Been dealing with painful acne since my teens, and only in the past few years have I gotten it really under control. Not only is my acne mostly gone, but I've also been able to improve my PIH/PIE and my dry rough skin. Now I'm a skincare addict, however I've given myself a $30 limit for each product (there are a few exceptions as occasionally I buy something on sale for $30 or less when it's normally more). So feel free to explore my routine and liked products for affordable recommendations.
AND SUNSCREEN IS A MUST! I'm very fair and experience sun allergies when outside without protection for very long. The bumps are itchy and can be red and painful. They can take about two weeks to go away completely so I try to be very diligent about sun protection.

Commonly disliked ingredients that DO NOT bother my skin:
โข Fragrance (I don't go overboard and will still avoid it where I can)
โข Astringents such as alcohol, witch hazel, or birch sap (when formulated into products)
โข Citrus extracts (I do try to avoid citrus oils however)
โข Tea tree oil (if formulated into a product it's fine, but I still try to avoid other essential oils)

Commonly liked ingredients that DO bother my skin:
โข Vitamin C (especially in higher percentages, it often stings)
โข Glycolic acid (especially in higher percentages, often makes me red. I prefer PHAs or BHAs with less than 0.5% strength)

How I personally rate and review products:
โญ๏ธ Terrible! Who was this product even meant for? I cannot recommend that anybody use it.
โญ๏ธโญ๏ธ Absolutely did not work for me at all, but it might for some people. Still, I canโt say I recommend the product. I believe there's a better alternative out there.
โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ Itโs not awful and didn't do anything terrible to my skin, but I personally did not enjoy using the product or see many results. Although, I imagine it could work well for some people.
โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ Product works, but thereโs just something about it I wish was better or different.
โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ Amazing! Product works very well and is enjoyable to use. I highly recommend!

A gentle addition to your acne routine
I like this product for days when I donโt want to use stronger actives and my skin just needs a break. I think this ampoule would be a good add-on to a routine, however I would not rely on it alone to treat your spots; I believe it would be best to use it along side something else like salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, or a retinoid. Having said that however, this isnโt the easiest product to apply. My biggest gripe with this product is the consistency. Itโs very watery so itโs easy to drip or spill it somewhere by accident. Iโve been mixing this with my toner/essences to make it easier to apply, but I kind of wish that AMPLE:N had just released this as a toner in a bigger bottle rather than this small ampoule. Itโs still a nice product, so you might want to check it out if your skin likes propolis.
