Cleansers

I'm really picky about my cleansers, makeup removers, the following ones did a really good job, and didn't break ou my skin.

This is my favorite one and I never stop using it until they stop producing it. A great budget friendly face cleanser. I always have one more bottle in stock just in case. Never caused me any acne, my skin feels very clean after using it.

Great oily cleanser for double cleansing. I know its weird to recommend an oil cleanser for oily skin, but it is very effective when you have some blackheads and sebaceous filaments, it wont leave your skin more oily.

I first heard about the LRP Cicaplast Balm, but I also heard that it's not recommended for oily skin. So I made a research, and I found a gel version of it for my slightly greasy skin.  This gel works slower than the cream, but it makes your skin look great.

Spot treatment/black heads

When I first got pimples, I learned that it's better if I let them dry out and not pop them. Well I didn't really think about that in the exam seasons, and got a few acne marks. That's why I reach for pimple patches at first signs of pimples. The por...

Toners

I don't use toners that often, cause they are not the most important step in a skin care routine. But you can reach for them if you want to get more effective results, ex. to get a better texture, or hydrate your skin.
