Cleansers That Don’t Overstrip
this is the best face wash it last for mouths and it cleared up my acne since first use
CeraVe
This is the only cleanser I’ve used that didn’t irritate my skin at all. It’s super gentle, fungal acne-safe, and still manages to leave my face feeling fresh and clean without that tight, squeaky feeling.
Vanicream™ Gentle Facial Cleanser for Sensitive Skin
This one’s a lifesaver when my skin barrier is wrecked. It feels so soothing and creamy but still removes sunscreen and dirt. Zero breakouts, zero drama.
Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Facial Cleanser
A bit stronger, but it helped clear those deep, under-the-skin hormonal spots. I only use it a few times a week as a mask on my T-zone and it works wonders.
PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash Benzoyl Peroxide 10%
I thought it would smell weird (it doesn’t!) but it helped reduce both acne and fungal flare-ups SO much. I use it once or twice a week to keep things calm.

Neutrogena ® Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Gel Cream Fragrance Free 1.7 Fl. Oz
Tried and true. Light, calming, and works so well with actives. It never pills, even under makeup.

More of a body cream, but I’ll spot-apply it to dry patches on my face and it’s SO healing No reactions, just soft skin
