items I've struggled with acne for years, and thankfully it's nowhere near as bad as it used to be. These are the products currently in my routine, ones I've loved enough to repurchase, and a few acne-friendly finds I've discovered on TikTok. My skin type ...

Current Routine
These are the products I'm currently using and reaching for most days. They've been working really well with my acne-prone, sensitive skin.
One of the first cleansers I bought when I started getting my acne under control, and it's still a staple in my routine today. 🙏
FREEDERM Sensitive Face Wash with Niacinamide
HOLY GRAIL. Someone on TikTok recommended this and I'm so glad I listened. If your moisturiser tends to break you out overnight, you need to try this. I've only been using it for about a month, but I'm already obsessed.
epii - Double Up Cream Ectoin & Panthenol
Another HOLY GRAIL (sorry for the all caps 😂). Another TikTok recommendation that completely lived up to the hype. I've been using this alongside the epii moisturiser, and you can get this of yesstyle like I did or find it in Boots or Superdrug too ...
Beauty of Joseon - Relief Sun Aqua-fresh
My skin barrier's best friend. I always reach for this whenever my skin feels irritated or needs a little extra hydration.
COSRX - The Ceramide Skin Barrier Moisturizing Mist
Hydrocolloid roll > overpriced pimple patches. You get so much more for your money and can cut it to whatever size you need.
2in x 6ft Hydrocolloid Roll for Wound Care
If you're anything like me and can't resist picking at spots, this really helps the scabs and marks heal quicker. Speaking from experience. 😅
Sudocrem® Antiseptic Healing Cream, Zinc Oxide Cream, 125g | For Nappy Rash, For Eczema, For Acne, For Minor Burns, Pack of 1
Used before
Products I've finished, loved and would happily repurchase.
This helped clear up my acne when it was at its worst in secondary school. Surprisingly, it didn't dry out or irritate my skin either. 😍
Acnecide Face Wash Gel 5% Benzoyl Peroxide 50g
This was my go-to moisturiser before I switched to epii. It's much more affordable, although I'd be a little cautious if you have very oily skin.
XBC Body Care Aqueous Cream 100ml. Twin Pack
I loved how bright and healthy this made my skin look. I might even switch back to it once I finish my Beauty of Joseon sunscreen.
Garnier Vitamin C Daily UV Brightening SPF50+ 40ml
Recs from TikTok
Products I've discovered on TikTok that caught my attention 🤭 I haven't tried these myself, but they've been popping up everywhere and the reviews are worth a peek!
Sitting in my Amazon Saved for Later! 👀 I've seen people say it helps reduce redness, calm inflammation and fade the dark marks left behind after spots.
Arencia Glow Hyssop Overnight Face Mask Serum
Also sitting in my Saved for Later. Most people seem to rave about the blue version, but this one sounds like a better fit for acne-prone, sensitive skin.
medicube Toner Pads Red Succinic Acid Panthenol
I'd genuinely love to try this because the reviews are amazing, but it contains ibuprofen and I'm allergic, so it's a hard pass unless I fancy a trip to A&E. 😭
PAIR Acne Treatment Cream Japan Lion 14g
