Before and after my skin

I've had acne-prone skin since 2016, with breakouts frequently appearing and disappearing. By 2019, my skin had become clearer

Since 2022, my skin has been much better, with no more breakouts. If a pimple does appear, using skincare quickly calms it down, and the scars fade quickly

My face once experienced severe acne, and the scars were very difficult to remove. For a year, my skin was truly damaged, but I eventually found the right skincare. The key is to always use basic skincare every day

Sunscreen

acne-prone skin still needs sunscreen to protect itself from the harmful effects of the sun. UV rays can increase oil production, clog pores, and slow down the acne healing process

The texture is smooth and lightweight, making it super easy to apply. It never feels greasy or heavy, which is a big win for me. Plus, it doubles as a perfect base for makeup, so I can skip a few steps in my morning routine.
