feels great on the skin

I have acne and the Milk Blur Liquid Foundation is AMAZING! Good Luck!

You might need a hydrator and a moisturizer... use the hydrator wherever you get really dry and a moisturizer everywhere. A hydrator is going to go deeper into the skin (into the dermis) while a moisturizer only adds moisture to the outer layer (the epidermis). My personal favorite hydrator is the Clinique moisture surge because I have extremely send skin. A lot of Clinique products irritate my skin but not this one.

I use Patchology masks as primer... leave mask on for 5 minutes then remove and let the remaining serum soak in ... then apply makeup for a dewy look!

Hi there! I have eczema and dry skin—super sensitive. I use a LOT of neutrogena products. I have a picture of my night routine in order.

aquaphor was a life saver for me! also cerave face wash and their day & night face lotion saved my skin no doubt.

im a huge fan of the clean and clear oil free moisturizer. it changed my oily skin for the better.

First, try this Acne Triple Clear to cleanse your skin (especially if you have acne, works wonders)! Then, try this St. Ives Apricot and Walnut Shell powder exfoliating scrub, it leaves my skin feeling smooth and it rids of dead skin cells. Use a Neutrogena toner (don't gave a picture), then use a Ponds moisturizing cream. All of these products are cheap and are available at a drugstore or Target.

I love using the Thayers Rose petal witch hazel Alcohol- Free Toner

SAME. My skin is also extremely sensitive so a lot of products don’t work for me. I’m allergic to fragrance and certain ingredients cause my skin to inflame and break out more. I will say that I spend more money on skincare than I do makeup. A great cleaners is Youth to the People Superfood cleanser, a good drugstore option is the Simple Water Boost Sensitive Skin Micellar Facial Gel Wash (Walmart). Toner wise, my fave (and holy grail skincare brand) is the CosRX Green Tea calming pads. CosRX is K beauty brand and it’s very affordable with amazing results. I apply this right after I rinse off my face, or hop out of the shower. I apply it while my face is still wet just because it stops your skin from feeling tight and helps your skin retain the water and moisture on your face (for a quick purchase, Walmart app. For cheaper, YesStyle). Lastly, my fave moisturizer is also by CosRX and it’s the Green Tea Aqua Soothing Gel (yesstyle) it’s lightweight, leaves the skin nice and soft, and doesn’t have any irritating or harsh ingredients. As a disclaimer, I’m also taking Curology. It’s a slow progress, but it’s giving me that boost my acne needed because working out, drinking 100-120 ounces of water, eating healthy, and keeping up with my skincare did not clear it up. Results from just the skin care routine may work better for you if you don’t have extremely sensitive skin like myself. Finally what to watch out for: 1. Avoid the Mario Badescu, it’s aimed at teens and it’s full of non-beneficial skin care ingredients with fragrances that irritate more than harm. Also, make sure that your moisturizing your skin. 2. A common misconception is that oily skin is already moisturized from the oil production. This is false. While oily skin is better in the long run than dry, painfully cracked and irritated skin. Oily prone skin needs love too. When oily skin is dehydrated or not properly moisturize your skin actually produces more sebum/oil in result causing your skin to be even more oily. 3. If you’re a make up wearer and you use a sponge (which is much better than a brush, especially for acne blemishes due to bristle irritating or flaking acne), make sure you clean your sponge every 2-3 days with unscented djsh soap like Dawn. Also be careful with concealer’s that have doe foot applicators. When your concealing blemishes with a concealer that has a doe foot, A lot of the times it can make your acne worse. The reason for that is because the applicator can harbor bacteria over time and when you dab it on a blemish, and put it back into the product, reuse it day after day, it will harbor more more bacteria with every use. If you have a good full coverage foundation, that’s all you really need. For me personally, I don’t care what people think, but sometimes when my acne was outrageous I was uncomfortable, especially if I looked extremely oily on top of that.  As long as I have a good full coverage foundation, that evens out my skin tone and reduces that bright red color of acne I’m ok. I am so sorry that this is such a long post, but I wanted to make sure that you were well informed because i know the struggles and the stresses of acne. I hope this helps!

I had the same problem, I work at Ulta and one of my coworkers recommended this overnight mask from origins and it worked wonders. I use a box chemical peel from Exuviance twice a week and I’ll use this after those or an extra day if I feel like I need it. You only want to use an exfoliant twice a week at most too and I found for me using this after the exfoliant made my skin feel so much better in the morning than it did using just a moisturizer after.

This was a game changer for my stubborn acne

No

I’ve been using the bliss serum with hyaluronic acid + niacinamide and i’ve been loving it!

This is absolutely amazing, it’s a gel consistency and sinks in very quickly without any sort of greasy feeling or white cast. I’ve tried more American sunscreens than I care to think about and everything single one has left me with burning skin and a rash on my face, but this one feels nice and cooling on the skin and has never caused a bad reaction for me.

hey! i have the same issue. except my skin is a bit sensitive so i use more of all natural products. in the morning, for cleanser i use Lush’s Aquamarina. after i use their toner Breathe of Fresh Air. then use an eye cream &’ moisturize with @Clear Improvement Pore Clearing Moisturizer With Bamboo Charcoal . my night routine i use the same cleanser, @Extra Gentle Daily Scrub every other night only because it’s not as harsh as other scrubs, my toner from Lush (name up top) , eye cream and this serum which helps with redness, blemishes, and literally ANYTHING you can think of, it’s the link above and i do that every night

Shea moisture has a bunch of really good skincare with great ingredients and a newer brand called Your Good Skin has some products that feel lovely on the face. I know u want drugstore but if u could get a small Clinique 3-step treatment pack (they often go on sale for even $10 at Ulta) It works FAST as far as acne and hyperpigmentation. It also includes the dramatically different moisturizer which someone also mentioned I see and I totally agree 😍
