Spring is in full session which means it’s time to refresh my skincare routine. There are several products I like using year round but I do like to switch out products seasonally to cater to skin changes and needs. Also - as a beauty blogger, I test out quite a bit of skin care so parts of my skincare routine do change often. I switched out products a few weeks ago - some completely new to me, others I had used prior and added back to my routine. Below is a list of skincare products I currently rotate through my day and night skincare routine.
Products marked with * were sent for editorial consideration.
I know, I know. There is an extensive list of products here. Some products I use daily, others maybe a couple times a week or month. Others are products I have been testing out and like + want to continue using!
I have sensitive skin that’s a combination of dry and oily. I’m working on toning down redness and improving radiance + youthful skin. I have texture and pores - my nose is the epicenter of clogged pores. I do get some blemishes here and there.
I have a whole post on all things glowoasis here but their makeupmelt is a cleansing balm that gently cleanses skin and removes even the most long lasting of makeup products. I like using a cleansing balm like this as my first step in double cleansing. Double cleansing allows you to thoroughly cleanse skin by removing impurities and treating your skin with a cleanser that targets your skin type. Glowoasis is cruelty free and vegan
Precleanse is another option if you’re not a fan of cleansing balms. I have both types open for double cleansing. Precleanse does come with a pump if you have a preference for those. Dermalogica’s Precleanse is also really gentle while breaking down makeup and removing it. Like I mentioned above, I have sensitive skin and Precleanse has been amazing for me over the years.
Step two of double cleansing is using a cleanser that targets your skin type and sometimes also specific skin concerns. I have two cleansers I have open right now - one being Dermalogica’s Special Cleansing Gel. It’s perfect for sensitive skin and it’s one of those holy grail products for me where I have backups of my backups. Been using this for almost a decade - it’s so good! Special Cleansing Gel is cruelty free and vegan.
I recently started using a few medical grade skincare products and SkinBetter Science is the brand I’ve been trying. I am a huge fan of this Oxygen Infusion Was - it helps brighten skin and leaves it refreshed. You can use code Priyanka25 at Koniver Aesthetics Skincare Shop (linked above) for 25% off your order!
SkinBetter Science is cruelty free.
There are a couple exfoliators open in my skincare stash right now - one of them being another holy grail, Dermalogica’s Microfoliant. This is fine powder you add water to each time you use it. Microfoliant is gentle enough to use daily to exfoliate to remove dead skin cells + improve texture. Like Special Cleansing Gel, Dermalogica’s Microfoliant is also one of my holy grails I’ve been using for years. Daily Microfoliant is cruelty free and vegan.
I received this Mineral Exfoliator as a press sample and am so close to using it all up! I really enjoy Blue Lagoon’s Mineral Exfoliator - I use it 1-2 times a week in between my other exfoliator. It does a good job at removing dead skin cells and leaving skin smooth. Blue Lagoon Mineral Exfoliator is cruelty free and vegan.
These exfoliating peel pads are pretty strong so I only use them 1-2 times a week. These pads leave skin smooth and bright - bye bye texture! You can use code Priyanka25 at Koniver Aesthetics Skincare Shop (linked above) for 25% off your order!

Milkdew quickly became a favorite toner of mine - it balances and nourishes skin and also gives a boost of radiance! I love how gentle it is and how nourishing it feels the second I apply it.
Glowoasis is cruelty free and vegan.
This essence is in my top 3 favorite essences. It hydrates skin so well + brightens skin and feels amazing on skin. I’ve been using this for a few years now.
Neogen Real Ferment Micro Essence is cruelty free.
I remember trying Liquid Collagen when it first launched and I’ve had it in my skincare collection ever since! This vegan collagen serum has been life changing for me - leaving my skin soft, supple, and radiant. Algenist has a ton of other amazing products, I listed my favorites here!
Algenist Liquid Collagen is vegan.
There are two serums from SkinBetter I have in my skincare routine. The first one is the Alto Defense Serum which helps reduce redness and improves skin tone. I use this typically in the AMs and switch to the other serum in the evenings if I’m not using Liquid Collagen.

AlphaRet Clearing Serum is meant to be used in the evenings - AlphaRet is a patented retinoid technology. This serum helps with clearing pores for blemish free skin. It also helps with skin clarity and texture. You can use code Priyanka25 at Koniver Aesthetics Skincare Shop (linked above) for 25% off your order!

This treatment hydrates skin, improves radiance and smoothness, and also improves the look of fine lines and dryness. I’ve been using this for over a month now and really like what it’s done for my skin so far. You can use code Priyanka25 at Koniver Aesthetics Skincare Shop (linked above) for 25% off your order!

Algenist sent this to me when it first launched last year and knowing how much I love so many other Algenist products, I had high hopes. This eye renewal balm does not disappoint - I use it every morning and night and has helped with my under eye puffiness and brightens my under eyes as well.
Triple Algae Eye Renewal Balm is vegan.
This cream is also a newer launch - Skyn Iceland launched this earlier this year and I immediately rotated it into my routine. I’ve been using it consistently for several weeks now and love it so much. It deeply nourishes skin and balances it for brighter, more youthful looking skin. I like it especially because it doesn’t feel greasy or heavy.
Skyn Iceland is cruelty free.
I use this 3-4x a week in the evenings. This mask/moisturizer helps protect skin from blue light - which is what our skin is exposed to when we look at screens - think your phone, laptop, etc. As someone whose job relies a ton on screen time and also someone who spends her free time watching TV, reading e-books, and scrolling through Pinterest - my skin is exposed to a LOT of blue light. I like that this product from GoodHabit is formulated specifically to protect skin from blue light exposure.
Rest+Reset Mask & Moisturizer is cruelty free and vegan.
Last but not least - the sunscreen I have in my skincare routine right now! It’s from SkinBetter Science and has SPF75 and a hint of color. It’s also tone adapting and non greasy. You can use code Priyanka25 at Koniver Aesthetics Skincare Shop (linked above) for 25% off your order!
SkinBetter Science is cruelty free. I have a list of other sunscreen recommendations here!
