[Review] 2023 Skincare Empties
2023 Skincare Empties & Reviews
Skin Type: Sensitive, Dry, Eczema-Prone on face, KP on arms
Cleansers
- Cerave Hydrating Cream to Foam Cleanser - great for those lazy days because it also removes makeup, wouldn’t repurchase because I like the hydrating cream cleanser version better
- Lancôme Bi-Facial Eye Makeup Remover - removes all eye makeup, would only use if I got it as a free gift
- Tatcha Rice Wash 💛- surprising how much I liked this, would pick up during a sale
- Banila Co Clean It Zero 💛- HG status, would repurchase
- Dermatologica Special Cleansing Gel - nothing special, wouldn’t repurchase
- Cosrx snail mucin cleanser - great until I realized I was allergic to snail mucin
Scrubs
- Olay KP Bump Body Scrub - great drugstore option, about half the beads as the First Aid scrub
- First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub 💛- HG status, already repurchased a full size
Toners/Serums
- Cosrx BHA 💛 - very gentle, would repurchase
- Cosrx AHA 💛- HG status, already stocked up
- Cosrx Snail Mucin - great until I realized I was allergic to snail mucin
- Cosrx Hyaluronic Acid - great but wouldn’t repurchase. Already get HA from my cleanser and moisturizer
- Innisfree Green Tea Serum - nothing special
- La Roche Posay Vitamin C Serum - hated with a passion, wrecked my skin with cystic acne
- Evian Facial Spray - liked this for traveling to hydrate my face
Moisturizers (favorite category 😅)
- Neutrogena Hydroboost Extra Dry 💛- HG status, stocked up when I heard they were discontinuing it

Body Wash
