CERAVE FOAMING CLEANSER Target breakouts that crop up with CeraVe’s foaming cleanser. It’s a dependable shower companion that won’t disrupt your skin barrier as it contains a protective trio of ceramides, hyaluronic acid and niacinamide. You’ll find it improves texture, skin tone and promotes healthy barrier function. It’s also gentle enough to use on your face. 

BENZAC AC MODERATE STRENGTH 5% ACNE WASH If you’ve ever heard of Benzac, then you’ll know it’s a brand tied to treating acne. The Benzac AC wash, in particular, works to soak up excess oil using an ingredient called acrylates copolymer—these tactical little beads are selective in what they absorb, targeting sebum build up. It’s also formulated with Glycerin to ensure an extra boost of hydration. Use it in-shower on your chest, shoulders and back followed by your favourite moisturiser. 

CERAVE SA SMOOTHING CREAM In the words of Sade, call yourself a smooth operator. This rich, yet fast absorbing cream acts as a two-in-one moisturiser and an exfoliator. You’ll not only get hydration with CeraVe’s SA Smoothing Cream but the formula includes a cult favourite combo of salicylic acid and hyaluronic acid to smooth out skin texture.

REN CLEAN SKINCARE AHA SMART RENEWAL BODY SERUM REN’s AHA Smart Renewal Body Serum uses lactic acid (one of the mildest forms of AHA) to naturally exfoliate the skin and clear pores leaving behind brightened and radiant skin. It’s the perfect way to add some active innovation to your skin ritual. Just remember it’s important to go slow with your AHA’s as it can be a little irritating. Moderation is key!
