Korean Cleansers for Acne-Prone Skin
The second step of a Korean double cleanse, after an oil cleanser. A good one leaves skin clean without feeling tight; low-pH gels and gentle amino-acid foams are the usual picks.
For acne-prone skin, look for non-comedogenic textures and actives that keep pores clear, such as BHA, azelaic acid and niacinamide. These are the cleansers whose brands recommend them for acne-prone skin.
