For those who have struggled (or continue to struggle) with acne, the unpredictability of a breakout can be truly exhausting and the pimples just plain painful. No one wants to be battling a constellation of blackheads or a planet of a zit right before an important event—think: meeting a date IRL, speaking at the front of a conference room, your BFF's bachelorette party.
The best way to control pesky acne is to identify a skincare routine that works for you. Here's the *really* important part: STICK. TO. IT. Like, as hard as you've stuck to that ridiculous show you can't stop binge-watching, okay??
After much trial and error with her own skincare routine, beauty vlogger Caryn Marjorie finally started seeing results when she began consistently using a handful of Neutrogena products.
Check out her picks below and then watch the video to see each step in action!
Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelette Singles
Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Facial Moisturizer
Step 1: Remove makeup with a cleansing towelette.
Caryn begins by taking off her makeup with Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelette Singles. The individually-wrapped towelettes were made for days on-the-go. Throw a few in your purse, like Caryn does—then, there's no excuse for not taking your makeup off every time.
Step 2: Use a foaming scrub to clear blemishes.
For her cleanser, Caryn uses Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scub. It's made with maximum-strength salicylic acid acne-fighting medicine.
Step 3: Apply a blackhead-eliminating strip.
Caryn uses Neutrogena Blackhead Eliminating Strip To Scrub, which are unlike any blackhead strips you've used before. They're medicated and transform into an exfoliating scrub, so there's no uncomfortable skin tugging required. #sold
Step 4: Moisturize that face!
The beauty vlogger's pick for hydration (v important!) is Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Moisturizer. It's lightweight and absorbs super quickly without a greasy feel.
