10 Best Korean Skin Care Products for Acne Curated by The Yesstylist & Mini Review Products I've Tried


Are you troubled by acne? Acne is a skin condition caused by blocked pores and it can lead to whiteheads, blackheads, cysts and pimples. Those with oily skin or sensitive skin tend to develop acne more easily, but acne can be caused by various factors including hormonal changes or dehydrated skin, which causes the skin to produce more sebum than needed.

In this article, I’ve curated ten of the best Korean skin care products for acne-prone skin. Some are effective in exfoliating skin and cleansing pores to prevent acne formation, while others help to soothe skin, minimize pores and fade acne scars.


1. Anua – Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil

This non-comedogenic cleaning oil helps to remove makeup, excess sebum and impurities in pores without burdening skin thanks to its lightweight formula. It stars heartleaf extract, which is known for its soothing powers, plus five plant-based oils including grape seed oil, jojoba seed oil, macadamia seed oil, sunflower seed oil and olive oil.

Teksturnya light dan ringan digunakan jadi langsung bikin melt make up dan bonusnya kalo kita massae agak lebih lama bisa dapet komedo nih, packagingnya juga pump jadi lebih praktis.

COSRX – Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser

2. COSRX – Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser

An all-time favorite at YesStyle, this water-based gel cleanser has a pH level close to that of your skin to prevent irritation. Infused BHA exfoliates skin to prevent the formation of blackheads, while tea tree oil’s antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties help to combat acne. The transparent gel turns into soft and fine foam upon massaging with water for a gentle yet thorough cleanse.

Tekstur: gel bening dan ringan tapi bisa menghasilkan busa yang banyak ketika digunakan untuk mencuci muka, ada sedikit aroma seperti herbal khas korea gitu tapi tidak mengganggu.
Packaging: ini aku pake yang mini size tapi untuk full size pun juga sama packagingnya kalo dari penampakannya tapi aku kurang tahu untuk bentuk lubang tubenya
Formula: di aku ini gak bikin kulit kering ketarik gitu apalagi kulitku yang dehidrasi tapi misal kelamaan gak aku pakein step skincare selanjutnya jadi agak kering sih apalagi di cuaca dingin, btw meskipun ini nama produknya good morning gel cleanser tapi aku juga pake gak hanya pagi sih ini juga aku pake untuk malam sebagai rangkaian double cleansing.

3. SOME BY MI – AHA, BHA, PHA 30 Days Miracle Toner

Celebrated for its ability to improve acne-prone skin in 30 days, SOME BY MI’s famous toner uses AHA, BHA, PHA and tea tree leaf extract to remove dead skin cells, control sebum production and soothe skin, resulting in minimized pores and smoother skin. Soak a cotton pad with the toner and wipe gently across the face.

Brand ini sih emang oke produknya bahkan berkali kali aku spill soalnya saking sukanya, kalau yang AHA BHA PHA series ini gentle exfoliate jadi bakal cocok untuk semua jenis kulit.

4. COSRX – Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence

Snail mucin is known for its ability to heal wounds and fade hyperpigmentation. This COSRX essence is formulated with 96% snail secretion filtrate to repair skin and improve skin’s tone and texture. It also contains sodium hyaluronate, allantoin and panthenol for hydration and calming effects. Suitable for all the skin types, the essence can be used in conjunction with other potent ingredients such as retinol and Vitamin C products.

Ini nyaman banget dipake buat kulit kering karena ya tahulah ya khasiat snail mucin untuk melembabkan kulit tuh emang mantap, nah ini oke dan bikin kulit plump.

5. Dear, Klairs – Midnight Blue Calming Cream

The dreamy blue hue comes from chamomile extract (guaiazulene) which helps to soothe inflamed skin. This gentle cult-favorite cream is also packed with ceramide, argan oil and centella asiatica extract to moisturize skin and promote healing.

Pernah coba ini walau kemasan samplenya tapi emang the best buat calming kulit dan mengurangi redness, lembabnya juga pas.
