So, when you stumble on a video of a Black woman not keen on gatekeeping the secrets to her oh-so-flawless skin, you have no choice but to share it with everyone. And when we say this babe has flawless skin, we mean exactly that. Check it out:

Feeling jealous? Maybe a little motivated to step up your routine? Same sis, same!
And to help, here’s a rundown of all the products @sunonymous1 uses to achieve gorgeous, glowing skin:
Skin Fix Triple Lipid Peptide Cream, $54
The simplest way to add peptides to your already-existing skincare regimen? This deeply-hydrating peptide cream. As @sunonymous1 said, it deeply hydrates and locks in moisture for brighter, firmer, plumper, and more radiant skin.
Top Tip: Use it in your AM and PM skincare routine for optimal results. It’s also the perfect winter moisturizer, so be sure to stock up right now for the sexiest, dewiest, and radiant fall skin of your dreams!
IT Cosmetics Confidence In A Cream, $23
Not only is this an incredible everyday moisturizer (it layers perfectly with other products), but it’s also a great anti-ager. And it’s all thanks to the cocktail of collagen-boosting peptide-lipid complex, fine lines-nixing niacinamide, and hydrating squalene.
Use it before slathering on your sunscreen and reverse over ten visible signs of aging in just two weeks.
Image MD Restoring Power C Serum, $115
Hyperpigmentation (dark spots, sun spots, and melasma) giving you sleepless nights? Add this power serum to your routine and forget dark spots ever existed.
It uses a combo of high-performance vitamin C, ferulic acid, and hyaluronic acid to nix dulling skin cells and fade dark spots for a brighter, firmer, dewy, glowing, and even-looking skin tone.
Peter Thomas Roth FIRMx Exfoliating Peel Gel, $49
If you want a smooth, blemish-free look fast, this is the peeling gel to invest in. It draws on the skin-brightening, exfoliating, and enzymatic properties of pineapple and pomegranate to roll, lift and sweep away dead cells, revealing smoother, fresher, and newer-looking skin.
If pores are also the bane of your existence, the product contains super hydrators such as glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and cellulose that unclog pores for a more youthful, radiant, plump, and firm look.
Face Reality Vitamin A Corrective Serum, $50
Despite containing a potent hit of retinol, this corrective serum from Face Reality also contains aloe vera extract, tocopherol (vitamin E), and Pacifeel to minimize the possibility of experiencing uncomfortable side effects associated with retinol such as dryness, peeling, and redness.
The formula is also said to reduce the life cycle of acne, minimize the appearance of fine lines + wrinkles, even pigmentation, and improve texture.
Face Reality Ultra Gentle Facial Cleanser, $30
All your excess oil problems will wash away with this sudsy, oil-free cleanser, but you’ll still be left with some moisture thanks to the mushroom extract.
Plus, this formula’s licorice and green tea extract will soothe your skin, prevent and lighten dark spots, and provide anti-inflammatory and antioxidant support.
Bonus Tip: It’s the best facial cleanser for acne-prone types and individuals struggling with psoriasis and rosacea.
Anthelios AOX Antioxidant Serum With SPF 50, $47
As @sunonymous1 said, retinol, vitamin C, and all skin-loving ingredients will give you yummy-looking skin, but the key to keeping it flawless is slathering on as much sunscreen as you can daily.
And yup. Black skin also cracks, so you must put on your SPF, sis!
And this number from La Roche Posay is one of the creamiest, no-nonsense picks. It soaks up any extra oils on your face throughout the day while offering SPF 50 protection. Vitamins C and E keep the skin looking flawless and youthful, and the antioxidants send free radicals packing.
