This is prescription only- I went through Nurx to get this (based off their recommendation) and it has changed my skin for the better. I use it right after BP.

Another product I got from nurx tailored to my skin since I’m 33! Has softened my fine lines though. I put this on after I wash my face with the gentle cleanser at night only- can be very sensitive in the sun.

I use this right after I use tret or after I use the ordinary red peel. It keeps the moisture in and it doesn’t make my skin oily either.

Effortless Everyday Face

I’m pretty lazy when it comes to makeup, so this is what I use!

I know it’s on the pricier side, but if you just want to literally put this on as your entire morning skincare routine (sunscreen, foundation, evens tone) all in one- DO IT. It matches my skin tone amazingly!
