I have very oily and acne prone skin. I have struggled with breakouts and complexion since I was in middle school, and now as I college student I think I may have found some products to swear by. After being in and out of dermatologists trying differ...
I use this before my other cleansers on a dry face. It has reduced my blackheads and my face feels cleaner after using. I also sometimes use it as a makeup remover and have found that it works great there too!
Pre-Gleanse Oil Cleanser For The First Cleanse - Prequel
This has been my go to cleanser for the last 2 years. As someone with acne prone skin the unscented one is the only native face wash I have success with, but it is also the only cleanser that has kept my breakouts under control since being in college...
Aloe & Vitamin B3 Sensitive Facial Cleanser
I used to swear by the skinceuticals replenishing cleanser cream, and although it no longer works for my skin it might work for you! I was recommended this cleanser from my dermatologist and used it for most of highschool with no issues. It has a gen...
SkinCeuticals cleanser
My skin always feels refreshed after I use this toner. It does not make my acne worse and I notice it picks up any residual dirt that the cleansers didn’t fully get.
SOME BY MI AHA BHA PHA 30 Days Miracle Toner
While a little pricy, this is my absolute favorite face mask. I was gifted a sample of it once, and fell in love. I have since bought 2 full sizes on my own. I use it before I get ready, or even when I notice my acne starting to get worse. Each time ...
Pumpkin Enzyme Mask
This is my current go to under eye gel. It helps me feel more awake and I notice my concealer applies better after I have used it. Though if you are looking for something that significantly de puffs your under-eyes, this may not be the product. I do ...
Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel
This has been a nice addition to my routine. Im still fairly new to it, but am enjoying it so far. I do not notice new breakouts or any irritation. I would be careful with other products used with it though, I used it with a retinoid acne cream and e...
Naturium Moisturizer
This is my first summer in Texas and this sunscreen has helped me protect my face! I have a bad habit of skipping face sunscreens because I struggle with breakouts afterwards, and while this leaves me with minimal acne, it has been the best face suns...
Invisible Daily Defense Sunscreen Lotion Spf 60+
This used to be my favorite moisturizer because it felt light on my face and didn’t make it too oily. I would recommend it for anyone struggling to hydrate their skin but struggling with breakouts afterwards. I don’t use it anymore because I ran out ...
Hydro Boost Water Gel & Oil-Free Face Moisturizer
Instead of using a lash serum to grow my lashes, I grew up using jojoba oil every night. I noticed it helped my lashes not only grow longer but also stronger. I also put it on my eyebrows but have noticed the biggest difference with my lashes.
Cliganic Organic Jojoba Oil 16oz Pump
This is a very strong cream that I was prescribed by my dermatologist. Let’s be honest, even though we’re told not to pop and pick our pimples, I had a bad habit of doing so. I grew out of it, but whenever I would pick, I put a little bit of this cre...
Paddock Labs Tretinoin 0.05% Cream 20g
This serum has been helping me to rebuild previous damage I had done to it while learning how to take care of my skin. I like that it does not make my skin feel oily.
Ceramide Barrier Serum | Hydrating Serum
I use the skincare oil to help reduce the appearance of acne scars on my cheeks. Thanks to this product, scars that I had been covering for years have faded and a few have even disappeared. The one drawback to this product is that is does make my ski...
Bio-Oil®
My mom has said that she feels like this product has helped with texture on her face and has helped smooth out her fine lines. I am still brand new to incorporating it into my routine but I have no complaints so far!
High-Strength Retinol 1% in Squalane for Fine Lines & Texture
A little on the pricier side but i love what this toner has been doing for my skin lately. I notice a difference in how my acne clears up and it helps give an overall smoother complexion.

I struggle with strawberry legs and razor bumps whenever I shave, making it a painful experience afterwards. I have spent a lot of money trying different products and routines and this is what works for my body right now!
Dry brushing has recently become an extra step in my exfoliation routine before I shave my legs and it has helped tremendously!! I often struggle with strawberry legs and razor bumps and tend to avoid shaving because of the painful after math. Since ...
Dry Skin Body Brush - Natural Bristle
The shaving oils have helped reduce my razor bumps compared to when I use shaving cream. My legs feel smoother and softer since making the switch.
Shave – Tree Hut Shea®
I use the vanilla cashmere after I shave my legs. It helps with hydration and I have also gotten compliments on how good I smell!
eos Body Lotion | Deeply Moisturizing, Lightweight Hydration
I have tried a few scrubs for exfoliating, but Tree Hut’s work the best for me! I have tried several scents and have not been disappointed. The tub typically lasts me for a while before I have to buy another.
Body Scrubs – Tree Hut Shea®
I really like how soft these shower gels make my skin! I have tried the aloe vera washes and find them at places like tj maxx. My skin feels hydrated and extra clean whenever I use it.
Ciroa shower gel
I use an exfoliating glove with my body scrub. I feel like it gives an extra layer of exfoliation when compared to just my hand.
Best Exfoliating Gloves
I use this as a body mask and it helps me feel more refreshed. I would be weary if you don’t like a super strong coffee smell and it can be annoying to wash off.
Cup o' Coffee | Revive & Restore Face & Body Mask
Sometimes I will use this in place of regular lotions. I find that it feels a lot lighter than lotions and almost melts into my skin. I am not crazy about the smell, but it helps my skin feel hydrated.
Urea 5% Body Serum
This body cream helped me get rid of some of the texture that I was experiencing on my legs. I also had my brother try it on the texture on his arms and while the cream didn’t completely erase it, we could see some improvements.
