The autumn breeze is rustling and the leaves are falling, making it the perfect time to update your skincare routine for the colder months! I have combination, oily, acne-prone skin, so greasiness and shine are inevitable even in cool, dry weather.
In view of this, I picked three K-Beauty products to change my skin care routine from summer to autumn: I’m from’s Mugwort Gel Cleanser, SKINFOOD’s Carotene Calming Water Pad and SKIN 1004 of Madagascar Centella Asiatic Moisturizing Cream.
While I was initially drawn to these three products’ attractive visual packaging that smells of fall, I was pleased to discover that they all contain key ingredients that balance skin’s oil and moisture levels, improving them during colder weather. The overall condition of the skin. Read on to see how they performed after two weeks of testing on my skin!
I am from – Mugwort Gel Cleanser
When cleansing, I use I’m from’s Mugwort Gel Cleanser to keep my skin fresh and not dry. This gel cleanser effectively removes dirt, impurities and excess sebum from the skin while keeping pores clear. The nourishing formula is enriched with 60% mugwort extract derived from Ganghua, which has anti-inflammatory properties.
Other active ingredients include neem flower extract and turmeric root extract, which reduce enlarged pores, redness and acne scars, leaving skin clear and plump. The formula is dermatologically tested and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin.
Overall, this cleanser left my skin thoroughly cleansed without any tightness or discomfort. The gel-textured formula lathers well when warm water is added. Its light green color comes from the natural ingredients in the formula. The cleanser has a pleasant natural scent that is soothing.
SKINFOOD – Carotene Calming Water Pad
After cleansing, I use SKINFOOD’s Carotene Calming Water Pads, which are soaked in carrot extract and carrot seed oil to further promote skin health and rejuvenation. This cotton pad is rich in antioxidants such as beta-carotene, which can strengthen the skin’s protective barrier and help the skin resist free radical damage. The cotton pad contains nourishing and moisturizing ingredients such as glycerin, beta-glucan and sodium hyaluronate to make skin plump and soft. Other active ingredients include lavender oil, mugwort oil, olive fruit oil and orange peel oil, which nourish and soothe the skin.
The embossed cotton pad has a soft, waffle texture that glides over skin with minimal friction for a gentle, non-irritating toning experience. Suitable for all skin types including sensitive and dry skin.
The Carotene Calming Water Cotton Pad is a great addition to my skincare routine because it instantly replenishes moisture in the skin without causing any irritation. I was impressed that the cotton pads were completely soaked with product and they hydrated my skin without feeling sticky. I recommend dabbing the remaining serum onto your skin to help your skin absorb all the nourishing ingredients!
SKIN 1004 – Madagascar Centella Asiatic Moisturizing Cream
To complete my transitional weather skin care regimen, I chose SKIN 1004’s Madagascar Centella Asiatica “Centella Asiatica Enriching Essence Cream” infused with Centella asiatica extract. Centella asiatica extract also has other effects, such as repairing damaged skin barrier. This exciting ingredient is perfect for use in skin care routines to address skin concerns like acne or skin irritations caused by cooler weather.
This cream is combined with probiotic ingredients such as Lactobacilli to strengthen the skin barrier, soften skin and reduce pigmentation. Macadamia nut seed oil and moringa seed oil nourish, revitalize and soothe skin. The fragrance-free formula is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
After using Probio Cica Enrich Cream for two weeks, I was delighted to find that my dark spots and acne scars were gradually fading. The cream’s creamy texture spreads effortlessly onto the skin, absorbs quickly, and leaves no sticky or greasy residue. The lightweight formula not only provides my skin with much-needed moisture but also provides a soothing treatment, which is very beneficial in the cooler weather.
