20 Best Skincare For Sensitive Acne Prone Skin (2022 Updated)

This stuff is great! I’ve been using it for years as recommended by my Dermatologist. Very gentle and effective to not lead to additional breakouts on my sensitive skin. I feel like so many of the bad reviews are people not understanding how products work or how this product works.

This product will not work for you if you are mostly dry. And will backfire on you, causing other skin issues and leading you to think it’s not working, when really you are using the wrong product for your skin type.

This product is pretty gentle. So for those saying they didn’t feel “clean” afterwards, it’s because you’re most likely use to bad products stripping the natural good oils from your face. Your skin should never feel tight after using a facial product; tight skin does not equal clean.

Also please consult a dermatologist before choosing products that are right for you.

As of the last few months I’ve been having more breakouts than normal. Usually, I’ll get maybe one or two pimples but lately it’s been 4-5. It’s mostly been on my chin and my t-zone area and it worse around my period.

I decided to give this a go because I have used it before a long time ago and as far as I can remember, my skin was quite clear then. after a couple weeks of using this, I can honestly say it’s been doing it’s job.

Again, I usually break out right before my period but this time, my acne was significantly less than what it was before. I only had one major blemish but it cleared up pretty quickly. The cleanser is a bit drying (I knew that would be the case) so I use my Mario badescu toner and some moisturizer and my face is glowing.

Please give this a try and just remember, if you have drier skin, invest in a good moisturizer.

I used this for awhile and then started getting clogged pores everywhere on my face. They aren’t pimples but bumps all over my face that are the same color as my skin. I am still trying to get rid of the mess it made to my skin.

It doesn’t foam whenever you are washing your face so it just made my face feel slimy; probably not the best description, but it just never felt clean. Then the pimples started and it was everywhere.

I eliminated all products and this is the one that was doing it. I would not use this is you have combo, oily, or acne prone skin. Definitely just get medical grade skincare and safe yourself the trouble or having to fix your skin.

At my age (55), I still get the occasional breakout, and I do need to treat spots. I tried this product as something I could put on areas that were very sensitive and I needed to “treat” them without being too harsh.

I have only been using this a couple weeks so far, but I’ve noticed that when applying it just to those particular areas at night, I see in the morning that the areas are less red and appear to have healed slightly, and the product does not “overdry” or leave the skin flaky.

It is useful, and I feel it has a gentle healing type quality to it. Its not an “overnight fix” to get rid of pimples or spots, but I think that if you treat those spots each night after cleansing for several days, you genuinely do notice a positive difference and it boosts the healing process for sure.

Its great value at the price, and I would purchase again (although you need so little, and it is a really good, small dispenser, so I’m sure it will last ages!!) Its a nice, handy size to take away too if you needed.

My 18 yo son has been fighting with acne since he was in 9th grade. its left scars– which saddens me because hes very handsome. I was browsing at Ulta and I went to get Mario Badesco’s Silver Powder for myself.

so I thought I would look for something for him. He usedT. Taio Esponjabon soap and Mario Badesco Anti Acne Serum. The 2 helped really reduce his breakouts. I wad amazed!! We’ve tried a lot in the past, rx products, Benzoyl Peroxide products, Salicylic Acid products– nothing worked much except these 2.

He still uses both, but my only gripe is that he goes through the Anti Acne Serum WAY too quickly. Maybe he had more “territory” to cover– i have no idea. But this will be an every 3-4 wk purchase for us.

Either way– I just want the acne under control so we can start to work on the scarring. All in all, this product worked well for our family– as does most Mario Badesco products. Give it a try. If it doesn’t work, you can always return it to Ulta with a receipt or with your rewards info.

My skin drastically changed within the last 6 months due to menopause. Although I always struggled with acne, my skin went from oily to extremely dry and the type of acne was completely different. Everything I tried either caused flaky dry patches or caused additional breakouts.

I bought the entire MB acne regimen, but in the end all I needed was the serum. Dryness and acne disappeared. Even my pores were significantly reduced. Total game changer.

Listen, I have struggled with acne since I was 12 years old. I have tried so many products on my face throughout the years. This is a lightweight moisturizer that never makes my combination/oily skin feel greasy.

Nor does it make it feel tight or dry. My skin is ultra sensitive to products and I never have any stinging or tingling. I have noticed fewer breakouts and when I do inevitably have a pimple, I stick a peach slices acne patch on and typically it’s gone within 2 to 3 days.

I have gotten multiple comments on my skin from different people since I started using this moisturizer; including that my skin looks hydrated and glowy and beautiful. Which is some thing that was never said about my skin.

The tiniest bit of product goes a long way too and I straight up just use this durning the day every day instead of CeraVe’s moisturizing lotion. and wishing a couple of weeks my skin has looked wonderful.

I’m not saying that this is going to be a cure for your acne, everyone is different. but it certainly helped mine and I would recommend it to my closest friends.

I bought this moisturizer on Amazon after previously using a $23 one that I finally used up. I wasn’t really expecting much as I think it only had 24 reviews but the majority were positive and for $10.

99 I decided to try it out. Firstly, it’s lightweight but hydrates my skin and this is important for me because heavy moisturizers just irritate my skin that is already acne prone and can lead to me breaking out.

Secondly, it has quality ingredients that are understandable and what I’ve been specifically looking for in a moisturizer, my last moisturizer had salicylic acid but didn’t offer many other beneficial ingredients that weren’t too harsh for the skin like this one.

I have been using this with the toner now and my dark spots are fading from a recent whitehead breakout I had which turned into a huge pimple and left a really dark mark behind, I I feel like the two combined are really benefiting my skin.

Lastly, this moisturizer is just everything my skin needs, it isn’t going to be for everyone and that’s a given with any product so remain open minded, but if you have normal skin (slightly oily around my t-zone and normal everywhere else) this could work for you and hopefully it does!.

