Purple Star emoji 12 items
The hard part about having dry, acne prone skin is that many moisturizers and hydration treatments have comedogenic (acne-causing) ingredients and many acne treatments dry out your skin. Additionally, I have discovered that a lot of skin care product...

HOLY GRAIL PRODUCT FOR ACNE

 
Sydney P profile picture
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.

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***

BEST mid-price cleanser. Leaves my skin feeling moisturized but doesn’t clog pores!

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 ...

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...

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 ...

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...

Acne Treatments

 
Sydney P profile picture
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...

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 ...
