AlphaRet Clearing Serum | Retinoid Skincare
Ā
The ONLY face mask I will ever put on my face. Use this every 1-2 weeks and leave on for 30 minutes. Mix with baking soda if youāre having bad breakout / extra oily. If you splurge on anything let it be this.
Masque Vivant

If you have redness from rosacea or post acne marks this stuff is sooooo good. Helps so much with any inflammation, esp if you live in a polluted city (me in NY) or struggle with redness. I put this on in the morning or if my skin barrier needs some ...

Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 1970 | Exfoliating Toner

I use this on top of CeraVe PM if I need extra hydration. Love how light and cooling this one is, no pore clogging ingredients. Buy the small size to try it out and get the jumbo if you like it for great value!
The True Cream Aqua Bomb - belif

Iāve tried every tretinoin under the sun, differin stays on top for me. Not to drying and has the best ingredients for acne prone skin.

Azelaic Acid, 15 % Gel
Ā
Accutane DUPE (coming from someone who was on accutane) this is the BEST skin supplement (also no biotin which makes me breakout). Highly recommend this to everyone with hormonal acne.
Healthy Glow
Extra things I love and swear by!
Ā
These are great to add to routine if you are not using a tretinoin & want more glass skin and have some breakouts. These resurface skin so well even if you have dry skin (I have oily and these make my skin glow without stripping too much).
Peels | Dennis Gross Skincare
Ā
These are very similar to Dr Dennis gross peel pads IMO, however these are better for more active acne / breakouts. Use these at night after cleansing before moisturizer for best effect. Made my skin super clear and soft! Helps with the little bumps ...
