My starter recommendations. Some general tips: -Especially if you have sensitive skin, simple is best. The fewer products and the fewer ingredients, the lower the chance of irritation. I like to focus on soothing, healing ingredients. -Best practice is to only introduce 1 new product at a time so that you know how your skin reacts to it. Skin care is super individual and you may have weird sensitivities. But most of my recommendations are pretty safe for acne-prone, sensitive skin. -Actives (Vit C, retinol, BPO) are great for targeting specific concerns, but try not to use too many at the same time. It can damage the skin barrier and make things worse.
