Step 1: Cleanse Away Acne-Causing Buildup
Cleansing is more than a rinse. It’s the first defense against clogged pores and bacterial buildup. For acne-prone skin, you need something that removes impurities without stripping.
💚 Try this:
● Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Foam (150ml) – Soothes and purifies with gentle heartleaf extract. Perfect for irritated, oily skin.
● Anua Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleanser (150ml) – A deeper clean with calming power for congested pores.
Pro tip: Stick to a gentle cleanser twice daily—no over-washing!
Step 2: Gently Exfoliate (Without Damaging Your Barrier)
Regular exfoliation keeps pores clear and prevents the buildup of sebum and dead skin cells. But overdoing it can trigger more breakouts.
💚 Top pick:
● COSRX AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner (150ml) – A cult K-beauty favorite that helps unclog pores with gentle acids, prepping your skin for active serums.
Step 3: Treat the Root Cause with Targeted Serums
This is where real acne healing happens. Serums packed with niacinamide, centella, or snail mucin work to balance oil production, reduce inflammation, and repair the skin.
💚 Breakout-fighting heroes at Solveit:
● COSRX Niacinamide 15 Serum (20ml) – High-strength oil control and pore refinement in one bottle.
● PURITO Centella Unscented Serum (60ml) – Centella calms redness and supports skin healing—ideal for sensitive acne-prone skin.
● Beauty of Joseon Revive Serum (30ml) – Snail mucin + ginseng to soothe and repair damaged skin while targeting acne scars.
Step 4: Calm & Hydrate to Rebuild Your Barrier
Moisturizing is non-negotiable—even for oily skin. In fact, skipping it can make acne worse by signaling your skin to produce more oil.
💚 Hydrating, acne-safe moisturizers:
● COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All-in-One Cream (100ml) – Lightweight and healing, perfect for post-acne skin.
● PURITO Deep Sea Cream (50ml) – Packed with marine ingredients and free from irritants.
● Aquaphor Healing Ointment (for spot care) – Great as a barrier-repair balm on dry or post-treatment areas.
Step 5: Daily Sun Protection (Yes, Even If You’re Indoors)
Acne scars can darken and worsen with sun exposure. Protect your skin daily—especially when using exfoliating acids or retinol.
💚 Best SPF options for breakout-prone skin:
● Anua Heartleaf Silky Moisture Sun Cream (50ml) – Lightweight, calming, and non-comedogenic.
● SKIN1004 Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel (50ml) – SPF 50+ with hydration and no white cast.
● Somebymi Truecica Mineral Calming Suncream (50ml) – Tea tree + mineral filters = calm skin, strong defense.
