Vitamin E Oil (as topical) | $9 | E oil keeps a healing wound well moisturized, helping to prevent a scar. I like to buy high IU liquigels + break them open for topical application. Easily targeted squeeze application + so much less fuss. Bottled E oil tends to get very messy. ** FYI — E Oil can be an allergen for some people. ** | Freshly Healing Acne | PM Only 1. Carefully clip open a liquigel at one end. 2. Squeeze some E Oil onto post-acne spot. 3. Optional: Since it’s sticky, can apply a light-stick bandaid to cover overnight. It will really soak in + not transfer to pillows. Can even apply the oil to bandaid + then apply across healing spot. |
Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin C Drop | $23 | Vitamin C is a building block of new skin. It can help even out skin tone, fade post-acne dark spots, help heal post-acne, and keep skin youthful. Just make sure to keep this bottle in a cool, dark place. Vita C will break down in the sun + go bad. I’ve used this up without it going bad + don’t agree with the bashing this one gets. It’s a great, low %, inexpensive intro to Vita C. I saw great results from it while healing. | Red or Dark Post-Acne Site Anti-Aging | 1. Slowly introduce this to your skin. Use a small amount, back off a few days, then try again. Your skin may overreact to Vitamin C at first. Gently wash off with lukewarm water, if that happens. 2. Apply after cleansing (after an essence, if you use one) 3. If your skin stays calm, can slowly increase usage. |
