I used to have very red and sore flaky skin around my forehead and pimple clusters on my cheeks and chin area. I have combination, sensitive and acne prone skin (especially hormonal acne). These products I used have generally improved my skin texture and controlled my acne really well.

Currently looking into expanding and experimenting new skincare products to try out and hopefully fade more of my acne scars :)

Face Serum and Ampoule

1. Products I've used before
2. Products I'm using
3. Products I'm interested to try

I've tried quite a few different products from this category. Mainly because I wasn't able to find that one serum to fade my acne scars and control acne growth.

Garnier Bright Complete Anti Acne Serum with Niacinamide

Bright Complete Anti Acne Serum with Niacinamide

Very first serum I tried. Saw advertisements on how this works for acne-prone skin. Oh boy I was cheated. It caused me to breakout so bad.

The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil

Initially my acne growth subsided after the first few use, but then irritations start to occur and triggered more pimples to grow...

Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Water Essence

Hyaluronic Acid Water Essence

I bought this serum when I was in Korea, together with the Hyaluronic acid toner and Aqua Gel cream. I feel that this is a beginner friendly serum. It is gentle and hydrates my skin really well. But it kinda didn't do anything more

COSRX AC Collection Blemish Spot Clearing Serum

AC Collection Blemish Spot Clearing Serum

This product neither helps nor irritates my skin. Didn't re-purchase

Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum: Propolis + Niacinamide

Beauty of Joseon

Glow Serum: Propolis + Niacinamide

Too sticky for my liking...... The consistency is too thick and it creates an oily sheen on my face. Didn't control my acne or helped my scars

COSRX The Vitamin C 23 Serum

The Vitamin C 23 Serum

My first Vitamin C serum. Bought this in Malaysia without checking the ingredients. Saw quite a few bad reviews on this product. But was surprised that this product loves my skin.

iUNIK Tea Tree Relief Serum

Tea Tree Relief Serum

Would like to love this... but it broke me out after 1 week of use :(

COSRX The Niacinamide 15 Serum

The Niacinamide 15 Serum

The only regret was abandoning this serum. When I contacted 2nd covid, the texture of my skin changed abruptly and acne went out of control. Fortunately, I have a bit of serum left. I used it and my skin is finally under control.

SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule

Madagascar Centella Ampoule

It faded my most of my acne scars in 1 week of use. Lightweight and no irritations.

Isntree Hyper Vitamin C 23 Serum

Hyper Vitamin C 23 Serum

As a big fan of Isntree products, I have to give their Vitamin C a go. It gave me slight rash reactions at the beginning but after awhile my skin got used to it. Pretty much my new Vit C serum. Especially it doesn't contain any alcohol.

Isntree Hyper Retinol EX 1.0 Serum

Hyper Retinol EX 1.0 Serum

Similar to the AHA Whitehead power liquid, this retinol will trigger potential pimples to grow larger in size.

Beplain Cicaterol Ampoule

Cicaterol Ampoule

Bought this ampoule without thinking much and struggled on how should I fit it into my routine. I paired it with the Isntree Vitamin C in the morning... and... it saved the texture of my skin and faded even more stubborn acne scars.

innisfree Vita C Green Tea Enzyme Dark Spot Toning Serum

Vita C Green Tea Enzyme Dark Spot Toning Serum

Want to try this serum but its pretty expensive T_T
