If you clicked because of the thumbnail, you came to the right place. In this video I’m sharing the updated “glass skin” routine I lean on when my skin is freaking out—like after I purged from trying a bunch of random products I got at a Korean Expo. I have oily, acne-prone, sensitive skin (hormonal acne too), so I’m not here to pretend every trendy K-beauty product works for everyone. I’m picky, I look up ingredients, and I don’t fall for clean-marketing buzzwords just because the packaging is cute. I break down the viral Korean brand Parnell and why it actually helped my skin once I simplified everything. The two products I recommend the most for acne-prone sensitive skin are the Cicamanu Cotton Clear Pad and the Cicamanu Gel Cream. The pads are daily-friendly because they use LHA (a gentler BHA derivative) so you get texture help without wrecking your barrier, and they’re biodegradable which I love because I go through pads like crazy. Then the Gel Cream is my “in a rush” moisturizer—bouncy, cooling, absorbs instantly, and still hydrates without that thick, annoying finish. If you’re dealing with texture, clogged bumps, or post-purge irritation, these are the kind of formulas I look for: gentle exfoliation + barrier support + zero fluff.
