What is your Skin Concern?
Wrinkles / Fine Lines
As we age, our skin produces less collagen and elastin, causing the skin to become thinner, less firm and sagging, which results in fine lines and wrinkles. Fine lines and wrinkles start forming around eyes and mouth area, usually in our 20s or 30s. Sun exposure is another critical factor that contributes to the formation of fine lines, wrinkles and other aging signs. Even though there is no way to avoid aging, there are some skin care treatments that can help to slow down the process.

Acne / Pimples
“Dear Pimples, can you please go away?” Acne is a common skin issue among teenagers, yet it can still be a concern for adults and beyond.
The increase in oil in the follicle, resulting in a blockage in pores is the main reasons for acne breakouts. Meanwhile, dead skin cells, clogged pores, hormonal changes, stress, lack of sleep, imbalanced diet and other environmental aggressor can also be a contributing factor.

Regular exfoliation helps reduce acne as it unclogs pores and remove dead skin cells. Best to cleanse and exfoliate with acne-fighting ingredients like Salicylic acid. COSRX Salicylic Acid Cleanser effectively removes and cleanses away dead skin and unclog pores that can lead to breakouts.

Blackheads
Blackheads can be the most annoying thing ever. They are usually formed when our pores are blocked with debris, oil or dead skin cells.
How to treat it?
Ongoing and consistent treatment is required to completely remove blackheads as they will not be removed in one-off treatment.
The first step of getting rid of blackheads is exfoliating. Exfoliation is effective when it comes to removing impurities within pores and reducing the production of oil. It helps remove dead skin cells which prevents the transformation of your makeup residues, dirt and dead skin into blackheads. Yet, remember not to over-exfoliate as it can cause damage to your skin, causing dryness and irritations. We recommend exfoliating once or twice a week with gentle yet effective exfoliator like KLAIRS Gentle Black Sugar Facial Polish or any of our facial exfoliator and scrubs.
Look for skin care that does not clog your pores and helps dissolves dead skin cells. AHA and BHA can be effectively used when it comes to treating blackheads. Skin care with AHA and BHA such as COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid and COSRX AHA 7 Whitehead Power Liquid help break down blackheads within pores and dissolve dead skin cells, dirt, impurities and unblock pores.
It is also important to avoid using heavy and rich moisturizer that can easily clog your pores. Try using a light moisturizer that can balance your oil production. Say goodbye to your stubborn blackheads with more of our selection below.
Oiliness
When your skin produces too much oil, it can look greasy and shiny, and may lead to other skin concerns such as clogged pores and acne. This can be caused by using harsh products or products that clog your pores, over-exfoliation, which causes your skin to produce more oil.
How to treat it?
Washing your face thoroughly and regularly can reduce the amount of oil on the skin. Avoid using oil-based products or ones that consist alcohol. Gentle cleanser such as KLAIRS Rich Moist Foaming Cleanser and BY WISHTREND Green Tea & Enzyme Powder Wash to cleanse away impurities while controlling shine, leaving skin clean and refreshed.
Add in skin care that is formulated with oily-skin loving ingredients such as Green Tea, can effectively control oil production while balancing oil and water level with a refreshing feeling. ISNTREE Green Tea Fresh Toner BEYOND Deep Green Tea Toner is a great option for people with oily skin, as it clears out impurities and excess sebum while calming down irritated skin. Witch hazel is also another star-ingredient in treating excessive oil production. Just like SOME BY MI AHA BHA PHA 30 Days Miracle Toner, not only does it helps shine and sebum production, it also gives anti-inflammatory properties to skin that prevents breakouts.
Even though excessive oil can be troublesome, it can be controlled if you maintain a good balance between oil and your natural moisture. Check out more of our picks for this skin concern below.

Enlarged Pores
Pores become enlarged due to acne, excess oil production, sun damage or comedogenic makeup.
How to treat it?
Assess your skin care and makeup products. The main reason that causes enlarged pores is the products that you use. Products that are oil-based or comeogenic can cause your skin to produce more oil which leads to clogged and enlarged pores. Over-usage of products, especially scrubs and exfoliators can also damage and irritate your skin. Assess your products and skin care routine and make sure to change up products that may cause this skin concern.
While preventing further formation of enlarged pores, add in skin care that are tailored to shrink the sizes of your pores. COSRX Two In One Poreless Power Liquid are some of the best ones that minimize large pores while controlling and balancing oil production.
