BEST SKINCARE PRODUCTS OF 2020
Hi! My name is Dawn and I'm obssessed with skincare. Here, I've gathered all my favorite skincare products. Some of these have large cult followings while others just aren't recognized enough. There are some insanely expensive products as well as more affordable ones. If you click on any of the pictures or the name of the product, you will be led to the product page, where you can purchase the product. I hope you find this useful, and most important of all, drink lots of water!
Best Cleansers
Farmacy Green Clean
Green Clean is an oil-based cleanser. It is a popular product used as the first step of the double cleansing technique where you first cleanse with an oil-based cleanser, balm, or micellar water, followed by a water-based cleanser. It removes any buildup acquired throughout the day.
$34
Youth to the People Superfood cleanser
This Youth to the People Cleanser is filled with great antidioxidants for your skin. The ingredients are emphasized on the front of the bottle: kale, green tea, and spinach. It certainly does not disappoint, deeply cleansing your skin while leaving it hydrated.
$36
Amore Pacific Treatment Enzyme Exfoliating Powder Cleanser
Exofoliating while cleansing...While you cleanse your face, you're also exfoliating. It contains papaya and green-tea derived enzymes to brighten dull skin. Although it is in powder form, it isn't too harsh and is gentle enough to use everyday.
$60
Best Toners
Ole Henriksen Balancing Force Oil Control Toner
As it says in the name, this Ole Henriksen toner controls oil production. Like the COSRX toner, it contains both AHAa and BHAs. It's a tiny bit more expensive than the COSRX toner. However, there is a eucalyptus and peppermint smell to it, so if you don't like to feel like you're putting essential oils on your face, this toner probably isn't for you.
$29
SK-II Facial Treatment Essence
And my favorite brand, SKII. This is an essence, but essence and toner are essentially the same thing. It has won numerous awards, such as Glamour's 2020 beauty award. With this in mind, this essence definetely does not come cheap. The mini version is $99, with 75 ml of product. The normal 160ml bottle is $185.
$185
Best Serums
It'S SKIN Power 10 Formula Effector VC
This serum is formulated with vitamin C. Vitamin C is used to brighten skin and reduce the appearance of dark spots, acne scars, and things of that sort. It is light and absorbs easily into your skin without clogging pores.
$26
COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
The thought of putting snail slime on your face probably grosses some people out, but snail mucin is said to hydrate skin and also has antimicrobial properties. If you use this at night, you'll wake up with glowing skin. Personally, it hasn't completely cleared my face of acne, but many people claim snail mucin has completely cleared their skin of acne because of the antimicrobial properties.
$23
Best Moisturizers
Tatcha The Water Cream
Tatcha's water cream is oil-free, making it perfect for people prone to acne. It contains Japanese Wild Rose and Leopard Lily, which help to tighten your skin and decrease oil production. It also contains Hadasai 3, which is made of grean tea, rice, and algae. If you're feeling a little fancy, there's also a little bit of 23 karat gold for extra glow.
$68
Saturday Skin Waterfall Glacier Water Cream
I usually don't like to use moisturizers, but this Saturday Skin cream is light and gel-like. At first, it's heavy but once it absorbs, it feels like there's nothing on your face, but it's really hydrated. This is also another product that definetely does it's job well for the price.
$39
Best Sunscreens
SUPERGOOP! Unseen Sunscreen SPF40
SUPERGOOP! sunscreen also has a lot of loyal followers. It has a white color but leaves no white cast. It's perfect for putting right under your foundation.
$34
SUPERGOOP! 100% Mineral Invincible Setting Powder
Another SUPERGOOP! product. This one's a setting powder. While I would still use a liquid sunscreen, this works as an extra layer of protection. You need to use a setting powder anyways right? You can also use this to touch up throughout the day.
$30
Best Eye Products
Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Eye Creme
Most people's undereye problems are their wrinkles and dark eye circles. As I mentioned before, vitamin c brightens, meaning less dark circles. It also contains collagen, which hydrates and gets rid of wrinkles.
$39
WANDER BEAUTY Baggage Claim Eye Masks
These eye masks do everything that the above cream does, but also decreases puffiness. They come in packs of six for $25, or $5 for a single pair, in either gold or rose gold. Both the colors are really pretty.
$25
KNESKO SKIN Diamond Radiance Collagen Eye Masks
These eye masks are perfect to use on the day of your big party or event. They instantly depuff your eyes and minimize the appearance of your dark circles and wrinkles. Some celebrities have been said to use this right before their red carpet appearances. However, one pair costs $16, or you can get a pack of 6 for $60 and save $36.
$60
Best Masks
GLAMGLOW GravityMud
This mask is meant to firm and tighten your skin. It's made from marshmallow and licorice extracts. It's also chrome! If you're looking for a unique mask, this one's for you.
$59
SK-II Facial Treatment Mask
And to top off the list of the best products of 2020, the SK-II Facial Treatment Mask. I've already mentioned another one of their products on this list, but they really work miracles. This mask leaves you with a glow to die for. There are 6 sheet masks in a pack, like most other masks that come in packs.
$95
