In the magnifying mirror, even completely normal pores suddenly appear huge. You don’t have to “close it” or get your skin poreless. If shine and uneven skin texture bother you, start with a routine that cleans without feeling tight afterwards.

Morning: start gently, care lightly

1. Cleanse: If the skin feels oily when you get up, spread some ETUDE Soon Jung pH 5.5 Foam Cleanser with water and your fingertips. Rinse lukewarm. If it is rather dry, water alone may be enough.
2. Moisture: The ETUDE Soonjung Hydro Barrier Cream combines glycerin with panthenol and madecassoside. A thin layer is a nice start if you want nourishment but not a heavy cream feel.
3. Sunscreen: Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Aqua-Fresh SPF 50+ PA++++ is a lightweight finishing option. Apply sunscreen generously as the final step. Renew outside approximately every two hours and after sweating, swimming or drying off. Shade and clothing are part of it.

In the evening: cleanse, then moisturize

Remove sunscreen and make-up thoroughly, but without brushing or rubbing. Two cleaners are only helpful if one does not remove the residue sufficiently. We explain when double cleansing makes sense . After that, your moisturizer is enough.

If you would like to add a serum step later, the Purito Wonder Releaf Centella Serum Unscented is an option: It contains, among other things, niacinamide, glycerin and panthenol. Apply it before the cream. First try out a new product on a small scale and introduce it individually – this makes it easier for you to see whether it suits you.

What you can adapt for yourself

Your cheeks are tense while your nose shines? Cream the dry areas a little more generously instead of degreasing the entire face more. For true blackheads, a BHA product can be a later supplement. Daily exfoliation is not automatically part of this basic routine. You can read more about this in our article about pores, sebum threads and blackheads .

For a creamier care feeling, you can get to know the Pyunkang Yul Moisture Cream . If you are torn between this and the richer Nutrition Cream, the direct comparison of the two Pyunkang Yul creams will help you make your choice.
