WHY SYDNEY LOVES IT: Textured toning pads are the perfect way to add chemical and physical exfoliation to prevent and treat breakouts as well as discoloration from past breakouts and sun. They're easy-to-use and great for post-workouts, travel, teenagers, or anyone that loves to keep things simple. They also reduce the appearance of razor bumps on both men...

WHY SYDNEY LOVES IT: The hands-down BEST EYE CREAM. The texture, ingredients, price, plus it's made for those with extra sensitive skin. I've tried 40+ eye creams, and this is it. There are others that are similar, but they will be over $100. I love that it's in a pump bottle...

WHY SYDNEY LOVES IT: My favorite sunscreen. It's 100% mineral AND protects against heat, UV light including blue light from screens, using a technique plants use to protect themselves from the sun! It's the best SPF option for those with melasma/brown discoloration as the main concern. It has enough coverage to...

WHY SYDNEY LOVES IT: Vitamin C serum is the first place to spend money in your routine. Medical-grade vitamin C serum can't be replicated at the drugstore. I prefer Obagi Vitamin C Serums to other medical-grade brands due to the texture and price. It's antioxidant of the morning skincare routine. If...

WHY SYDNEY LOVES IT: Vitamin C serum is the first place to spend money in your routine. Medical-grade vitamin C serum can't be replicated at the drugstore. I prefer Obagi Vitamin C Serums to other medical-grade brands due to the texture and price. It's antioxidant of the morning skincare routine. Start...

WHY SYDNEY LOVES IT: The texture is special- it's thick enough to replenish at night but thin enough to use in the morning as well. Plus it has PEPTIDES for anti-aging. For the price it's an MVP. I love it as an all-in-one year-round moisturizer. For drier skin a thicker moisturizer at...

WHY SYDNEY LOVES IT: This is the vitamin C for those with any skin sensitivities or rosacea. It has a derivative of ascorbic acid called THD Ascorbate, which makes it more appropriate for the most sensitive skin. It also serves as an anti-aging serum and has all vitamins A-E found in our...

WHY SYDNEY LOVES IT: If you're new to retinoids this one is a great place to start for all skin types. It's my product pick for those who can't tolerate a stronger and less expensive retinoid. I never recommend retinol because retinaldehyde is stronger, and still less irritating than the active retinoid form called...

WHY SYDNEY LOVES IT: My pick for retinoid alternative during pregnancy or those that can't tolerate a retinoid. Of course check with your OB before using. Azelaic acid is universally considered safe in pregnancy. This product combines azelaic acid with salicylic acid <2% (so less than what is at the drugstore)...

WHY SYDNEY LOVES IT: Add these to your routine 1-2 times weekly to augment the treatment of discoloration, dark spots, and melasma + they improve texture, the appearance of pores, blemishes, and PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation). You asked I listened! These are gentle enough for all skin types AND improve redness unlike many...

WHY SYDNEY LOVES IT: This can be used as an extra thick moisturizer as well as neck cream. It was actually studied on the neck and chest by the dermatologist who created the Epionce line for his mom who wanted a neck cream. Yes, it's a bit of a splurge but for many 1...

WHY SYDNEY LOVES IT: One of my all-time favorite products because it efficiently moisturizes, protects with SPF, and adds subtle color. Subtle enough to apply without a mirror which is preferable to me!DETAILS: High-end lip color meets SPF Lip Balm with natural moisturizing ingredients. Packed with shea butter + fortified with avocado and olive oil...

WHY SYDNEY LOVES IT: 2 words- texture and ingredients. It has calming ingredients for sensitive, red, and post-procedure skin.  It also has a special texture that's not too thick or thin so it can be used AM and PM.  If you're looking for one go-to moisturizer for any skin type in your routine this is it.  DETAILS: a multi-tasking,...

WHY SYDNEY LOVES IT: Possibly my favorite skincare product. This can be left on overnight as a moisturizer when your skin needs some extra love to thrive. It's a must for all skin types to navigate seasons and incorporate new/stronger ingredients. Dry skin can use a few times weekly, and it's...

WHY SYDNEY LOVES IT: This is a really gritty exfoliator to add to your routine daily or a few times a week, depending on your skin type. This product is perfect for buffing away dead skin and leaving the skin with that fresh skin feeling that Sydney loves! DETAILS:  Gently helps to remove...

WHY SYDNEY LOVES IT:  If I had to choose one sunscreen for everyone for forever it's this one. It's simply a lotion and does not smell like sunscreen. The best if you can use it on your face and body so easily. It doesn't have the extra anti-aging ingredients for...

WHY SYDNEY LOVES IT: My anti-aging SPF pick for those with dry skin. The texture is super silky and the coverage is very light but can serve as makeup for some. It's packed with extra ingredients to specifically protect the facial skin from cancer and wrinkle causing UV rays from the...

WHY SYDNEY LOVES IT: I like this targeted serum twice daily for those with underlying redness from acne, rosacea, or just wanting to add a serum to their routine. This is wonderful for all skin types and also adds two ingredients that are fine alone- bakuchiol and hyaluronic acid- but when combined...

WHY SYDNEY LOVES IT: A 100% MINERAL SPRAY sunscreen you actually want to wear... this has NOT YET existed. I don't really need to say more, but I will because I love to talk about elegant sunscreen. File this in one of my favorite skincare splurges and also one of my...
