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!

Just bought my 5th bottle!

This is possibly my most repurchased product. Benzoyl peroxide is a fantastic ingredient to fight the bacteria that causes acne but it can be so drying. I consider my skin to be combination because Iโm acne prone, but I defiantly lean dry and itโs hard to find products that cater to both acne prone and dry skin. Unlike many BP products Iโve tried, this cleanser does NOT cause me to become a raisin but still combats my acne. I highly recommend this for dry acne prone skin! Itโs a creamy, scentless, non-foaming formula, and itโs enjoyable to massage into skin. Some dry skinned people may still struggle a bit, so hereโs a few tips that Iโve found to help me to not dry out my skin during my cleansing step. 1. Start with an oil cleanser (even if you arenโt wearing makeup) to gently buff away dry/flakey skin. Itโs gentler on your skin to use an oil to soften and buff away flakey skin rather than accidentally rubbing too harshly with a scrub or cleanser. 2. You can use your favorite hydrating cleanser after this BP wash if you find that this one alone is still to drying (I like the Hero Cosmetics Gentle Milky Cleanser) 3. After you wash off your cleanser, apply a simple hydrating serum or essence onto damp skin (look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, polyglutamic acid, or any other humectants you enjoy) to avoid that tight skin feeling that can occur after cleansing. Wait for this to absorb before moving onto the next step of your routine.
