This cleansing lotion (insert product link here) has become a staple in my routine. Its lightweight texture melts away sunscreen and makeup effortlessly, leaving my skin feeling clean and refreshed, not tight or dry. It's also fragrance-free, which is a huge plus for my sensitive skin.

Makeprem is a hugely popular brand in Korea, consistently ranking high on Olive Young's bestseller lists, and for good reason. This cleansing lotion is incredibly gentle and effective. Even after cleansing, my skin doesn't feel stripped or tight. I also find it super convenient, especially when my hands are sticky and oily from applying sunscreen. Sometimes, even washing my hands with regular soap doesn't completely remove that residue, but this cleansing lotion erases it effortlessly.

However, this toner pad is a total game-changer. Unlike other toner pads I've tried, this one is incredibly gentle and hydrating. It doesn't irritate my skin at all, and it leaves my complexion feeling soft and smooth. The rice extract in the formula helps to brighten and even out my skin tone. (insert product link here)

The collagen in the formula helps to plump up my skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines. It's a must-have in my routine, especially during the colder months. (insert product link here)

These eye patches are incredibly soothing and hydrating, and they help to reduce puffiness and dark circles. They're a lifesaver, especially after a long night or when my eyes are feeling particularly tired. The hydrogel material adheres comfortably to the skin and allows the serum to penetrate deeply.