Okay! so this is not a terrible product. but it is terrible for what it is advertised for. This is not moisturizing, but it’s really nice used after the salicylic acid toner. my steps go wash > toner > this “moisturizer”>heavy nighttime moisturizer.

I wake up with a legitimate difference in my skin so I know it’s working, just not in the way intended. I also only use it at night with a heavy moisturizer on top of it. more tips: this stuff doesn’t smell good.

Not the worst thing ever but not good. only use a SMALL AMOUNT. this stuff is like water on the skin. you need such a small amount or you’ll be trying to rub it into your skin all night. I have intense combination skin, extremely pity and extremely dry.

on its own this makes the dry hurt and itchy. I hope this review helps someone!.

i have dry, sensitive, cystic acne skin. my acne is hormonal as well so the past 1-2 years i’ve felt forced to accept the fact that no product will really be able to minimize the amount of acne i get due to the fact that it’s an under the surface type of problem.

i’ve been to dermatologists, i’ve tried retinoids, antibiotics, prescription topicals. a lot of which just ended up making my skin worse; either super irritated, red and dry, more acne, etc. so when i tell y’all that this is the best thing i have ever used and my skin is clearing up for the first time that i can remember.

even if i do get a new blemish/bump it goes away so quick. areas of cluster pimples i had for a month or two went away or were almost gone within a week of using this. NOW- i see a lot of ppl saying don’t use for sensitive skin.

i definitely have very reactive/sensitive skin and this is not bad on your skin. ultimately it 100% depends from person to person, just don’t not try it because you see reviews abt ppl saying so. i would recommend reading the ingredient list and feeling out for yourself if you know or think your skin might agree w those ingredients.

the one thing i will say is that every time i use it *it DOES make your skin tingle*. i think this sensation is possibly what /some/ people might interpret as burning. it even makes my skin slightly red upon application but i know both of these reactions are not bad for my skin bc both aspects go away within an hour or so of being on your skin, AND by the morning my skin tone is more even n doesn’t feel too dry or anything.

the first couple times i used i found my skin was a tiny bit flakey in a couple areas but was not accompanied by any redness or irritation (and it hasn’t done that anymore). my last thing is i’ve found it helpful to put it UNDER/before your moisturizer (i’ve read this can somewhat minimize the “harshness” of a product or ingredient if you have sensitive skin bc you’re diluting it a little w moisturizer layered on top).

i also use this all over my face for best results. only things i use for night time routine are this and ponds moisturizer! but bottom line what im trying to get across is don’t always listen to reviews since i have the same skincare traits as some other ppl that don’t like this product, but it has worked better than anything else i’ve tried.

find what types of ingredients your skin does like so you can really decide for yourself if something will work for you! :).

I used to struggle with cystic acne in college but it eventually went away. I’m now in my early 30s and they’re back! Last year they were so bad that I went to get steroid injections and antibiotics so that they would go down and not scar before my wedding.

I did a bunch of research and this product continued to make all the lists so I thought I’d give it a shot. I was so pleasantly surprised by the results. The size went down significantly in one day. I think I got too eager because of the results I was seeing that I applied too much of it around my face.

After 3 days, the cystic pimples were basically gone. However, my face is now very dry and scaly where I was applying the cream. Almost like I got a laser facial treatment or chemical peel. I will only use for spot treatment moving forward.

Like other reviewers have said, be sure to use sunscreen and moisturizer with this product. A little goes a long way and no matter how bad it is, start with once a day for a week to see how your skin reacts.

I’m not one to usually write reviews but this made my skin look absolutely horrible. I bought this after hearing the good reviews and how it gets rid of forehead and chin acne. I used it before I went to bed and I put it on those spots.

I noticed a slight burning but sometimes that’s to be expected with acne products. I slept overnight with it on my face with Aquaphor healing ointment overtop of it. When I woke the that morning I noticed my face was burning and itchy.

I walked to my mirror and I was absolute horrified. My skin was as red as a tomato and so swollen. My eyes were extremely puffy and sore. It itched and burned for that entire day and the next. I couldn’t even leave the house because it was so bad.

So PLEASE be wary of this product because it can do some horrible damage.

I started using the Level 2 acne treatment a few months ago and it seemed to be helping my hormonal acne. After using it for a while I noticed that my acne may have been getting worse again. I got a couple new Tula products and either one or both reacted poorly with my skin and caused me to break out all over my chin.

I returned the two items and got this breakout star moisturizer to go along with the level 2 acne treatment kit. After a couple weeks, it seems like my acne is not getting any better and maybe even worse.

Im at the point now where I think I need to try a new skin care brand. I’m disappointed because I really did like the Tula products when I first got them a few months ago, but they just aren’t working with my skin anymore.

I love tula products! I really enjoyed the 24/7 moisture but with my acne prone/sensitive/ red skin I need something more that helped those specific needs! I still love that moisturizer which really helped my skin but now that I am using the super soothe in the morning and the breakout star acne moisturizer at night.

my skin is doing so much better! Really glad I changed up the moisturizers. This change really helped my other tula products and my skin has been the best it has been without oral antibiotics or prescription acne creams! I was nervous about trying the breakout star due to some eh reviews.

But everyone’s skin is different and what works for some might not work for others. That was my concern that I would be that person it did not work for. BUT it is working amazingly for my skin! I love the acne foam cleanser and clear it up gel.

I was using these first then finally added the breakout star moisturizer! I should of just got the level 3 acne kit but was so nervous it wouldn’t work! Now I just get the level three kits because all three products really help my acne prone/ cystic acne! I have maybe two cysts right now instead of 8 plus! It has only been a few months, so I know the longer I use the kit ( and other tula products ).

the better my skin will get Thank you Tula!!.

