Guide: Blemishes

The Korean strategy for blemishes

Instead of drying the skin out with harsh cleansers and high alcohol content, the skin barrier stays intact and the care is targeted: BHA clears pores, heartleaf soothes, niacinamide regulates sebum, and hydrocolloid patches protect individual spots. A light moisturiser is always part of it.

Typical mistakes

  • Too many actives at once: acids, retinol and vitamin C on one evening irritate the skin.
  • No cream for fear of shine: dehydrated skin produces more sebum.
  • No sunscreen: UV radiation intensifies redness and dark marks after spots.

Cosmetic skincare supports the complexion with mild blemishes. For persistent or inflammatory acne, dermatological advice is sensible.

Frequently asked questions

Which order for blemish-prone skin?

Cleanser, toner, serum (for example niacinamide), light cream, sunscreen in the morning. BHA two to three times a week in the evening instead of the toner.

Does snail mucin help with blemishes?

Snail mucin hydrates and supports a supple complexion, including on blemish-prone skin. For clogged pores themselves, BHA and niacinamide are the more targeted actives.
