Cleanse

Counter+ Charcoal Cleansing Bar

Beautycounter, $26 for 3 oz

The Counter+ Charcoal Cleansing Bar is a great option for acne-prone skin. The Charcoal will pull out dirt and impurities that can cause blemishes.

Countercontrol Clear Pore Cleanser

Beautycounter, $26 for 5 oz

This is a great option if you’re looking for some mild exfoliation, which is achieved with jojoba beads and their SkinBalance Complex (naturally-occuring salicylic acid).

Tone

Countercontrol Instant Matte Toner

Beautycounter, $29 for 5 oz

This toner is a second step for cleansing after the face wash for your choice. Sensitive skin? Fret not — this toner is alcohol-free.

Moisture for Oily Skin

Countercontrol Matte Effect Gel Cream

Beautycounter, $39 for 1.7 oz

Myth: oily skin doesn’t need a moisturizer. It still does, just nothing too thick or heavy. This gel cream formula will hydrate just enough without getting greasy. Pro tip: Don’t try to put a primer over it; it may pill/peel off.

Counter+ №3 Balancing Facial Oil

Beautycounter, $69 for 0.67 oz

Don’t let the fact that it’s an oil scare you away — this facial oil balances out your skin hydration in order to prevent your face from producing excess sebum.

Treat Problem Skin

Counter+ Charcoal Facial Mask

Beautycounter, $49 for 2 oz

One of my all-time favorite Beautycounter products — this mask smells delightfully minty. It goes on black and dries grey, but the oil and dirt stay black, so you can actually see the impurities being pulled from the skin.

Counter+ Overnight Resurfacing Peel

Beautycounter, $63 for 1 oz

This is a best-selling product, and a great alternative for a retinoid if RetinA or Differin (topicals often prescribed for acne) has been too irritating for you in the past.

Countercontrol All Over Acne Treatment

Beautycounter, $39 for 1 oz

I love this all-over treatment, personally — the wintergreen in it feels tingly and super refreshing when you glide it on.

Countercontrol SOS Acne Spot Treatment

Beautycounter, $22 for 0.5 oz

An extra-potent shot of salicylic acid for current breakouts — use as needed for an additional dose of treatment.

Soothe Irritated Skin

Countermatch Eye Rescue Cream

Beautycounter, $39 for 0.5 oz

One area of the skin often-overlooked is the eye area. While your skin type may be oily, combination, or acne-prone, it’s still important to treat your eye area. This eye cream provides much-needed moisture to the eyelids and under eye, and helps fight the signs of aging at any age.

Reduce Dark Spots

Counter+ Brightening Facial Mist

Beautycounter, $36 for 1.7 oz

This is a great budget-friendly, versitile option to help reduce dark spots. Spray it after cleansing as a toner, before makeup as a primer, or after makeup as a setting spray.

Counter+ All Bright C Serum

Beautycounter, $79 for 1 oz

Ultra-potent Vitamin C helps to brighten those dark spots that acne can leave behind, while turmeric and camu camu extracts help to prevent new ones.

Counter+ №1 Brightening Facial Oil

Beautycounter, $69 for 0.67 oz

Save a step — this facial oil brightens and provides hydration. Use it after your treatments, but before your moisturizer.

Beautycounter, $120 for 4-piece set
