have you tried this creamy foam Korean cleanser?💦 🌊 the @roundlab.global 1025 dokdo cleanser is low ph gentle cleanser which is infused with 74 deep sea minerals to softly remove any impurities from the skin. It works to hydrate the skin by forming a moisturising barrier to prevent water loss making it the perfect option for a double cleanse. ☁️ as you can see from the clip, the cleanse foams to a rich soft lather that is easy to work into the skin. it has a very minimal scent and doesnt sting the eyes whatsoever. 🫧 this cleanser is thickums.. I find if it’s in a cooler area then it can be harder to squeeze from the tube but as the weather seems to be warming up here it has been easier to remove from the tube so keep that in mind if you live in a cooler climate. I really can’t think of one thing I don’t enjoy about this product. It effectively cleanses, is affordable and does the job. What more could you want?? ✨pr/gifted from @stylekorean_global for review purposes only✨

Acne Exfoliating Toner

A gentle BHA toner. BHA really helps my cystic acne in reducing it in size.

This is a light and watery toner that absorbs into skin very quickly. It feels hydrating and gentle, does not leave skin dry or irritated. It contains no added fragrance, but has a light herbal type scent similar to the cleanser. Same with the cleanser, as long as your skin is used to BHA I’d say this is sensitive skin friendly. Also only $11 at Ulta. Very similar to the popular BHA toner in the black bottle, but about 1/3 of the price.

A-Control is a 10% azelaic acid serum. If you aren’t familiar with azelaic acid, it’s amazing for light exfoliation, acne prone skin, and those with rosacea and other types of redness. It’s one of my favorite ingredients. This serum also contains niacinamide, panthenol, and snail secretion filtrate. It’s light and watery and absorbs into skin fast. No scent at all. I’ve been loving it for reducing the redness on my cheeks and nose due to my rosacea. I also find snail very soothing and highly moisturizing, so this is a nice combo serum.

I read a review of this product somewhere where the reviewer said she used this serum when she started using a strong exfoliant and she had no issues with irritation or purging. I thought that was such a great idea, providing your skin extra barrier support when starting on strong actives. Genius! So when I started using the PC BHA exfoliant and PC retinol/bakuchiol treatment, I also started using this serum the following mornings and I have had no irritation and very minimal purging while introducing those products to my skin. And that’s pretty amazing for someone who has sensitive skin and mild rosacea. So I think this serum has definitely helped! It’s a lovely serum, has a great light texture and absorbs nicely, and is very calming for my skin. I’ve started using it every morning because I feel like it just makes my skin look so much better when I do use it. And no fragrance!

Deep Blemish Microdarts

These microdarts also reduces the size and redness of deep acne! I’ve bought them countless times.

These pimple patches have microdarts on the surface of them that penetrate into your skin to treat that deep acne. The microdarts contain niacinamide, tea tree, salicylic acid, and cica to really target the acne. You do feel the microdarts pressing into your skin when you apply them but they don’t hurt. Press and hold for 15 seconds and then let them do their magic! They stay on really well, I wear them overnight. I get cystic acne that is hormonal, so it shows up every month and can last for a week or more. The first month that I used these microdarts on my hormonal acne, it cleared up the spots in 2 nights! I was amazed. It significantly shortened the time they were active and painful. The trick is to start using the microdarts as soon as you see the cystic acne appear. Then it usually only takes 2-3 nights of use for my acne to disappear. They don’t get super big and painful like I usually experience. I have used them for the last 3 months and they have worked well each time.
