Dr. Sandra Lee, more widely known as Dr. Pimple Popper, has awed people for years with her curiously mesmerizing videos of blackhead-, cyst-, and just plain pimple-popping. But you don’t need to have a shock-worthy growth or an odd fascination with the repulsive in order to take advantage of Dr. Sandra’s services—she recently released a line of skincare products that you can now buy at Target.
The collection features seven acne-fighting products from SLMD Skincare (for Sandra Lee, M.D.) aimed at bridging the gap between the dermatologist’s office and the skincare aisle. She selected the products based on what she recommends to her patients, essentially giving you behind-the-scenes access to her honest opinion as a doctor, no appointment necessary.
The items range from a full 30-day skincare regimen to an SPF 15 daily moisturizer, with prices starting at $25. Here's what to buy:
SLMD Skincare Daily Moisturizer With SPF 15; $30
This lightweight daily moisturizer protects from UVA and UVB rays, which damage and age your skin more than you probably realize. It’s oil-free, so it won’t clog your pores like other sunscreens and SPF products.

SLMD Skincare Salicylic Acid Cleanser; $25
You can trust this gentle daily cleanser to strip away dead skin, dirt, and bacteria without causing your face to feel raw or dry. It’ll help you get rid of pesky blackheads and whiteheads, and it’ll keep your pores clear to prevent the formation of new ones.

SLMD Skincare Salicylic Acid Spot Treatment; $25
This little bottle of liquid will ensure that you never have another pre-event pimple meltdown. Just roll it on your spot and it’ll reduce redness and inflammation while clearing dirt and oil from the affected pores. You can apply it up to three times daily, but since it does dry out your skin, the directions recommend that you start with a once a day application and work your way up as needed.

SLMD Skincare Salicylic Acid Body Spray; $38
Because sometimes the worst acne isn’t on your face, Dr. Sandra Lee has developed an anti-acne body spray to fight the dirt, oil, and bacteria that builds up in hard-to-reach places—and the 360° nozzle will save you from having to practice contortion in order to spray that elusive middle-of-the-back spot.

SLMD Skincare Glycolic Acid Body Scrub; $35
Though Keratosis pilaris—the condition that causes bumpy patches of skin often on your arms or thighs—is harmless, it can get in the way of you feeling like the flawless human that you are. For that, Dr. Sandra Lee has created a body scrub with glycolic acid, which helps dissolve the keratin and dead skin that build up and cause rough, bumpy skin.

SLMD Skincare Glycolic Acid Body Lotion: $35
In addition to exfoliating, it’s really important to keep your bump-prone patches of skin moisturized. Glycolic acid not only clears away keratin buildup and dead skin cells, it also draws in water molecules. That’s where this lotion’s shea butter element comes in—to seal the water molecules in your skin and keep new bumps from forming.

SLMD Skincare Acne System Kit; $50
Treat your current acne and prevent future breakouts with these four products designed to last you about a month. The kit includes a gentle salicylic acid cleanser to unclog pores and fight blackheads and whiteheads without drying out your skin, a lightweight BP (benzoyl peroxide) lotion that kills acne-forming bacteria, a hydrating facial moisturizer that won’t clog your pores, and retinol serum to shrink your pores and make your skin feel softer than ever.

Available Only on SLMD Skincare's Website (For Now): UV Bounce; $40
This one isn't yet available at Target, but because “SPF” are the magic letters in skincare these days, be sure to check out Dr. Sandra Lee’s just-launched UV Bounce, an SPF 30 sunscreen powder that you brush on top of your regular makeup as a lightweight finish. The 90-day supply comes with an attached brush, and you can choose between three different powder shades. It’s also a fantastic fix for potential scalp sunburn, since we all know what a mess it makes to rub liquid sunscreen on your part.
