I introduced azelaic acid at the recommendation of my dermatologist. This is a great and affordable option for anyone that needs the benefits of azelaic acid for acne and/or rosacea.
Geek and Gorgeous aPAD Azelaic Serum
I struggle with having very thin skin around my eyes with visible veins. This eye serum is fantastic in keeping the area looking fresh. I use it sparingly, max 3 times a week, because retinal can become quite drying.

Rosehip Oil is sooo soothing. Usually you would tend to stay away from oils with such skin problems, but really, you shouldn’t. There’s plenty of options like this one from The Inkeylist to try! Layer on after your moisturiser.

Controversially, I only use cleansers in my nighttime routine. But this has made my skin to be less dry and prone to overproduction of sebum!
She is a cult classic for a reason! Other micellar waters just aren’t as good in taking of makeup and they need to be rinsed off with water. Which if you’re like me, it can irritate your skin.
Bioderma Sensibio H20 Micellar Water
The Oat Cleansing Balm has been my OG for heavy duty makeup for a while now or whenever I feel like I want a deeper cleanse than I can do with just the Cetaphil and Micellar Water.
It has some oat particles that do a little exfoliating without stripp...
