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:
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 I enjoy it, 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!

This product just wasnโt a good fit for me.
I wanted an eye cream with a tiny bit of coverage to help brighten my eye area without looking too heavy like concealer sometimes does on me. Unfortunately this product didnโt meet any of my expectations. This cream wasnโt moisturizing enough and this would cause the brightening pigment to cling to the dryer inner corners of my eyes. I tried to apply additional moisturizing products on underneath to help this lay better, but then I ALWAYS had problems with this product pilling. I couldnโt layer this with anything. This also stung occasionally when I applied it so it was literally a pain to use. Iโm just glad I got this on sale because the regular price (around $30!) just isnโt worth it.
I suppose I can see how this may still work for some people, but I believe thereโs better and more affordable alternatives out there. Iโve currently been using Naturiumโs Vitamin Bright Illuminating Eye Cream and been having much better results. Plus itโs more affordable and comes in different shades. If you want my advice, go with the Naturium option over this First Aid Beauty eye cream.

sometimes stings and/or pills
