What are Trish V’s top repurchase beauty empties from January 2026?

My true repurchases are the ones I fly through and already have backups of. Prequel Gleanser is a staple for me, and Kosas deodorant (unscented) is something I’ve used for years. I also consistently repurchase Soft Services Carea Cream and their Clearing Mist because they actually make a difference for my body skin.

Is Prequel Gleanser good for sensitive skin and shaving?

Yes—this is one of my favorite ways to use it. It’s unscented, thick and creamy, and it lathers beautifully, so it works really well as a shaving medium, especially for underarms if you’re sensitive. I use it on my face too, but I go through it fast because I reach for it in the shower constantly.

Which body wash did Trish V love most in this empties video?

Salt + Stone Saffron & Cedar is a total addiction for me—the scent is gorgeous and more sweet/aromatic than super woody. I also fell hard for Wonder Valley Haninoi because the haninoi is intense in the best way. With that one, a little goes a long way because it’s thick and concentrated.

What hair products are best for thick, wavy, frizzy hair according to Trish V?

My hair is thick, wavy, and it can lean frizzy, especially around the hairline, so I need real nourishment. I really love the Ceremonia hair mask for smoothing and managing frizz, and Josh Rosebrook Serum Spray is a staple I’ve gone through multiple times. Ranavat’s hair serum is another forever product for me—plus I’m obsessed with the jasmine sambac scent.

Did Trish V like the Dam Dam Tokyo cleansing oil?

That one was disappointing for me, which is rare because I usually love Dam Dam Tokyo. The texture felt too thin, and I just prefer other cleansing oils more. When I already adore options like Live Botanical and Mara, I don’t feel the need to repurchase something I didn’t enjoy using.

What body care products help with ingrown hairs and bumps after shaving?

Soft Services Clearing Mist is a huge favorite for me—it’s a medicated breakout tonic that I specifically use on the backs of my thighs where I get bumps and ingrowns after shaving. It’s one of those practical products that actually earns its place in my routine. I finished it and would absolutely keep it in rotation.

What’s Trish V’s favorite deodorant for mature skin and sensitive underarms?

Kosas deodorant in the unscented version is my ride-or-die. I’ve used it for years, I keep repurchasing it, and it’s just a staple in my body care lineup. If you’ve been with me a while, you already know I recommend it constantly.

January Beauty Empties 2026 ♻️ | First Empties of the Year! 🥳 — Trish V

About This Video

Welcome to my first video of 2026—my January Beauty Empties. This is a little tradition of mine because it helps me clear out the recycling and start the new year fresh. I grouped everything into categories so we can move through it smoothly: a couple of random household empties, body washes, hair care, body care, skincare (cleansers, mists/essences, serums, moisturizers, SPF), and a few makeup items. And as always, I’m sharing what worked, what didn’t, and what I’d actually repurchase. You’ll hear about a few true staples I keep going back to—like the Prequel Gleanser (especially as an unscented body wash and shaving medium), Kosas deodorant (unscented forever), and several skincare favorites I’ve repurchased multiple times. I also talk through some disappointments, like a cleansing oil texture that didn’t do it for me and packaging that’s just way too fussy for the price. If you’re navigating mature skin (and menopause season), this video is really about what feels effective, nourishing, and realistic to use day-to-day—without the hype.
