I have been using this product for years! I can definitely say it works overnight! Significantly reduces the size in 24 hours with twice a day use.
Neutrogena On-The-Spot Acne Spot Treatment for Acne Prone Skin Care - 0.75 oz
I've been hearing about this brand everywhere for a while now, so I decided to try them out. As I grow older I have a lot of dark spots more than pimples, boy does this really work! Fades over time. Can't expect it to work right away.
Hero Cosmetics Mighty Acne Patch Micropoint for Dark Spots - 8 patches
This is such a great low cost find for acne prone skin! It is a lotion and not a cream. Go's on strong, absorbs shiny areas right away, stays shine free all day, even in the heat!
Cetaphil Dermacontrol Oil Absorbing Moisturizer - SPF 30 - 4 fl oz
Best makeup remover wipes I have found. Sudsy, but not overly. Just enough soap to get the gunk off. No harsh chemicals, all natural. CANNOT recommend enough.
Patchology Clean AF On-the-Go Refreshing Facial ...
I can't say enough good things about this gel for your body if you have acne. So gentle, yet delivers unbelievable results. No harsh chemicals to irritate skin.
Neutrogena Rainbath Replenishing Shower And Bath Gel Ocean Mist, 16 OZ
I just started using this on my sensitive, dry face. After just one day's use(2 washes), the rough patches on my skin are a little less ashy and a little smoother. And I didn't need to use that much. More of the high end drugstore, but still definitely worth the price.
Fermented Honey Cleansing Balm - Burt's Bees
I'm not really into putting on chapstick consistently, but I really love this one! Not only is it cruelty free, but the peppermint gives your lips a little tingly sensation. Kinda like being kissed….by beeswax.
Lip Balms - Burt's Bees
The best-selling drugstore brand now has a tinted sunscreen moisturizer! A powerful punch that will cover up your uneven tone and protect you in the process. Comes in 3 shades: light, medium, and dark.
CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30
I've been using Neutrogena for years!! Their Hydro boost line is simply the best ever. Especially the serum with hydrologic acid. I can say without a doubt this has cleared up my face considerably.
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Serum
High End
I don't know what is in this badass creme, but it even makes acne prone skin look flawless in just a few days! And BONUS! NOT tested on animals! I will break the bank each and every time to buy this brand, I wish I could buy every product....sigh.
1.6 oz Protini Polypeptide Firming Moisturizer - Drunk Elephant | Ulta Beauty
Now this is what I call killing 2 birds with one stone. I am soooo happy I found this! First of all, I LOVE Bobbi Brown. She is so top notch. This face base goes on smooth, smells HEAVENLY, and most of all does NOT leave a greasy residue. And my foundation has never looked better.
Vitamin Enriched Face Base Moisturizer & Primer
One of the best serums! Eco friendly, cruelty free. I absolutely love Clarins.
Double Serum - Best Anti Aging & Anti Wrinkle Concentrate
I don't know how I ran into this cleanser or what I did on this earth to find it, but holy cow! I absolutely, positively love it!! If you struggle with acne, please try this. I know it's super expensive, but it's worth every penny. I pinky promise.
MACRENE ACTIVES High Performance Cleanser
Hands down the best age serum. I honestly didn't know which section to put this one in since they sell Dermalogica at the drugstore now. Smells so good as you mix it with your nighttime moisturizer and put it on, but the smell goes away pretty much. Honestly, I didn't want it to go away! Dermalogica is the best I think for any skin type and well worth the money.
Overnight Repair Serum, Revitalizing Treatment | Dermalogica®
I won this at an auction, otherwise I would have had no idea this existed! It goes on rough, but so gentle to the skin when you add water. Packed with so many good things you'll forget it's an exfoliator too! A little does a long way.
