This girlie is STRONG! I don’t recommend it for everyday use, but 2-3x a week will do wonders for your skin! Trust me ✨
3.0 oz Acne Foaming Wash with 10% Benzoyl Peroxide - PanOxyl | Ulta Beauty

PM Overnight Spot Patches - PanOxyl | Ulta Beauty
I ONLY use these when I have to leave the house and don’t want people staring at any huge cysts or pimples I have. I think it’s much cuter to have a star on my face rather than an angry red blemish 😭✨

Resurfacing Retinol Serum - CeraVe | Ulta Beauty
Azelaic Acid is another product that’ll help brighten up those dark spots! I tend to pick at my skin a bit so this suspension has been saving my skin from having an incredibly bad uneven skin tone.
Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% for Exfoliation & Even Skin Tone

Retinal 0.2% Emulsion High-Strength Retinoid Nighttime Treatment - The Ordinary | Ulta Beauty
