i know these have alcohol and are also terrible for the face, but I use OXY deep pore cleansing pads with 2% salicylic acid for my body. I use one or two just on my shoulders and upper back at night to prevent any blackheads or pimples, especially now that it’s warmer out! I’d never use them on my face though, waaaaay too harsh!

For me, mine are:

- Sunday Riley Good Genes

- Drunk Elephant Babyfacial

- Drunk Elephant Protini

- Tatcha Camellia Cleansing Oil
