Hi everyone! I’ve been on quite the journey with cystic acne and have learned a lot about skincare, especially from Korean brands. Living in NYC gives us fantastic access to some amazing Korean skincare stores that cater specifically to oily and acne-prone skin, and I wanted to share some insights.
Koreatown is one of my go-to spots for shopping. There are several stores there with friendly staff who really understand the challenges we face with oily skin. They often recommend lightweight, non-comedogenic products that won’t clog pores. Personally, I’ve had great results with products featuring ingredients like salicylic acid, tea tree oil, and niacinamide. If you have any favorite brands or products, I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Also, testing products before buying is crucial. Many stores in NYC offer samples or testers, allowing you to see how your skin responds without making a commitment. Finding the right fit is so important! What products or stores have you discovered that have made a positive impact on your skincare routine? Let’s share our experiences!
