Dear Acne, LET’S BREAK UP.

Dear Acne,
There’s something I have to tell you…
I’ve laughed with you, cried with you… well, mostly cried… and I just can’t do it anymore.
It’s not you, it’s me.
Oh, wait.
No, it’s you. It’s all you.
Let’s break up.

XOXO,
Cupidrop

That’s right, people. It’s official. We are breaking up with acne. For good. We are not going back. And let me tell you, it feels AMAZING. After all, most relationship experts say if your “lover” doesn’t add anything substantial to your life, don’t bother. So we are stepping away. And you should, too!

So to help you with this breakup, we’re going to share some of our top acne-care products with you. Be diligent, stay strong, and don’t give in until that acne is out of your life for good!

Every skincare routine starts with cleansing so let’s start here. Cosrx AC Collection Calming Foam Cleanser contains natural BHA that dissolves sebum and moisturizes while Salicylic Acid unclogs pores. And we got some trusty natural tea tree leaf oil that disinfects and calms acne. It’s a good first step to take to cleanse your pores before applying other skincare products.

Here’s our star acne-killer: Cosrx Acne Pimple Master Patch consists of thin hydrocolloid patches of varying sizes that adhere to the skin. It seals around the acne to protect it from bacteria and dirt. And it magically (and I do not use this word lightly, but seriously, it’s MAGIC) absorbs all the exudation overnight. No more popping and scarring; this patch will clean up that pimple with no risk of an infection.

Another TOP item in Korea—so popular, it’s being called a “Life-Item” (인생템), which essentially means a “Must-Have” because your life depends on it (not really, but you get my point). Cosrx One Step Pimple Clear Pad comes soaked in natural BHA from White Willow Water that effectively reduces sebum and the size of pimples. The ingredient penetrates deep into the skin to deliver nutrients and prevent future breakouts.

My current Go-To and your future Go-To for acne-care gel: The Plant Base AC Clear Magic Gel contains 78.54% of Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract, Tea Tree Oil, and Ulmus Davidiana Root help prevent blemish buildup by reducing excess sebum production and exfoliating dead skin cells.

Lapalette Beauty Calming Green Spot Solution treats persistent acne while you sleep. Its double-layered formula effectively treats stubborn blemishes while lightly exfoliating the skin and soothing irritation.
