Cleansers!
#1 REC! This has been my current cleanser for about 4 months now, and I LOVE IT! My breakouts have been so bad so I decided to make the swap and this has minimized my acne so much!
NORMADERM Gel Nettoyant Purifiant à l'acide salicylique - VICHY
Really good light cleanser that I swap to when I face breakouts. Contains 4% Benzoyl peroxide. Good face wash for when your skin’s barrier is too sensitive to use salicylic acid ingredients!
PanOxyl Acne Wash, 4% Benzoyl Peroxide Cream, 85 g
Good cleanser for oily to combo skin and for daily use. Not too harsh but can sometimes feel stripping if your skin’s barrier is more dry some days. For sure it’s better than Cerave’s SA cleanser!
Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel value set
Salicylic acid cleanser for normal-combination skin!
Renewing SA (Salicylic Acid) Cleanser | Face Wash
Face Sprays / Mists
Super hydrating and refreshing. You can use them on the go but I’ve used them as a toner!
Facial Sprays & Mists
A nice spray for your face right after washing it. I've gone through 3 bottles! Thermal water sprays are great for soothing irritation, sensitive skin, strengthening the skin barrier and to provide lightweight hydration!
Thermal Spring Water Face Mist | La Roche-Posay
A nice spray for your face right after washing it. About the same as the La Roche Posay one. Thermal water sprays are great for soothing irritation, sensitive skin, strengthening the skin barrier and to provide lightweight hydration!
Avène Thermal Spring Water
A nice spray for your face right after washing it. I recently started using this because I use their serum! Thermal water sprays are great for soothing irritation, sensitive skin, strengthening the skin barrier and to provide lightweight hydration!
Volcanic Water Face Mist | Mineral Water Spray - Vichy
Exfoliators / Toners!
My all-time favourite and #1 exfoliator rec! Cleanser-type exfoliator: FEEL THE DIFFERENCE AFTER ONE USE. Super good for physically removing dead skin cells!
Hydractiv Exfoliant – Jouviance - Canada
Super nice base and alternative if you don’t use thermal spring water mists! Can also replace the toner step. Helps moisture and allows other products to penetrate your skin properly!
Hydrating Water Essence - Curel
Liquid exfoliator toner with BHA and Salicylic acid! Perfect for oily, acne prone skin and helps minimize pores! (Be warned that it is a stronger chemical exfoliator so test on sensitive skin first!)
SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant
So effective! I use it in whenever my skin feels dryer than normal, and after one use I can feel the difference!
The Essence - Skincare Boosting Treatment - Tatcha
Moisturizers!
I recently swapped to this moisturizer purely because my skin has been dry and in need of hylauronic acid! The consistency is thick and very hydrating. It also doesn't break the bank!
Hyaluronic Line - Prettyskin
Thick moisturizer perfect for dry skin or winter time use! Keeps skin refreshed, smooth, and plump!
The Dewy Skin Cream Replenishing and Plumping Moisturizer
A lighter moisturizer perfect for summer time. Light application, fast absorption, and dewy finish!
The Water Cream Lightweight Pore-Refining Moisturizer
Lightweight water cream that is better for oily skin rather than dry skin. Does have a weird plastic-y smell but good if you want a light breathable moisturizer!
Torriden Dive-In Low Molecular HA Cream 100ml
So incredibly good to use during winter for dryer days. I only used it when I felt my skin really needed extra moisturization! Works for face and body!
Lipikar AP+MAX Triple Repair Moisturizing Cream for Face & Body
Sunscreens!
La roche posay sunscreen is top-notch. I’ve used their 60spf gel-cream which is a thicker sun screen that can leave a white cast, and I’ve used their ultra fluid which is the exact opposite texture. Smooth, light, invisible and absorbs quickly into t...
Anthelios Sunscreen
I have been using this sunscreen for 2 years now! A little goes a long way! It’s water based, light and spreads super nicely!
UV Aqua Rich Hydrating Facial Moisturizer with SPF 50 - Biore
Serums!
Serum that boosts elasticity and moisture! Feels like a hyaluronic serum but better!
COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
Perfect for dull, dry and rough skin! Keeps it moisturized and helps with elasticity and radiance!
Advanced Snail Radiance Dual Essence
THE vitamin C serum for oily skin. (Vitamin C is mainly known to help brighten your complexion!)
12% Vitamin C Serum for Face with Oil Control Correction - LRP
Super good hyaluronic serum that contains lots of collagen. Good for dull skin, early signs of aging, and helping the moisture barrier!
Liftactiv Collagen Specialist 16 Bonding Serum
This serum is more on the pricey end but is, without a doubt, the best serum I’ve used with quick results. Makes your skin feel super smooth!
The Silk Serum Wrinkle-Smoothing Retinol Alternative
Word's can not discribe how amazing this serum is! It's a simple hylauronic serum including 89 minerals from VICHY's volcanic water. So fantastic for hydration!
Minéral 89 Hydrating & Plumping Daily Booster | Vichy
Acne patches!
Your typical acne patches to grab from the shelves.
Acne Pimple Master Patch
Pretty good value and works pretty quick. Also comes with 2 different sizes in one pack. Most acne patches require 6-8hrs but I had a meeting in the morning and put one on for 2 hrs. Lots of pus was still extracted!
Overnight Spot Patches - PanOxyl CA
These microneedle pimple patches are perfect for the big stubborn zits that have been on your face for way too long. They really break through the skins barrier and get the pus to the surface. I used multiple for one stubborn pimple thats been on my ...
Olive Young Care Plus Salicylic Acid Trouble Patch (12pcs)
