15
items everything I use on a daily basis as a 20 year old with severe acne
one of the first cleansers that i saw a noticeable difference in my skin texture with within a few days
Kale + Spinach Superfood Face Cleanser
helped me so much with lightning dark spots and calming down red areas
Refresh ABC Daily Toner (AHA BHA Vitamin C)
This is the current eye cream i’ve been using, the applicator makes it very easy to apply and I pair this with my reusable under eye masks every night and notice the skin underneath is always tighter and smoother in the morning
Dark Circle Brightening Eye Cream with Niacinamide - Caudalie
i literally. use these. every night. SO easy to just clean with some warm water and just dry and reuse, and you can use whatever eye cream you want. The only thing is I tend to sleep with them on but I wouldn’t recommend doing that every night as hav...
Forever Eye Mask | The Original Reusable Silicone Gel Eye Pads
As someone who has been dealing with acne for years, i’m prescribed tretinoin by my dermatologist, and it’s been a learning curve to use. It can dry out your skin if you don’t follow the usage instructions properly, however when it’s used correctly i...
Tretinoin (topical route)
I tend to pick at my skin so I use this on my larger acne breakouts after they’ve closed to help with the scarring.
Mederma® Advanced Scar Gel
This is a product that I keep in my rotation on days when i’m not using my tretinoin. It’s a product that you can actively feel working, as anytime i’ve used this on a relatively fresh spot it burns for a second and then cools immediately after
EradiKate™ Acne Mark Fading Gel
This combined with the face cleanser is perfection. This moisturizer is very light weight, but it gets the job done, and even on days where I don’t want to touch my skin, I will wash it and just put this on and feel cleaner
Superfood Air-Whip Moisture Cream
This is a product I use more for my body acne in the shower, however I also sometimes use this when I have open acne areas on my face just to cleanse them out from any dust or dirt that I’ve picked up during the day through the air. Do avoid getting ...
Hibiclens | Antibacterial and Antimicrobial skin cleanser
This is yet another thing I keep in my skincare rotation for days when I don’t want to use my tretinoin, this can also be used as an eye cream with the eye masks
Serum For Discoloration & Dark Spots- Faded Serum
I ALWAYS cover up active sites on my face during the day when i’m not wearing makeup as well as at night when i’m sleeping
Mighty Patches: Original, Invisible and Face
I take these as a supplement for my hair mainly, but it’s also been said to have benefits for your skin as well
Nutricost Biotin 10000mcg Vitamin B7, 240
While on the pricier side, this cream is my go to before applying makeup. since some of my acne can cause dry flaking skin, this product is my holy grail in hydration. It’s thick and plumping and a little goes a long way so you can really get your mo...
Benefiance Wrinkle Smoothing Cream
a prescription strength retinoid without needing a note from your dermatologist
Effaclar Duo | Acne Spot Treatment
I prefer these kinds of cleansers because they feel like they're cleaning out your pores without stripping your skins barrier
Normaderm PhytoAction Salicylic Acid Gel Cleanser
