Acne
Cleansers
The face washes I reach for every day — gentle, effective, and never drying.
It took me so long to find the best cleanser without additives. This is the most gentle and simple cleanser that leaves me skin hydrated and doesn't ruin my skin barrier.
Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser Pump 8oz
Also one of the best cleansers I've used. It leaves my skin feeling so hydrated and I used it all of high school and it never failed me.
CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser for Dry Skin
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.
Garnier Micellar Water, Hydrating Cleanser 13.5oz
I LOVE this oil cleansing balm to take off my makeup, I use it in place of micellar water 2 times a week! And then right after I use normal cleanser
Radiance Cleansing Balm - Gentle Makeup Remover with Rice Extract
Moisturizers
Simple creams and gels that keep my skin hydrated without feeling heavy.
THE BEST MOISTURIZER EVER FOR SENSITIVE SKIN. It's so light on my face and dries quickly, it's fragrance free and doesn't break me out! My holy grail since high school.
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Fragrance Free Gel Cream
This is the best dupe for the Neutrogena Hydro Boost. So much cheaper and a great alternative.
e.l.f. SKIN Holy Hydration! Face Cream
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!
La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5 Healing Ointment
This healed my broken skin barrier from retinol!!! Super thick but good for at night and super hydrating doesn’t burn!
Cicaplast Balm B5+ Soothing Therapeutic Multi-Purpose Cream
This water cream moisturizer is so nice for during the day and it smells amazing
Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Cream Moisturizer with Squalane
I started using this after I healed my skin with the cicaplast baume and it works so great for at night on the thicker side but not too thick!
Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer
Serums/Toners
Targeted treatments I use to brighten, smooth, or add extra hydration.
This is perfect for texture. I use it a couple times a week to make my skin smooth and exfoliate gently!
The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution
I use this moisturizing toner right after washing my face to flood my skin with hydration and then seal it with the La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume! It makes my skin sooo hydrated and amazing
LANEIGE Cream Skin Toner & Moisturizer - Lightweight Korean Milky Toner with Ceramide & Peptide
This saved my skin after I had so many acne scars and hyperpigmentation! I had PIE and this made them so much lighter
Anua Azelaic Acid 10 Hyaluron Redness Serum
I LOVE THIS TONER it’s so hydrating and I was gonna get rhode but I got this one. It’s perfect for skin flooding and moisturizing my skin I use it day and night after cleansing and before serums and moisturizers.
TIRTIR - Milk Skin Toner
I love this after my milky toner for gentle exfoliation and brightening!! And super affordable
Good Molecules Mandelic Acid Serum 30ml
Acne
The products that actually help calm breakouts and keep them from coming back.
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.
