My non-negotiable first step, morning and night. It cleans without that tight, stripped feeling.
CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser
This is how I actually get my makeup off. If you wear SPF or makeup daily, don't skip this step.
La Roche-Posay Micellar Cleansing
it's soothing, which is exactly what sensitive skin needs. It needs progress but noticed less redness within the first month.
Paula's Choice Skin Recovery Calming Face Toner
This unclogs pores without the harsh scrub feeling. I only use it twice a week so it doesn't overdo it on my sensitive skin.
Paulas Choice SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA
My go-to when a breakout actually shows up. It targets the spot without drying out everything around it.
Effaclar Duo | Acne Spot Treatment
It's gentle enough for regular use, but you do have to be consistent to see results. Worth the patience.
The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10%
This adds moisture without adding weight or heaviness. It's the step people tend to neglect
CeraVe Hyaluronic Acid Serum
This is my barrier-repair step, especially on nights when my skin feels reactive.
CeraVe Moisturizing Cream
An emergency step when a spot shows up overnight. They protect the area and speed up healing without me picking at it. Cheap, easy, and genuinely effective.