I have been using Tula for almost a year and have had nothing but amazing results. I am 26 and have had constant break outs since I was 12 years old. I have tried every brand and natural remedy known to man.

I have been using the level 2 acne kit for the past year. However, it does not come with a moisturizer. I started using an Aveeno one and it worked great up until Corona started and I had to start wearing a mask for 8-12 hours per shift at work.

I was plagued with the dreaded “maskne” like many others have. I told myself to make the splurge once I finished the other bottle since the price is what was teetering me. I decided to try it when a coupon for prestige brands was floating around.

At the time of first use, I had a few very deep rooted, hormonal zits on my chin. Those super fun ones that hurt and look like mountains. After a day those zits were GONE thanks to the added acne benefits of this moisturizer.

I am forever grateful for finally trying it. I have not had a pimple last more than a day with this added to my skincare routine. I hope this lasts like my other Tula products. I typically get three months per item which makes it seem inexpensive when breaking down the costs.

The packaging of this is perfect. I complained about every other moisturizer ive used due to not being able to get the bottom of the bottle out. This being upside down? Genius. Thanks again Tula for giving me my pre adolescent skin back!! #NotSponsored.

I am so pleasantly surprised by this product! The serum is an OTC Salicylic Acid, Lactic Acid Post-Biotic treatment that is meant to target acne as well as reduce post acne marks. I used the product for well over a month I love the results! I am not very acne prone however I do have hormonal breakouts every so often this worked wonders! New pimples started to subside the very next day, along with their redness never grew to a full pimple.

I also noticed that my overall complexion became more even less blotchy (probably due to the niacinamide 🙂 My skin loves this serum I would absolutely recommend to anyone struggling with acne or post acne spots.

I have sensitive skin didn’t find this formula irritating whatsoever. It can be a bit drying (salicylic acid) so make sure you are moisturizing as well as putting on your daily sunscreen, as it can also make your skin a bit more sensitive to the sun.

My daily routine includes both so I had no issues. I would absolutely recommend this will continue to use this as a part of my daily skincare regimen.

I ALWAYS breakout during that time of the month and get scaring and have been going crazy looking for a good remedy. I have a different skin care routine for mornings and nights and previously only used 3 nights a week, salicylic face wash and toner followed by hylauronic and niancinamide+zinc serum to hydrate and control my pores.

This controlled my acne except for that one week during my time of the month. I changed my 3 night routine to salicylic face wash, snail toner (to strengthen skin barrier), followed by this AMAZING serum and topped off with my vitamin C night cream.

My acne is completely controlled now. I don’t even break out during that time of the month anymore. This product is AMAZING. I don’t recommend you use it daily though so you don’t damage your skin or train it to the serum.

I only use it Mon, Wed, Fri nights.

Y’all! I never write reviews. I mean, I spend thousands of dollars annually on cosmetics and I don’t write any reviews. But this is too good to not let every know! I have struggled with adult acne since my first pregnancy 3 yrs ago.

I love IT cosmetics cc cream and other products so I thought I’d give this a try out of desperation. I had about 25 little white heads/ pustules/papules all over my cheeks and forehead when I first tried this.

By the next morning about 90 percent were completely gone and the day after that I can say every single one was gone. It’s been a few weeks and my skin is totally clear. I apply morning and night. I can finally wear my lighter serum foundations now and not need coverage! I will buy stock in this liquid gold!.

This acne system is very simple. It has 3 steps a cleanser, toner and lotion. All the products work well. It doesn’t burn or irritate my skin. I can’t say if it’s good for sensitive skin because I’ve been using acne products with high percentages of active ingredients like benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid for over 15 years.

My skin has gotten used to strong products. I have acne prone skin and use the products to prevent breakouts. I use it everyday. For someone who has never used a benzoyl peroxide treatment before, I would recommend starting slow using it once a week and then gradually increasing use.

Always patch test the product on your forearm before attempting to use it on your face. The system is a decent price compared to other brands. I paid $20 for it on Amazon. But it’s also sold at Walmart, CVS and Target.

I recommend giving it a try.

Acnefree has been my holy grail acne kit for years since I was a teenager. Seriously, I used to have acne everywhere and once I tried this, my acne was practically gone. I still get compliments on my skin from this treatment! The only issue I have left is some large pores (genetic of course).

I haven’t needed to clear acne in a long time, but due to stress and a new environment I started to break out; so I bought this inexpensive acne regimen. I remember most regimens being harsh on my skin but this one did not cause my skin to react, which was a plus.

I don’t need an acne regimen anymore but I’d totally recommend this one for anyone who does. Try this one out before buying into something more expensive!.

Yikes. I adore Pacifica when it has come to perfumes and skin care in the past. However, after just a week of using this I noticed my skin having the most extreme breakout I’ve seen in a long time. Very concentrated, tiny pimples/whiteheads all over my face.

This saddens me a great deal because it smells lovely and was a relaxing and therapeutic part of my nightly routine with this new product this past week. I’ve seen some other reviews talking about what’s *in* this product and how stripping it is for your skin, I should have done my research first it seems.

I also see some reviews from those who have PSCOS/and/or cystic acne that claim this product benefited them greatly. Maybe this works for other skin types that need something strong like that! However, my approach using it every night and against my sensitive skin.

Yeah, no. Bad move. I still love other products from this brand, however this one just did not agree with my face lol.

This has been my favorite face wash for a few years now and I doubt I’ll ever stray. I have incredibly finicky skin that turned combo/dry after I hit 24, and I get cystic hormonal acne on my chin & neck area that’s painful & never goes away, until this.

I was previously using La Roche Posay and it worked but not fully. This has similar ingredients, half the price, and is cruelty free to boot. Also, this manages to work better for me. My skin is 100% clear most days as long as I stick to my routine.

