✨ Two K-Beauty Skincare Collections That’ll Finally Calm Down That Oil & Acne ✨ 

If you’re constantly dealing with breakouts, stubborn hormonal acne, or oily skin that just won’t give you a break, these two K-Beauty skincare collections are about to change your life. I’ve tried all these products for my hormonal acne and carefully curated these collections - with the help of dermatologists and estheticians - to target different acne concerns.

And because I know many of us have teens battling acne too, I’ve called out which products are gentle and safe enough for adolescents—so you can help them build a routine that actually works for them, too (resulting in less stealing of your products 😉).

✨ Acne, Oil Control Collection I:  Calm & Clear ✨

Collection I has gentler, more soothing, and hydrating solutions, perfect for more persistent acne and sensitive skin. All the products in this collection are adolescent-safe, making it ideal for teens and adults alike!

Best for:

• Persistent, recurring acne that just won’t quit.

• Sensitive, easily irritated skin prone to redness.

• Teens and adults—all products in Acne, Oil Control Collection I are gentle enough for adolescents.
