I’ve tried hundreds of products so you don’t have to. These are the ones that do the best job for their price. I love a deal but I’m also willing to spend some $$ to get good results.

Hyperpigmentation Holy Grails
Products that help clear or prevent hyperpigmentation
Love everything from this brand!
Caudalie
This is my holy grail of skincare. It helps with redness, hyperpigmentation, and hydration.
Caudalie Vinoperfect Serum is 62x more effective than Vitamin C to brighten skin
She’s expensive but worth every cent. Nothing has cleared up my hyperpigmentation and kept it clear like this product. It’s a mask that you leave on for 20 minutes a few times a week (start out daily and then reduce to 2-3 times a week). It smells ho...
Cysteamine HSA Pigment & Tone Corrector
I have a prescription for Tret and I use it 2-3 times per week. I alternate with Azelaic acid.
Tretinoin (topical route) - Side effects & dosage
I use this everyday. It has a 9 minute cycle and uses both red and blue light therapy. I’ve seen improvement with the redness of my skin, acne, and hyperpigmentation.
TheraFace Mask by Therabody
Keeping Acne at Bay
This is gentle enough to use everyday but doesn’t overly dry out my skin. It’s also very affordable.
Miracle Clear Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser - Rael
My breakouts were reduced to almost nothing when I added this product. I only use 1/2 a pump and only in areas that I experience acne like my chin, nose, and behind my ears.
Vinopure Acne Serum | CAUDALIE®
Perfect amount of hydration for day time and helps reduce dark spots after a breakout.
Dr. Althea - 345 Relief Cream
I double cleanse EVERY night and this is my first step. It removes all my makeup. Make sure to add water and emulsify before rinsing.
Perfect nighttime moisturizer to calm and protect my barrier after using tretinoin and other actives. It’s also a clean brand!
Barrier Repair Cream
I use both of these products each morning. The sunscreen absorbs quickly and is a perfect primer for my foundation.
Sun Protection - Caudalie
I use each morning after my Caudalie serum and before my sunscreen.
Dr.Althea 345 Relief Cream Moisturizer
Creamy, easily absorbed, and hydrating ingredients
Premier Cru The Eye Cream | CAUDALIE®
I use this once a week after my chemical exfoliator.
BIODANCE Bio-Collagen Real Deep Hydrating Mask
Getting the Glow
I do this every other week to keep my skin smooth and help my makeup look better.
Womens Face Shaver
I use this weekly after shaving or exfoliating my face. It gives a healthy glow without looking orange.
Antioxidant Face Tanning Micromist
Perfect mask or overnight moisturizer if you need some extra hydration.
Jet Lag Mask ® + Moisturizer
I use this once a week to better exfoliate my skin. I don’t use manual exfoliators anymore, only chemical. It has helped repair my barrier.
T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacial™ | AHA/BHA Exfoliating Face Mask
I like to use a chemical exfoliant to keep my skin soft and smooth. This one is great to use every other day, even with using tretinoin. The actives in this brand are excellent!
