6.7 oz Deep Cleansing Oil Facial Cleanser - DHC | Ulta Beauty
This is another great affordable option if you’re looking for a cleansing oil. It’s an oil-to-foaming cleanser and is very easy to wash off. Just note that this oil cleanser has niacinamide.

I use this spray in my skincare routine and whenever I sweat a lot. This is a phenomenal item for fungal acne, as a spray helps to kill the bacteria that cause acne and irritation.
Personal Day Trust Me On This Hypochlorous Acid Spray - Ulta Beauty
This is a little bit more expensive, but another great toner option that helps to refresh the skin and aid in cell turnover. I don’t use this every day, but at least 2 to 3 times a week, and it does truly work.
Detox Skin Renewal Toner with Reishi Mushroom + Adaptogens

While this is on the pricier side, Origins eye creams are really worth the price. If you have dark circles like me, this does help to brighten under your eyes.
GinZing™ Brightening Eye Cream with Vitamin C & Niacinamide
This is a more affordable eye cream that targets dryness under the eyes and helps to plump the skin under your eyes for a more youthful look.

Mini Air Angel Peptide Plumping Gel Cream - Dieux | Sephora
A solid moisturizer is key to any skin care routine, especially for someone taking tretinoin like me. This is the final step in my routine at night after I put my tretinoin on. This is a healing, soothing moisturizer that is heavy but gets the job do...

Sunscreen
No skincare routine is complete without sunscreen, this has been my recent sunscreen of choice. It doesn't irritate my eyes, but there is a slight white cast, so be aware of that.

This is my go-to sunscreen under makeup; it surprisingly makes a good primer. There is no white cast on this sunscreen, and it has a gel-like consistency.
Black Girl Sunscreen - Make It Matte Sunscreen - SPF 45 | Ulta Beauty
This is a great sunscreen spray to use on makeup days to touch up makeup and keep your skin protected from the sun. It does not irritate my eyes like many other spray-on sunscreens.
