With my recent adoption of adult acne, I’ve done pretty much everything I could do to attempt to get rid of my unwanted zits. As someone who grew up with perfect skin and only got a pimple maybe every few months, it’s extremely hard (and depressing!) to now, in her mid twenties, start breaking out!

Then I was very luckily introduced to Renee Rouleau’s skin care line. After reading that her AHA/BHA Cleansing Gel won a coveted Allure Best of Beauty award for “Best Cleanser for Oily/Acne Prone Skin,” I immediately had to try it. I was a little skeptical of anything that would exfoliate because most derms will tell you that scrubbing can only make acne red and more irritated but I was desperate and tried anyway.

The result? Well, I still struggle with my acne but the combination of my oral antibiotics and the AHA/BHA Cleansing Gel is perfection. The soap and sulfate-free gel uses alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), Beta hydroxy acid (BHA) and gentle Jojoba beads to smooth the skin and fade post-breakout marks while clearing clogged pores. Personally, I find the post-breakout marks to be worse than the actual zit! The miracle gel also contains Grapefruit Oil, which as you might know, is a natural astringent that also boasts Vitamin C and great antioxidants to keep skin young.

Cost: $35.50
