Apply this before moisturizer to make sure all that goodness gets locked in.

You are about to shed so much dead skin.
22. Vanicream Facial Moisturizer believes less is more, aka this no-frills product is free of dyes, fragrance, parabens, and other "how do I pronounce this..." ingredients that give sensitive skin the ick. Pray tell, what does it use instead? Ceramides, hyaluronic acid, squalane, and glycerin.
23. Mighty Patch Rescue Balm requires but a dab for post-pimple problems (it reduces flaking, redness, uneven texture, and scarring). But the real winner here? It won't sting or cause irritation, which is truly what separates this from other spot treatments on the market.
24. Bioderma Hydrabio Tonic Lotion takes your nighttime routine from drab to fab with just one extra step and a mere seven seconds of your time — just soak this on a cotton pad and swipe it on post-cleanse.

28. Korres Greek Yoghurt Probiotic Superdose Face Mask tackles redness with a vengeance.

30. The Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter turns removing makeup into a luxurious bedtime ritual thanks to a rich, creamy chamomile formula.

Your face is about to feel so. darn. smooth.
36. Vanicream Gentle Body Wash is a gentle wash raved about by those with sensitive complexions — because the heavily perfumed suds you've been using are irritating and drying, ergo, the time has come to *finally* swap in this dye-, fragrance-, and sulfate-free bottle (it's super moisturizing, to boot).
37. Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel is considered a holy grail of drugstore finds thanks to how rapidly it delivers long-lasting hydration. If you're looking for a ~tall glass of water~ to quench your face thirst, look no further than this fast-absorbing and oil-free formula.
