I actually use all of these products, and with almost 20 years of trial and error Ive found a regimen that actually consistently works.

Toner/sprays

I rarely use these, as someone with Exema toners can be stripping. Ive found some that aren’t, so here they are!

While any honey products are gold, I love this. It isn’t greasy, I can use it every day it doesn’t burn or irritate my skin and it’s never given me acne spots.

Literally got this at Walmart. It’s amazing, much more of a light cream. It does leave a white cast but that goes away after it soaks in.

Smells medicinal but it works so good. Soaks in fast and leaves no residue.
Advanced Repair Cream

It kind of smells like matcha, it’s very light so I would pair it with something heavier to lock it in.

This works for the pimples that hurt and won’t surface. I’ve never had it make one go away but it bring it up and helps it pop. It’s also very cooling.

Trader Joe’s has done it again, I love this. It’s VERY sticky so I recommend putting it on before getting in the shower, bath as to avoid getting it on clothing. It heals my Exema spots on my neck and face

I love this but you can make it at home. Raw oats and some local honey in a warm bath and soak. DO NOT WASH IT OFF.

Soaps/facial cleansers

I love all of these and have been using most for years.

This works for Exema bumps. I wouldn’t use it on a dry break out considering this is very stripping
