Morning Skincare
For my skin type, this works well for me. My dermatologist recommended benzoyl peroxide in the morning (any brand is fine), followed by clindamycin, and a moisturizer/ sunscreen combo.
Benzoyl Peroxide Wash
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.
Image sunscreen has been my go to for a long time! My esthetician actually recommended it.

Nighttime Skincare
Any gentle cleanser will work!
Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser, 12 Ounce
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.
Tretinoin Cream (Retin-A) for Acne and Anti-Aging
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.
CeraVe Moisturizing Cream for Dry Skin
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!

Skin extras!
Leaves my skin feeling baby soft- I call it a blood mask to freak my mom out lol. It exfoliates and takes off the dead skin layer- recommend using a moisturizer right after. Only use 2-3x a week, less if you’re sensitive.
AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution
I use this on my 11 lines and it really does make them look more relaxed
Fight Deep-Set Lines with Argireline Solution 10% Serum
