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. -

This Eye Butter contains a sunflower seed oil rich in both Vitamin A and E to help protect the thinner, delicate skin around your eye, and peptides to also keep those fine lines away.
The eye butter is such a nice lightweight eye cream. I love that it doesn't feel super rich and heavy yet is adequately emollient. It is the perfect balance to keep the eye area hydrated! This eye cream spreads very easy on the skin and and absorbs relatively quick into the skin. It doesn't leave any residue on the skin. Very little product goes a long way!
These products are vegan and also fragrance-free.

I have been searching for the perfect eye cream and a depuffing serum because toddler life equals dark circles and puffiness all the time.
The Eye Awakening Gel contains caffeine and a red bean extract that target dark circles and help to de-puff those eyes!
The eye gel is more of a thinner, watery gel consistency and a small pump is more than enough product for both eyes. Because it is a rather runny consistency, I generally pump product onto the back of my hand, and from there, dab onto my under eye, as needed.
I often wake up with puffy under eyes and the gel is amazing for reducing that puffiness and helping me look refreshed. When applied to the skin, it has a soothing and cooling feeling.
I really like that came in a bottle with a pump, as opposed to a pot, as it feels more sanitary this way. This product is vegan and also fragrance-free, which I love because my eyes are sensitive to fragrance, as well I also get eczema frequently around my eyes and fragrance can trigger it.

This moisturizer is a really rich formulation that blends like a dream into the skin, so it doesn't leave any stickiness or greasiness. It's not quite a whipped, balm like texture, but definitely has a thicker consistency. It has the richness closer to what you'd expect from a night cream; however, without the heaviness and manages to maintain lightweight. It might be a bit too rich for those with oilier skin types, but for my dry, sensitive skin friends, this one is spot on.
This cream is infused with yeast-derived Beta Glucan, which helps to strengthen the skin's natural moisture barrier.
This cream is also fragrance free, which is such a need when it comes to dealing with my fragrance-triggered eczema-prone skin.

The Raw Sauce is a 3-in-1 toner, emulsion, and essence product and meant to achieve more hydrated and dewy-looking skin. It is made with 93% maple tree sap, fructan powder, and herbal & fruit extracts.
This 3-in-1 product is meant to tone, hydrate, and balance the skin's pH post-cleanse. I love using this as a step before moisturizing during the day and in the evening as well because I find this helps boost the moisture in my skin and really help lock in that hydration because my skin is so dehydrated!
Also worth noting, this product is lightly fragranced, but once it's on my face, I don't really smell much of anything and it didn't anger my skin, so that's a win for me. Fragrance is always 50/50 with my skin and eczema.

The Perricone MD Essential Fx Acyl-Glutathione Rejuvenating Moisturizer is a decent moisturizer if you can get over the smell of it.
Like a lot of Perricone MD products, this product has a strong scent, not necessarily super fragranced, but the smell of their products are definitely not for everyone. This particular moisturizer smells like a combination of a citronella candle and something really herby.
The main ingredients in this moistruizer help to reduce the look of deep wrinkles, fine lines, etc. by replenishing fragile skin, restore suppleness, and improve the skin's moisture barrier.
It is rich and has a slightly cloud-like texture, but isn't heavy and absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving behind no stickiness. When applied, this moisturizer makes the skin feel immediately refreshed, as it feels cool and soothes the skin.
