The cosmetics industry is saturated with products claiming to give you flawless skin. That is not the case with many products and many end up spending large sums of money on skincare products. Skincare is highly specific to ones lifestyle and skin type, but trying out new methods does not hurt. With celebrities like Kylie Jenner rolling out mediocre skincare products, its getting harder and harder to narrow down the holy grail products versus the average skincare in fancy packaging. Personally, I have dry skin that tends to get eczema quickly in the winter. If you have dry skin these products might just suit you. All of the products I use are impactful and very affordable. I do not wear any makeup or foundation in my day to day life and many tell me that my skin is near flawless. Good skincare does not have to be pricey, its all about what ingredients work for you, not brand labels and fancy packaging.
Night Cream - Olay Anti Wrinkle Night Cream - $12
I have been using this exact night cream for 2 years now. This cream is light and moist, it is not oily or heavy. It absorbs quickly and tightens your skin. It shrink pores and lightens blemishes. I guarantee you will wake up with more even toned and tight skin in the morning. The next morning you skin will physically feel tighter, try making some expressions in the mirror and you'll see what I mean. The look this cream gives is like flawless glass skin. This is a holy grail and I mean it. It costs around $12 at most stores including Walmart!

Moisture Cream - Cetaphil - $11
I know many people debunk Cetaphil quite often. You get a large tub of this cream for $11 at Target. It gets the job done quite frankly so I don't mind. It moisturizes just fine and you can use it on your face and whole body. I have eczema and this cream does hold it off for a while. I mostly use this cream as a base cream. I'll mix other products into it, such as more drying skincare products like Retinol for example. Its a really good neutral base for mixing skincare products.
Serum - The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% In Squalene - $6
This serum is pure retinol in squalene which is basically fish liver oil. Retinol is a derivative of Vitamin A that fights aging. Retinol prevents wrinkles, lines, and sagging. It is basically the ultimate substance used in millions of skincare products to fight aging. I love it in this serum the best. Many skincare products have retinol but with many other chemicals. The retinol in this serum is just retinol. The retinol is submerged in to fish liver oil. The oil has its own skin benefits, but mostly this combo prevents the potential skin drying retinols can cause. I started using this serum this year and this is also a holy grail product. You will wake up with even toned, lifted, and tight glass like skin. Retinol is a natural substance so it takes at least 6 months of consistent use for masisve results to appear. But you will see the start of minor improvements within a few days of use. It all depends on how far along with aging you are. Earlier better since it gives retinol time to fight off aging.
The Ordinary - Vitamin C Suspension With HA Spheres - $6
This formula refines the skin and evens out the overall skin tone. When you wake up the next morning, your skin will be more glass like and even toned. There will be a refreshing glow to the skin. I use this little cream every few days. It does sting a bit when you put it on, especially if you have dry skin. The stinging does subside and is worth the results.
These are all of the skincare products that I am using in my night routine currently. So far, all of these products have been working wonders for me. None of the products listed here are being sponsored or advertised. This is my authentic and unbiased review of these products as an everyday consumer. I hope you try them out and come to love them like me!
