Acne is one of the most common skin problems many of us face. While there’s nothing to be ashamed of because it’s totally normal, they can affect one’s self-esteem and confidence. Some pimples also can be itchy, red and even painful, which can be irritating to the skin.
Thankfully, many products are now available in the market to help relieve this concern. Here are 7 Korean items you can add to your skin-care routine!

It is packaged in a small bottle with dropper for easy application and contains a rich moist formula that doesn’t leave a sticky feeling.
For optimum results, you can combine it with their AC Control Cream that hydrates dry skin. It also helps in controlling the oiliness, which is the main culprit for acne breakouts.
