This is my holy grail. I got really bad acne last year and then after the acne was gone then came the pie(post inflammatory erythema) which are the red spots left behind. This and my azelaic acid serum worked overtime to get rid of that. I love topic...

So, this is the azelaic acid that I’m still using and I actually really like it. I bought this while using the naturium azelaic acid and now it’s my go to serum, not to discredit the naturium one because it’s also really good but once I start using a...

This is the first azelaic acid serum that I’ve used and I absolutely adore this brand and it’s really good. Definitely needed this in my early days of PIE.

This is another serum I like to use before I put on my makeup. It’s quite nice because it really hydrates my face and my makeup looks great on top of it. It is a hyped up product for a reason.

I started out with this tinted sunscreen because I was told that it was good for my PIE. I do like it because it’s so sheer, you can barely see it. I also like to use this on days where I don’t feel like putting makeup on.
Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 Face Sheer Tint, Shade: Medium

Another hyped product actually worth the hype! It’s really lightweight and doesn’t leave a white cast.

This moisturizer is quite good and very affordable. It works the same as any moisturizer I’ve ever used. I usually use this but sometimes I alternate but I like to stick to this so my skin doesn’t have any issues.

I love this moisturizer because the first thing I saw was squalane which is another great ingredient for if you have PIE.

OMG if i had to recommend anything for acne that completely made it disappear then this would be IT. big thanks to my dermatologist for putting me onto the pledgets instead of the cream. I use this right after I’m done washing my face and if you coul...
Clindamycin Topical Pledgets

So, I used this after I oil cleanse everyday for 4 months and it worked wonders. I know that every acne prone girly knows about this product but I feel like not everyone is using it properly so then it feels like it doesn’t work as well.
PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash Benzoyl Peroxide 10%

Okay so this isn’t necessarily skin care related but I love this product because you don’t lose orbital fat around your eyes but it also works really well and my lashes have grown so long because of this.
Advanced Eyelash Serum for Thicker, Longer Lashes

I use this product before I apply any of my skin care except for when I was using the clindamycin(which i stopped). It’s really good for clearing out any little bumps that you might get and I feel like it helps soak up the rest of my skin care.

This is honestly the best oil cleanser that I’ve used so far. I am currently using the skin1004 oil cleanser and it’s good plus I don’t like to waste product so I’m still going to keep using that till it finishes but after that I will be getting back...

This is my favorite mask to sleep in. I wake up with such moisturized skin. I know this is also a very hyped product but I absolutely love it. Also, side note, I don’t really know how it would be if you have acne currently only because when I had acn...

I used this product back when I was washing my face with panoxyl everyday because my skin would be so dry and it helped to keep my skin in tact. I do still use this product whenever my current moisturizer runs out so love this product down

If you’re going to get anything from biologique then this should be it. I was using this mask perpetually when I had acne and it worked wonders. I still use this mask for when I break out a little and it still does the job.

This is another face mask I used constantly when I had acne. I still use it to this day. I feel like people don’t use face masks enough, it’s so helpful and worked so well for me.

This is my daily cleanser now. I love using this after I oil cleanse. It’s quite affordable yet still good so you really get the bang for your buck.

I love this product for when I’m traveling!! They also carry a cute travel size one so it’s perfect and will pass the tsa check.

I use this whenever I’m at my sister’s place and it was super effective at getting rid of my waterproof mascara even without the use of the garnier all in 1 waterproof micellar water which I normally use before oil cleansing.

This is the reason why I still wear waterproof mascara and all my lashes are still in tact. I love you garnier all in 1 waterproof micellar water.
