items These are the skincare products I will take with me to my grave! All of them are products that I regularly use and highly recommend. I am 22yo with sensitive, oily, and acne prone skin and these are all skincare products that I can’t live without.
My ride or die sunscreen. The sunscreen that made me love sunscreen. Using SPF daily is a must!! I wear this every day. It sits so nicely under makeup and layers well with all of my skincare. Non-greasy, water-fit formula allows it to settle into my ...
Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF50 PA++++ - 50ml ...
Gentle yet powerful retinoid. Prescription strength, yet available over the counter. My dermatologist recommended this to treat my existing acne and prevent new breakouts, including blackheads, closed comedones, whiteheads, and even sebaceous filamen...
Differin Acne Treatment Gel, 30 Day Supply
This is my absolute favorite chemical exfoliant. Award winning, leave-on chemical exfoliant with 2% salicylic acid. Exfoliating properties help to unclog your pores, control oil, smooth skin texture and brighten skin. I have very sensitive skin so I ...
Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant - Paula's Choice
This has been my ride or die face wash for years. I use it twice a day in the summer, and once at night in the dryer months. It is great for my oily skin, but will also work for normal skin. Makes my skin clean, without stripping my skin if needed mo...
PM - CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser, Daily Face Wash for Normal to Oily Skin, 12 fl oz
Not the most aesthetic product, but one that you won’t ever get rid of. This simple bar of antibacterial soap has so many uses. I personally use it for body acne and body odor. It’s antibacterial soap that clears away the bacteria on your skin that c...
Antibacterial Bar Soap For All Skin Types
This body wash has gotten everyday use for the past 3 years. Could not live without it. My skin and eczema needs sensitive skin-safe products or else it’s a mess. I always get the 2 pack of the big bottles from Walmart because I use so much of this s...
Dove Sensitive Skin
If I had to choose one thing to take with me on a deserted island, it would be my aquaphor. Its dermatologist recommended, sensitive skin-safe, supports your skin barrier, and is basically a cure all. I put it on my eyelashes at night to help them st...
Aquaphor products at Target
I lost count of how many of these I have in my possession currently. This is the only chapstick I use. I like to use this one for my lips rather than the tube kind because it’s easy to use apply without having to use my finger, and doesn’t spread aro...
Aquaphor® Lip Repair Stick
This one is a must try if you are someone who deals with eczema or severely dry skin. Although it is a body lotion, I like to use this on my face when my eczema is flaring. This was used frequently over the winter on my body and my face to nourish my...
Lipikar AP+M Triple Repair Body Moisturizer For Dry Skin
This is more of a recent obsession of mine, but I have a good feeling it will be a part of my routine for long haul. Super light formula that absorbs instantly with no stickiness. Great for layering with other skincare. This toner with 77% heartleaf ...

If you are looking for a light weight, nourishing moisturizer for summer, this has you covered. I use it in the morning, after toner and before spf. It is a gel moisturizer that absorbs into your skin quickly and gives you hydrated skin with a subtle...
H-DEW-O Blue Spirulina Gel Moisturizer
I used to think that gua sha was a scam, but after trying it, I was shocked at the difference it made in my face. It promotes blood circulation as well as lymphatic drainage. Whenever my face is looking puffy or shapeless (my cheeks are usually the w...
Jade Gua Sha Skincare Tool - EcoTools
Another not-so aesthetic product that is phenomenal. It is a sulfur mask that is used to treat clogged pores. I get super stubborn sebaceous filaments on my nose that seem to never go away. This product makes them magically disappear. But I will warn...
De La Cruz® Acne Treatment Maximum Strength with 10% Sulfur ...
This is the perfect spf to reapply over makeup. It is so hard to find good sunscreens that can go on top of makeup without ruining it or making my skin a greasy mess. I’ve tried all the sprays you could think of, and most of them are too oily for my ...
SCINIC - Enjoy All Round Airy Sun Cushion EX SPF50+ PA++++ - 25g
This is a cheaper alternative to the Paula’s Choice BHA exfoliant. They basically do the same thing, this one just may be a tiny bit harsher, but still not nearly enough to be a problem for my ultra sensitive skin. I also like to use this on my under...
PanOxyl Clarifying Exfoliant with 2% Salicylic Acid - 4 fl oz
If you easily inflamed skin, you need this. I always keep an ice roller in my freezer at all times in case I have an emergency face freak out. This is great for depuffing your face and pushing products into the skin for better penetration. But I like...
Terracotta Ice Roller
Most people know of pimple patches and may have tried other brands, but nothing compares to the original Mighty Patch pimple patches. They are the best on the market, and trust me because I have tried many. I always have some on hand.
Mighty Patch™ Original Pimple Patch | 36 Count
The results from tretinoin cream are so worth the wait. Benefits include improved skin texture, less breakouts, blackheads and clogged pores, even skin tone, and even fights fine lines and wrinkles. I do not use this at the same time as my differen g...
Tretinoin Cream 0.025% | Benefits, uses and side-effects
Once you start using washcloths to dry your face, you will never go back to your dingy, bacteria filled hand towel. I have a collection of about a dozen of these washcloths so that I can use a fresh, clean one every time I wash my face. Using clean t...
