From a fellow acneic cutie to another, I’ve corralled my all-time favorite lotions and potions that have helped me in my own quest for brighter, happier skin. (And for those days when I’m having an active zit, I’ll pop on a star-shaped patch or some spot treatment and queue up some Love Island.) Whether you’re looking for a targeted treatment, hydrating serum, exfoliating toner, or something else, we’ve gathered 11 products that we wholeheartedly feel are worth the investment — because hello, there’s no first-world beauty problem like finishing up a product and having your skin look exactly the same as before you tried it.
