about Acne & blemishes.
Breakouts settle faster with a routine you can stick to than with one you keep changing, so build it around a gentle cleanser, one active step and a light moisturizer. If clogged pores and excess oil are behind your spots, make that step the SOME BY MI AHA-BHA-PHA 30 Days Miracle Toner, which clears dead skin and oil from pores with AHA, BHA and PHA together.
If redness is the bigger worry, choose the Anua Heartleaf 77 B3Zinc Soothing Serum instead, a fresh heartleaf serum that helps calm the look of breakouts and redness. For skin that flushes as easily as it breaks out, Pyunkang Yul's Calming range pairs centella with tea tree, and COSRX's pimple patches look after the one that shows up anyway.
questions, answered.
What should I start with for breakouts?
One gentle active, not five. After a mild cleanser, add either an exfoliating toner such as the SOME BY MI AHA-BHA-PHA 30 Days Miracle Toner or a calming ampoule such as the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Tea-Trica Relief Ampoule, then a light moisturizer and sunscreen. Give it three or four weeks before adding anything else.
Which Korean cleanser is best for acne-prone skin?
Look for a foam with salicylic acid that clears pores and leaves skin feeling fresh and soft. The Pyunkang Yul Calming Acne Cleansing Foam pairs it with tea tree, the celimax Ji Woo Gae Cica BHA Acne Foam Cleansing adds cica to help calm the look of redness, and the COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser is mild enough for every day.
Do I still need a moisturizer if my skin breaks out?
Yes. A light layer of moisture keeps a routine with an active step comfortable. Choose something made for breakout-prone skin, such as the Aestura THERACNE365 Soothing Active Moisturizer, which hydrates while it keeps excess oil in check; smooth it on once your toner and serum have sunk in.
