the ordinary
Slightly more than a typical ordinary serum; however, worth the couple extra bucks. Still affordable and definitely have felt a difference in skin barrier.
Soothing & Barrier Support Serum
I use this with moisturizer at night. I do not typically use every night because it does have exfoliating properties and I do not want to risk damaging my skin barrier.

Viral for a reason, used for years and always yielded a good result.
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%

PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash Benzoyl Peroxide 10%

Clarifying Exfoliant 2% Salicylic Acid
One of the best pimple patches in my opinion.
Overnight Spot Patches
Perfect spot treatment that I actually see a difference with when I use it.
Adapalene Gel USP, 0.1% Acne Treatment
byoma
I love using this before face wash when I have a full face of makeup on. Helps make makeup removal a lot easier.
Melting Balm Cleanser
I have tried two different retinols and this one was my favorite. Especially because it can be catered to more sensitive skin, so more inclusive. Also great price.
Sensitive Retinol Oil
cerave
Esthetician recommended this forever ago and never has failed me. I have been using for years. Even if you don't have oily skin, get the foaming-it makes a difference.
Foaming Facial Cleanser for Normal to Oily Skin
When I visit my sister's house, this is what I use, I love this one too.

AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30
Have been using this at night for years, love the consistency and never had an issue with it.
