"I got the big size in a particular shade and felt like my skin was a lot more greasy after using it. I tried mixing it with the Water Powder Serum like people recommended and even tried the universal colorless version, but it was the same thing: it made my skin more greasy and it clogged my pores. This product broke me out. I know it's a cult favorite and works for some people with oily skin, but if you're acne-prone you have to be very careful with it. If you want to try it, start with a small size before committing to a bigger one because it's not cheap."

"This easy blur and easy bake combo I would always highly recommend because I'm always happy with the finish that I get when I pair the two of them together. The goal for this look for me is never to have like very high definition when it comes to certain parts of my face. It's actually the opposite of that. You guys can even see when you look closely that I still have some of my hyperpigmentation coming through. The ones around my forehead, the ones down the sides of my nose, they're still there. And it's because like especially in daylight, I wish you guys could see this makeup in daylight, but in daylight it looks very minimal. I love it a lot."

"This product went so viral in 2024, everybody and their mamas were talking about it, and it was targeted at people with oily skin who are prone to breakouts. My skin was acting up when I gave it a try, and it broke me out. I used it for about two weeks and it left my skin worse than it met it. Instead of removing things from my pores, it put things into mine, and I got a lot of clogged pores and closed comedones in places I typically don't break out. This product has worked for some people, so I don't think everybody's lying, but if you're acne-prone I'd consider micellar water first before jumping on oil cleansers."

"When I ran out of my usual benzoyl peroxide gel, I switched to this and it did nothing for my acne. My issue with CeraVe in general is that their products contain a lot of ceramides, and the humectants and other ingredients they use can make it so the product doesn't give you the results you need. I bought about four of these because I couldn't believe benzoyl peroxide wasn't working, but the formulation is why it wasn't working. I would not recommend this and don't think it was worth it."

"I always just go grab this. It's always in the supermarket, you can always get it from retailers. It's fragrance-free, it's non-foaming, and designed for sensitive skin. Sometimes sensitive skin cleansers are too rich for oily skin girls, but this one strikes the right balance. It doesn't clog pores, it doesn't cause breakouts. When I say I used this between 2018 and 2019, the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser was my cleanser. If you've been hesitant to try this because it doesn't say 'for oily skin' on the packaging, don't worry, it works."

"I actually get by with using the Clinique cleansing balm because I wasn't using it back to back all the time. I don't wear makeup every day. I went through a phase last year where I had to wear makeup every day, and I was breaking out in areas where I don't typically break out, and then I realized that the cause was actually the Clinique cleansing balm. So I think if you use it occasionally, you're good. If you use it constantly every day, then it could clog your pores."

"I currently use Bioderma Sebium H2O for double cleansing. It removes everything without the heavy greasy residue sometimes that you would get with micellar water. The one for oily skin I would highly highly highly recommend. I always have it on my dressing table or in the area where I get ready or do my skincare in the morning. It works great. It gets the job done. It's not heavy on the skin. In addition to all of this, it's very gentle and effective and doesn't disrupt your skin."

"This lip pencil by Huda Beauty is the best lip pencil I think I have ever used in my life and this is my second pencil. It's very creamy, it's very nice. It will give your lips a very nice contour, define your lips very very well. It's just so easy, so it's highly highly recommended for beginners. Lip pencil gives you control, it will help you control whatever lip color you apply, it will give you boundaries and borders."

"I go in with concealer and I use this to define my brows. I really, really love the NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer. It gives you time to blend, especially if you're a beginner and you're worried that your concealer might dry really quickly -- it will give you time to apply precisely and then blend out. If you're not sure what shade to use for this, I recommend going about one to two shades lighter than your actual skin tone. I also apply a lighter shade of the same concealer in my inner corner, and on my outer corner I use the same shade I used to define my brows. Blending everything in creates a very nice gradient and gives my eyeshadow a very nice base."

"I keep repurchasing it largely because of nostalgia and I used to use this back in secondary school. I think that it is so good. One thing I like about Irish Spring is the fresh fragrance that you get with it. It smells like heavenly in my opinion. It smells really good. And if you're someone who is looking for something to cleanse the body and also have a very nice fragrance linger afterwards, then consider Irish Spring."

"The ferulic in this just ensures that you don't purge. Some people still get purging with this regardless. I did not experience that at all. And the ferulic does not in any way make the retinol itself less potent or not as powerful as it should be. This is my favorite retinol hands down and I'm going to repurchase once I'm out. I've been using it for about 4 months now and I still have a lot of product basically."

"This is the Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Radiant Body Oil, this one is very very popular. However, it is more lightweight and it has a very nice scent. If you're going out and you want to oil your chest and oil your arms and your legs, this is a very very good oil to use. It will give you that shine and the sheen that you're after, it will condition your body, give you that glow that you want, but it will not feel greasy and sit on your skin. The weather has been a bit hot, so when I'm telling you guys that I'm enjoying this irrespective of the fact that the weather is hot, believe me, I really really love it."

"I like to finish it up with the La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-in Milk Sunscreen SPF 60, and this is because whether or not you're going outside, or even if you just get a little bit of sunlight sitting close to windows, whatever, you need sunscreen regardless. This one is very, very popular as well, but very, very good, most importantly because this does not break me out and it's invisible. It's not something that, you know, some of these sunscreens leave a white cast, and if you're not careful, if you apply sunscreen before you start doing your makeup you can actually change the color of your complexion products. This one does not do that."

"I personally love the one from The Ordinary, their 7% glycolic acid, their exfoliating toner. When I initially started using this product, I would use it as a toner for my face to get rid of like dead skin cells. But this product is such a powerhouse, guys. And I don't think that I'll stop recommending it anytime soon. So I use this on my face sometimes and I remember like I told you guys already that I had bumps on my chest. I used this product and it got rid of all those bumps. Now one part of the body where I think that people have spoken about this before, but just in case you've not heard, this is a very good product to use on your immediate underarms because if you use deodorant and you're just very active, we tend to actually accumulate dead skin cells in that area."

"I haven't received the Pixi Glow Tonic in a while, but this is gorgeous. I knew it, this is the iconic product, this is the toner of all toners, it's amazing. Once I am out of my current toner, I'm going back to this. As far as glycolic acid toners go, this one is really great. This is one of the best glycolic acid toners in the world, it is very very popular for a reason. So I'm going back to using this once I'm out of my current toner."

"For this I didn't really do anything fancy. I'll just say keep that area moisturized, like use Vaseline. If you have a hyperactive scar where you felt like the scar was overhealing and it wasn't flattening as quickly as you should, then maybe you should go and see a doctor for that. But for me, one thing I felt like helped me is just making sure that it wasn't dry. When I kept it moisturized, before you know it, it just healed and it flattened."

"If you're interested in trying really new things or you're interested in a perfume that you've not quite smelled anything like it like ever probably you should consider Amouage Guidance. Every time I use it there's always like you smell so different. One of the notes that you get with this is incense and I remember like I know what incense smells like, but for me the only place I'll smell incense is in church and I remember the first time that I smelled this I was like what is this and I never knew that incense could be in something I smell as good as it does outside of how I know incense to smell. This is so different there's something like almost mystical about this like it's crazy. There are just two types of people for this like you can stand it or you absolutely love it or you hate it but it's a very very good perfume."
