facial cleansers
my favorite face wash of all time!!! other cleansers i’ve tried strip my face of all the oils and cause breakouts, this one keeps my skin clear and happy :)
**used daily, morning & night
Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Facial Cleanser
i use this cleanser in the summer when my skin is oilier ! strips the excess oil and leaves all the good
Toleriane Purifying Foaming Facial Wash
my go-to for gently removing makeup! never harsh or drying. my skin personally hates oil cleansing or makeup removing balms, but micellar water has never failed me
Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water
for incredibly stubborn acne, this is a lifesaver. definitely worth a try if you're younger and not ready to use retinoids just yet
PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash Benzoyl Peroxide 10%
retinoids & exfoliants
i use this every time my skin breaks out!
**i only apply this at night, typically 1-2 times a week
Effaclar Adapalene Gel 0.1% | Retinoid for Acne
literally botox in a bottle !! my forehead lines have literally disappeared, i love this product so much
**i use this nightly, unless im applying my adapalene retinoid then i skip this
truly that girl for skin texture concerns! as long as you're pairing this with a good moisturizer, this product will be your best friend!
Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant
works for sooo many purposes! i even appy this to my armpits to help reduce sweating & odor! a true staple in my beauty routine
Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner
serums
this has helped lighten my acne scars so much !!
**i use it every other day in the morning

Lipikar AP+M Triple Repair Body Moisturizer For Dry Skin
