Any brands you can recommend
Ah yes, it is for body, but here is what i did First I tried the NUXE on my face, on a small area and it made it significantly more soft I tried the Vit c on my arm which helped the dryness quite alot too The aloe Vera is just mostly 90% aloe Vera, so it isnt anything crazy And lastly, the cleanser also felt amazing, I felt like I just ascended, sorry a bit dramatic
You can use the cleanser at night and follow up with the aloe, but you need an actual moisturizer before adding in the other two products.
i think the Nuxe is just a body mist/fragrance and not actually exfoliating, was that a typo maybe? as the other person said, use the cleanser in the evening and get an actual moisturizer to use afterwards. that comes down to skin type and personal preference, but i'd recommend a lightweight moisturizer for daily use, one that absorbs well into the skin rather than something occlusive. i currently really like the CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion (if you get this, make sure it's the one that says "Lotion" and not "Cream"). other brands with good hydrating products at reasonable prices: Byoma, Purito, Vitamasques, Bubble. you can also check out some Korean brands, K-Beauty focuses a lot on hydration in general. Aloe Vera is soothing and moisturizing, but if it's just Aloe Vera gel without any other ingredients, i'd probably use it as a spot-treatment for anything like wounds/scabs/pimples that are in the healing process, sunburns, or as a thin layer for an overnight mask after applying hydrating products and then use the cleanser in the morning to wash it off. ETA: forgot about the vitamin c, sorry. vit c is an allrounder in skincare and can be used to brighten and even out your complexion, helps against dark spots and has anti-aging properties. i wasn't familiar with the specific serum you have and looked it up, because 20% is usually a lot to start with. but the Pharmacist Formulations seems to be a derivative and not actual L-Ascorbic Acid with a moisturizing base. so it claims to be beginner-friendly without causing irritation. but please look it up for yourself because i only took a quick look, and i'd do a patch test first before using it (put a small amount on your wrist or somewhere on your jaw and wait a day to see if any irritation occurs). look up how to use it safely, with most actives it's best to introduce them slowly. you also need SPF if you aren't using one already. i'm using the Beauty of Joseon one but heard that the Geek & Gorgeous Zero Feel is also supposedly very nice, haven't tried it myself yet though.
