Skincare Haul!! (affordable & popular brands alternatives)

Heeeey ...I got these things over the last few weeks and I wanted to show you guys and give a little review 😋 pls let me know if these hauls are fun and I will do more!!

Sorry it doesn't look very glamorous...I put everything on my washing machine to take this pic LOL

The products (Yesstyle links are affiliate):

1. Rohto Mentholatum - Skin Aqua Super Moisture UV Milk SPF 50+ PA++++ ~ https://ystyle.co/c63j I haven't taken this out of the packaging yet cuz the UV index lately has been 1 at the most 🍂❄️, but I have bought and used up entirely this sunscreen before and it is the best I have ever used 🩷!! Super lightweight, it doesn't feel or look greasy at all, it doesn't pill, and it is very moisturizing, you don't really have to use a moisturizer under this at all! It blends in very easily to the skin and it is a chemical sunscreen so it does not leave a white cast at all. It also gives you a lot of product for the price, let's do the math ✨ 40ml for $13.88, you need 1.25 ml (1/4 teaspoon) for your face, this sunscreen lasts a month (1.25 x 30 = 37.50 so a little longer than 30 days), they have another version that is bigger and lasts longer too, but that's such a good price for the amount!! Sunscreens can be suuuper expensive, so I will always be buying from this brand for sure
2. Beauty of Joseon - Radiance Cleansing Balm ~ https://ystyle.co/NjCm This cleanser is mainly a makeup remover, I got this because I was so tired of micellar water, it just doesn't get off my makeup, but this cleanser literally melts the makeup off!! It doesn't dry out my skin, but it is also not enough to cleanse your whole face, the packaging inside recommends cleansing your face a second time with something else too. It leaves my skin feeling really soft, it is super easy to wash off, I have no complaints and I will probably always buy this makeup remover
3. Garnier Skin Naturals Anti-Blackhead Peel-Off Mask ~ I got this cuz I am at my WITS END with my sebaceous filaments, I have tried everything 😭 I am currently using salicylic acid to cleanse my face and bakuchiol (retinol irritates me too much), these are the main things to combat the filaments but it's not doing enough and I have been trying for months now...I know every derm online says it doesn't work but I am so desperate I think I might get a pore vacuum next lol
4. SKIN&LAB - Bakuchiol Eye Serum  ~ https://ystyle.co/75YC I got this as an alternative to The Ordinary products, first of all as an alternative to retinol, and as an alt to their caffeine serum. Retinol is too irritating and I do not like the consistency of their caffeine serum, it is super sticky, it actually makes it too hard to open the bottle!! Plus, I don't want to spend money on getting these things separately, so I found this to be the perfect alternative. It has a metal ball you roll on your face, making it really soothing for the under eyes, it's been working so far!! I love the consistency of it!! I will be getting this again for sure
5. Vanicream - Vitamin C Serum ~ This is my favorite vitamin C serum because of its form. It comes in the THD Ascorbate form which is the least irritating, least stinky (usually vitamin C smells like hot dogs), and most effective of the ones in the "least irritating " category. For some reason it is the least popular kind on the market, just a handful of brands make vitamin C serums in the THD Ascorbate form, most are extremely expensive and this is the only affordable one!! I highly recommend it I will always be getting this one, it is a serum but it is milky and hydrating.
6. Garnier Pure Active Daily Cleansing Gel with Salicylic Acid ~ What can I say...it is a cleanser with Salicylic Acid lol it gets the job done and it is inexpensive...it is supposed to be for my sebaceous filaments, it's not like it doesn't work, but it just doesn't get rid of them, aside from that it is a super effective cleanser I like to pair with the Beauty of Joseon one after removing my makeup!!
