I started going through the Amazon dermatology online! This combination of clindamycin and benzoyl has done WONDERS for my skin. I absolutely love it. This is quick, remote and affordable as well if you don't want to go into a derm office!
Perrigo Clindamycin-Benzoyl Peroxide Gel 45g
I have zero issues with the La Roche Posay Anthelios 60! I love that I can also use it on my whole body so I don't have to have multiple sunscreens for different parts of me. It blends in really easily and I seem to absorb it really fast, given I swe...
La Roche Posay Anthelios Melt in Milk Sunscreen Lotion - SPF 100 - 3.0 fl oz
LISTEN! I’m very pale and the fair color works perfectly for me! I put it on after my skincare routine! The coverage is great and makes my skin look radiant. Texture is thin but goes on a bit thicker once you start rubbing it in (as most mineral spfs...

Glazing Milk Ceramide Facial Essence - rhode | Sephora
I wanted to share my experience with Amazon Pharmacy. I was looking to buy a retinol for my face and, after comparing brands, prices, and reviews, I decided to go back to using Tretinoin. I realized that for the cost of an over-the-counter retinol, I...
TRETINOIN 0.05% Cream 45g

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.
