In this review, I am spilling the tea on an underrated, budget-friendly gem that’s basically the star of hydration. Some even call it the dupe for the famous Rhode Glazing Milk. Yep, you guessed it, Byoma’s Hydrating Milky Toner.

Ever felt like your skin is dry, irritated, broken, and just not looking its best? If so, you’re not alone, we have all been there. Chances are, you might have damaged your skin barrier and now you want to know how to repair a damaged skin barrier. Your skin barrier can act up for many reasons.

Why the need to know how to properly cleanse your face? Is there really a science behind it, or is it just another information overload? Not all cleansing is created equal. Overwashing, underwashing, barrier damage, wrong cleanser? these all happen when you don’t know the right way to wash your skin properly.

Peace Out Acne Dots are hydrocolloid patches infused with active ingredients to tackle breakouts overnight. They contain salicylic acid, retinol, and aloe vera, which dives deep into the pores to take on blemishes and blackheads head-on.

Cicaplast Balm b5 is almost everyone’s favorite right now, everywhere on TikTok, living rent-free on your feed. You have definitely seen skinfluencers smearing this one all over their faces like it’s some white liquid gold whether they are slugging for that glass-skin glow, caressing a damaged skin barrier, soothing bug bites, or dealing inflamed, irritated skin.

You know that tight, flaky feeling when your skin just won’t cooperate, no matter how much moisturizer you apply? That’s dry skin. It’s basically when your skin is not holding onto enough moisture so it ends up feeling rough, looking dull, and sometimes even cracking. A big giveaway that you have dry skin is when you wash your face, wait about 30 minutes without applying anything, and your skin starts to feel tight, dry, and maybe even flaky.

Ole Henriksen’s Banana Bright Eye Cream is meant to target dull under-eyes with its potent ingredients, and its not just any eye cream, it’s their best-selling and award-winning vitamin C-packed little jar of goodness that people swear by for brightening dull under-eye areas. And yes it actually works for dark circles while also giving you that flawless concealer base.

The Peace Out Retinol Eye Stick isn’t just any product. It’s literally their best-seller for a reason. According to their website, this tiny but mighty stick is designed to tackle tired eyes, hydrate fine lines, fade dark circles, smooth out wrinkles, and even target milia.

Post-wash, I didn’t feel any tightness or over-stripping on my T-zone. In fact, Cetaphil oily skin cleanser left me with a solid cleansing experience. Anytime my T-zone started getting shiny or I noticed blackheads popping up, I’d just grab this cleanser and use it for three nights in a row without a second thought.

Laneige Water Sleeping Mask claims to brighten and hydrate the skin. It’s basically a leave-on treatment that you apply at nighttime after your cream and rinse off in the morning. If you’ve ever tried the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask, the Laneige Water Sleeping Mask feels pretty similar in texture, it’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t feel heavy or sticky.
