Works great for keeping blackheads and acne at bay. There’s a reason so many dermatologists recommend it!

It’s worth the hype! Good exfoliant to give you a glow and get rid of dead skin that may be blocking your pores and causing texture.

A must have for literally everyone. You never know when you will have a break out and the Mighty Patch brand is the only one I use to quickly get rid of pimples. I’ve tried other pimple patches, and none even come close to Might Patch.

A cheaper alternative to the Paula’s Choice BHA Exfoliant, but just as effective. I use a few times a week to help with blackheads and those small annoyed bumps.

I recommend this soap for annoying body acne. I used this on my shoulders, especially after an active day, when I know bacteria is waiting to dig into my skin and cause pimples.

This one’s not a recommendation for a specific brand, but ice rollers in general. These things alone have saved my skin on many occasions. When I fall victim to skin picking, I always look for my ice rollers to calm down my redness and inflammation.

I don’t know about you, but my skin doesn’t feel clean unless my face wash is foaming. This purifying cleanser makes my skin feel so refreshed and I know there isn’t a hint of makeup or dirt on my face when I’m done using it.

I got this cleanser to help when my eczema was at its worst and my skin could only tolerate the gentlest of formulas, and it was just what I needed. I like to use this cleanser when my skin barrier needs some TLC after I get carried away with my acne...

Not exactly a cleanser per se, but amazing nonetheless. Takes my makeup off quickly and without the need for harsh rubbing. Doesn’t break me out and has never done me wrong. Always follow with your usual face wash.

My go-to cleanser for years! Gentle enough to not irritate my sensitive skin and eczema, but powerful enough to make my oily skin actually feel clean. Simple and trustworthy basic cleanser

Moisturizer

Another winner from Cerave. Tried and true daily moisturizer that I have used almost daily for years. Always does the trick without leaving my skin feeling greasy or looking shiny. Perfect basic moisturizer for every day use.

This moisturizer was recommended to me by my dermatologist while I was on accutane because of how effective it is at its job. Feels cooling and lightweight on your skin. I love it because of how plump and healthy my skin looks after I use it.
