Good chemical exfoliating toner. It isn’t too hard or abrasive on the the skin but still gets the job done. I usually recommend this to people that have more combo or oily problem skin. Doesn’t burn or sting like some other chemical exfoliators.

7.1 oz Niacinamide Cleansing Gelee 3% - Naturium | Ulta Beauty
I like to use this bar to wash my face at night to help with breakouts. The kaolin clay in it helps get rid of excess oil and the salicylic acid helps get rid of acne. Lasts a really long time especially for the price.
Clarify & Cleanse Bar - Good Molecules | Ulta Beauty
Sprays
Not a necessary step of skin care but I love it. It’s great to put on before moisturizer to lock in hydration or to just spray on when your skin is feeling a bit dry.
Balancing Ultra-Fine Face Mist - BYOMA | Ulta Beauty
This spray is antibacterial spray. I love using this after extracting acne, acne pops by itself, exercising (or getting sweaty), or just 2-3 times throughout the day sometimes. It helps get rid of bacteria that causes acne so it’s even good to use to...
