This is not only affordable, it works! As someone who suffers with acne scaring, this is a product I've been using for a while and has given me incredible results. Like any good serum it may take a short while for it to really get into your skin and ...
Discoloration Correcting Serum - Good Molecules
 
Alexis Riley profile picture
THIS IS THE ONE!!!! This serum is sent from heaven. Initially I tried this because I was looking for something that would do the job, but not be so abrasive on my face. I use this amount 2-3 times a week, before bed and by the time I wake up my skin ...

I grabbed this at Target just cause I'm obsessed with the brand and wanted to try. My gut has NEVER led me astray! It seems like from the moment I started using this toner, my skin has never been better. The brightening of my face was near immediate ...

I got a couple of bottles for free at Toronto Pride and it has not only made me a repeat customer, but a fan! If you're looking for a serum to improve hydration and nourishment and improve the texture on your face, I would definitely recommend trying...

Hands down a needed addition to your skincare roster. A great exfoliator, but use only a few times a week to start. Similar to the Good Molecules serum, but a bit stronger. Great option to help resurface skin, especially if you can't afford a profess...

One of my favourite niacinamide formulas for sure. I've been using this one for years and I honestly cannot go a day without it. I tend to use it in conjunction with the ordinary discolouration formula, interchanging days. Only $6.60
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%

Great product if you're looking for something to add to your regime for discolouration. Though this is primarily for the face, I use this mostly on the body. Pro tip, this product is especially good for scars and discoloration on the back. Just $10

Part of The Ordinary's body specific line. Perfect if you have back acne or other body acne. Helps rebuild the skin barrier, while reducing irritation and redness. I use in conjunction with my glycolic acid serum. only $18.
Salicylic Acid 0.5% Body Serum
 
Alexis Riley profile picture
salicylic acid is a must for acne prone skin. A lot of cleaners on the market can be harsh on the skin. If you're looking for a gentle cleanser that gets the job done, look no further! I typically buy this two at a time and the key is to do a first p...

I cannot recommend this product enough! I received this for free the first time, and now it's a staple. I use this daily over my sunscreen and before bed. This moisturizer sits in the middle in terms of heaviness, yet It's gentle and incredible hydra...
