Skin Care Glow Up: Acne-Prone Women
15
items Struggling with acne doesn’t mean you have to strip your skin or pile on dozens of products. The trick is keeping things simple, consistent, and non-comedogenic (a fancy word for “won’t clog your pores”). This list combines dermatologist-approved sta...
I started getting serious about skincare a year ago when I had a horrible cystic acne breakout. SkinMedica was the only suncscreen that seemed to work for me and that did not make my acne flare up. I'm obsessed and love that it is tinted. It helps li...
Essential Defense Mineral Shield™ Broad Spectrum SPF 32 Sunscreen ...
Hands down the best at-home investment that I have made for my skin. The mask not only helped my acne but it helped my scarring. I saw a difference after about a month. It continued to get better. Over a year later, I am still using it every other da...
Omnilux Contour Face
CeraVe is my go-to gentle face wash every night and morning. It cleanses my face without drying me out. The other cleansers I tried were too harsh on my skin, but this one has been working for me for the past year.
Facial Cleansers: Face Wash, Micellar Water & Bar Soap
After going to an aesthetician, she recommended I start double cleansing. I did research and read that La Roche Posay's micellar water was recommended. I started using it to remove makeup before hopping in the shower and washing my face with CeraVe. ...
Toleriane Micellar Water
This ranks as one of my favorite skincare products. Dermalogica is a medical-grade brand and is used at my facial spa. After a couple of facials, I was given samples. It helped so much with texture of my skin. I had a hard time finding exfoliants tha...
Daily Microfoliant Exfoliator Smooths & Brightens Skin
When I could not seem to get my cystic acne figured out, I finally decided to try Curology. They created a custom-formula with azelaic acid and clyndamycin for me which, in conjunction with my Omnilux mask, really helped reduce my acne. Azelaic acid ...
Custom Formula | Personalized Acne Treatment
I use this every single day! It's great moisturizer that I put on as the first layer after I wash my face. It's creamy and smooth when I put on my face and instantly hydrating. I don't have issues with breakouts using this moisturizer. While it's a b...
Toleriane Double Repair Facial Moisturizer with SPF 30
I use cicaplast balm as my final skincare step before bed. I completely destroyed my skin barrier when I was trying to address my acne. I soon realized that I was drying my face – and it was making my acne worse. After doing research, I started using...
Cicaplast Balm B5 for Dry Skin Irritations
After getting my acne under control and restoring my skin barrier, I wanted to start using retinol because I'm at that super fun age when I still get acne but I am also getting fine lines and wrinkles? Anyway, I wanted to use a retinol that would not...
Retinol Complex 0.5%
Silk pillowcases - and changing my pillowcases more frequently seemed to help quite a bit, as well. I'm a side sleeper, so my cheek was getting acne. I began getting silk pillowcases and then flipping the side I was using after 3 nights. I wash them ...
Slip® - Anti Aging. Anti Sleep Crease. Anti Bed Head.™
When I was going through it, my acne was so red and angry. I also had terrible scarring because I could not leave them alone. I know, that's the first rule :/ Impulse control was terrible. But, this green balm helped calm my face and even the tone be...
Rescue Balm Green
We all know it - water intake matters. I am a huge coffee person, and my water intake was poor. No matter what water bottle it is, just get your intake in. I personally like my Stanley. I carry it around everywhere, and it does force me to keep chugg...
Insulated, Stainless Steel Tumblers
Makeup is difficult when you have acne. Anything can break you out, so you have to be careful with what you choose to put on your face. That said, you probably want to cover up your acne and redness. I have used Tarte concealer and have had great luc...
Tarte Concealer
I was someone who couldn't help themselves when it came to picking at my skin and acne. My husband would yell and tell me to stop, but it was so difficult for me. Pimple patches ended up helping so much. I put them on before bed and would wake up and...
Mighty Patches: Original, Invisible and Face
Another Drmtlgy favorite. I have tried a few different brands for the Vitamin C serum. My sister recommended this one, so I tried it. I think the Ferulic acid helps - my skin is significantly brighter. I put it on every morning before my makeup!
Vitamin C E + F
