A tiny dime sized dollop is all that's really needed to cleanse your face.
It has a gel like consistency and doesn't have a ton of lather or foam up when cleansing.
It contains 3% oat kernel oil which helps your skin maintain your skin barrier; and 1% colloidal oatmeal which helps to reduce redness and soothe irritation.
This cleanser did not leave my skin feeling overcleansed and tight, when using this to remove makeup or SPF at the end of the day. I found it worked for me best this way. In the mornings, I generally stick to a milk cleanser because my skin is on the drier side to begin with.
I love that this cleanser is fragrance free, vegan, cruelty free, and a really affordable option!

I generally am a strictly butter only baker especially when it comes to pastry because just can't achieve the same flakiness without it, but I recently had the opportunity to try out the Becel with Oat Beverage margarine.
I ended up making a batch of chocolate chip cookies because who doesn't like chocolate chip cookies?
Margarine is not nearly as firm as butter, so I did chill my cookie dough for a good 45 minutes to avoid my cookies all spreading and becoming one in the oven. Overnight probably would have been better, but who can wait that long? 😂
Overall, the cookies turned out soft and chewy and I wouldn't have known it was not butter, because I prefer making soft and chewy cookies when I use butter.
This margarine is pretty tasty on its own, so if you are looking for a healthier alternative to butter, this might be a great option. This margarine is made with oat milk and therefore, plant based, low in saturated fat, and it is also gluten free, so if that's you, this might be a good option!

I love starting the day with the Cleansing Almond Milk because my skin is dry and generally when I wake up, I prefer something light, nourishing, & soothing.
The main ingredients in this cleanser are: Almond oil and castor oil, cornflower water, and polyphenol. The Almond oil helps to nourish and keep your skin soft. The cornflower water soothes. And the polyphenol are rich in antioxidants and hydrating.
This cleansing milk doesn't have a ton of lather, and is very lightly fragranced. This cleanser is perfect dor dry and sensitive skin, as it soothes and hydrates, as opposed to strip your skin of natural oils. And it is also gentle enough to used around the eyes as well.

The eye cream is a very lightweight cream that melts into the skin effortlessly. Fresh out of the tube, it is on the thicker side.
The primary ingredients: tetrapeptide complex to target dark circles and puffiness, centella to reduce the look of fine lines, and camellia seed oil to nourish the eye area.
I have to say after giving this eye cream a 2 week run, despite living an often sleep-deprived, always on the go life, you wouldn't be able to tell that byooking at me if I did t tell you because I have no puffiness and massive bags under my eyes.
I appreciate these products came in brown glass bottles meant to filter out uv light that can break down the active ingredients. I also really loved that this eye cream came in a pump bottle. I prefer eye creams to come in a tube or packaging with a pump like this as opposed to in a open jar in which you stick your fingers into. It feels more sanitary this way.
And if all that isn't impressive enough, these products are 100% natural, vegan, cruelty-free, & gluten free.

Usually, the words detox are enough to send me running because I associate detox with deep cleansing, harsh, but the Grown Alchemist Detox Serum is none of these things.
The primary ingredients: antioxidant complex in this serum helps to neutralize free radicals, niacinamide to support the skin barrier and help with redness, and panthenol has soothing benefits.
It is a lightweight gel formula with a slightly viscous liquid consistency and somewhere between a pump or 2 is the perfect amount of product for my face. Initially, it feels slightly sticky, but after you give it a minute or 2, it is fully absorbed and your skin feels amazing! No greasiness or residue left behind, but your skin feels so smooth, supple, and soft.

This serum is a total game changer for my routine. As I have sensitive and temperamental skin due to eczema, my skin's needs change day to day, even throughout the day.
This serum contains 4 smart actives that activate and take care of your concerns with hydration, brightening, firming, and soothing irritated skin at any given time.
This serum has a thin, creamy texture and melts into the skin effortlessly. Typically, a pump to pump and a half is enough product for my face. You are supposed to allow one minute for absorption, but before the minute is up, it is well absorbed into my skin without any trace. It doesn't leave any sticky residue on the surface of the skin.
My skin has never felt better; In part because I keep a very consistent routine, but I like to also think that this serum also contributed to firmer and more hydrated skin, and less eczema flareups. This serum is quite versatile because the actives in this serum activate, as needed, so there's no need to rotate between various products, since this one will cater to whatever my skin's needs are on any given day.
I loved that this product comes in a pump bottle because it feels more sanitary. As well, this product contains less than 1% of synthetic fragrance. However, I could really only smell the fragrance if I was purposefully smelling the product pumped to the back of my hand before application. I appreciate this, as fragrance often trigger my eczema.

This moisturizer contains multi-peptides that support healthy collagen to keep that skin smooth and supple, as well as both Vitamin C and Green Tea!
The texture is quite thick and very rich. However, it does spread on the skin quite nice, and while it takes a few minutes to fully absorb into the skin, once it does, it doesn't feel greasy or heavy.
I don't have any real wrinkles, but for sure am definitely starting to get a couple fine lines and maintaining my skin is definitely important! This moisturizer feels comfortable on the skin and leave my skin feeling soft and smooth!
One notable thing about this moisturizer is that it does have quite a strong lavender scent and is fragranced with a natural fragrance oil. The scent does dissipate after application.

I have dry and very sensitive skin and at first, I was hesitant to try this cleanser! For whatever reason black facial cleanser sounded like a harsh, detoxifying product to me because that is what I associate pore cleansing to, but thankfully, this cleanser is the complete opposite of that.
It is a relatively mild cleanser that helps balance your skin's pH level. It has a cream and foam type formula, and is both vegan and fragrance free.
When cleansing a dime sized dollop was enough product to properly wash my face. This cleanser is relatively gentle and it didn't leave that squeak that you often get when a cleanser has over stripped your skin's natural oils!
My face felt soft, and refreshed as opposed to overcleansed and tight! Because my skin is dry, prone to eczema freaking and generally, sensitive, I like to stick to cleansers that are on the milder end of the pH scale, as milder cleansers generally help to preserve the skin's natural skin barrier, so this cleanser is perfect for that ultra dry, easily irritated eczema prone, sensitive skin!

I live in a dry climate; my skin type is so dry and prone to eczema flareups, so calming and hydrating ampoules are not new to my routine. I love including them to give my skin an extra boost of hydration!
The one I had been using was discontinued a while back, so I have been searching for a decent replacement and this ampoule might be it!
The Hydra Enriched Ampoule by Wishtrend contains70% Polysaccharides extracted from Aloe, malachite extract, and wkin conditioner made up of vegetable proteins
I use this after cleansing and toning and depending on how my skin is that day, may use it both in the AM and PM.
Once it has been patted into the skin and full absorbed, there is no stickiness or residue on the skin. It does have a slight cool feeling during applied, and soothes the skin.
I have noticed that my skin is feeling a lot less tight, flaky, and dry than usual. And all around just feels healthier! This definitely is a contender for the ampoule gap I'm looking to fill in my routine.
Like a lot of kbeauty, this product is vegan, and does not contain any fragrance.

I love that this mask is a jelly mask that is quite forgiving, as I often struggle with sheet masks not quite fitting my face. This mask also stayed on my face, so that I was able to do various things while masking! This mask is saturated with essence and left my skin fully nourished! Even after I removed the mask, my face felt quite stick, so I spent few more moments patting it into the skin, so it was fully absorbed. Any excess Essence left in the package, I used on my neck and decolettage. -
