The Skincare Products I Keep Buying Again
10
items My skin is a mix of oily and dry, and it’s super prone to acne — not the big pimple kind, but the clogged pores and inflammation type. I also deal with sebaceous filaments (those tiny white dots on my chin and nose that always come back). Some of the...

Daily Essentials
This spray is my little lifesaver for sebaceous filaments (those tiny white dots on my chin). It keeps my skin looking clean for 2–3 days if I keep using it. I usually spray it twice a day (morning + night), but sometimes I also use it in the afterno...
Pacifica Clear Mist Facial Acne Spray
I mostly use this for my underarms because old deodorants left them darker, and this really helps lighten them up. But warning: do NOT use right after waxing or shaving — it will burn. For my face, I only use it once or twice a week (no more!) becaus...
The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Tone
This is such a glow booster. I feel like it’s especially amazing for darker skin tones because it makes everything look so radiant and healthy. I’m kind of light-skinned but mixed, and it works beautifully on me — so I think it would be even more mag...
Peach & Lily Glass Skin Face Polisher
This one is perfect for those leftover dark marks from old acne. You know those little stubborn black spots that don’t fade? This helps clear them up and evens out my skin tone over time. I just dab it on problem areas and let it work its magic
Bubble Knot Out 1.8% Salicylic Acid Spot Treatmen
I don’t usually use this when I’m heading out, but it’s so good for deep cleaning at night. I apply it, wait about 5 minutes, and honestly? My sebaceous filaments start popping out on their own. Like, some come all the way out, others halfway, so I d...
It'S SKIN Hyaluronic Acid Moisture Emulsion
I don’t use this every night, because I usually like to finish with an ointment before bed. But when my skin feels drier than usual (especially from using acids), I reach for this cream. It hydrates without being heavy, doesn’t make me oily, and I do...
KEDMA 8% Night Cream with Hyaluronic & Kombucha - 50g
This isn’t the main cream I usually use in the morning (I had one from Kedma with SPF, but they stopped making it 🥲). So when I don’t have that one, this is the cream I go for. It’s good, it doesn’t make my skin look or feel bad, and it works well w...
KEDMA 8% Hydrating Day Cream 50g
Targeted Treatments
These are my go-to for when my nose gets full of sebaceous filaments and blackheads. I also use them on the sides of my mouth (like, close to my chin but not exactly on it), because that area always gets little heads popping up. They pull everything ...
Bioré T-Zone Blackhead Remover Strips
My skin is prone to keloids, so this tape is honestly a must for me. I have two right now, and what I do is massage them for at least 5 minutes every day, then put the tape on during the day. At night, I take it off, massage again, and reapply. It re...
Silicone Scar Sheets/tapes 1.6x60
Skin-First Makeup
I don’t wear a lot of makeup, but when I do, this is the one I trust. It actually helps with my acne instead of making it worse, which is huge for me. It covers my dark spots really well without looking cakey or heavy — no “cement face” vibes here. I...
