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 go-to daily SPF moisturizer because it's packed with so many wonderful ingredients and is lightweight enough for all skin types. The tinted option is so subtle but gives a bit of coverage and simply blends with another product to make the perfect color and coverage. DETAILS: Oil-free...

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: 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: Oil cleansers are the secret to healthy skin and removing makeup. This one can be used on the face AND body! I think it's a must-have. DETAILS:  New and improved! More nourishing, biodegradable formula. Gentle face, body, and scalp cleansing oil help balance the skin’s microbiome while restoring...

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: 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: This cleanser is it for 2 types of patients. It's wonderful for those with sensitive skin that is normal-dry and also breakout-prone. I also like this for preteens that are wanting to prevent or just starting to experience some congestion. There aren't many cleansers that address this skin...
