Your skin reminds me of
Petunias are show-off centerpieces of the garden. Like your skin, they have all of the desirable features and proper care is pretty simple. Your skin is not typically breakout-prone nor sensitive and tends to the oily side of the spectrum. In the long term this is healthiest, but we want to keep too much of a good thing in check. You’re in luck with good genes like our prolifically blooming plant friend.
The products in this package will keep your skin perky like a petunia!

Your A.M. Skincare Routine
AM Cleanser
MDSolarSciences Wash Away Cleanser
It's magical. The one cleanser I recommend everyone start with- no matter age or gender or skin type. It's not an oil cleanser but functions like one in that it gently removes eye makeup and fortifies the skin's natural protective moisture barrier. Plus THE PRICE makes it extra magical.
AM Treat
SBS Daily Toning Pads
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 and women and can be used after shaving for prevention.
AM Treat (Pregnancy-Safe Skin Care)
Epionce Lite Lytic Tx
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) to treat breakouts from 2 angles so double the efficiency. I like to use this in place of toner twice daily or some skin types- especially for those who can't tolerate a retinoid well.
AM Vitamin C
Obagi Vitamin C Serum 15% or 20%
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 you can tolerate 15% you can most likely tolerate 20% but I recommend increasing to 20% after using 1 bottle (6 month supply) of 15%.
AM Eye Cream
Epionce Renewal Eye Cream
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 as well, and this is the skincare definition of just a dot not a lot. It lasts for 4-6 months because a little goes so far. If you don't like it email me- I want to learn why!
AM SPF Moisturizer
EltaMD UV Clear
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 blend with another product to make the perfect color and coverage.
Your P.M. Skincare Routine
PM Oil Cleanse/Make-Up Remover
MDSolarSciences Wash Away Cleanser
t's magical. The one cleanser I recommend everyone start with- no matter age or gender or skin type. It's not an oil cleanser but functions like one in that it gently removes eye makeup and fortifies the skin's natural protective moisture barrier. Plus THE PRICE makes it extra magical.
PM Cleanser (Same as AM)
Obagi360 Exfoliating Cleanser
Exfoliating cleansers are my favorite for in the shower so you can use on the neck and chest too. This one gently removes dead skin cells with biodegradable wax beads (mechanical exfoliation) and papaya enzymes (chemical exfoliation. It also hydrates so it works well for all skin types in all climates. A little goes a long way so it lasts for months.
PM Eye Cream (Same as AM)
Epionce Renewal Eye Cream
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 as well, and this is the skincare definition of just a dot not a lot. It lasts for 4-6 months because a little goes so far. If you don't like it email me- I want to learn why!
PM Treat
Avene RetrinAL 0.1% Intensive Cream (or RX)
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 retinoic acid. The quality and price are wonderful compared to other products in this class.
Are you pregnant or breastfeeding? Use this PM Treatment.

I like to use this in place of toner twice daily or some skin types- especially for those who can't tolerate a retinoid well.
PM Moisturize
Alastin Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer
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 night may be preferred year-round or for cold weather months. It works well as an AM moisturizer option for all skincare routines.
PM Moisturize (Pregnancy-Safe Skin Care)
Epionce Renewal Facial Cream
This is the slightly thicker version of the Epionce face moisturizers. It's in a tub so thicker than the Renewal Facial Lotion but not as thick as the Intensive Nourishing Cream. The texture still serves well as a thicker PM option that can be used in AM for dry skin year round and in winter for oily skin. Honestly Epionce moisturizers across the board- face, body, skincare mask- are 100% worth the entire experience including texture, ingredients and very subtle smell that culminates from the natural botanical ingredients.
Note: While our Pregnancy-Safe suggestions are generally considered safe in pregnancy, all products used while pregnant or breastfeeding should be approved by your OB.
