Makeup Remover
For all my sensitive skin friends! Love using this to remove my makeup. Don’t have to worry about any being leftover and doesn’t leave your skin feeling dry after using it. 10/10, only thing I use
Garnier Micellar Water Hydrating Cleanser
Face Wash
My favorite face wash. Has cleared up break outs, old acne scars, and you can get a small travel size bottle with it. Perfect for those on-the-go travels and TSA approved. I always get the value size because it lasts so long
CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser, Oil Control Face & Body Wash for Normal to Oily Skin, 16 fl oz.
Smaller size of the foaming facial wash in case you want the more standard size. You can always buy the travel size separately (but at that point, it’ll be the same price as getting the value size just fyi)
CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser for Normal to Oily Skin, 8 fl oz
Also a great face wash for those with acne-prone skin especially! First face wash I tried by CeraVe and definitely credit it with getting my skin to where it is now. Also great for those who don’t particularly prefer foaming face washes
CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser for Rough & Bumpy Skin, 8 fl oz
Travel size face wash! TSA approved and perfect for family vacations or a quick overnight trip. Don’t be intimidated by the size because it takes a while to use all of this but you can also refill it!

These 5-in-1 pads targets sooo many skincare concerns. Love using these to not only target acne but also for prevention

Toner
Love this hydrating toner to follow-up after wearing makeup or when my skin feels particularly dry. Perfect for those winter days as well. Also love that it has rosewater in it
Dickinson's Hydrating Witch Hazel Toner with Rosewater, Alcohol Free, 16 fl oz
This toner always make me feel as close to pore-less as I could possibly be. Also great if you don’t have a particular issue with moisturizing or have a preference against rose water
Dickinson's Pore Perfecting Witch Hazel Toner, 16 fl oz
Affordable cotton rounds for applying toner. You can always get the single pack to show you like the application or buy the three pack version
Affordable cotton rounds for applying toner. Love these so I personally prefer this three pack. But if you often like to try new products, the single pack option is also available

Serum
Great to use if you have breakouts and a little goes a long way with using the dropper
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
Love using this when my skin has felt particularly dry for that extra moisturizing effect
Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (with Ceramides)
Moisturizer
My favorite step of my skincare routine for the way it always leaves my skin feeling moisturized! Plus a little goes a long way
Hydro Boost Water Gel & Oil-Free Face Moisturizer
Bonus Step 2- Cream Treatments
Need to minimize the look of a breakout quickly? THIS has had me camera ready walking into events in the quickest turnaround. Also love to use this when I first begin to see a breakout coming to tackle it early
Clearasil Benzoyl Peroxide Stubborn Acne Spot Treatment Cream, 1 oz
Moisturizing Oil
A little definitely goes a long way because this vitamin e oil can leave you glowing for hours. Also perfect for growing out your hair eyebrows, eyelashes, beard, you name it!
Spring Valley Vitamin E Oil with Keratin for Skin Care, 12000 IU, 2 fl oz
Sunscreen
LOVE this sunscreen! Doesn’t leave a white cast and gives a very glowy finish to your skincare routine. Lasts a very long time since you only need a little to go a long way with this so the price is great!
