During COVID I got bad cystic acne for the first time & had to find things that would fix my skin. Now I’ve discovered my holy grail products that aren’t super spendy 🙌🏻
I LOVE these for exfoliating after cleansing my face. Done wonders for my acne that pops up
Medicube Red Succinic Acid Panthenol Peeling Pads
If you learn anything about taking care of your skin it’s that you NEED spf!! This one I love bc there’s skincare ingredients and it doesn’t have a horrible smell either. I love this as part of my skin prep routine before makeup :)
SPF Skin Care Products
I LOVE!!! This is my first step in makeup skin prep and it leaves my skin feeling hydrated and dewy. 11/10!!
Hydrating Milky Toner with Snow Mushroom - 12 oz.
The second step in my makeup skin prep!! So hydrating and makes my skin feeling so dewy and supple.
SEPHORA
I have used this as an alternative to my normal Paula’s choice exfoliating toner. It’s cheaper and has good ingredients. Love this in my routine!
SOME BY MI AHA BHA PHA 30 Days Miracle Toner 150ml
I noted a cheaper option in this list BUT this is a product I have purchased at least 5 times. It did wonders for my textured skin. It is spendy but definitely worth the hype
SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant
This is a new addition and I’ve bought it twice now! I love a gentle cleanser for exfoliating. There’s no harsh texture that tears the skin and it feels so nice when using.
Miracle Clear Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser - Rael
I truly stand by anything from this brand!! I’ve bought many cleansers and they’re all gentle and helpful for my skin. I’ve used this one the most!
Foaming Facial Cleanser for Normal to Oily Skin
I SWEAR BY THESE!! I’ve been buying since COVID and they save me from arising pimples daily.
Acne Pimple Master Patch - COSRX Official
This moisturizer is EVERYTHING!! When it gets a lot drier out my skin eats this up. It is so hydrating and just absolutely amazing on the skin
Shop Face Moisturizers, Lotions & Creams
I love using this in rotation of my other exfoliating toners!! It’s such a good price and can be used on your scalp as well as your skin!
Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner | 23% Off in Slowvember
When my skin was going through a freak out this was my staple. I always ALWAYS have a niacinamide in my routine and this one has never done me wrong.
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% | 23% Off in Slowvember
This is a great product to have when my skin is in need of a reset. It is a strong product so if your skin is more on the sensitive side I’d look into it first!