I use this 3-4 mornings and every night, 3 pumps or so is the perfect amount. It gets rid of any acne within a week or less, and my skin has never been overly dry or stripped. Will continue to buy for a long time.

I love how this is cruelty free and amazing for sensitive skin. I recently became obsessed with the ” Yuka” app. I was breaking out so bad prior to using this brand with CeraVe. I thought that was a good brand but they had horrible ingredients bad for your health! I switched this this to help my , which I thought was hormonal acne, turns out it was the product I was using.

I have been using this cleanser and the toner for a week now and my skin and cleared up! and I had the big pimples. I am obsessed with this cleanser and now this brand. Definitely worth every penny ! just buy it,you won’t regret it!.

I waited until after 3 cans of this “tea tree balm” before writing a review. Warning this stuff is ADDICTIVE. I mean, I started off applying it to rough ashy area’s of my skin not thinking much of it.

Also had a couple of ringworms from work. This stuff actually scared me!!!! It works so fast,yet it’s so gentle,so aggressive. Healed my dark chocolate skin tone within a couple of days. Lip balm,lotion substitute,razor bump remedy what can’t this stuff do? I don’t see to many men glorifying skin care products,its usually their wives or another female in their lives.

I had to voice my opinion after the results. NO MISLEADING HERE. IF YOUR NOT ADDING A COUPLE OF CANS TO YOUR CART NOW YOU DON’T WANT INSTANT RESULTS!.

I bought this product from Amazon. It had good reviews and I was looking for something that would calm my skin while providing moisture and aid my acne. You only need a little product at a time so it lasts a long time.

It had a strong sent that I didn’t care for. The texture felt too much like a film for me as well. So it actually did the opposite of what I wanted. I found it very drying yet occlusive and I ended up getting more pimples while using it.

It did however work okay as a spot treatment on my body when I broke out from an allergic reaction to something else.

I’ve had moderate acne for about two years now. I eat healthy, have good hygiene, and have normal hormones, but yet it persisted. I’ve tried a number of different products with no success. This cream is the only thing that has made a CONSISTENT difference.

Aside from during my period, I no longer have acne!! The cream appears to be an emollient, so it is neither watery nor oily. It is full of both evidence based and botanical compounds. Pretty much everything people use for acne is in this single formula.

Have been using this for a month and have buyers remorse. Over priced and under performs. I switched to this from another product thinking it would perform better and I was wrong. Doesn’t assist with puffiness or sooth in anyway.

The product is kind of thick, so it’s a little greasy and takes awhile to absorb. Only plus is that it doesn’t burn my eyes. Do feel it’s super moisturizing either. Will not repurchase. Also feel the packaging is somewhat the problem.

I feel like the product has already gone bad after being exposed to air everyday with taking the lid on and off. Don’t like the texture either, not very creamy or smooth. Kind of gloppy.

This product was recommended by the person who does my facials but it was kinda pricey at the salon. It’s a nice product to use before your moisturizer (and your vitamin c if you use it). It feels good on my face.

My skin feels smooth and supple. I would let it soak into your skin before applying your moisturizer. I love the way my face feels- very smooth and supple. I was pleasantly surprised to see that Walmart had this product.

Thanks Walmart for continuing to bring great products at affordable prices.

I bought this because of concern with those lines, often called techno neck. It smells great – pleasant orange scent. It is thick cream, but sinks into the skin fast and doesn’t feel tacky. Maybe I don’t apply consistently enough and that’s why I’m not seeing a change, or maybe I need to apply every day AND night to neck and chest.

Who knows, but I’ve not seen changes noticeable yet. Quick fix would be Botox and threads, but I don’t want to do that. I’ll continue the application in hopes there will be small changes.

I purchased this fairly recently, looking for a moisturizer that didn’t smell like my current one, which was supposedly fragrance free but smelled unpleasant. I was a little nervous about purchasing due to my past experience with gel moisturizers.

Fast forward to after I cleansed my face and used my gel toner. I opened the lightweight container to see what appeared to be a thick substance and gently placed three fingers on the gel. After removing my fingers I was surprised to feel a cool and light product.

I rubbed my hands together and started massaging my face. I noticed the aromatic scent. The smell was light and brought a smile to my face. As I continued massaging my face I realized that the amount I placed on my face was too much.

I was surprised to know how far the product could go. After allowing my face to soak up the goodness, my skin felt smooth and soft. My face felt hydrated and happy. This made me happy. I have combination skin which is extremely acne prone.

So far everything is going well. Everyone has different skin and products are not a “one size fits all”, but I do recommend giving this product a try.

There are a lot of things I like about this gel and I really wanted to love it. I’m a huge fan of gel moisturizers as I find them light enough for my skin and they don’t make me feel greasy. This gel feels amazing when you put it on – cooling and refreshing.

I LOVE the scent but it is pretty strong, something to keep in mind if you’re scent-averse. It goes on smooth and absorbs fairly quickly. Unfortunately, it is a little thicker than other gel moisturizers I’ve tried (more like a gel cream) and so it didn’t blend into my skin as well as I would have hoped.

I was hoping it would be a good dupe for my tried-and-true Neutrogena Hydroboost gel moisturizer (it’s about $10 cheaper and you get way more moisturizer in each container) but it’s thicker and heavier so I’ll stick with Neutrogena as my daily driver.

That being said, I’m still enjoying this Clean & Clear gel and will continue to use it when I need an extra refresher or an overnight moisturizer.

I used Clean and Clear aloe vera calming gel moisturizer, for 2 weeks straight, and not only did I absolutely love the texture, but it moisturized my skin and kept it moisturized, all through the day; without leaving any kind of greasy residue on my skin.

