Looking for soothing serums that won’t irritate acne-prone skin?

These gentle picks might be just what your routine needs!

1. The Ordinary Aloe 2% + NAG 2%

This ultra-light serum feels like a splash of water—quick-absorbing, non-sticky, and ideal for oily or combination skin. It’s more effective for fading acne marks and dark spots than treating breakouts directly, but it helps calm inflammation.

3. My Lunik Propolis Serum

Thicker in consistency but still lightweight, this serum excels at calming redness and painful breakouts. It delivers hydration and reduces inflammation, making it a great option when your skin barrier needs extra care.

2. Bulgarian Rose Blemish Care Up Serum

Smelling like freshly picked roses, this gel-textured serum is hydrating, soothing, and brightening. It’s well-loved in Korea and great for both preventing and treating acne. With a large bottle and gentle formula, it’s a top pick for long-term use.

If your skin is easily irritated or you’re in a phase where actives are too harsh, these calming serums offer a skin-friendly alternative. Give them a try for a balanced and gentle approach to acne care!
