Step 1: Cleanse. Salicylic acne wash is mandatory for us acne-prone girlies. This one has been my tried and true for years.

Step 2: Tone. This Korean brand Anua milky toner soothes and preps skin for treatments.

Step 2 add-on: I add this rose water spray to help the hyaluronic acid penetrate the skin better. Not necessary but I like it!
Eau Roma Water
Step 3: Hydrate. Hyaluronic acid serum! This is my favorite as it doesn't irritate my skin. It's also a great price from The Inkey List!
