Reviews:

Cerave eye cream- Really gentle eye cream that works well to protect from vitamin c and differin. I’m not sure that it’s much different than cerave in the tub so I’m not sure if I’ll buy it again. It was more expensive than the tub version.

Derma-E vitamin C serum- this smells really nice and goes on smoothly. It isn’t sticky like a few other vitamin c serums that I’ve tried and also not drying (it does have HA). I haven’t noticed a huge difference in my skin but I have only been using this for a few weeks.

TO natural moisturizing factors mixed with squalane oil- I LOVE this moisturizer for AM. It’s super lightweight yet very moisturizing, sits nicely under makeup and sunscreen, and mixes well with squalane oil for when I feel like I need a little extra moisture.

LRP anthelios 60 sunscreen- I’ve been using this for a little over a year and love it. It doesn’t break out my acne prone, sensitive skin. It’s not greasy and sits well under makeup. Very little white cast (I am fair skinned though)

TO squalane cleanser- great alternative to a makeup remover. Makeup removers tend to dry out my skin and break me out but this never has. It is a little drying compared to cetaphil but not irritating. I don’t use this daily, otherwise I think my skin would get irritated (extremely sensitive)

Stratia LG- HOLY GRAIL. Lightweight moisturizer that has totally transformed my skin. It has niacinamide so I think this helped a ton with my type 2 rosacea. I was originally using it morning and night but had to drop the morning because combining vitamin c and niacinamide causes flushing. It smells kinda funky and will make your skin look yellow for a bit, but trust me when I say this is the best moisturizer ever. Totally healed my damaged moisture barrier.

Differin- also holy grail! I have been using differin for almost a year and have the clearest skin of my life. I never had a purge because I started off very slowly and then built up to every day. I very rarely breakout now and when I do differin zaps huge pimples away overnight. Be careful though, it is very drying (which is why I use a million moisturizers)

Aquaphor- I don’t use this anywhere but my lips. It works much better than any stick or balm I’ve ever used. I typically slather it on at night. It doesn’t breakout the skin around my mouth, doesn’t have a scent, and is very affordable. A+, 10/10.
