Routine Overview

Kbeauty Skincare Routine for Acne and Breakouts- Normal Skin

This routine is built for normal skin that gets breakouts and wants clearer pores, fewer active pimples, and faster recovery without over-drying. The focus is simple and effective: cleanse without stripping, calm and balance with a soothing toner, treat breakouts with an azelaic-based serum (great for acne + redness + post-acne traces), maintain a steady barrier with a lightweight soothing cream, and use daily sunscreen to prevent post-acne marks from getting darker.

What results to expect (realistic):

• 7-14 days: less redness around active spots, calmer-looking skin, fewer “new pimples” popping up.
• 3-6 weeks: shorter breakout cycles, fewer clogged pores, smoother overall texture.
• 8-12 weeks: more stable skin with fewer flare-ups (consistency + sunscreen = the boring secret).

The 5 Products (Luxiface catalogue)

1) Cleanser: [Anua] Heartleaf Succinic Moisture Cleansing Foam 150ml

Why it fits acne on normal skin: Cleanses pore buildup and excess sebum without that tight “I stripped my face” feeling, so breakouts calm down instead of cycling.

• Helps remove sebum and congestion triggers.
• Supports clearer-looking pores without harshness.
• Preps skin so treatment absorbs evenly.

2) Toner: [Anua] Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner 250ml

Why it fits: Breakouts heal faster when inflammation is controlled. This toner keeps skin calm and comfortably hydrated so you can stay consistent with treatment.

• Soothes visible redness during breakouts.
• Light hydration helps prevent dehydration-triggered oil rebound.
• Creates a balanced base for the serum step.

3) Treatment Serum: [Anua] Azelaic Acid 10 Hyaluron Redness Soothing Serum 30ml

Why this is a strong replacement: Azelaic acid is excellent for acne-prone skin because it helps reduce the look of breakouts and redness while also supporting clearer tone from post-acne traces. This one is positioned as lightweight, non-greasy, and non-comedogenic-tested, so it plays nicely in an everyday routine.

• Helps calm acne-prone skin and reduce the look of redness.
• Supports clearer-looking texture and fewer “repeat” breakouts.
• Helps reduce the look of post-acne traces over time, without heavy layering.

Smart pacing (important): Start with 1-2 drops, 2-3 nights/week for week 1. If comfortable, increase to daily, then AM + PM if needed.

4) Moisturizer: [Dr.G] Red Blemish Clear Soothing Cream 70ml

Why acne routines still need moisturizer: When the barrier is supported, skin is less reactive and breakouts tend to look less angry and heal faster.

• Light gel-cream texture hydrates without feeling heavy.
• Soothing support helps reduce visible redness around breakouts.
• Helps you stay consistent by reducing irritation risk.

5) Sunscreen (AM only): [Anua] Heartleaf Silky Moisture Sunscreen 50ml

Why this is essential: UV can worsen inflammation and darken post-acne marks. Daily sunscreen keeps your “acne recovery” from turning into “acne souvenirs.”

• Helps prevent post-acne marks from deepening.
• Comfortable daily wear supports consistency.
• Protects skin while you treat active breakouts.
