Sunscreens that won't break you out!
Cleansers
Step #1 in your routine
Â
One of my favorite cleansers ever! It gives a deep cleanse (to help with breakouts) but doesn't strip my skin or cause dryness.Â
Keep It Clean - iNNBEAUTY PROJECT
Â
I believe that combatting acne is all about nourishing the skin so I often prefer to just cleanse with a hydrating cleanser like this one instead of using anything with stripping ingredients <3
Hydro Boost Gel Cleanser for Hydration - Neutrogena
Â
This is good if you have a slightly higher budget! It contains PHA's to gently exfoliate your skin without irritation :)
Phaze | Clarifying face wash for sensitive skin - Pai Skincare
Toners
Step #2 in your routine (optional)
Â
Snail mucin helps the skin toe regenerate and heal which can also treat inflammation (aka acne).
Peach Slices Snail Rescue Blemish Busting Toner
Â
This toner is SOOO calming on my skin every time I break out!Â
Mushroom B5 Toning Cocktail - EqualRXN
Â
You can use this throughout the day but I LOVE using it as a toner because it just calms my skin down immediately (esp redness). You can't go wrong with this one!!
SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray with Hypochlorous Acid
Serums
Step #3 in your routine (optional)
Â
When it comes to acne, I've learned that gentle products are so much better than harsh ones. This serum is perfect because it GENTLY clarifies the skin while avoiding redness or irritation that you get with some acne products.
Clarifying Serum - BYOMA
Â
This serum is great for acne-prone skin. It has 2% salicylic acid which is just enough to help clear pores but not irritate the skin.Â
Salicylic Acid Acne Treatment Serum - Peace Out Skincare
Â
This serum is great for calming my skin whenever I'm breaking out!
Calming Serum : Green tea + Panthenol
Treatment products
Step #4 in your routine (optional)
Â
Retinoids are my FAVORITE ingredient for TREATING acne. This is the closest you can get to tretinoin without a prescription <3
Differin Gel Adapalene Retinoid Acne Treatment
Â
These are hands some the BEST pimple patches on the market in my opinion. They ACTUALLY work LOL!
Mighty Patch Original | Best-Selling Acne Patch
Â
Pimple patches are great but they can get expensive if you break out a lot so this is my favorite alternative. There are at least 50 applications in this tiny jar and it's about the price of buying only 20 pimple patches.
Spot Paste | Direct treatment acne cream - Carbon Theory.
Moistruizers
Step #5 in your routine
Â
One of my favorite non-clogging moisturizers that will hydrate the skin and isn't expensive!
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Face Moisturizer
Â
Unfortunately I'm sensitive to niacinamide so I can't use this but so many people RAVE about this moistruizer for all skin types + the price is unbeatable!
The INKEY List Omega Water Cream Moisturizer
Â
A strong skin barrier is always step #1 to preventing acne ;)
Skinfix Barrier+ Triple Lipid-Peptide Refillable Face Cream
Sunscreens that won't break you out!
Step #6 in your routine
Â
This is the perfect light-weight sunscreen that WON'T clog your pores and also reduces redness on the skin.
Force Shield Superlight Sunscreen SPF 30
Â
This is a serum sunscreen that is breakout-proof but it does leave your skin pretty shiny so beware if you have oily skin!
MEGASHADEâ„¢ | Sunscreen Serum - ZitSticka
Â
Serves as a moisturizer/sunscreen in the summer
Relief Sun : Rice + Probiotics (SPF50+ PA++++)
