1. Peter Thomas Roth Max Complexion Correction Pads are two-sided so you don’t waste a drop of this citrus scented solution. Our skin wasn’t over-dried or irritated either, but be warned, there’s an brief stinging sensation when it’s first applied. ($36, sephora.com)

2. Looking for something on the go? Try The Body Shop's Tea Tree Blemish Gel. This lipstick-sized potion can knock out a blemish quickly and it smells minty fresh too. ($9, thebodyshop-usa.com)

3. PyratineXR was created to combat acne, age-damaged skin, rosacea and redness. The product works slowly over time to make your skin look its best and it’s so gentle, you can even use it on sensitive skin. ($138, pyratinexr.com)

4. This may not be the best-smelling product on the market, but Payot Pate Grise is a concealer that also eliminates acne and blackheads. It goes on a little thicker than your average liquid foundation, but blends well into your skin. ($30, skin-one.com)
