Ruby Martinez

I've been on a journey to heal my acne naturally for the past year and a half. You can see my journey on TikTok @rubysacne. And throughout my journey so far, I have been fortunate enough to try a lot of different products for my oily, sensitive, acne...

Cleansers

These are the cleansers that I have tried and would recommend for my oily, sensitive, acne prone skin. Two of them are exfoliating cleanser, that I use on occasion if I feel like I need to.

My all time fav cleanser. It lathers super well, is fragrance free, and leaves my oily skin feeling clean but not stripped.

La Roche Posay Purifying Foaming Cleanser

This is a good, gentle, exfoliating cleanser. I don't like exfoliating everyday, so I use this one occasionally. I also like that this brand is overall very clean, and uses non-toxic ingredients.

AHA jelly cleanser

use code RUBYSACNE for 15% off. This is my go-to travel cleanser as it lathers well, smells relaxing, and leaves my skin feeling clean but not stripped.

Calm Me Down Antioxidant Cleanser

Serums

These are the serums I have tried so far and would recommend. Be sure to read my notes on each one :)

Use code RUBYSACNE for 15% off! This serum helped me with my forehead wrinkles, and tightening my skin. I've heard it's especially great if you use botox.

BOUNCEBACK™ "No Botox Serum"

This serum is controversial, but in my opinion, it is great for reducing breakouts, redness, and oiliness. However, I would not recommend if your skin is SUPER sensitive. The high percentage of niacinamide may not be suitable for you.

Toners

These are the only two toners that I have tried and loved so far.

This toner made my skin feel the softest it has ever been in my life. It's not something I would recommend using daily if your skin is SUPER reactive, and if you're sensitive to fragrance, don't use it. But if your skin can handle it, HIGHLY recommen...

Glow2OH Dark Spot Remover & Toner

This toner was soothing and hydrating, and overall really helped refine the texture of my skin. I recommend it to anyone and everyone. Spraying this twice a day was my favorite way to apply :)

HEARTLEAF 77% SOOTHING TONER, 250ml

Moisturizers

These are the only moisturizers I keep finding myself going back to. Not that the other ones I've tried are bad; I just don't reach for them as often.

Great for skin barrier repair and a little goes a long way! May take time to get used to greasiness while you learn how much you need.

VanMan's Tallow & Honey Balm

Honestly my favorite moisturizer! It's lightweight, moisturizing, and completely scentless. Use code RUBYSACNE for 15% off.

Problem Solver Gel Cream Moisturizer

Masks

I usually use a mask once a week since I don't use any exfoliating products daily. My skin seems to really like regular exfoliation though, and these are the ones I've really liked.

This mask smells AMAZING. It smells like pumpkin pie, and leaves my skin feeling soft and looking bright. I use this one regularly.

Pumpkin Enzyme Masque - Natural Acne Clearing Mask

This stick has helped with smoothing out my chin and nose. I love that it has physical exfoliants so that I can control how much exfoliation I really get it out of it. It's surprisingly really gentle on the skin.

Pore Perfecting Stick

I love that this peel can be left on overnight. It makes my skin feel super soft and look super glowy.

Illuminating Enzymatic Peel™ - Vivier Skin

Supplements

Supplements are a great addition to your skincare routine but PLEASE CONSULT WITH A PROFESSIONAL BEFORE USING. I won't be responsible for any adverse effects you may experience because you decided to experiment on yourself. Anyways, here are my top s...

These are quite literally the reason why my skin has progressed so much. Kinda pricey, but so worth it. I saw results within the first two weeks of taking them.

Skin Accumax® Problem Skin Supplement

These are very effective for hormonal acne around the chin and jawline, and I recommend them if you don't like drinking spearmint tea. But organic spearmint tea is a great option too.

Spearmint 100 Capsules - 1000 mg - Organic Mentha ...

I haven't tried these yet, but they are a naturally high source of vitamin A (which accutane is derived from) and so I've heard great things about these.

Ancestral Supplements Grass Fed Beef Liver Capsules ...

Sunscreen

I'm very picky with sunscreens. They have to be mineral based, leave little to no white cast, absorb without leaving a greasy feeling, not smell weird, and not pill. I haven't tried many yet, so this year I'll try and test more sunscreens. But for no...

This is a liquidy, light weight mineral sunscreen that has a tint to it. It kinda leaves a greasy feeling until it fully absorbs, and I have had no issues with it pilling so far. It's the only sunscreen that I've used so far that I actually don't min...
