Acne Favs/ Routine

Ah, acne. We all have it, we all hate it, and we all want to get rid of it. This post is all about my go-to's when it comes to controlling my acne and cleaning my face! (A lot of the products I use are from the Clinique: Acne Solutions collection so I'll use CAS in the titles)

(Click the titles to shop)

CAS Cleansing Gel $22.50

I've used this soap for about 6 years I think and I love it. It's nothing special but it does the job: strips dirt, oil, and makeup remover residue, and it calms irritated redness and pimples. I use this every morning and nights when I am not showering.

CAS Clarifying Lotion $17.50

Another product I've Used for what feels like forever. It's basically like Hydrogen Peroxide but made for acne. I really only use this when I have a pimple that is under my skin and feels like a bruise. I take a cotton ball and put some solution on it then hold it to the pimple until I start to feel it burn a little. This is the solution drying out all of the oily under the skin and pinpointing the infection. Sometimes I'll even just take a separate cotton ball and run the Solution over the oily parts of my skin at night if I've had a "Bad Skin Day.

CAS Clinical Clearing Gel $18.50

I love this product so much. This gel works similarly to the Clarifying Lotion but it's more of just a general acne treatment. I use it every day and night on the oily sections of my skin that are prone to get pimples. I notice the difference it made on existing pimples within 24 hours (after two uses) and it works really well with the Clarifying Lotion when attacking painful pimples under the skin.

Clinique All About Eyes $34

By this point, I think you've gotten the gist, I really love Clinique. This night eye cream is really good for attacking dark circles and puffiness under and around the eyes. Just massage onto your eyelids and under-eye area before you put on moisturizer. I started using it during allergy season a few years ago because my eyelids were ALWAYS super itchy even when I would take my Allergy medicine. It really helped calm down the dryness and it helped with my dark circles that I didn't even know I had. I don't even feel the need to wear concealer during the day.

Clinique Moisture Surge GEL $22

I have dramatic dry skin problems so this product is a no-brainer. It also comes in a lotion, and I've tried it but it made my skin oilier than normal. The gel is super lightweight and really keeps my skin soft all day.

Starface Hydro-Star Patches $16

I just started using these about 4 months ago and they WORK. I genuinely don't know the science behind them but I put them on my pimples at night and wake up the next morning with the ance mostly cleared. And they're so fun! The stars come in an array of designs: Original yellow, Irridesent, Rainbow, and even Glow in the Dark. The Rainbow are my favorite. I recommend buying the started pack first which comes with this adorable Compact Holder named Big Yellow. I just love everything about this product and company.
