Acne & Blemish

Korean skincare for pimples focuses on gentle cleansing, light hydration and targeted care for skin prone to breakouts and blemishes. This collection puts every step of a routine in one place: water-based cleansers, hydrating toners, serums, ampoules, face moisturizers and spot treatments.

Brands include VT Cosmetics, Pyunkang Yul, SOME BY MI, Mary&May, Mediheal, Isntree and Medicube. Many formulas use ingredients such as niacinamide, BHA or cica, which are popular in routines for oily or congested-looking skin.

A simple tip: change one product at a time and keep the rest of your routine gentle, because over-scrubbing can leave skin more irritated. Keep a light moisturizer in the mix, even if your skin feels oily. For more routine ideas, read our skincare tips for skin prone to breakouts.
