1.A pack of Rael pimple patches first and foremost, because everyone gets acne sometimes (and always at the worst possible moment)! These’ll heal breakouts FAST without causing scarring (or letting you pick). They’re gentler than acne cream, speed up recovery to practically overnight, and do all the ~heavy lifting~ for you.

FYI, the witch hazel is there to soothe and tone your skin (to balance out the other exfoliating properties). And if you’re a skincare obsessive like me, I don’t have to tell you how great a deal $10 is for glycolic acid. Bless.
Promising review: “I am new to the world of AHAs and glycolic acid, so I’m not sure how this product measures up to others similar to it. But I’ll never go back to NOT exfoliating. I’ve noticed my stubborn acne scars fading drastically after only a week of using these nightly. My recurring acne in those areas seem to be dying down, and my overall skin tone seems to be brightening. I am really impressed so far!” —Mitzy McMillion
Get a pack of 60 from Amazon for $9.97.
21.A La Roche-Posay foaming facial cleanser so a) you absolutely get your money’s worth (just look at the size of that bottle!) and b) you can wash off all your makeup, remove excess oil, and end the day with a fresh face in a few minutes flat. Literally anyone who just wants to get to bed faster is about to QUITE pleased.

If you wash your face and notice how much DIRT and GRIME is there after a full day of city air exposure, you understand why this is so important. You can wear it as a layer *after* moisturizing and *before* makeup!
Promising review: “This is AMAZING. I don’t want to think of a time when I didn’t use this. I’ve had it in my AM skincare routine for the past few weeks and my skin feels amazing.” —shiibabyyy
Get it from Sephora for $60.
