I have acne prone skin on the oilier side and I love this toner!! It is so gentle and hydrating on my skin
Hydrating Milky Toner with Snow Mushroom - 12 oz.
Been using this for a couple years now and I've never looked back! Amazing at getting waterproof mascara off, I definitely recommend following it up with micellar water or another cleanser but this is amazing!
Pond's Cold Cream Cleanser 3.5 oz
Instead of buying the tiny acne specific ones, get these!! They're so much cheaper and you can customize them to the size you need. They are hydrocolloid patches, the same dang thing as the small ones, and I promise they do the same thing
Dimora Hydrocolloid Adhesive Bandage
Hear me out! Some of this on a cotton pad and you have an amazing, CALMING toner!! I am a horrible picker at my acne and this does an amazing job of making it look like nothing happened the next morning!
T.N. Dickinson's Witch Hazel All Natural Astringent
Dupe for Lili Reinhart's hyaluronic acid spray!! Gentle on your skin and acts as a reset. bonus, the spray nozzle is AMAZING so I've used my old rinsed out bottles to hold setting sprays with crappy nozzles!!

Universal Skin Solution Hypochlorous Acid Spray
Makeup
Amazing! Beautiful color and leaves a tint that lasts me about 6 hours
Lip Gloss, Lip Oil and Lip Stain
This one doesn't make me break out like some concealers will, and it is just enough to cover acne scars without looking cakey!
Hydrating Camo Concealer
I have specifically the last picture with the cylindrical bottle and black cap - it is one of the pricier makeup items I own but it is incredible
Cruelty-Free Foundation Makeup | Natural & Matte Formulas
Affordable AND good?!? Love Love Love Maybelline, they know what they're doing!!
Fit Me® Matte + Poreless Powder Foundation Makeup
I get the waterproof so it holds the curl but I've been LOVING this mascara. It is beautifully in between clumpy and smooth so you get thick lashes without looking like they have mites in 'em (no hate to the clumpy lash lovers)
Ulta Beauty

Better than a loofah because it won't grow mold! Better than a washcloth because you don't need to be throwing it into the laundry and getting a new one every shower
INNERNEED Silicone Body Cleansing Brush - Dark Green
Part of my journey to the shocking discovery that what my mom gave me as a preteen was the result of years of experience...she was onto something!
Body Wash to Help Restore Your Skin's Moisture
AMAZING. I hear everyone say to use it with the orange shampoo by the same brand, which I bought and have been trying.
Update: for my hair, the orange shampoo wasn't a great fit. My hair is on the oilier side and pretty fine, and the shampoo is hydr...
L'Oreal Elvive Hyaluron 72H Conditioner
Ever wonder how your hair stays clean for days after the salon but gets greasy every day once you wash it? Product buildup!! This is one of many clarifying shampoos that they use to literally clear out all buildup from your hair, but over time your h...
Shampoo Two | Paul Mitchell | JPMS
A good daily clarifying shampoo!! This keeps buildup out of your hair but is gentler than a salon grade one (see my other recs, Paul mitchell!!) so you can use it every day for extra freshness 😁
This one is super affordable because I am a broke col...
Essentials Daily Clarifying Shampoo
