Hello, empties! I'm back with another round of products I've fully used up.

For context, my skin leans dry and sensitive with a slight combination tendency. Over time, I've noticed real improvements in texture, comfort, and overall skin health when using these products—either together or on their own.

Here's my honest breakdown!

1. Dior Capture Totale Moisturizer

I originally picked this up after trying a sample, mostly because the scent was so luxurious and appealing. What kept me using it, though, was the performance. The cream feels rich yet surprisingly lightweight on the skin.

2. Dr. Wu Dermlab Niacinamide 10%

This serum quickly became one of my staples. The texture is thin and lightweight, allowing it to absorb almost instantly. Despite the high niacinamide concentration, it never irritated my skin.

3. Estée Lauder Micro Essence Treatment Lotion

I used this as my toner step, and while I can't pinpoint whether the results came from this or the Dior moisturizer, my skin definitely felt bouncier and more plump—almost that jelly-like, hydrated bounce, similar to SK-II. The downside is the scent, which isn't the most pleasant at first. It does grow on you over time, but it's something to note.

4. d'Alba Vital Spray Serum

This is hands down my favorite empty from the list. I absolutely love this spray—it reminds me of the Caudalie Beauty Elixir but at a more accessible price point. Whenever my skin feels itchy, irritated, or slightly red due to sensitivity, a few spritzes instantly calm things down.

These empties played a meaningful role in improving my dry, sensitive skin over time. Some stood out more than others, but each contributed something valuable to my routine. Skincare truly is about finding what works for your skin, and these products helped me get one step closer to healthier, calmer skin.
