2. Caytraill Facial Cleansing Brush gives pricier tools a run for their money thanks to its ~sonic vibration technology~ and gentle magnetic bead system. Its vibration (in four modes!) increases the effectiveness of your usual face wash to leave your skin smooth, energized, and overall clearer.
3. Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patches drain 👏 those 👏 zits 👏 so you can avoid picking or any of the other lovely benefits of a usually longer-lasting breakout — did I mention they're available in ~extra large~ patches?! Both are gentler than acne cream, speed up recovery to practically overnight, and do all the ~heavy lifting~ for you.
4. Glow Recipe Avocado Retinol Sleeping Mask adds a powerful ingredient to the already well-loved avocado nighttime mask — you guessed it! Retinol. The skin-loving combo improves uneven skin tones, while simultaneously soothing and nourishing your complexion. Get ready for a whole lot of ~brighter~ mornings.
5. Cosmedica Skincare Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum treats your skin to this widely loved, holy grail ingredient...for cheap! It addresses really every general skincare goal — an even skin tone, brightness, hydration, and a smooth and soft complexion. Think of this as an easy-peasy form of TLC.
6. Tarte Tight & Bright Clay Multi-Mask is not one, but TWO masks to mix and match treatments for different skin concerns. The purple formula (great for T-zones) conquers shine by tightening pores and treating blemishes and blackheads, while the gold formula hones in on your cheeks and under-eyes to hydrate, brighten, and even calm redness and inflammation.

Each pad is saturated in all-powerful glycolic acid to gently exfoliate and fade discoloration, acne scarring, pigmentation, or even active breakouts. Apply these life-savers before bed, sleep, and wake up to MAJOR improvements.
8. TreeActiv Invisible Acne Spot Treatment takes a more *incognito* approach to treating les pimples if you want something you can apply both day and night. This goes on CLEAR during the day so you can wear it under makeup and treat breakouts with tea tree oil and peppermint oil, but come nighttime its message won't be so ~transparent~ to pimples. Its message is basically this: BEGONE.

12. Breylee Acne Treatment Serum employs tea tree oil and plant extracts to nourish broken-out skin back to clarity. It's gentler than salicylic acid (aka traditional acne treatments), but every bit as effective at telling pimples to stay away.
