10 Skincare Products That Saved My Dry, Acne Prone Skin as a Licensed Esthetician
11
items If your skin ever feels tight, flaky, or dull—this list is for you. These are the hydrating heroes I rely on to keep my skin soft, smooth, and glowing all year round, especially during these Michigan winters in the exact order that I use them!
Double cleansing is key for all skin types. For dry and sensitive skin types, I always recommend using an oil cleanser for the first cleanse.
Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil
Usually foaming cleansers can dry me out but I swear this one doesn't. I use this after my oil cleanse and it REALLY helped with my acne breakouts without stripping my skin.
Special Cleansing Gel for Gentle, Effective Cleansing | 2nd Cleanse
Dry skin needs to exfoliate too! This powder helps to exfoliate dead skin cells but at the same time calms the skin. Gentle enough to use every day but if you have super sensitive skin, start with 2-3 times a week.
Daily Microfoliant Exfoliator Smooths & Brightens Skin
Truly hydrates dry skin while helping to rebuild skin barrier (which prevents acne breakouts) - 10/10 recommend ⭐️
Hydrating Milky Toner
I can't praise this product enough! If you are acne prone and have dry skin (you might have a damaged skin barrier but that's another conversation) definitely want to give this a try. It helped my skin so much and I will never stop buying it.
Multi-Active Toner, Hydrating Spray Toner
Makes my skin feel SO glowy and hydrated but extremely gentle. Also helped with my dark spots over time. Side note: also rated very highly (which is good) on the Yuka app which looks for dangerous and cancer causing ingredients in products.
Affordable Vitamin C Serum - SEPHORA COLLECTION
Just in general, BYOMA is a GREAT brand but this moisturizer was great and I believe it's the green tea in it that helped to soothe the skin around my lips. I usually use this at night under my La Roche Posay moisturizer during the winter.
Moisturising Gel Cream
Really helped to repair my damaged skin barrier and moisturize my dry skin — use this one at night🌙 and the one with SPF 30+ in the morning.
La Roche-Posay
Great morning moisturizer — you NEED suncscreen every single day. This helps prevent aging, wrinkles, sun cancer, and hyperpigmentation (aka dark spots).
Toleriane Double Repair Facial Moisturizer with SPF 30
HOLY GRAIL for my lips and if you ever get any dry patches!
Aquaphor Healing Ointment® (14oz.)
Key to clear skin is getting all that makeup off and this literally makes it melt and slide right off my face - even my waterproof mascaras.
