Acne Safe Makeup
Non comedogenic products you can feel safe using!
The best concealer for covering up acne or helping smooth out acne scarring. I don't go a day without it!
Soft Matte Complete Concealer
I love this foundation as someone with combo skin. It's very thin, but has amazing coverage. It's more hydrating but not so much that I'm an oil slick at the end of the day. Non comedogenic, so it's acne safe!
Beautiful Skin: Hydrating Foundation: 4 Neutral
This powder is amazing. The price is great, the coverage is great, and the shade selection is great. I'll set my face with this and it just smooths everything out. It's not drying, and it doesn't accentuate any dryness on your face. When I use too mu...
Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Pressed Face Powder Makeup - 0.29oz
The best concealer for under eyes and covering redness around your nose! It's full coverage but doesn't look heavy or drying.
Triclone Skin Tech Hydrating + De-Puffing Concealer
This is the only primer I've ever seen targeted at helping fill in and smooth acne scars. I use it under makeup or on days without makeup I'll use it to smooth everything out. It's truly a unique product.
Topicals Sealed Active Scar Filling Primer for Acne Prone Skin
This setting spray feels like hairspray on your face, it's not hydrating at all. But it will lock in your makeup for the day, which I especially need in hot Texas humidity. It doesn't have any pore clogging ingredients either!
ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr On 'Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray
The more affordable drugstore version of the One Size setting spray. It's a really good dupe!
L'Oreal Paris Infallible 3-Second Up to 36HR Wear Setting Spray - 1.76oz
I'm usually scared of cream products because most of them have pore clogging ingredients. This one does not! It blends easy and looks like a natural tan on your face.
Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Warm Wishes Effortless Cream Bronzer Stick
This is my favorite makeup sponge. I use it for my liquids and my powders. It smooths everything out and blends very nicely. It's better than a beauty blender and less than half the price. Its great cause you wash it every day with soap before use, u...
JUNOCO Original Microfiber Velvet Sponge
Skincare
The best zit stickers ive ever tried hands down. The micropoint ones are the only kind that's ever done anything for a cystic pimple for me. It pokes little holes in it and sucks all the goo out so it'll flatten overnight. Pricy but so worth it.
ZitSticka
The only facial sunscreen I have used for years now. It doesn't break you out like a lot of sunscreens tend to do. It feels like a silicone primer, so there's no crazy rubbing in like a cream or white cast. It smooths everything out and is perfect fo...
Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen Invisible Broad Spectrum SPF 50 PA +++
Hypochlorous Acid spray saved me from getting those tiny white zits that would pop up overnight. I started using it and they went away! Now I can't go a day without it. After I wash my face I spray it and then pat in moisturizing serum while it's sti...
Hypochlorous Acid Products | Skin Repair & Facial Spray
Azelaic acid is one of the most underrated ingredients for acne. It's not super drying like benzoyl peroxide. It helps kill bacteria on your skin and brighten your complexion after the zits gone to eliminate any hyperpigmentation. You don't need a fa...
Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% for Exfoliation & Even Skin Tone
These acne patches are perfect for anywhere on your body. If you have a whole cheek full of zits I just slap one of these on the whole area. Or if I'm not needing a whole one at one time I cut off pieces for each zit. It makes them last a lot longer ...
GOO GETTER Body
Will your face stink like rotten eggs after using this? Yes, yes it will. But is it worth it for the results? Yes! Yes it is. I use it as a face mask in the shower to help clear up cystic pimples. I leave it on for 5 minutes and rinse off. It slightl...
De La Cruz Maximum Strength Acne Treatment Ointment - 2.6 oz
This exfoliant is unique in the fact that it's just the gritty powder, you can add some to any face wash you want to customize your exfoliater! Add as much or as little as you want, it's a gentler exfoliant.
Daily Microfoliant Exfoliator Smooths & Brightens Skin
This is my tried and true face wash. I always end up coming back to it if I switch things up. It's affordable and lasts forever. It's just a gentle, non stripping face wash. Face wash should be the least expensive part of your skincare routine becaus...
Cerave Hydrating Cleanser
This is my favorite cleansing balm, it works just as good if not better than expensive ones. You need to double cleanse your skin to get off all the makeup and sunscreen on your face. You'll break out for sure if you're not removing all of it properl...
e.l.f. SKIN Holy Hydration Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm - 2 oz
I know this is a weird item to be listed under skincare but hear me out! I used to break out around my mouth a lot and I figured out it was because a common ingredient in most toothpastes were making that happen. This toothpaste doesn't have pore clo...
Sensodyne Toothpaste: Whitening, Enamel Repair, & Gum Care Options
I started using these recently, I always thought it was a silly item when wash cloths exist. But I decided to give them a try and I do feel like they help keep my skin clear.
Clean Skin Club Clean Towels XL™ 100% USDA Biobased
This adds so much moisture into your skin. Korean skincare is legit! It's affordable and effective.
medicube Salmon DNA PDRN Pink Peptide Serum
Now that I'm the ripe old age of 29 I need an eye cream! This Korean skincare one is just what I need! It's affordable, it's moisturizes, and it brightens!
Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Bakuchiol Eye Cream
This stuff is powerful! I don't use it every day, usually every other day in the shower. Specifically in the shower cause it'll bleach your towels and bedding easily! But it helps dry out acne and prevent new ones. I use it as a mask sometimes in the...
PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash Benzoyl Peroxide 10%
This is a new discovery of mine, it's a Korean sunscreen. It's very lightweight and moisturizing. More affordable than my usual Super goop! Doesn't break you out either.
VitaBoost Hyalu CICA Water-fit Sun Serum 50ML
