Breakouts Routine

Calmer, clearer-looking skin. This is the routine built to get you there. Clearer-looking skin doesn't come from scrubbing harder. It comes from skin that is calm, comfortable and protected every day, with one well-chosen active doing the targeted work. When the redness settles, spots and the marks they leave have a chance to fade from view. Most of us never get there because breakouts make us panic. A scrub here, a stronger acid there, three new things in one week. Skin gets more irritated, more red and more reactive, and the cycle starts again. The Breakouts Routine breaks that cycle. It is a Korean skincare routine for stubborn, recurring breakouts and red, inflamed-looking spots, with seven Korean products and Acropass spot patches, sequenced morning and evening. The goal: calmer, clearer-looking skin, with less visible redness and fewer leftover marks over timeYour routine: a double cleanse at night, one targeted serum introduced slowly, calming layers and daily SPFInside: 7 Korean products plus Acropass Trouble Cure spot patchesHow calmer, clearer-looking skin is builtEvery product in the box does one of three jobs. Calm first. A heartleaf toner, a centella ampoule and a 5-Cica gel-cream keep skin comfortable and help the look of redness settle, so it can tolerate the active.One targeted active. A 10% azelaic acid serum for the look of blemishes, redness and post-blemish marks, introduced slowly in the evenings.Clean and protect. A double cleanse at night that removes SPF without stripping, and SPF50+ every morning, because sun makes leftover marks look darker.What it asks of youUse it morning and evening. Start the azelaic acid on 2 to 3 nights a week, not every night. Never skip SPF in the morning. And when a spot appears, reach for a patch instead of your fingers. Give it that consistency and time, and calmer, clearer-looking skin becomes a realistic goal. Your morningCleanse: Arencia Fresh Green Rice Mochi Cleanser (120 g).

On an active spot, on clean, dry skin, for at least two hours.How they work together: the double cleanse clears the way, the toner and centella keep skin calm enough for the azelaic acid, the gel-cream hydrates without weight, and SPF protects the marks from darkening. Your first weeks Start the calming steps, the double cleanse and SPF from day one. Bring in the azelaic acid serum on 2 to 3 nights a week, and build up only as your skin allows. Azelaic acid is gentle, but it is still an active: a mild tingle can happen at first, so go slower if it lingers. What to expect Skin should feel calmer and more comfortable as the routine settles in. Breakouts, redness and leftover marks change gradually, and depend on steady use and daily SPF. Everyone's skin moves at its own pace. Is this your routine? It was put together for: Stubborn, recurring breakoutsClogged pores and congestionRed, inflamed-looking spotsSkin that reacts to harsh activesBreakouts that leave dark or red marksIt's probably not the one for you if: Your skin is very dry or peeling: start with the Barrier Repair Routine insteadYou have active dermatitis or eczemaYou use strong prescription retinoids: check with your prescriber firstYou are pregnant or breastfeeding: ask your doctor or pharmacist before using azelaic acidYou react to tea tree: the azelaic acid serum and the Acropass prep wipes contain itYou avoid fragrance or essential oils: the Mochi cleanser contains fragrance and the cleansing oil contains essential oilsYou have a nut allergy: the Mochi cleanser contains sweet almond seed mealYour main concern is deeper pigmentation rather than breakouts: the Dark Spot Fading Routine targets dark marks with TXA, niacinamide and retinalIf this isn't the right routine for your skin, we'd rather point you to the one that is. What's not included, by design No strong exfoliating acids, harsh scrubs or retinoids. The only polish is the fine grains in the Mochi cleanser. This routine is designed for inflamed, sensitive breakouts, where too much exfoliation makes things worse. One targeted active, plenty of calm, and SPF every morning. Patch test and care Patch test new products for 24 hours before first use. If irritation occurs, stop the azelaic acid for a while and carry on with your calming steps. If it continues, stop using the products and seek advice.
