A cheaper alternative to a face wash, with safe ingredients and gentle on skin without affecting the skin barrier. My dermatologist has told me that me using this is a safe option.

Genuinely the most effective cleanser for acne prone skin I've tried to date! Washing your face with it ONCE a day is enough to cleanse and save product. I rinse my face in the morning with just water, and cleanse before bed. FYI this whole brand is ...

This is a great vitamin c serum for redness and swelling and I've noticed it has also helped with my acne/face scarring. Long-term use here is key as well as making sure you're using moisturizer, SUNSCREEN and only using it once a day unless your ski...

I use this under my moisturizer as a double hydrating agent. I have really dry and sensitive skin and I find this helps with moisturizers to make sure my skin doesn't crack or flake. I've also poured some into my setting spray in order to give me a d...

This is a HOLY GRAIL product. I bought this in the worst of the worst of my dry skin and put it everywhere. Any time I have flaking on my face I put it around my mouth, nose, lips and anywhere else during my skincare at night and it heals beautifully...

For acne prone skin you want a mineral sunscreen as it physically sits on top of your skin blocking sun exposure, and doesn't have acne worsening chemicals. This non-comedogenic (fancy word for doesn't clog pores) sunscreen is great because of its hi...

I've tried lots of pimple patches as a way to stop picking at my acne and I've found that these are one of the best and cheapest options. Just peel the patch, PRESS on your skin for 15-20 seconds, and I leave them on overnight but during the day is j...

Over liquid masks I've found for me these pore strips have been the best. There are 14 in total, 7 face and 7 nose strips depending on where you get the most blackheads. It says to wet your face and then apply the strip, sometimes I take a damp paper...
