I love this post and am curious what you think about retinol! I recently discovered Marie Veronique and it has radically changed my life (I don't even need a moisturizer anymore??) because of these two products:

...however the cost is $$$ and I'd always prefer to find an alternative.

Ooh! So fancy. Haven't tried that brand before! I know retinol is the most important thing, but because of being pregnant + breastfeeding the past three years, I haven't been able to use it much at all! Insert wrinkly sob face. But a derm I trust recommends this: https://www.cvs.com/shop/cerave-skin-renewing-retinol-face-cream-serum-radiant-skin-1-oz-prodid-1140245 Much more affordable!

Love this post. Does the cleansing oil take off all your makeup?

YES! It's amazing at removing makeup and waterproof sunscreen. Highly effective.

Have you tried Beauty of Joseon sunscreen? Your post reminded me I'm running low and it took almost three weeks last time to be delivered. I love it.
