UNDERSTANDING ACNE

Acne can be a frustrating journey, but it doesn’t have to be a permanent one. Understanding the why behind your breakouts is the first step toward reclaiming your glow.

Here is everything you need to know about what causes acne, how to treat it using professional Korean skincare, and how to prevent it from coming back.

Understanding the "Why": What Causes Acne?

Acne isn't just one thing—it’s usually a "perfect storm" of four main factors working together:

1.     Excess Oil (Sebum): Hormones or genetics signal your glands to overproduce oil.

2.     Clogged Pores: Dead skin cells don't shed properly, mixing with oil to create a "plug."

3.     Bacteria: A specific bacteria called C. acnes thrives in these oxygen-free, oil-rich plugs.

4.     Inflammation: Your body tries to fight the bacteria, resulting in the redness, swelling, and pain we recognize as a pimple.

The Treatment Plan: Professional Solutions

When home remedies aren't enough, it's time to bring in the "big guns." Korean clinical skincare focuses on treating acne while preserving the skin barrier, so you don't end up with dry, flaky, irritated skin.

The Gold Standard Products for Acne

We use three powerhouse brands to target every stage of the breakout:

• For Deep Congestion: Dermathod Priming Peel Booster These pads use PHA and LHA—gentler versions of traditional acids—to dissolve the "glue" holding dead skin cells together. They work deep in the pore to clear blackheads and prevent new cysts from forming.

• For Active Breakouts: KrX Clear + Prevent Line The KrX Anti-Acne Face Wash and Toner are specifically formulated with Zinc PCA and Tea Tree. They kill bacteria and regulate oil production without stripping your natural moisture.

• For Targeted Healing: Corthe Dermo Pure "Spot For Night" This is a "magic" pink sulfur treatment. Dab it on a blemish before bed; the combination of Sulfur, Salicylic Acid, and Calamine draws out impurities and shrinks the bump overnight.

• For Post-Acne Redness: Corthe First Aid Lotion Acne often leaves behind red marks (PIE). This lotion uses botanical extracts to calm the skin and speed up the repair process once the active pimple is gone.

Prevention: How to Stay Clear

• Don't Over-Strip: If you use harsh, drying products, your skin will panic and produce more oil. Always follow treatment with a lightweight hydrator like Corthe Moisture RX Recharging Gel.

• Sunscreen is Vital: Acne treatments can make skin sensitive. Use KrX Sunblocker SPF 50+ to prevent your acne scars from turning into permanent dark spots.

• Professional Maintenance: Sometimes you need a professional to perform safe extractions and deep-pore disinfection.
