Breakout Heroes
The legendary overnight spot treatment: a pink salicylic-acid, sulfur and calamine formula you dab on a blemish before bed. Shake it first and use only a tiny amount.
Drying Lotion - On-The-Spot Solution for Blemishes
Built for deep, under-the-skin bumps and cysts rather than surface whiteheads. A targeted spot treatment that's a good partner to Drying Lotion.
Allantoin & Niacinamide Deep Blemish Solution
A pack of 60 clear, ultra-thin adhesive patches that cover a blemish and blend into skin. Handy for daytime breakouts when you don't want to dab on a lotion.
Drying Patch - Acne fighting Patch
Formerly Silver Powder, this mask is clinically tested to visibly minimize pores and reduce oiliness in about 10 minutes. A quick pre-makeup reset for oily skin.
Kaolin Clay Pore Minimizer Powder Mask
Mists & Toners
The brand's cult-favorite mist: aloe vera, rosewater and clarifying thyme extract in a multi-purpose spritz. At about $10, it's the easiest first buy.
Facial Spray - Aloe, Herbs, Rosewater
The cooling alternative: aloe, peppermint and cucumber in an invigorating mist that wakes up tired, dull skin and leaves a dewy finish. Great over makeup in the afternoon.
Facial Spray - Aloe, Cucumber, Green Tea
An alcohol-free, rose-infused witch hazel toner meant as a one-stop step for clarifying pores and adding moisture. About $10.50, so it's a low-risk try.
Witch Hazel & Rosewater Toner - Pore Clarifying
The brand's alcohol-free glycolic toner, with grapefruit extract and aloe, for brightening and smoothing dull-looking skin. Start a few nights a week.
Glycolic Acid Toner - Anti Aging
Masks & Moisturizers
One of the brand's first formulas and a salon-aesthetician favorite for dry, dull skin. Collagen-enriched and made to give a lifted, hydrated look.
Super Collagen Mask - Toning & Firming
A moisturizing, glow-boosting mask for tired, dull or dehydrated skin that's meant to soften the look of dry fine lines. Good before an event.
Enzyme Revitalizing Mask
An oil-free, silky gel-cream moisturizer with a two-weight hyaluronic complex and squalane. Cooling, layerable hydration without heaviness.
Hyaluronic Dew Cream - Dewy Skin
A lightweight, whipped jelly moisturizer with PDRN, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid and peptides aimed at fine lines and uneven tone. A $14 newer pick.
Advanced Peptide PDRN Jelly Cream
Extras Worth Adding
A rich, jelly-textured lip mask with pomegranate and guava for day or night hydration. A $9.80 add-on that makes a nice gift.
Lip Mask with Pomegranate And Guava
A contoured gua sha tool for facial massage and sculpting, at $10.50. A cheap add-on to pair with the PDRN Jelly Cream or Dew Cream.
Precision Contour Gua Sha
The splurge on this list at $31.50: a lightweight vitamin C (ascorbic acid) serum for combination, oily and dry skin, aimed at a more radiant look.
Vitamin C Serum - Anti Aging, Fragrance and Paraben free
