Veriphy Skincare Routine - Power Trip Serum, Hit or Mist Toner, and Self Absorbed Moisturizer

Time for a skincare review - it's been a hot minute since I've done a full skincare review, but you know I like to take my time and try all of the products before sharing my thoughts, so you may have seen some of these show up in other posts before! 

These products were received as PR products

I was so excited when Veriphy offered to send me some products to try and the brand is described as "clean, vegan science backed skincare" so I had a feeling their products would be great! Their packaging is so luxe - glass bottles, gold accents and even great boxes! (They've actually updated their packaging this past year, and it is all green and nice and sleek!)

I'm always excited to round up my MOST favourite products of the year - I just shared my top makeup products of 2023, so make sure you can check that out here! So, it's time to round up my favourite skincare, hair and nail products - I always pull from any products that I've tried within the year, whether it was released in 2023 or not - if I've tried it this year and loved it, it's in here! 

The JVN, Panoxyl, Biotherm, and Paula's Choice products were all received as PR samples - this post contains affiliate links

With that being said, everything I talked about on my Monthly Favourites, I still love; but, when I think of the best products of the year, I think of the ones that have been total standouts or game-changers in my routine! So, that is what I'm going to focus on for this year's Top 8 Favourites! 

Monthly Beauty Favourites ~ October 2023

Here's a look at what I was loving in October:

The Panoxyl, Biotherm and Veriphy were received as PR samples 

Last year I started just picking any number of products I'm loving, instead of trying to find 5 each month (which I did previously!) So, whatever number of products I'm loving, that's what I will be sharing. 

Transitioning to Fall Skincare With Biotherm

I have a pretty solid skincare routine and I tend to use the same routine throughout the year, but I do switch the products based on the time of year (for example, usually a thicker cream when it's colder and drier in the Winter). So naturally as we move in to Fall, it's time for a focus on some new skincare products!

I will say over the Summer, I did a little bit of a number to my skin barrier - I think I was overusing some actives along with the hot weather and sun exposure (although, I do always wear my SPF 50), but I did have some redness and uneven skintones based on the season. With the colder weather coming, I thought it was really important to hunker down on my routine, focus on gentle products that are going to repair my skin barrier!
