This is where I talk about some of the beauty products I've been loving lately... these products are all cruelty-free and formulated without any questionable ingredients.

I'm all about hydrating cleansers and this one from Peach & Lily with a  gentle, pH 5.5, sulfate-free calming botanical formula of camelia, chamomile, and cucumber works effortlessly to deep clean, hydrate, soothe, all while protecting the skin barrier is a very good one. I like the lightweight feel and how it cleans and balances without any stripping or irritation leaving my skin cleansed and refreshed.
$29 (3.38 fl oz / 100 mL) at Ulta BeautyPeach & Lily (Get $10 off your first order of $60)

This 4-in-1 super serum is designed to firms, brightens, plumps, and hydrates while conditioning skin over time. Sustainably created via fermentation, vegan collagen is a clean alternative to traditional collagen that helps to improve skin firmness and elasticity. I've been using this silky gel-like serum over my actives (retinal and vitamin C) and I really like how it layers while imparts a dewy radiance and dewy smooth moisture. I bought mine at 50% off but I think it's price is worth the results.
$46 (1 fl oz / 30 mL) at SephoraCredo BeautyNordstrom

This award winning serum features an expertly stabilized potent mix of vitamin C (15% L-ascorbic acid), vitamin E, ferulic acid, and hyaluronic acid for unmatched antioxidant protection to reduce lines and wrinkles, protect skin against UV and environmental damage. I've used and reviewed many vitamin C skincare products and I will say that this serum is pleasant to use and effective. I like the light water-like texture which absorbs easily and feels nourishing. I have noticed a visible radiance since I've been using this. A quality vitamin C serum at an affordable price.
$32.95 (1 fl oz / 30 mL) at MAELOVEAmazon

I never did get around to trying the OG version of this cult favorite but the reformulated version of this vegan, hydrating and fragrance-free face mask works to nourish and soothe skin. The enhanced formula features niacinamide to balance and calm, glycerin and hyaluronic acid to plump, and antioxidants to help promote healthier looking skin. This multi-tasking product can be used as a moisturizer, face mask or even an in-flight treatment. I received a deluxe sample of this as this year's Sephora birthday gift and loved it so much that I already purchased a full sized tube. It's good as a moisturizer or mask but I actually like using it most as a sleeping mask
$26 (1 fl oz / 28 g) at  Sephora, Summer Fridays, Amazon

This multi-purpose balm formulated with just seven ingredients including castor oil, aloe vera and vitamin E is clinically proven to repair and moisturize the skin. It is fragrance free, EWG VERIFIED and has received the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance. This thick salve is great for use on dry areas of the body and face. I appreciate the clean ingredients and the convenient tube tube made with 50% post consumer recycled plastic that can be recycled.
$12 (1 fl oz / 30 mL) at Ulta BeautyCredo Beauty

The gel cleanser sounds great, I'd definitely like that too.
Serums are good for the skin. Thanks for the reviews.