I was not familiar with gel cream texture, but I must say, a little goes a very long way, and it saturates into the skin so quickly. The scent was very light and pleasant. It does not linger. It was also very soothing and Cooling as soon as I put it on my skin.

I love using this not only every night and during the day; but after exfoliating & just anytime my skin felt irritated, or needed an extra boost of hydration. I will definitely be adding this to my everyday skin care regimen.

I am very impressed, and I was definitely recommend to anyone with dry, oily, combo or sensitive skin. Great product that works at a very affordable price.

There are four different products in this box and it’s valued at 50 dollars claiming to be a 30 day supply. These are very much travel sizes that would not last 30 days and it seems that only some of the products are available for full size purchase.

I don’t think this is at all worth 50 dollars but I’ll break down each product by itself which may be decent products if individually they are sold at an accessible price point. BP Lotion – By far the most impressive product in the box.

It’s a 2. 5% Benzyl Peroxide lotion which is actually the same level I get from my dermatologist so I was impressed by that! Have been using it to combat chest acne and it’s been gently helping it along.

A better option than a lot of BP face washes like PanOxyl that have become trendy lately because with this it can actually be on the skin long enough to take effect. This is the only product in the box I would consider purchasing full size.

Retinol Serum – It doesn’t tell what percentage this is so I’m not sure how effective it would be. Def had a strong smell that makes it seem more clinical grade but there was nothing to convince me that this is a product that would beat our other market competitors.

Vitamin C Moisturizer – Really like the texture of this, very whipped and creamy. Light but still very moisturizing. I don’t know how you would really get the effects of Vitamin C from this when it’s so distilled and when it’s suggested to be used after the Retinol.

Salicylic Acid Wash – I’m not a huge fan of salicylic acid wash in a cleanser as it can cause over inflammation when being combined with other acne products afterwards so I am slightly cautious with this.

I have been using this on my body and it soaps up nicely and doesn’t leave the skin feeling stripped but using this then the BP lotion right after as suggested feels like it would be too harsh for my face.

This acne system worked pretty well for me. I have seasonal acne so I don’t have that much acne right now since it’s not yet summer but I do have a few minor blemishes here and there. I made sure to note how my skin was before and after use and I noticed it did help clear up the few blemishes I had.

I really like how this acne system includes both salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide which are 2 powerhouse ingredients to fight acne. There’s also a retinal serum which adds that extra punch. Now I’ll review each individual product: the cleanser worked well; the directions say to use it after you already removed your makeup so I only tested its cleansing abilities on makeup-free skin and it cleansed it well without being too drying.

Just a good, very basic cleanser. The BP lotion felt just like a normal lightweight facial lotion; it absorbed easily and didn’t leave a greasy feeling nor did it cause any adverse reactions. The retinol serum had a very nice texture/consistency and absorbed easily.

It was mild enough to be used every night without causing flaky skin. The moisturizer I wasn’t a huge fan of because it was too basic for me. I don’t have overly oily skin so this wasn’t moisturizing enough for me but would prob be great for oily skin types.

Overall I liked this acne system and how well rounded it is with its different ingredients, but I also found it boring. The whole line has a very simple, no-frills vibe which makes it good for those with more sensitive skin esp since everything is fragrance free.

This vibe also extends to their packaging which I found to be very basic and boring and does not excite me at all. So yes I did like this system but I found both the packaging and formulas very plain and boring and wouldn’t be something I gravitate towards or something that would catch my attention.

As a person who’s suffered from acne prone skin my entire life, I have spent a lot of time trying to perfect a skincare routine that keeps my breakouts at bay, so when I saw that I was going to be receiving this four step kit to review from influenster, I was over the moon! The idea that a dermatologist such as Dr Sandra Lee had hand picked a routine perfect to combat breakouts seemed like it would save the average consumer SO much time and money.

as well as cut out the trial and error process! Unfortunately, this set was not all I had hoped it would be for my skin. The Salicylic Acid Cleanser was a lot thinner than I expected texture wise, but it foamed up really nicely! A little goes a long way.

What caught me by surprised is how much this cleanser smells like of eucalyptus! I use this essential oil in my diffusers and use a eucalyptus body wash, so I am VERY familiar with the smell, but as much as I love it, I do not want it in my skincare.

It even gave a cooling sensation on my skin, so I can only imagine how much is really in there! It was a little drying on my combination skin, so I am not too sure this would be the best choice for dryer skin… Up next is the BP Lotion.

Benzoyl Peroxide isn’t an acne fighting ingredient that my skin is particularly fond of, and this unfortunately was no different for my skin. It went on my skin like a light lotion and dried down with no sticky residue.

This ingredient also has bleaching qualities on clothing, so I was paranoid to get this on my black sheets or my black clothing throughout the day. Not my favorite but it wasn’t awful. I wish this step would have been salicylic acid too! Third up is the Retinol Serum! My tried and true retinol treatment is Differin, so I was worried about switching it up! This goes on much thinner and lighter on the skin, and has a finish that’s almost like a dry oil? It seemed to leave my hands shiny and slippery after I was finished applying it.

It did keep my skin clear as I did not break out after switching to it, but I still prefer the way Differin feels on my skin. Last up is the Facial Moisturizer. This has vitamin C in it to brighten the skin.

Although I did not necessarily see any brightening effect to my skin in the time I’ve been using it, I cannot predict how it might perform in the long run! This was a very nice thin but hydrating formula! Lightweight on the skin.

I might purchase this in the full size once I finish it! Although I do not see myself abandoning my go to skincare routine for this one, I did find a new moisturizer! This is wonderful for anyone who’s having breakouts and doesn’t know much about skincare, but I feel like those of us who know what products work for our skin would not find much use from this routine.

This is like proactive for the 2022 skincare beginner!.

Wow what a difference a week can make this vanecl 3 step fast acne treatment with clear pore acne face wash is amazing and working great on my teens face. I was a bit skeptical, again save yourself a ton of money and get this for your teen with acne.

