This isn't entirely comprehensive, & some things you wouldn't necessarily think of.

Don't be talked into a whole range of things by a chat therapist who can't see or feel your skin. This might help you think outside the box - because maybe you already have some of these products, you just need help using them. Doesn't include some of the usual suspects or Clearstart.

Does include SPF - combats UV triggers, prevents post inflammatory pigmentation.

High on skin confidence & some protection against makeup nasties !


ps... invest in a face treatment first to navigate product purchases. Especially with aggitated & sensitised issues, the Dermalogica segment of acne skincare products may overwhelm skin that has other underlying & less obvious needs - there isn't a skin care challenge we can't solve - together.
