Face Reality dupes

Face Reality is a professional acne-care line from Face Reality Skincare in Southern California. Its range centers on salicylic, glycolic, mandelic and azelaic acids, benzoyl peroxide, retinoids and barrier-friendly moisturizers and sunscreens. Most products cost about $30 to $76. The brand sells through Certified Acne Experts rather than its own web store, so the prices we show are the list prices on facerealityskincare.com. The brand's own domain facereality.com is a parked page, not the brand.
