DHC

DHC is a Japanese brand that tends to come up for straightforward, no-frills skincare staples — the kind of products that do one job reliably without fuss. Their Lip Cream is the clearest anchor here: a thin, unscented balm that sits well under lip products and keeps lips moist without feeling sticky or heavy, though it's best caught on sale. The brand's other mentions are more scattered, so it's less a full routine line and more a place to pick up specific workhorses.
