November always feels like a turning point for my skin. The weather shifts. The air becomes colder. My routine slows down and becomes more intentional. This month I leaned into products that are soothing, effective, and reliable. These five shaped my skin all November long.
Avène Tolerance Extremely Gentle Cleanser
This cleanser in the blue bottle has been my calm in the chaos. It cleans without stripping and keeps my skin balanced even on my more sensitive days. It has become my everyday staple because it removes makeup and impurities while still leaving my skin soft and comfortable.
Avène Cicalfate Restorative Protective Cream
This is my favourite product ever. Truly a game changer. Cicalfate is the product I trust with my whole heart. Anytime I have irritation, dryness, or feel like my barrier needs support this is the cream I reach for. It soothes instantly and repairs overnight. It has completely changed the way my skin behaves in the colder months.
SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.3
I recently started easing retinol back into my routine. A few months ago I got the worst retinol burn ever so I needed to take a long break to let my skin recover. This month I finally felt ready to reintroduce it slowly and this one has been perfect. It gives me results without overwhelming my skin. It smooths texture, helps with clarity, and leaves my complexion looking refined and glowy without triggering irritation.
Caudalie Beauty Elixir Spray
This spray is my fresh moment throughout the day. I use it after the gym, during work, and before makeup. It brightens, hydrates, and gives that subtle glow that makes your skin look alive. It is the easiest way to reset your face in seconds.
Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Dark Spot Correcting Cream
This cream targeted my dark spots all month and kept my skin bright and even. It moisturizes without feeling heavy and gives my complexion a smooth, radiant finish. If dullness is your winter problem this is the product that brings your skin back to life.
This month made me really pay attention to what my acne prone skin responds to as the weather changes. These five products kept everything balanced, hydrated, and clear without overwhelming my routine. They are reliable, effective, and worked seamlessly with my sensitive breakout prone skin. As we move into winter I will be keeping all five in rotation because they made a noticeable difference in how my skin looked and felt.
