Anniezi's Ride or Die Routine

THE QUICK TEA

You asked what I actually like. Here it is.

Anniezi's Ride or Die Routine is the closest shoppable version of what's sitting on my own bathroom counter—a routine built around a good cleanse, serious hydration, intentional correction, rich barrier support, retinol, and daily SPF.

These aren't here because somebody paid me to call them my favorites.

This is how I like to do skin.

WHAT'S INSIDE

KrX Pre-Cleansing Oil with Fermented Extracts
First cleanse means we're getting sunscreen, makeup, oil, and the day's buildup off before asking our actual cleanser to do its job. I love an oil cleanse, especially at night, and I'm not giving it up.

Face Reality Barrier Balance Creamy Cleanser
The second half of my double cleanse. Gentle, creamy, and barrier-conscious because I don't believe your skin needs to feel squeaky clean to actually be clean.

Face Reality hydraRemedy Gel Serum
Hydration before correction. This gives the routine a lightweight hydrating layer that helps keep the skin supported while we're doing more interesting things later.

Pfect-A NMN+ NAD+ Serum
This takes the place of the professional-only copper peptide serum I personally use. I wanted the shoppable routine to still have a high-performance serum focused on supporting healthier-looking, resilient skin rather than throwing in a random substitute just to fill the spot.

Pfect-A Sitosterol 0.5% Cream
This is where we seal everything in. Rich barrier support, comfort, and moisture—especially important when the routine also contains retinol.

Pfect-A ProAge Controlled Release Retinol Cream
My personal routine includes retinol, so yours gets one too. This controlled-release formula is the intentional corrective step for texture, tone, visible signs of aging, and skin renewal.

Pfect-A Solar Elixir Serum Sunscreen
You already knew I wasn't building you a retinol routine without sunscreen.

Non-negotiable.

WHY THIS ROUTINE WORKS

This isn't seven products trying to correct seven different things.

There's a hierarchy:

Cleanse → Cleanse Well → Hydrate → Support → Correct → Moisturize → Protect

That's much closer to how I approach skincare personally and professionally.

I want the skin supported enough to tolerate the things we're asking it to do.

And that's the real reason these are my Ride or Dies. I'm not interested in having the strongest product in every category. I'm interested in building a routine where everything makes sense together.

THE SKIN JAWN TIP

Here's the important distinction:

This is inspired by my bathroom counter. It isn't a prescription for your face.

I personally use Circadia, GlyMed, professional products, and even my own formulated facial oil that aren't all available through the online shop. So I built the closest fully shoppable Skin Jawn version using products I trust for the same roles in the routine.

BEST FOR

Normal • Combination • Dry/dehydrated skin • Barrier support • Uneven texture • Visible signs of aging • Clients wanting a complete elevated routine • Anybody who keeps asking me what I would buy

I would not position this as an acne routine or something specifically for highly reactive/sensitive skin. We have other options for them.
