When skin is both sensitive and breakout‑prone, “more actives” usually means more flareups. In PH humidity and office AC, harsh foams + daily acids can shred the barrier, trigger sting, and still leave pores looking loud. The solution isn’t maximalism; it’s a calm‑first routine that removes daily film gently, cleanses without squeak, and delivers a short‑contact, soothing reset on acne nights. Here’s the three‑product system that settles skin so it can actually clear.

Step 1 — Zero‑Tug Makeup/Sunscreen Removal (PM, every day)

Treat removal as a barrier‑care step, not a scrub. Massage a generous amount of CURÉL Makeup Cleansing Milk 200ml over dry face for ~60 seconds—hairline, jaw, and around the nose where SPF collects—then rinse. Because CURÉL Makeup Cleansing Milk 200ml melts film without surfactant “bite,” you avoid the micro‑irritation that often masquerades as “purging.” This step alone reduces nightly redness and the tight‑then‑greasy cycle the next day.

Step 2 — Gentle Acne‑Smart Foam (AM/PM; short contact, no squeak)

Follow with a mild but thorough foam that respects your acid mantle. Work a pea‑sized amount of ORBIS Clearful Wash 120g into a soft lather in wet hands, massage for ~30–45 seconds, then rinse cool. The formulation of ORBIS Clearful Wash 120g targets acne‑causing impurities without the squeaky finish that spikes TEWL (transepidermal water loss). Use nightly after CURÉL Makeup Cleansing Milk 200ml, and in the morning if you wake oily or have a gym session.

Step 3 — Short‑Contact Soothing Acne Mask (3–4×/week)

On breakout days (or after sticky commutes), deploy a fast, soothing mask instead of layering multiple actives. Smooth on SABORINO Acne Care Mask 10 Sheets for 3–5 minutes after cleansing. The balanced, non‑greasy essence in SABORINO Acne Care Mask 10 Sheets calms visible redness, resets dehydrated‑oily zones, and reduces the urge to over‑treat with harsh spot gels. Peel off, press in the leftover essence, then finish with a simple moisturizer if you sleep under strong AC.

 

 

Two‑Week Calm‑First Cadence (PH Heat + Office AC)

• Mon: CURÉL Makeup Cleansing Milk 200ml → ORBIS Clearful Wash 120g → moisturizer.
• Tue: Cleanse as above → SABORINO Acne Care Mask 10 Sheets (3–5 min) → moisturizer.
• Wed: Calm night: cleansers only → light lotion/gel; no actives.
• Thu: Repeat Tue (mask night) if congested; otherwise repeat Mon.
• Fri: Cleanse → hydrating lotion only; let the barrier rest before the weekend.
• Weekend: If outdoors a lot, skip strong actives; rinse, hydrate, protect.

Active Users: How to Alternate Without Fallout

• Retinoid nights: Cleanser duo → skip the mask; apply your retinoid over a hydrating layer. Use the SABORINO Acne Care Mask 10 Sheets on a different night.
• Vitamin C mornings: Keep AM cleanse short with ORBIS Clearful Wash 120g; press in hydration before sunscreen.

Troubleshooting (Irritation ≠ Purge)

• Sting on water layers: Shorten foam contact; add more time between mask sessions.
• Oily by noon: You’re likely over‑stripping. Lean harder on CURÉL Makeup Cleansing Milk 200ml + short-contact ORBIS Clearful Wash 120g.
• New breakout zones: Reduce actives; keep the SABORINO Acne Care Mask 10 Sheets and hydrating layers consistent for one week.
