Yeah the AC Clinic line was pretty useless for me as well, except for the foam cleanser.

Other products that worked better
Innisfree Bija Anti-Trouble Line Essence R
Innisfree Soybean Energy Essence (Light)
Innisfree Super Volcanic Clay Mask

But what I'd recommend the most for breakout prone skin is SK-II (The Facial Treatment Essence, a Japanese brand) The Innisfree Soybean Energy Essence is a less potent dupe of this :)

I haven't tried any of their skincare items, just one time I had a sample of their tomato mask, it was pretty average for me.

Their makeup, though, I have tried and they're great value, crystal blushers, delight tints, concealers.

I reccomend the 'blooming fit' version of the Etude House 'Precious Mineral BB creams line. It has subtle and lovely floral scent and applies smoothly, oxidises looking natural on your skin town and makes your skin look bright,dewy, flawless and smooth. The 'Bright Fit' version is really good too but has a glossy and shiny look that is popular in Korea and some people might not like it or interpret it as your skin being oily. It makes your skin very bright and glowing looking and doesn't really have a scent like the 'blooming fit' version. I love them both though and would reccomend if you are looking for a good and easy to apply BB cream~♡

Hi everyone I would like to know your suggestions for acne treatment and removing acne scars, so far I have tried the etude house ac clinic daily gel lotion, I had 5 bottles of these but my acne scars are still visible. Can anyone recommend better. Thanks.

Apparently (I haven't tried them personally but I think I will, I have read a bit about them) snail creams and snail products are reccomeneded for acne scars and marks as they have repairing qualities..nearly every Korean Brand (as it has become really popular in Korea) has snail products..I don't know which are good or not but I will check it out. Otherwise I would reccomend pure or something with vitamin E oil as it is great for that purpose(:
I have heard a product called 'pink powder' which contains calomine lotion is really good for removing redness and size of pimples and dries them out.

So apparently I live near a few very cool Korean Skincare stores - The Face Shop, Tony Moly and The Amore Pacific!! I'm going to have to try some of these places out.


anyone know if CosRx is available in the US?

Absolutely LOVE korean makeup!! In fact...I just bought an eyeshadow from The Faceshop earlier!

I have a ton of serums, essences, face creams, random face products on rotation but theres only a few that I really like.
-Etude House wonderpore toner: cleans all the leftover dirt and grime so well after face washing that I even stopped getting the huge deep pimples that pop up after my period! I got one a zit as soon as I changed my routine and started using another rose witch hazel in the am -.-
Innisfree green tea seed serum: makes my skin look healthy
The Face Shop core seed essence: this really makes my skin soft and smooth after I put it on....
Mizon snail cream: not sure if it does make my skin look younger but it is pretty moisturizing...
Laneige water sleeping mask: I use it once or twice a week and it keeps my skin moisturized.
Skinfood black sugar scrub: if you scrub with your face semi dry...and leave it on for like 15 minutes you will get smooth baby skin...everyone I've recommended it to has given it good reviews.
Etude house nymph aura volumer: my holy grail part 1- I use this in combination with my bb cream for the shiny, dewy skin look...and when I do use it, I get a lot of compliments on how my skin looks good...
Holika holika petite clearing BB cream: holy grail #2...OMG this oxidizes sooo nicely on my skin and looks super natural!
Etude house grapefruit jelly blush: LOVE the peachy pink healthy glow it gives you ;)

That is so helpful, thank you! Any Korean creams or serums you would recommend for fine lines or wrinkles? Or skin plumping? Thanks!
