I have struggled with acne-prone skin since middle school, but these are some products that may not be advertised often but worked wonders for me when I felt nothing else could!
I don’t like to spend more than 15 minutes getting ready in the morning. Here are my holy grail, simple, everyday products I keep stocked at all times in my bathroom. I think these are genuinely worth the money and they’re all things I SWEAR by, and I’m a picky gal. My skin is acne-prone, oily t-zone, but these products have really helped keep it controlled.
I am fully aware that this can be an overwhelming process. There are so many products that are out there for consumers. From someone who started piling on products and regretting it. I decided to simplify and really only purchase what a majority of the dermatologists recommend. This is my step‑by‑step routine that keeps my skin feeling clean, protected and taken care of. Do as the dermatologists say - don't overspend on cleanser and moisturizer and save your money for actives! Remember - if you are spending money on skincare and NOT wearing SPF, you are wasting your money. SPF is the best anti-aging product! MORNING: 1. Tower28 Hypochlorus Acid (I don't wash my face in the AM because of my PM routine. 2. AM Active: Naturium Vitamin C 3. OPTIONAL: Rhode Glazing Milk 3. Illyoon Moisturizer 4. Colorscience SPF (most important step!) EVENING: 1. Prequel Pre-Gleanse Nourishing Oil Cleanser 2. Prequel Gleanser + SA Non-Drying Salicylic Acid Cleanser Serum 3. PM ACTIVE: Tretinoin (I also apply vaseline to my smile lines and around nose to prevent drying out) 4. Illyoon Moisturizer 5. OPTIONAL: SUNGBOON EDITOR Deep Collagen Overnight mask
