Breakout-Prone Skin Routine

A skincare routine for breakout-prone skin

A good skincare routine for breakout-prone skin stays simple and consistent. This one pairs Korean brands Medicube and Some By Mi with S.O.S, a koréos Original. After cleansing, use the Medicube Azelaic Acid Niacinamide Clear Toner. Azelaic acid and niacinamide help purify skin, calm the look of redness and smooth uneven-looking texture. Then apply the Some By Mi Yuja Niacin Anti-Blemish Serum, with niacinamide and vitamin C to care for the look of dark spots and dullness while it hydrates.

When a spot shows up, reach for S.O.S Regular - Stick on Spots. These transparent hydrocolloid patches cover the area, shield it from outside impurities and give a smoother look, day or night. Apply them to clean, dry skin before any cream so they stick well. Moisturizer and SPF still finish the routine.

Can I wear S.O.S patches during the day?

Yes. The patches are transparent and made for day or night use. Place them on bare, dry skin and keep heavy layers off the patch so it stays put.

Should I patch test acids?

We recommend it, especially with acids or sensitive skin. Test a small amount behind the ear or on the inner arm for 24-48 hours, and stop use if irritation occurs. Acids can increase sun sensitivity, so wear sunscreen daily.

Can I return a product that did not suit me?

Unopened, unused items in their original sealed packaging can be returned within 30 days of delivery. Opened products cannot be returned unless they arrived damaged, defective or incorrect.
