Acne Approved Cleansers I’m Loving

Dealing with acne is like battling on a battlefield, but with a disciplined routine and the right products for your skin, it is manageable.

 In the past, acne has been a struggle for me. I’m still working on finding a treatment without resorting to birth control or harsh pills like Accutane. After one round of Accutane, I experienced shedding of 1/3 of my hair and worsening skin + skin barrier. This was four years ago. It took me years to figure out a way to manage the acne inside and out. Here, I’ll share some top acne cleansers that are gentle on your skin and have shown great results.
