Serums

 
Katelyn Cannella profile picture
I LOVE a mandelic acid serum, its good for resurfacing, scarring and texture! Start off only using it a few times a week to avoid irritation then eventually every night also WEAR SUNSCREEN :)

Katelyn Cannella profile picture
While this is not a “Serum” it is a topical resurfacing treatment so I will add it here :) I use this every NIGHT (you will want to use this at night) and apply on a dry face. My dermatologist recommended 2-3 times a week until your skin is used to i...

Micellar Water

 
Katelyn Cannella profile picture
I have recently changed which micellar water I use and I will never go back after using this one. It really leaves my skin hydrated after using it, my old one dried my skin out but this one is really nice. It is also WAY better at removing makeup.

I won't say it's pore reducing because a toner WILL NOT do that for you but it is a nice toner if you are acne prone! Use it only once or twice a week!
