If I could fill my shopping cart with these, I would.
For reference, I have acne prone skin. I have oily skin with reoccurring dark spots. I also do not have the funds to try anything fancy.
I do try my best to find things that suit me.

Make sure to lather, then rub into your pores for a cleaner feel (  ̄▽ ̄)
Gentle Skin Cleanser - Face & Body Cleaner
I saw my sister use this. Her cystic acne cleared up using this.
PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash Benzoyl Peroxide 10% Maximum Strength ...
I tried this one as well. I remember that it did well against the little bumps that I usually have trouble with.
Acne Foaming Cream Cleanser
I saw on Tiktok that oil cleansers are great for the little sebaceous filaments on your nose. I chose this one! In my opinion, it smells good and leaves my nose and large pores so soft and clean. I'm really airing out my business, lol. Trust me, this...
Mini Gentle Cleansing Oil Makeup Remover

Serums for my own skin type! I have frequent dark spots that can form into acne scars. These products have saved my skin from many potential scars.

Lightning Wand | The Brightening Serum | 10 ml
I like to use this one, too. Currently, halfway through the bottle! ( ´・∀・`)
Discoloration Correcting Serum
I DID TRY THIS FANCY THING! It worked super well, although it does have an odd smell to it. I usually used it for my dark spots, but it also helped lighten the corners of my mouth as well, which I was not expecting.
La Roche-Posay Mela B3 Dark Spot Serum With Melasyl™ and Niacinamide (Various Sizes)
Moisturizer
Always moisturize your face! Even if you have an oily face like mine. Finding a great moisturizer that doesn't make my skin feel greasy, wet, or heavy is difficult. So far, I've only found one that is affordable and is good for my skin.
My skin always feels so bouncy. Just make sure to be careful around the eyes as with all products.
Face Moisturizers & Serums for All Skin Types
Acne Spot Treatments
Use when needed! I only use these when I notice I have a bigger and more painful zit coming in. I use these at night. Usually, when I wake up, the pimple has shrunk in size drastically or at least noticeably.
This works for me. It might be too harsh if you have sensitive skin. This can also bleach fabrics. You just gotta trust me on this one! It has helped with my acne so much!
Clearasil Benzoyle Peroxide Spot Treatment
Masks
I usually use masks once a week or when I need to. This helps me avoid overloading my skin with too many products.
I love Freeman. Always will be a fan of this brand for not only the price but for the quality too.
Face Masks
Toner
I've only tried one toner, and it hasn't disappointed me yet. When I find another toner that balances my skin as well as my current recommendation, I will be sure to add it to my list.
I used this when I had really bad hormonal acne. My skin since then has been relatively clear with minimal breakouts. It can be damaging to your skin barrier if you abuse it or use it too often. Every night or ever other night should be fine.
Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner
Body Care
Bodycare essentials allow my skin to feel its best while staying on a budget.
I FREAKIN LOVE THIS STUFF! My knees and elbows were always so dark. The area around my Achilles Tendon was always so dry. THIS SAVED MY SKIN! As well as dry brushing!
Palmer's Shea Butter Formula Raw Shea Nourishing Body Balm, 7.25 oz.
I personally use the "Ecotools Dry Brush," and I have noticed it has helped my cellulite. Also, I just like how relaxed I feel afterward. Yeah, sure, it feels like you're scratching your skin, but after a week of consistent use, you can feel the diff...
