The holy grail. My skin can get very dry even when I have an active breakout. I slug this on at night after the magic molecule spray

Anna Black profile picture
Love this eye cream especially during an acne flare bc it is gentle and non irritating
Eye Repair Cream for Dark Circles, Puffiness & Wrinkles
 
Anna Black profile picture
Another cleanser I will sometimes use during acne flares. If my acne is very inflamed and red, I go with the vanicream. But as it starts to calm I will use this one - only if I have makeup on. I don’t use this first thing in the morning.
Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Facial Cleanser | Clinically Tested, Derm Recommended
 
Anna Black profile picture
Perfect light moisturizer. I use this in the morning after magic molecule spray followed by sunscreen of course. If the la roche posay balm is too heavy for the evening I will use this instead.
PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion
 
Anna Black profile picture
Love love this sunscreen. It’s what I use daily. I know it doesn’t work for some people that are acne prone, I will link the other option I have used.
UV Clear SPF 46 Sunscreen for Acne-Prone Skin
 
Anna Black profile picture
This is the other one I have used. Disclaimer! If your acne is flaring and very inflamed I would suggest not using this. The ceramides in it can be irritating. The elta md is what I use during an active flare and even when my acne is not flaring.
