12
items I can’t always drop a pretty penny on other skin care products I love, so I’m always on the hunt for affordable skin care that actually works!
These are some of the products I’ve come to love the most and that I feel actually deliver. It helps that...

Face Wash
I’ve used this face wash for years. It’s perfect for my combination, acne prone skin. It’s not super harsh and is moisturizing. I’ve never had a reaction to it, and it doesn’t make me break out.
Sea Foam Complete Face Wash - Pacifica
When I run out of face wash or just want something different, I use this to wash my face. So simple but it works.
Daily Use Gentle Face and Body Cleansing Bar
This is a great exfoliater. I use it about 3x a week. My skin feels clean and looks glowy afterwards. It’s popular for a reason! Some people don’t care for the scent, but I don’t mind it. It reminds me of an orange-vanilla smell.
Glow Baby Super Lit Enzyme Scrub - Pacifica
Serum
I use this as a morning serum. It’s lightweight and smells lovely. It’s meant to help you with fine lines and that youthful glow. I can say it’s delivered thus far. I’ve bought this a few times now.
Skincare Products for Youthful Skin - Pacifica
This is also meant to fight those pesky fine lines via retinol (which really
is the one thing I think you should have in your skin care arsenal.) I use this at night and let it work its magic.
Wake Up Beautiful Retinoid Serum - Pacifica
Moisturizer
I have used this for years. I have sensitive skin and acne prone skin, and I’ve never had a reaction to it. It’s tried and true basic for me when I can’t afford to splurge on other products I love.
Dreamy Youth Day & Night Face Cream - Pacifica
Sunscreen
I always go back to this sunscreen. My favorite thing is that it doesn’t leave a white cast and it doesn’t pill. It also can double as a skin primer, which how I use mine. Serum, moisturizer, and then sunscreen.
Unseen Sunscreen SPF 50
I use this as a dupe for Goop (that rhymes! 😆). Do I find it to be as good as Goop? No, but it’s a close second, and honestly, you can’t beat the price.
Suntouchable Invisible Sunscreen SPF 35
Treatments
Great for improving skin tone and texture. It doesn’t sting much like some of the others do. I love to follow this up with a rich moisturizer at night.
Glow Baby Brightening Peel Pads 10% AHA + BHA - Pacifica
Without my makeup, my skin tends to look red and perhaps a little stressed. This helps calm my skin and even its tone. It helps me feel more confident without makeup. You can wash this off after 5-10 minutes or leave on if you need a little extra tlc...
Stress Rehab Redness & Pore Clarifying Mask - Pacifica
Lips
I keep these everywhere - my purse, my bathroom, my nightstand, my desk at work, etc. They are a dream for dry lips, especially in the winter.
Aquaphor® Lip Repair Soothing Relief for Dry Lips
A great addition to your nighttime routine. My lips are always soft, nourished when I wake up in the morning. I follow this up with the Aquaphor lip treatment in the morning.
