A few years ago, I started a series called “Empty’s” where I revisit an item after it’s been used long term, and decide whether I want to repurchase it.

Here are the items in my Empty’s bin today:
Eclat Vitamin C Serum (find it here)
I checked my Amazon orders and I started using this Vitamin C serum in October 2022 and have purchased it 10 times since then. I love this serum, it’s easy to purchase on Amazon and depending on the day it costs between $9 – $12. I use this daily in the morning (cleanse, then CosRx snail serum, then this, then moisturizer). This one is a forever reorder for me.
Naked and Thriving Renew Resurfacing Night Serum (find it here)
I purchased this serum almost exactly a year ago and just used the last dregs in the bottle. I was influenced by Instagram for this purchase and was convinced that it would be a hero product… but it was just… fine. The consistency was fine, the smell was nice, but I didn’t notice it doing ANYTHING to my face. Other than costing me $69. I will not be reordering this one.
CeraVe Moisturizing Cream (find it here)
I’ve been using this cream pretty consistently since February 2023 and just finished my latest tub. I like this product because it goes on nice and thick, but then soaks right into my skin rather than making me feel sticky. While I do like this cream, I’m going to hold off on reordering it at this time for a couple reasons. First, the pump sucks. It only works for maybe a quarter of the tub and then you have to unscrew it and dip your hand in to get the lotion. Second, it has no scent. Which is great if you don’t like scents. But my Palmers Cocoa Butter smells delicious AND works well, so I’ll be using that for a while.