It is working, it is also nourishing and repairs at the same time. This is a 3 step fast acne treatment serum, for face and pore minimizer – 30 day complete acne skin care kit, Very easy to use this acne fighting system as it works quickly to combat and control acne breakouts, blemishes, and blackheads without causing dryness, redness or irritation.

We noticed a difference in just a couple of days talking about giving your teen confidence it is a great investment. It is perfectly safe been using it for over a week and no rashes or irritation her skin is actually glowing with its natural herb essence ingredient improving her acne-prone skin.

Very refreshing as well once applied. Like I said you will see the results in a couple of days, this is however a 30-day supply of facial acne-care!.

I was skeptical for a long time trying proactive. I’m in my late 20s and have had acne all my life. I thought I’d eventually grow out of it but it never happened. Because of the mask mandate I began not to only notice more acne but I’d get those large red bumps under the skin that were extremely painful.

I have been using proactive for three weeks and I have not had one single white or black head. I first started to use this twice a day as the package suggested but my skin wasn’t taking to it too well and began to itch all throughout the day.

I lowered using this to once a day (night-time) and my skin has felt fine since. I’m going to continue using this product since this is the first time since the age of 12 that I have not had a single pimple.

Even though I am using this once a day and not twice u am very happy with the results.

This is the only product that has ever cleared up my complexion and eliminated a need for harsh, long term oral medications and trips to the dermatologist office. The products don’t have nearly any odor at all and they don’t leave any sensation of residue or stickiness after use.

I noticed it working within the first week. I stopped having new breakouts. It took about a month for my entire face to clear, which is amazing considering I started with deeply inflamed and painful cysts.

I experienced very little drying of the skin, if at all. I used the products before makeup application and had no issues with it interfering with the makeup consistency or ability to blend. I am very pleased with the results.

I spent the last 4 weeks trying out the Honestly Pure Retinyl Serum and you can see my skin looks more radiant and refined than ever. The formula has a thick oat milk consistency and is unscented. On application, I didn’t have any irritation and it felt soothing.

The formula went on smoothly in a thin even layer but dried down tacky and felt as if there was a film over my skin, almost giving you a tight mask sensation. Once I applied my moisturizer on top, the sticky residue dissipates, and my skin is left feeling hydrated and almost dewy looking.

Overall I would rate this serum a 4/5 – while I wasn’t a huge fan of the tacky residue feeling on my skin during application, I can say I thoroughly enjoyed this serum and will most likely be repurchasing when I can get my hands on it.

The ingredients were simple, clean, and effective and it made my skin feel happy. I noticed a difference in my skin texture so it did what it said it would do and would recommend it to those who are looking to incorporate retinol into their skincare routine, minus the irritation and dryness that comes from pure retinol.

It appears they have changed their packaging and is going through a rebranding stage but this is the Honest Beauty’s Honestly Pure Retinyl Serum. The second image is my after photo of clean skin after 4 weeks of usage and is unedited.

The first time I started using this it was AMAZING. Made my skin tone even and removed all the scarring and dark spots from acne. My skin had never looked better. BUT after my first bottle ran out I stopped using it for a bit.

Recently I started using it again but it doesn’t have the same effect on my skin anymore. It’s not damaging my skin but it’s also not improving it like it had the first time. I had high hopes from how amazing it was the first time but am looking for a different retinol now.

Yessss!! I 100% love this kit! My favorite of the 3 is the cleanser! I love it the most. I feel like I get a good squeaky clean cleanse, I love how it suds up unlike most cleansers, it targets my adult acne, it leaves my skin feeling refreshed and clean.

I have extremely sensitive skin and the honest beauty brand has never irritated it all. I love this brand! Definitely one of my top favorites! 💕 I did find that the cream moisturizer in this kit was too much for my skin type, I use the honest beauty everyday brightener moisturizer instead! Love that one.

It’s light weight and my skin loves it day and night!.

I really love how clean and soft my face feels after I do this. I did not buy this with the intention of necessarily clearing any acne, as I use a 10% Benzoyl Peroxide face wash at night that keeps my skin relatively clear.

I bought this for the purpose of lightening up some dark spots that I have accrued over the years, and for shrinking some of the pores that I have to the left and right of my nose area, and also for a few blackheads on my nose as well.

I was also hoping it would give me a bit better of a healthier glow as well as a year straight of 10% benzoyl peroxide face wash had my face looking clear, but a bit on the dull side. Keeping my purpose of buying this face wash in mind, it has exceeded all expectations, it immediately reduced the size of my pores to almost non-existent and cleaned out the blackheads on my nose and gave me a healthier glow that I was yearning for.

This is a must have in my skin care routine. For anyone struggling with the things I described above, I wholeheartedly recommend this, as it’s price efficient and extremely effective at avoiding a pimple before it comes in as well which is a bonus.

When I see a tiny red pimple coming in and use this within an hour or two it’s a miniscule barely noticeable whitehead. -Side note, I have oily and acne prone skin.

I do not know what to say! The bottle reads “ break the breakout cycle” but what this face wash actually does is INITIATE THE BREAKOUT CYCLE! Unbelievable! I have oily acne prone dark skin. I have managed to maintain a healthy skin and minimal breakouts by including Tretinoin to my skin care routine.

I have been using Himalaya neem face wash for ages and Nivea jojoba oil vitamin E lotion. I read about salicylic acid and it’s benefits for acne prone skin and hyperpigmentation, and thought of giving this product a go.

Before switching to this product, I stopped using the Tretinoin. At first, my skin was irritated after using this face wash. My face became very very itchy and my skin had some kind of a fine and textured rash that one can see and feel.

