I struggled with acne from high school and through college and it wasn’t until after college that my skin started to calm down. To stay consistent with caring for my skin, these are some of my go-to products!
This serum evened out my skin texture a lot - use after toner!
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
I bought this cleanser in Japan and fell in love. It’s so soft on the skin and suds up really well with just a small amount and a dash of water. Highly recommend!
Shiseido Senka Perfect Whip Cleansing Foam 120g
So refreshing! I bring this on flights and it keeps my skin from getting to dry in the air. I apply it both for overnight use, or just a moisturizer pick-me-up!
e.l.f. Holy Hydration! Ultra-Hydrating Sleep Mask
Hydrating, plumping, and helps avoid wrinkles!
medicube Collagen Overnight Wrapping Peel Mask
This is a perfect oil for oil cleansing and gua sha. It's light so it doesn't clog your pores and a little goes a long way. Love this product!
100% Plant-Derived Squalane
This is one of the most exciting products I've used where I could REALLY see results. I have a lot of acne scars and dark spots, and this has helped SO much in smoothing those scars/lightening the dark spots. Highly recommend.
Resurfacing Retinol Serum - CeraVe | Ulta Beauty
Staple holy grail product - everyone needs some aquaphor in their lives!
Healing Ointment Tube - Aquaphor | Ulta Beauty
This is a beautiful foaming cleanser that is so gentle on the skin - something vital when washing your face!
Foaming Facial Cleanser - CeraVe | Ulta Beauty
A lovely, clean, no-nonsense face moisturizer. We don't need to complicate it - keep it simple and your skin will thank you!
Daily Moisturizing Lotion - CeraVe | Ulta Beauty
I am constantly repurchasing this item and have used it for years now - so helpful in evening out my skin texture.
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum for Oily Skin - The Ordinary | Ulta Beauty
Another product I've been using for years! This is a great toner but specifically helped in targeting the little bumps I would get on my forehead. Once I saw how it cleared that, I was sold!
This has become a staple and will remain a staple in my skincare routine! This milky toner is gentle and soothing - you can layer it for more hydration and it leaves your skin glowing.
Milky Hydrating Face Toner
This product is the MVP of glowy skin. I apply this after my toner and my skin literally shines! It is great for sensitive skin and provides a cooling, hydrating feeling. I will be re-purchasing this for the foreseeable future!
Glow Serum - BYOMA
This product is excellent for hydration and keeping your skin glowing!
