This powerful antioxidant is very underrated in terms of its ability to fight against acne.Common known for its skin brightening abilities, when using a powerful vitamin c serum or a gentle serum on acne, it will exfoliate the skin to unclog pores, stimulate collagen to repair damage while brightening and fading acne scars.Q. I have sensitive skin! How can I use Vitamin C in my routine?A. If it your first time using a vitamin c product or a vitamin c serum, we recommend you mixing it with your moisturizer. Try adding one or two drops of the serum with your everyday moisturizer and use it as you normally would use your cream. This way, you will be able to see how your skin reacts to the ingredient yet without too much stimulation or irritation. But always remember to be aware of what to not mix with Vitamin C.
2. Sodium Hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid)
When we think about acne fighters, we don’t always think about adding moisture to the skin but instead think to exfoliate. Although correct, adding proper moisture help fight acne bacteria from entering the skin in the first place! Using a hydrating toner or liquid not only makes the skin feel healthier and plump, but it also keeps the skin's barrier strong, stopping acne bacteria in its tracks.Q. What will be the best way to moisturize deeply without using too much product?A. Layering the toner will be the best way not only to prep your skin but also to hydrate the layers of your skin. If your skin has become sensitive and is not in the mood for 5 to 10 products, try to replacing the serum with an added layer of hydrating yet light toner.3. Green Tea

If you have oily skin struggling with excessive sebum production on the skin, this ingredient must be a familiar one for you. Clay is well known to draw out impurities and absorb excess oils on the surface of the skin. Also, it exfoliates by removing dead cells off from the face and we all know that when dead skin cells are built up on our skin, it clogs pores and hello acne.

Many think of clay masks when it comes to clay, but for those of you with sensitive skin, clay mask might be a little too aggressive for you to reach out for. BUT!
