items Skincare that actually works is way more important to me than trendy packaging or viral clips. And it doesn’t have to be expensive, it has to be effective. I’m sharing everything I’ve found that has worked for my sensitive oily skin. Just my opinions...

Facial Sunscreen that work as skin tint too
Facial sunscreen because I want to protect my skin
Not greasy, evens my skin tone, doesn’t break me out or settle into fine lines, and protects my face. One of the best I’ve tried. Has a tint to it that I absolutely love.
SOS FaceGuard SPF 30 Sunscreen PA
Watery like a serum but has protected my face well and no breakouts! Has a little tint to it which I love.
Future Screen SPF 50 Mini Mate - Ultra Violette USA
Protects my face from the sun and so far has not lead to breakouts. It does look just a little grey but the tint helps.
Everyday Sunscreen Tinted Face Lotion SPF 40
Eyes and lips!
Eye cream that I actually feel like makes a difference for me and lip products I love!
So far this eye cream has helped my fine lines around my eyes visibly. I use a tiny amount at night and no irritation or reaction.
Revive Eye Serum: Ginseng + Retinal | Beauty of Joseon Official Store
I love lip masks and they don’t have to be expensive. This one from profusion smells nice, and does the job very well. I put this one on at night or whenever my lips are extra dry.
Peanuts Halloween Apple Bobbing Overnight Lip Mask
Stings a little but not uncomfortably bad. It works as well as more expensive ones (at least for me) and I love the sheer pink.
Plump & Pout Lip Plumping Booster Gloss
Helped with fine lines around my eyes and just generally making my eyes look younger. I don’t use it every night, I rotate this with the Beauty of Joseon cream.
DERM CORREXION® Dual Eye Cream
Moisturizer that doesn’t give me breakouts
Moisturizer that hasn’t made me break out
Finding a good moisturizer with no hyaluronic acid or squalene is hard, both ingredients break me out. This one has neither and leaves my face soft.
Minimalist Face Moisturizer for Oily Skin
Ok hear me out, I know it sounds crazy but I use vanicream on my face when it needs a big boost of hydration. Honestly it moisturizes my skin, doesn’t break me out and doesn’t cause irritation for me. I don’t use it all of the time, but particularly ...
Lotions & Moisturizers for Dry, Sensitive Skin
Facial oil that makes my skin soft
Facial oils that have worked well for my oily skin
Made my skin GLOW without breaking me out. Not too heavy or greasy. I feel like it helped even my skin tone but that could just be me, or it was calming redness and that helped it look more even.
maracuja face oil
I LOVE rose hip oil. This one is nice and light, sinks in quickly, isn’t too heavy and I honestly feel like it helps make my skin more even, calms my redness, and helps with my occasional acne and leftover marks. I put it on at night and wake up to s...
USDA Natural Organic 100% Rosehip Oil Hair Relaxer Skin ...
Not too heavy for my skin, doesn’t break me out, sinks in really well and makes my skin soft

Things that have helped my skin look visibly better
Things that have actually made a difference when I used them
This Azelaic acid helped keep acne at bay. It does feel a little gritty going on but not bad and it didn’t irritate my skin.
Good Molecules 10% Azelaic Acid Treatment 30ml
Made my skin look more clear and has helped with dark spots and acne marks. I rotate this one night and an azelaic acid the next.
Easydew DW-EGF Melatoning Ampoule 3X
This really helped with acne and dark areas! Like REALLY helped, putting on at night I wake up with noticeably clearer skin.
MAREE Azelaic Acid Face Cream Treatment
Makes my skin glow from the inside. I don’t know if it is just the vitamin c or the turmeric or maybe the combo of the two that works so well. Honestly helped clear my skin too.
Vitamin C + Collagen Face Serum - By Nature Skincare Global
Seriously reduced redness for me and made my skin feel so soft, the spicules took a little getting used to, at least for me.
VT COSMETICS CICA Reedle Shot 100 Microneedling
Made my skin look much more clear and even. It didn’t dry it out or make it more oily and it didn’t sting or cause irritation. Helped make my skin look more glowy.
Green Plum Refreshing Toner: AHA + BHA
Shower products I love!
Keeping my sensitive, acne prone skin happy is hard. These are some of my favorite products.
Helps reduce body acne in the hot summer (at least for me) and leaves my skin feeling very clean with no irritation
Dove Beauty Bar Soap Antibacterial Care 2ct
Doesn’t irritate my skin and leaves me feeling clean.
Sensitive Skin Beauty Bar
In shower exfoliation/ moisturizer. I love this little bar. It exfoliates my skin without irritating it, and it leaves my skin very soft. The only downside is I wish it lasted a little longer.
Scrubee Body Butter
Body lotion
Hempz is possibly my favorite body moisturizer. Most body moisturizer causes me to break out or isn’t moisturizing enough. Hempz doesn’t break me out or irritate my skin, leaves my skin moisturized and their scents always smell really good.
Body Moisturizers
This comes in a very close second to Hempz, it also doesn’t irritate my skin and leaves it moisturized. The vanilla coconut scent is very nice but they have really good seasonal scents too.
Body Lotion - Native Deodorant
Soooo moisturizing, and doesn’t bother my skin. It’s like a mask for my whole body.
Ashanti Naturals White Raw Shea Butter
