CLEANSING FOAMS
If you're looking for an acne fighting cleanser that can get the job done, why not choose something that literally has "acne solution" in its title? This foaming cleanser is perfect for fighting your acne and simultaneously soothing your skin. Green Tea Extracts help cleanse pores and keep your face balanced and clean. It has a nice subtle medicinal scent that is not overpowering. Also, there's an English translation of the ingredients on the back of the bottle. We definitely recommend this blemish-buster as a great first step for your routine.
Honestly, the marketing on this product pretty much validates all the glory this product can do for your acne. Volcanic rock has pores, and our faces have many MANYa pores. This product cleans out all of your open pores, closes them nice and tight, and also fights acne better than Muhammed Ali. It has tiny granules that also act as an exfoliant for your skin. Also, a little goes a long way with this product since you only need a tiny tear drop to lather into your skin. We highly recommend this product for those who are trying to fight acne and keep it away.
Finally, a first step cleanser that beats the crap out of acne! This product is EXCELLENT for getting rid of unwanted discolorations and even popped pimples. The product has a really high pH, so make sure you use a balancing toner right after you cleanse. However, the effects are worth it since it fights acne and keeps it from coming back. The formula also has tiny beads that act as an exfoliator to get rid of any excess sebum and dead skin cells. We highly recommend this product if you need some serious acne care
CLEANSING OILS
Want a little extra kick to your facial cleansing routine? Add egg whites! No, I'm not saying go into your refrigerator and crack open some eggs and rub it on your face. This specially formulated cleansing oil actually uses egg whites as a vitamin enhancer for your skin. The egg whites contain albumin and healthy amino acids that help keep your skins consistency healthy and your pores clean. Also, the product cleans off your makeup really well and reduces the appearance of acne and redness.
Not only does this cleansing oil give you a great clean after a long day at the office, but it also gets your pores sebum and gunk free (yeah i know its gross, but it's great!). However, if you tend to have sensitive skin, beware. This product tends to burn a bit when applied, but the aftermath is worth it. This product uses grape seed oil, which is an excellent emollient for you skin. it also has vitamin E to protect and nourish your skin while cleaning out any acne causing bacteria in your pores. Check it out and see for yourself!
TONERS
This product definitely caught my eye because of its massive claim of 10 functions in one. Anything that can do 10 in 1 product sounds pretty fantastic. Well, this product lives up to its name. It cleanses any excess residue you may have missed during the first double cleansing steps in your K Beauty routine and also tightens up your pores, Many times, I find extra residue and gunk on the cotton swab this product picks up. It's the perfect toner for your skin care routine and keeps your acne levels very low and your skin very happy!
If you're a fan of Korean beauty products, you'll know that Koreans are obsessed with keeping all of their products sanitary.

The application comes in a pump so you get the same amount of product each time you use it. Overall, this is an excellent blemish fighting essence!
