The goal is to clear acne while protecting and repairing the barrier, since over-drying usually leads to more irritation, slower healing, and more breakouts. You get a gentle low-pH cleanser, a calming toner for oil-moisture balance, an azelaic-acid treatment serum (great for breakouts + redness + post-acne traces), a barrier-repair moisturizer to reduce flaking and sensitivity, and a soothing sunscreen to prevent post-acne marks from getting darker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat results to expect (realistic):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e7-14 days:\u003c\/strong\u003e less redness and irritation around active spots, reduced tightness and flaking, calmer skin overall.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3-6 weeks:\u003c\/strong\u003e fewer new breakouts, faster recovery of pimples, smoother texture (especially around clogged areas).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8-12 weeks:\u003c\/strong\u003e more stable skin with fewer flare-ups and less noticeable post-acne marks (daily sunscreen is the deciding factor).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe 5 Products (Luxiface catalogue)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e1) Cleanser: [Etude House] SoonJung pH 6.5 Whip Cleanser 250ml\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy it fits dry acne:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry acne-prone skin needs cleansing that removes buildup without stripping.
