It's the only thing that has cured my adult acne. I went bougie and did a treatment program with an NYC aesthetician who gave me some, but I know the Ordinary and Paula's Choice make formulas of it as well. Give it a try! (shoutout to Sophie Pavitt thanks for saving my skin <3)

i’ve had crazy hormonal pcos chin and hyperpigmentation stuff going on for like 10 years and i scar from acne really easily, so this was my life’s mission to figure out. everything that @MARXINISTA said! i don’t have rx retinol but i use the ordinary’s .2% retinol w/ squalene at night (wont break the bank) followed by (blasphemy to some bc it’s not face lotion) palmers cocoa butter lotion. i break out over everything but this lotion does not exacerbate that, i promise! in the mornings, i use axis-y dark spot correcting glow serum w/ niacinamide followed by whatever moisturizer suits your fancy (pyungkang yul has some good, gentle dark spot stuff if you’re interested) and then an spf (crucial). i saw results super fast using both the axis-y and the ordinary products! if you can double cleanse that also helps. i use palmers cocoa butter oil cleanser followed by a traditional facial wash with tea tree oil. good luck :)

Every night I use the Sofie Pavitt Face Mandelic Clearing Serum: this is nothing short of life-changing. I was experiencing a very strange hormonal skin flare up early in January, and I bought this product as a pregnancy-safe exfoliant and acne serum–the before and afters (just 1 week apart) speak for themselves. I get worried when I start to run low on this product, and its one the few products in the world I would subscribe to monthly deliveries of. Sofie is so so so incredible and knowledgeable- this comes through in the authenticity of her brand. Her cleanser is shockingly good for a simple, gentle cleanser. I recently got hooked on this.

IG is so fucking boring these days. I've had enough. I post intimate and weirdly overthetop "poems" of sorts about the nitty gritty details of my life. I lose followers with every post and that gives me such a rush. Shake up that algorithm and let me know what's REALLY going on in your life!

Just me and the girls having a riot. I have yet to find a man who makes me laugh like they do.

I just read the book "the world is on fire but we're still buying shoes." A short little read about how to be better shoppers in this environment. FUCK AMAZON if you've gotta satisfy your urge to get some cool new garb or stuff for around the house buy from local thrift stores and vintage stores! Just picked up the headboard of my dreams at Goodwill. Better for your wallet, too. Plus it's cool to be like "oh this? It's secondhand."