I figured that’s normal since it’s my first time applying salicylic acid on my skin. I stopped for a couple of days and then resumed using this product. All was good after that until I started breaking out badly all over my chin and cheeks even though I use this face wash only once a day and I consistently moisturise afterwards.

I have not changed a thing in my routine except for the face wash. It seems to me that this product blocks pores somehow instead of clearing and cleaning them! I was very disappointed! I stopped using it for sure and went back to my original routine.

Neutrogena sorry but never trying any of your products!!!.

Loved this product have oily skin. Really helps with bumps on my face cleaning out them. Would recommend this product for in between type skin. Was fairly new when purchased but I love Neutrogena products and how they work with my skin.

I tried this product during my pregnancy with my son because I was experiencing kind of bad break out with my pregnancy. I tried it one morning and instantly fell in love with how smooth and refreshing it made my skin feel.

I felt like I lost a couple of years of age progression using this product. Hello world with my big belly and all felt really good. So if anyone wants to try Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub and have a really fresh face I would surely recommend it.

Tell everyone and everybody about this product to try for themselves. Go right ahead. I am still using this product now that I’m pregnant with my second child and I’m getting the same results as before when I was pregnant with my first child.

Try and tell people abouts this product so they can experience euphoria that i felt and feel everytime i use it. Just be careful not use to much of it at one time because they have microbeads in them and be careful not to harshly wash your face also with this product.

ve it.

It bums me out that I can’t give this product 5 stars, because the product inside the tube deserves 5 stars from me. The consistency is excellent, my skin is very comfortable and I think the bit of salicylic acid in there helps my skin stay clear, it’s a bit mattifying but not excessively so, and overall the product feels of a higher quality than the price tag would suggest.

However, the packaging is awful! The tube is great until the entire green cap busts off and cannot be put back on. This happened on my first tube and I was hopeful it was just a fluke, but sure enough, about halfway through my second tube the exact same thing happened and it’s maddening! The product doesn’t come out in a nice way and I hate hate that I have a product that simply cannot be closed.

It’s annoying enough that I almost have a hard time giving this 4 stars, which is a travesty for such a nice formula. Cetaphil, please fix this god awful packaging because the stuff inside is ACE!.

I have never been a fan of Cetaphil’s standard line of cleansers, but I’m impressed by this newer addition to their lineup. It’s a nice morning cleanser and hasn’t given me any irritation even when I have to wear a face mask for 8 hours for the rest of the day.

I am knocking off one star for the texture. I would describe it as “stiff” coming out of the tube; it resists spreading at first. Going in with wet hands, lathering it a bit between my palms, and applying to an already-wet face solves that in my experience, but it may be offputting for some.

Also, this is fragrance-free with very low amounts of plant extracts – the smell is raw ingredients, a bit plasticky in nature. Doesn’t bother me and isn’t impacting my score, but that’s been showing up in a lot of reviews and it’s worth mentioning.

Even though this product works well, I have to rate it 3 stars. The cleanser is difficult to dispense because of how thick it is and it is hard to lather up/work up in my hands. You have to make sure you put some water on top of the cleanser and then rub your palms together to get it to foam up before you start washing your face.

I feel like it works very well on my skin, but it’s just tough to work with. Once I’m done washing my face, I still see “chunks” of cleanser in my hands because it didn’t activate enough to clean my face.

I think if the formula improved, I would be willing to give it a better rating. If you personally don’t mind having to work the cleanser in between your palms for a good while, then I recommend it. But I find that to be annoying.

This is the stuff that’s worked best for me and my cystic acne. As long as I keep up the regimen, my face stays really clear. I’m not sure if they discontinued this or not, because I can’t find it anywhere now.

But if you can find it and you have acne problems, really give this a try.

I wouldn’t recommend these products, step one and two didn’t seem to make a difference after application and step one smelled really bad. Step three burned my skin to the point where I had to re-wash my face because it was still burning two hours after.

These products claim to be for sensitive skin, however they didn’t work for me as my skin was red and irritated.

This acne serum along with the AHA cleanser (and my other cocokind products of course) have absolutely transformed my skin. I am prone to getting those deep painful kinds of acne as well as the average surface level ones and while I still get them sometimes, I find that it is only when I travel or when there is a drastic change to my environment that triggers it.

In my regular life though? At this point I only get breakouts around my menstrual cycle but then my skin recovers very quickly afterwards ! I have never had any product (or combination if products) genuinely make a noticeable difference in my skin in terms of my breakouts without making my dryness and irritation more aggressive.

These bottles last quite a long time too so I really feel like in the long run I am getting my value out of the products at a far more affordable price than with anything I used previously. I will remind people though that visible changes in the skin takes time to see, I’ve been using this serum for some months now and while I saw some great improvements within the first month, in the long run I saw so much MORE improvement.

It’s worth riding out the adjustment period and I couldnt speak highly enough about this serum and cocokind as a whole.

i’ve struggled with acne since my preteen years (i’m in my late twenties now). always had those pesky acne flare ups especially close to that time of the month! i’ve tried a lot of different products to help with my acne, but none that really blew me away until THIS came along! i didn’t really have any expectations, but when i consistently used the probiotic acne serum every evening as part of my skin routine, i DEFINITELY saw improvements in my skin! usually i feel like i just have to deal with the acne sitting on my face, but it’s like this amazing product would magically stop the zits in their tracks and make them vanish! what really amazes me is that it’s really gentle on the skin compared to other products, but get the job done so well nonetheless.

while i know healthy skin starts from within & doesn’t just come from the external products you put on your face, this wonderful serum is definitely worth adding to your line up because it actually works! def gonna be buying this over & over again! :).

I have had acne since I was a teenager and then over the last several years into adulthood. I have always struggled to stay consistent with a skincare routine, so when I first tried this serum, I didn’t notice a major difference.

