HOLY GRAIL PRODUCT FOR ACNE
This is my HOLY GRAIL acne treatment. I have been trying so hard to put everyone on this because it is SO good. I assumed sulfur would be harsh on my skin and dry it out but it doesn’t AT ALL. This is the only product I’ve tried that actually gets ri...
I LOVE this cleanser. It’s super cheap and doesn’t make my skin feel dry and stripped like many do, and it doesn’t cause me to break out.
Noxzema Classic Clean Original Deep Cleansing Cream - Eucalyptus Scented - 12oz
This is my favorite higher-cost cleanser. I always ask for this for Christmas because I don’t like to pay for it myself, but the cost is more than worth it if you can afford it! ***May not be appropriate if your skin is sensitive to fragrance***
Tatcha The Rice Wash Skin-Softening Cleanser
BEST mid-price cleanser. Leaves my skin feeling moisturized but doesn’t clog pores!
FIRST AID BEAUTY-Pure Skin Face Cleanser
Must specifically be the moisturizing lotion, NOT the moisturizing cream which can be too thick for some acne prone people. The is one of the only moisturizers I’ve tried that is hydrating enough for my very dry skin without clogging my pores. Using ...
Vanicream Moisturizing Lotion Pump 16oz
Great brand overall! Moisturizes well without breaking me out. Most thicker moisturizers are comedogenic (pore-clogging), but many lightweight ones are not moisturizing enough. This is one of the few lightweight moisturizers that actually hydrates my...

Serums & Toners for Dry Skin
After I FINALLY got rid of the worst of my acne, I struggled with skin texture, dullness, and uneven tone. I started doing the skin flooding method (layering more than one moisturizing toner) with this toner and the other one linked in this list and ...

haruharu Wonder Black Rice Probiotics Essence 4.05oz
I know it seems weird but it is a VERY powerful humectant (it attracts and binds to water molecules) that helps so much with drawing moisture into your skin. It’s like hyaluronic acid on steroids. I put this on before any serums/toners and let it sit...
SimpleNature 100% Pure Vegetable Glycerin 32oz
Acne Treatments
Great for face AND body acne. It is slightly drying but not nearly as bad as most high-strength acne treatments. I use it once a week on my face as a 10 minute mask and every day in the shower as a bacne treatment. If you have more severe acne and wa...
PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash Benzoyl Peroxide 10%
Just putting this here a second time because it is THAT good!
The face mask that accompanies my holy grail acne treatment! I use this 2-3 times a week before I get in the shower, but it is gentle enough to use every day if you are trying to get rid of a lot of acne. It helped get rid of my acne so quickly, and ...
