✧Acne Prone & Dry Skin✧
╚══*.·:·.☽✧ ✦ ✧☾.·:·.*══╝
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 up to 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:
• Fragrance (I don't go overboard and will still avoid it where I can)
• Astringents such as alcohol, witch hazel, or birch sap (when formulated into products)
• Citrus extracts (I do try to avoid citrus oils however)
• Tea tree oil (if formulated into a product I enjoy it, but I still try to avoid other essential oils)

Commonly liked ingredients that DO bother my skin:
• Vitamin C (especially in higher percentages, it often stings)
• 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:
⭐️ Terrible! Who was this product even meant for? I cannot recommend that anybody use it.
⭐️⭐️ Absolutely did not work for me at all, but it might for some people. Still, I can’t say I recommend the product. I believe there's a better alternative out there.
⭐️⭐️⭐️ It’s 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.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Product works, but there’s just something about it I wish was better or different.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing! Product works very well and is enjoyable to use. I highly recommend!

I love this cream, but the price hurts my soul (and wallet).
I personally don’t like to spend more than $30 on a single product, so I suggest waiting for a sale or buying a smaller size (this product is offered in 4 sizes, with the 1.7 Fl Oz jar being the default at $48). This moisturizer just works so well for my dry skin. It’s not too heavy and it absorbs quickly, but my skin is still left feeling very moisturized and soft. I’ve even seen that it helps to calm my redness. There’s a slight sweet and honey-esque smell to this cream, but it doesn’t linger and disappears after application so it’s not overpowering, but if you are sensitive to fragrance just keep in mind that this product contains “aroma”, which is just another word for fragrance. I think a lot of people would enjoy this product, so if you are on the hunt for a good moisturizer I recommend checking this one out, but like I said before, I think waiting for a sale is the best time to pick this one up because it is a bit pricy in my opinion.
