[Review] My first year of skincare reviewed!

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I have used skincare in the past but only the very basics, this year I got really serious about it and my skin has improved so much! Most of the products I've been using for almost the whole year.For reference my skin is normal and not acne prone, and my goals were to moisturize, brighten, and even my skin tone.Cleansers:CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser (3/5 stars) - It's nice. I use it when my skin is feeling extra irritable, but I don't like the film it leaves and have other things I enjoy more.Pixi by Petra + Caroline Hirons Double Cleanse (5/5 stars) - The best makeup remover I've found so far. It's so gentle, calming, and effective and really leaves my skin very hydrated. I love it! Will repurchase.Moisturizers:Teddie Organics Rosehip Seed Essential Oil (5/5 stars) - I love this oil so much!! It helped reduce the very fine lines I have around my eyes and just makes my skin glow like nothing else. I love it alone or mixed in with other products I'll mention. I got this off of Amazon and would definitely repurchase!Pacifica Wake Up Beautiful Mask (3/5 stars) - I prefer to use this as a heavier moisturizer rather than a mask and enjoy it mixed in with a little bit of the rosehip oil mentioned above. It makes my face a little tight on its own and it's not my favorite overall, so I would not repurchase.Farmacy Honey Drop Moisturizer (4/5 stars) - I really enjoy this moisturizer! I like using it on days I want something that will hydrate but also will soak in really quickly. The smell is a bit odd but it disappears quickly. I would repurchase this.Farmacy Sleep Tight Firming Night Balm (5/5 stars) - I really enjoy this. It makes my skin so plump and firms it a little bit (although I don't need much because I'm only 20) and just makes it so moisturized. I love the consistency and texture and feel luxurious applying it. The smell is pleasant and I feel it's really effective. I would like to repurchase but don't know if I will because it's quite expensive.Actives:Nip + Fab Exfoliate Glycolic Fix Night Pads Extreme (4/5 stars) - I really like these pads! I just wanted to even out texture and I feel like they really helped with making my skin smooth and even without being too harsh. I only use these about twice a week. I would repurchase but I'd like to try other things first :)Masks:Fresh Vitamin Nectar Vibrancy-Boosting Face Mask (2/5 stars) - I feel like this does absolutely nothing, especially for the price and it is very annoying to apply and wash off. I would not repurchase.Mask First Impressions (only got a chance to use them once):Farmacy Honey Potion Mask - Had a super thick consistency and was hard to massage into the skin in order for the heating property to initiate. I didn't see much improvement after one use but of course will try it again.Herbivore Blue Tansy Mask - WOW my skin was tight while this was on. I did see an improvement is skin texture the next day so I will definitely continue to use this.That's all! I also posted a long in-depth review of the asian skincare I tried this year over at r/asianbeauty so if you're interested in seeing those reviews go check it out! All of the Asian skincare I use is easily accessible in the USA. If you have any questions about the products I talked about above feel free to ask in the comments and I'll be happy to answer!! Hope this helped :)
