I Haven't Broken Out in 6 Months Thanks to These 4 Products

For years, I had been under the assumption that oils were good for my oily skin thanks to the whole oil attracting oil logic. But when I went to see my dermatologist after that fateful reactionary flareup, he told me all oil-based products needed to go, since they were the likely culprit of my clogged pores and inflamed skin. Instead, he recommended that I hydrate my skin with a water-based gel moisturizer (after my recovery period), and it's been the single most impactful change I've made. I've been using the Biossance Squalene + Probiotic Gel Moisturizer ($52) ever since, and my skin loves it. The combination of the cooling gel consistency and the probiotic ingredient really helps to reduce any redness.
