I use this micellar water before I wash my face to get rid of dirt and makeup. It acts as a double cleansing agent but fungal acne safe unlike some oil based cleansers.

This moisturizer literally saved my skin after being on a retinoid. It is super thick and creamy and is great for at night after washing your face. It keeps my skin moisturized and hydrated and is super soothing and not irritating!

I use this on my painful acne and it shrinks them and dries them up overnight! The benzoyl peroxide agent really helps to get rid of the bacteria from the zit.
