Best Skincare Products for Sensitive Acne-Prone Skin

I have had acne-prone skin since my teenage years, dealt with a lot of breakouts, and, at the same time, had extremely dry skin. I have suffered from eczema, and my skin has always been very sensitive. These are a list of products I have found that have clean ingredients, suit my dry skin, and avoid more breakouts. 

Cleansers

1. Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser: This is my go-to favorite cleanser; it is super gentle, eczema-safe, and has clean ingredients.

2. Cetaphil Extra Gentle Daily Scrub: It is a perfect exfoliating cleanser, it is not too harsh. I do not use it as an everyday cleanser. 

3. La Roche-Posay Medicated Gentle Cleanser: Great for acne but can be harsh if you have sensitive skin; however, it is great for days when you are breaking out.

Makeup Removers

1. Garnier Skinactive Water Rose Micellar Cleansing Water: My favorite makeup remover; it has great value and clean ingredients. 

2. Up&up Oil-free Eye Makeup Remover: Super gentle on the eyes, gets off all your eye makeup.

Toners

1.  Tower 28 Facial Spray: Favorite toner, super clean ingredients and keeps the skin refreshed. 

2. Clinque Clarifying Lotion: Great for discoloration or scaring. 

Vitamin C Serums

1. Vanicream Vitamin C Serum: Great ingredients, made for sensitive skin.

2. Sephora Vitamin C+E Super Glow Serum: Would 100% recommend this, clean ingredients and you can see a difference. 

Retinol Serum

1. Glossier Universal Pro-retinol Serum: Great ingredients, works really well and keeps the skin smooth.

2. CeraVe Resurfacing Retionol Serum: Kept my skin smooth, cleared whiteheads, but not the best ingredients.

Moisturizers

1. La Roche- Posay Triple Repair Moisturizing Cream: Love this brand, keeps skin extremely hydrated and very clean ingredients.

2. Vanicream Facial Moisturizer with SPF: I use this in the morning and as my sunscreen, clean ingredients and keeps skin moisturized.
