Struggling with acne can feel overwhelming, especially when nothing seems to work. For months, I battled stubborn breakouts and uneven skin, but through trial, patience, and the right routine, my skin finally started to clear up.

If you're facing the same challenges, here’s what helped me transform my skin and regain confidence.

My Skincare Routine:

1. Cetaphil Cleanser

A gentle, fragrance-free cleanser that suits all skin types. It cleanses effectively without stripping moisture—my trusted daily essential.

2. Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Toner

This toner harnesses ginseng’s power to boost hydration, reduce redness, and fade dark spots. Ideal for sensitive and acne-prone skin.

3. Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum

With 60% propolis extract and 2% niacinamide, this serum deeply hydrates, calms irritation, and controls oil to help prevent breakouts.

4. Cosrx Ultra Moisturizing Lotion

A lightweight moisturizer that nourishes and plumps skin without feeling greasy, perfect for all skin types.

5. Deriva Adapalene 0.1% Gel

A retinoid treatment that accelerates skin renewal and reduces acne. I use a pea-sized amount at night, three times weekly, avoiding the eye and mouth areas. Sunscreen is a must the next day.

6. Sunplay Skin Aqua UV Brightening Sunscreen

Sunscreen is essential to protect skin and prevent dark spots. This one suits my skin well without causing breakouts.

Diet Changes I Made:

- Reduced sweets and processed foods

- Limited oily and fried dishes

- Avoided spicy and pungent foods

Remember, healing takes time, but with the right routine and mindset, clearer skin is within reach. Keep going—you deserve to feel confident in your own skin!
