Reddit mentions of NOW Solutions, Sweet Almond Oil, 100% Pure Moisturizing Oil, Promotes Healthy-Looking Skin, Unscented Oil, 4-Ounce

So I do want to preface this by saying that my acne is largely hormonal. I don't break out because a product/fragrance is too harsh, nor is my acne really a result of clogged pores (like with dirt, oil, etc.), so YMMV if you've got sensitive or very acne-prone skin.

• Moisturizers: I like to combine CeraVe moisturizing cream (in the big tub) and The Estee Edit pink peony overnight water pack. After I cleanse in the morning (I use Soap and Glory peaches and clean deep cleansing milk if you were curious) I apply the CeraVe first and then the Estee one right on top. At night, I'll do the same thing but if I'm extra dry I'll also add a few drops of sweet almond oil on top of everything. You can get sweet almond oil fairly inexpensively on Amazon, I use this brand. Also, a note of caution on the CeraVe moisturizer: it’s kind of heavy and it may take your skin a little while to adjust to it, during which time you might find yourself looking a little greasy. Keep using it, though! Once you’re used to it, it’s a fantastic moisturizer.
  
  
• Primer: I'm currently using the Too Faced Hangover Primer which I have mixed feelings about. Sometimes I feel it doesn't really help the longevity of my makeup but it's gentle and does seem to moisturize a bit. I might look for something else once I finish up what I have, though. I used to use the very silicone-y primers (Smashbox photo finish, NYX studio perfect) before I realized that I really didn't like the feel of them on my face because they just sit on top of your skin. I've also heard of these types of primers clogging pores a bit.
  
  
• Foundation: Tarte Amazonian Clay. It's medium-full coverage but still looks quite natural if you apply it well. I almost always apply it with a damp Real Techniques sponge because it gives a better finish. You can build up coverage faster with a brush, but it'll emphasize dry patches a lot more unless you're really, really careful about using a stippling motion rather than buffing. You can also try applying it with your fingers - I did that today to try and get my makeup on quicker and it looked awesome. Like I don't know if I was just having a good skin day or if I unlocked a mystical secret of this foundation but I was seriously shocked at how good it looked.
  
  
• Concealer: Makeup Forever full cover concealer. Really good coverage without looking cakey or emphasizing dry spots. This is great for covering blemishes but it’s way too heavy for concealing under your eyes. If my skin is looking really bad and I’ve got some extra time in the morning, I’ll use a green concealer underneath the MUFE one as well. I’m currently using the NYX full coverage concealer (in the little jar), but because it’s pretty solid, it’s way, way too dry for my skin, so I’m on the lookout for a good green liquid concealer.
  
  
• Powder: Bare Minerals mineral veil. I sweep a very light layer over my face just to set everything and provide a good base for blending blush on top of it. Loose powders like this one look more natural on me than pressed powders and are a lot less likely to look dry and cakey.
  
  
• Setting spray: I use the Urban Decay all nighter spray. It seems pretty good, but this is the only setting spray I’ve ever used and I only started using it a couple of months ago so I don’t really have anything to compare it to. Sorry I can’t be more helpful in this category!

It really bugs me how they can charge you so much for their beard oil product. I bought an oz when i first started growing my beard and couldn't believe the constant average of price on beard oils. You can find all of the ingredients they list in their description to make their beard oils on Amazon. Almond, Jojoba, and avocado all usually come in 8oz bottles. Buy whichever essential oil scent you like and you have a large bottle full of your own beard oil, and it is just as good.

Please keep in mind that my face was a tiny bit angry in the pictures from last night as I had just finished OCM. The morning pictures are from right after I woke up, before doing any of my morning routine. :)

My skin type: Pretty dry, acne-prone (obviously), prone to redness. I also have dermatillomania (compulsive skin picking) which creates a lot of scabs/scars.

PM Routine:

• Makeup/sunscreen removal with my concoction of ~3 parts Johnson's Aloe and Vit E Baby Oil + 1 part NOW Foods Sweet Almond Oil + Tea Tree Oil (There are ~15 drops total in my 3 oz bottle of oil concoction)
  
  
• Quick cleanse with CeraVe Foaming Cleanser to remove the makeup-infused oil
  
  
• Heavy-duty OCM for 5-10 minutes with my oil concoction (I really need to make up a better name for that haha)
  
  
• Thorough cleanse with Cerave Foaming
  
  
• Apply Paula's Choice Clear Extra Strength Anti-Redness Exfoliating Solution With 2% Salicylic Acid (NOTE: This is actually listed as Clear Extra Strength Acne Exfoliant on the PC website, but it's called Anti-Redness on the product's page)
  
• Wait for the BHA to dry, then apply Silk Naturals 8% AHA Toner
  
• Immediately before turning off the lights to go to sleep (at LEAST 20 minutes after applying the AHA), apply Pond's Clarant B3 Dark Spot Correcting Cream
  
  
  And done!
  
  Seriously guys, I feel like a superhero with amazing healing powers! Thank you all so much for the advice and guidance. <3

I want any of the lip balm making supplies on my hobbies list. I make my own lip balm because it works better and I can tailor it, but I can't justify that I "need" any of it because chapstick exists. And it's way more expensive and totally unnecessary but i'm a perfectionist.

• Lanolin because i'm low and it's heaven in oil form
  
  
• beeswax because I want less runny balms so I can take them with me
  
  
• cocoa butter because it's soft and creamy :3
  
  
• Sweet almond oil because it will smell great with the coconut oil I have
  
  Fun Fact: I wrote a series of books when I was younger. No I will not say which ones or my name.
