Korean Serums for Acne-Prone Skin
Serums carry the highest concentration of actives in a Korean routine, so they are where the treatment happens. Pick one by the problem you want it to solve and check the actives, not the claims on the front.
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 serums whose brands recommend them for acne-prone skin.
