One hobby that I’ve picked up during the pandemic is skincare. Not only does it help boost my confidence, but also gives me time for self-care even when I’m busy! As someone who has had severe acne, I know that having skin issues can be a major source of insecurity for many; therefore, I wanted to share some products that have been recommended to me by my Dermatologist as well as products that are highly recommended by skincare enthusiasts and bloggers alike.

1. Niacinamide

Niacinamide is a serum with a watery consistency. It feels very light on the skin, and I usually put it on first thing in my routine (after cleansing my face, before moisturizer). Niacinamide has helped greatly with my post-acne hyperpigmentation and discoloration. I would say it is a personal favorite because, unlike many other products, with Niacinamide, you can see a noticeable change in a short period of time. My personal favorite is The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, but The INKEY List Niacinamide is also great!

2. Retinoid
