    If you've never used BHA before then I'd suggest the Paula's Choice as it's quite gentle for new users.

    Other options:

    • Isntree chestnut 2% BHA
    • COSRX: BHA Blackhead Power Liquid

    Thanks

    The people on Youtube begin their videos before the products dry down & use bright lights which sell that effect.

    The most important part is to ensure your moisture barrier is not broken, that means you're balancing exfoliation with hydration. The latter should always be a bigger priority. The former will smoothen texture and enhance pigmentation however the products are what make the foundation pop.

    • Oil cleaning
    • Vitamin C
    • Heavy focus on hydration (essence, serums, moisturizing)
    • Exfoliation & Retinol
    • SPF

    Thank you as always mate you're a blessing and a half

    Does oil cleansing help that much? What do they help with in particular as opposed to normal ones?

    Yes! Oil cleansing is better because it helps breakdown makeup and SPF a lot more effectively. Most products contain some form of oil so water based cleansers don’t get the job done fully.

    Also, majority of products and cleansers that are geared towards dehydrated or oily skin remove natural oils from the skin which in turn causes rebound oil production, essentially you’re stuck in an endless loop.

    The concept is to first oil cleanse then use a water based cleanser but the one that I use, Skin 1004 Madagascar Oil Cleanser is a 2 in 1. It’s an oil at first but when you add water, it washes everything away. There’s a post about it a couple pages back :)

    Make sure you’re not touching your forehead, one of the most common reasons of acne on the face is transferring bacteria from hands.

    Perhaps, a benzoyl peroxide face wash may help but I’d suggest to just keep hydrating the skin rather than drying it down with harsh products. You can always spot treat at the end of your routine which is much better!

    Beauty of Joseon: Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics (SPF50+ PA++++)

    I switched up my sunscreen after six years and I'm really enjoying this one. It's super hydrating and easy to wear. Not as lightweight as the Skin Aqua however it's much more moisturizing - you can really get away with using this as a primary moisturizer in the summer.

    Major ingredients:

    Rice extract 30% + Grain fermented extracts
    Rice and grain fermented extracts are rich in vitamins B, C, E, amino acids, and minerals which help to moisturize dry skin and comfortably calm the skin.

    Bout to cop. You cop directly from the site ?

    Might hop on tretinoin 🤔

    Seems more effective and cheaper than AHA/BHA, and you can also apply it after moisturizer instead of applying, waiting and washing off

    No, this is more hydrating than anything, can even substitute this for a morning moisturizing if you wanted.

    If you want a matte finish, check out ROHTO Skin Aqua Super Moisture Milk.

    I’ve been using AHA 30 peel for a bit every week and TO’s 2% Salicylic Acid Masque midweek

    Can’t really leave them on
