I've worked at Ulta for over a year. Here are 10 beauty products I swear by for glowing skin. — I'm an esthetician and Ulta employee with a few favorite skin-care products I love to recommend.Malayna Fernandez
As a licensed esthetician and Ulta Beauty employee, I have some favorite products from the retailer.
Neutrogena's Hydro-Boost line and COSRX's Snail-Mucin essence are great for those with dry skin.

The DHC Deep cleansing oil is a great first step in a nighttime routine.

Double cleansing, or washing your face twice, helps remove any dirt or grime that may have accumulated on your skin during your day. It's one of the most important skin-care steps, especially if you wear makeup.
The DHC Deep cleansing oil removes any surface dirt and makeup and prepares my skin to better absorb the second cleanser I use in my routine.

The La Roche-Posay Purifying Foaming cleanser helps clear my acne.

Of course, it wouldn't be a double cleanse without a second cleanser.
I recently purchased the La Roche-Posay Purifying Foaming cleanser from Ulta and have been loving it ever since.
This cleanser has niacinamide in it, so this formula has been great at preventing acne from coming to the surface of my skin without causing irritation.

The Good Molecules Niacinamide serum has to be one of the greatest steals of all time because it retails for only $6 and performs like high-quality skin care.
On days when I feel like I'm about to have a breakout, this serum steps in and saves the day. I love it so much, I'm already on my second bottle.

My skin retains so much moisture when I use the COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power essence.

Our skin tends to dry out or break out with constant changes in the weather, so on days I feel my face start to chap, I use my COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power essence.
This essence allows my skin to retain more moisture and helps heal my acne wounds.

I don't love everything from Neutrogena, but the entire Hydro-Boost line is amazing and has a few staples that I would 100% recommend.
For example, the Neutrogena Hydro-Boost water gel is a must-have for those with dry skin. It helps my skin retain moisture, sits beautifully under makeup, and even leaves my face with a cooling sensation.

The Peach Slices Snail Rescue moisturizer doesn't strip my skin barrier.

Peach Slices is another amazing K-Beauty brand at Ulta and the Snail Rescue moisturizer is one of my favorite products from the brand.
This moisturizer is perfect for acne-prone and dry skin because it helps prevent breakouts while maintaining the natural skin barrier.
As someone with oily skin, I know that this moisturizer won't leave you feeling greasy because of how lightweight it is.

If you hate the white cast that sunscreens tend to leave on the face, you can try Black Girl Sunscreen. The brand's formulas literally melt into your skin and leave you with a hydrated and luminous look.
Plus these sunscreens are truly suitable for any skin type. Whether you have sensitive, oily, dry, or acne-prone skin, they work well for almost anybody and sit beautifully under makeup.
And what kind of esthetician would I be if I didn't recommend sunscreen?

Kopari Ultra Restore body butter is perfect for those who usually forgo lotion.

I think Kopari's products make my skin glow from within, which is why I recommend the Ultra Restore body butter over any other formula.
As important as it is that we take care of the skin on our face, we sometimes forget about the rest of our body
This body butter doesn't leave me with a greasy feeling but still makes my skin look hydrated.

If you're having one of those days in which you're doing a full, multistep skin-care routine, I recommend trying the Pixi Fortifeye Toning eye patches.
These patches contain caffeine, which helps the under eyes with dark circles, puffiness, and the appearance of dull skin.

The Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair makes a luxurious under-eye cream.

If you're looking for something with long-term results, you can check out the Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair.
This product is more of a splurge and works best for people who are trying to diminish the appearance of fine lines and brighten the under eyes.
