List of skincare favorites over the years from someone who has been acne prone with problematic combination skin.
Great everyday cleanser. It's very neutral and leaves skin feeling hydrated, smells amazing too!
Fresh Soy pH-Balanced Hydrating Face Wash
I use this once or twice a week, does not irritate my skin and the only silicone free retinol I've been able to find. It is expensive, but has definitely helped firm my skin.
Murad Retinal ReSculpt Advanced Anti-Aging Overnight Serum for Lifting
Great night cream, keeps my skin moisturized and soft.
OSEA Dream Night Cream with Bio-Retinol -
Love this sunscreen! One of the only silicone free sunscreen's I've been able to find and does not make my break out after wearing too long. Very lightweight feeling!
Beauty of Joseon Sunscreen
Love this product! It quickly helps to repair my skin barrier if I have a breakout or have used a product to intense for my skin. It definitely reduces my breakouts in general.
Mixsoon Bean Essence Exfoliating Hydrating Serum
Awesome daily moisturizer and super affordable. I've noticed an overall improvement in tone and firmness since using this.
NIDA Youthful Centella Moisturizing Cream
Currently using this as my oil cleanser, always double cleanse no matter what!
Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Cleansing Oil 210ml
Almost 40 and still need to use these, but they definitely help speed up the process when I have breakouts.
Mighty Patch™ Original Hydrocolloid Acne Patch (36 Count)
This really helps clear up post acne marks and dark spots on my skin. I use it as a spot treatment on the areas that need it to avoid irritation.
Versed Weekend Glow Daily Brightening Solution
This is kind of a weird rec but I had lanolin left over from baby days. It's actually so great for healing broken skin on my face from acne, softening any dry patches and cracked dry lips in the winter.
Lansinoh Lanolin Cream
I'm on the fence with this one - It made my skin purge big time, but my skin also never felt smoother. I took a break to ease off for a little bit. I'll update my list once I start up again. I'll probably try it slowly this time.
NIDA α-Arbutin TXA Pure Tone Serum
I really like this serum. I've noticed overall firmness and brightness.
Best aluminum free deodorant - a little pricey, but smells amazing, goes on smooth and doesn't leave any weird stains on clothes.
Salt & Stone Santal & Vetiver Extra-Strength Aluminum-Free Deodorant
I started using this for my thinning hair. It's definitely been adding volume and smells amazing.
BondiBoost HG Shampoo for Thinning Hair
I've also been using the conditioner along with the shampoo.
BondiBoost HG Conditioner for Thinning Hair
I'm also trying the spray, but not consistently. I find it's best to spray on wet hair after a shower, otherwise it does make your hair look a little dirty/oily if sprayed on dry.
BondiBoost Intensive Scalp Spray for Thinning Hair
This citrus scent smells amazing, super hydrating too. This body wash and oil definitely feels luxurious.
