Acne Prone/Hormonal Skin Favorites

items NOTE: This is what works for me. Always patch test. When in doubt, consult a dermatologist. I used these products alongside a prescription of Spironolactone and Tretinoin. My links are commissioned now, but I bought all of these items with my own mon...
SO around November-December-ish, I started getting terrible hormonal acne, especially around my chin and jaw line. My regular stuff was not working. After consulting a dermatologist, I decided to switch up my routine a little. Here are some new produ...
I did my best to get things in the drug store because…ya know…I don't have a lot of Sephora/Ulta money nowadays.

Face Wash
When I was having a bad acne flare up, this wash helped clear a lot of it. Now I use it every now and then, when I see some come back and it's usually targeted at those areas. For example, I'll wash my chin and jaw line with this but wash the rest of...
PanOxyl 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Wash
Once I got my acne under control, I started washing with this in the morning. My skin gets beat up by acne fighting creams and meds at night, so I want to be a little nicer in the morning.
Lipikar Wash AP+ Moisturizing Body & Face Wash - La Roche-Posay
Okay so…there was this one night I was so desperate to try anything and everything to get rid of my acne that I saw an ad for Blume. I got the set. I like the wash because my face feels gently cleansed. I use this alongside the La Roche Posay wash.
Blume Meltdown Daily Balancing Gel Cleanser
Moisturizer
I use this in the morning right before my sunscreen. It just melts into the skin!
NIDA Youthful Formula™ Ultimate Moisturizer
I slap this baby on at night as the last step to my skincare routine. I love love LOVE the pump.
Meltdown Gel-Cream for Acne-Prone Skin - Blume
Serums/Treatments
Remember I mentioned earlier that there were nights I searched and searched for different things? Blume and MethodIQ were one of the ads I saw.
I am going to be super honest. This with my tretinoin cream were a game changer for me. The morning after I put both on, I noticed a huge difference.

Duolaq - METHODIQ
My skin feels so smooth and bright after multiple uses. I put this on in the morning.
Vitamin C Face Serum - Advanced Clinicals
So this is definitely not an everyday product for me, but maybe more of a once every two weeks type of treatment. I put this on when my skin feels rough or clogged, like if I have texture.
Lactic Acid 10% + HA: High-Strength Exfoliator for Dry Skin
This is also not an everyday treatment, but more of a once every two weeks and I usually target my chin, jawline and forehead since that's where my acne likes to party.
Salicylic Acid 2% Masque: Smooth Skin with Charcoal & Clay
An old favorite. I put this on morning and night, right after my Ordinary essence, just to give my skin some hydration.
Peach and Lily Glass Skin Refining Serum
This is a new one for me. This leaves my skin feeling so hydrated. HOWEVER…one thing I will say is I'm not a fan of the way it smells. Other than that, great product.
