Let’s break down everything I’ve been doing to get the clearest skin I’ve ever had — without antibiotics or a pill. First: I cut about 80% of my dairy. I still have eggs and butter, but I removed whey protein, cottage cheese, and daily dairy creamer. That alone reduced inflammation for me. Second: spearmint tea. I drink it twice a day (a few times a week works too). Clinical data shows it may help hormonally driven acne over time. Third: consistency with treatments. I microneedle every 4–6 weeks and don’t skip. Collagen stimulation + texture refinement made a big difference in clarity and scarring. I also simplified my skincare instead of constantly adding more. My staples: • La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Cleanser or Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser • Toner (helps my moisturizer absorb instead of pill). Anua Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner is great for any skin type, and the Japanese toner I use helps with brightening + hyperpigmentation. • La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer Daytime: EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46. Switching formulas mattered because I was still getting sunspots. Night: I alternate IS Clinical Pro-Heal Serum Advance+, tretinoin, and a Korean brightening treatment. I never skip Revision Skincare Nectifirm for my neck + décolletage (safe day or night — just layer SPF). I use my LED mask morning and night. Red light supports collagen and calms inflammation. It’s not overnight — it’s consistency. And one small add-on: Etude House My Lash Serum for brows + lashes. At night, I seal everything with VT COSMETICS PDRN Essence Stick to support barrier repair. Clear skin isn’t one miracle product. It’s reducing inflammation, protecting your barrier, and staying consistent. Everything is linked below 🤍