I recently went on a two week vacation where I brought my products and stayed consistent with my full routine, which included this serum and omg!!!!! I can visibly notice the difference in blackheads and clogged pores on my nose and chin.

For the first time ever, I didn’t break out on my period and I currently have one pimple, which is crazy because my acne is usually so bad that I don’t even notice a new blemish. Highly recommend this serum and wish I had it years ago 🙂 It’s been so exciting that I have been so motivated to keep caring for my skin.

It’s so worth it when you can find gentle products that don’t cost you a fortune and actually work. Thank you cocokind!.

Okay, i have to leave a review because 1. this has been a staple product among the rest of my usual high end skin care for YEARS but 2. I feel like it only works on certain types of skin to make a difference.

I used this all through high school and never really had acne so I couldn’t totally see the results of it. my skin is very dry and somewhat sensitive but this year once I started working out I started getting a little acne on my chin here and there and ended up using something from proactive with A LOT of retinol that ABSOLUTELY destroyed my skin barrier.

my skin on my chin was chapped, insanely dry and red and after that acne started popping up everywhere on my chin, but not like regular pimples. they were huge and dry/cyst like. I started using harsh products and oily skin face wash to get rid of it (i’ve never had experience with acne so in my mind acne=oily skin) but little did i know it was because my skin barrier was so destroyed and dried up that THAT was the reason for all my breakouts! I decided to stop with all the harsh products and start from the basics with gentle, moisturizing products again.

my skin was definitely thanking me for it but still had a small amount of acne on my chin. after applying hydrating toner and serum I would apply this product for my acne. my skin has been clearing faster than ever which shows me this product is not too drying and the perfect formula for my skin to help with my acne but also keep the skin moisturized.

my skin barrier is still a work in progress lol but this product has been a lifesaver for me. not too much or too little, but just right for the dry/sensitive skin breakouts!.

Why do I love this stuff? I’ve been using it for about 10 years because: It keeps my face moisturized during the long, dry, Midwestern winters. It feels light, cool, and refreshing on my skin, not heavy or oily.

A little goes a long way. I use only a nickel-sized amount for my whole face. I’m highly sensitive to chemicals/dyes/perfumes. I can use this moisturizer right under my eyes and it doesn’t bother me (I do get a few seconds of slight cold/tingling sensation, but it’s akin to a whiff of Vick’s vapo-rub).

Small package means it takes up very little space in my medicine cabinet or luggage. Love the pump dispenser.

I really like this moisturizer. I use a heavy ceramide moisturizer at night, but that leaves my skin looking greasy if I wear it during the day. This is a really nice, light moisturizer. It can be a bit drying, but I have oily skin and it keeps my face from looking like an oil slick after a long day.

I like that it’s lightly scented and pretty reasonably priced for a facial moisturizer. I wish it was an SPF moisturizer so I could wear it alone during the day, since my current sunscreen is a bit greasy looking.

Overall I’m not sure if the salycilic acid will do anything for acne since it’s such a low concentration, but it does keep my face relatively oil free.

I love and adore this product If you are like me and have some sort of combination acne like, cystic but also fungal but you don’t know what to do or have tried everything? This product is for you!! It took about five days of regular routine of this project as well as their other two (which I will mention) to clear my skin, this is perfect for sensitive skin like mine and combination skin as well.

I start off by using this cleanser, i foam it up a dime size amount in my hands and then I wash my face and under my chin/neck, I rinse off and repeat again just to really cleanse my skin. Then I dry my skin lightly and I go in with their step two toner, I take a cotton pad with a little amount and brush it all over my flared up areas.

After I use their step three benzol peroxide and lightly glaze some of the cream over my entire face(NOT EYES) This is just my nightly routine, in the morning I just wash my face with the cleanser or else it is too drying.

This product also lightened my acne scarring, please try this routine and keep up with it for at least a week and I promise there will be a difference in your skin. I also recommended their non-breakout dry sunscreen perfect for people who break out from oils! I hope you guys will find this helpful!.

I’ve seen overwhelmingly positive reviews of the Effaclar line and my experience was TERRIBLE so I wanted to share in case it helps someone else. I have acne prone, oily skin with hormonal acne here and there.

I had a few pimples around my jaw, so I thought I would give this a try. After a couple of weeks of trying this product (and the toner), my breakouts were 10x worse. I thought it could be purging because of the exfoliants so I continued using it for a month.

By this time my acne was out of control and in places I hadn’t broken out since high school (I’m 30 now). All around my eye brows, forehead, chin, jaws, you name it. Pimples were bloody and small bumps everywhere.

It started to really affect my self-esteem so I decided enough was enough. I stopped roughly a month ago and it got worse before it got better. I started using my normal cleanser again and waited it out.

The breakouts needed to go through a full regeneration cycle to get my skin back to how it was before. I can say I’m almost in the clear now after a month back on my original skin care routine and I warn you to be careful! Most of the negative reviews I’ve seen say that it burns a little but since there were none about really bad breakouts, I needed to share.

Hope this helps!.

The La Roche-Posay Effaclar Medicated Gel Cleanser with Salicylic Acid is ok as it does cleanse my skin but it does not “help clear my acne breakouts or target excess oil” as advertised. I have been using it consistently for 6 months at the time this review was written and I haven’t noticed any changes at all with my skin (it is not getting better nor worse).

For reference, I have combination (oily t-zone and normal everywhere else), acne prone skin. Also, I do not like the packaging. You have to flip the bottle upside down before you flip the top and dispense it or it will dispense way too much product.

You also have to flip the bottle upside down before you close the top or it will leak outside of the cap. I have tried many face washes and with similar and different bottle types and never experienced this.

Due to the nuisance of the bottle and the fact that it hasn’t done anything for my skin but cleanse it, I will not repurchase and would not recommend.
