With the arrival of autumn, marked by fallen leaves and refreshing breezes, it’s an ideal moment to update your skincare routine for the cooler months! My skin tends to be acne-prone and oily combination, which means dealing with greasy and shiny patches is unavoidable, even when temperatures drop.
Given this, I have selected three K-Beauty products to transition my skincare regimen from summer to fall: the I’m from Mugwort Gel Cleanser, SKINFOOD Carrot Carotene Calming Water Pad, and SKIN 1004 Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Enrich Cream.
Initially attracted to the autumnal aesthetic of these products, I’m pleased to discover that they all contain essential ingredients to help balance moisture and oil levels in my skin, improving its condition in the brisk weather. Keep reading to find out how they performed on my skin after two weeks of testing!
For my cleansing step, I turned to the I’m from Mugwort Gel Cleanser, which effectively keeps my skin clear without causing dryness. This gel cleanser adeptly removes impurities, excess dirt, and sebum while ensuring pore clarity. The nourishing formula is infused with 60% mugwort extract from Ganghwa to harness its anti-inflammatory benefits.
Additional active ingredients include melia azadirachta flower extract and turmeric root extract, aimed at reducing enlarged pores, redness, and acne scars for clearer, plump skin. The dermatologically tested formula is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin.
Overall, the cleanser thoroughly cleansed my skin, leaving no tightness or discomfort. Its bouncy gel-like texture creates an appealing lather when mixed with lukewarm water and produces a gentle light green hue from its natural ingredients. Plus, the pleasant natural fragrance adds a calming touch.
After cleansing, I applied the SKINFOOD Carrot Carotene Calming Water Pad, which is drenched in carrot extract and carrot seed oil, to further nourish and rejuvenate my skin. Rich in antioxidants like beta-carotene, this toner pad fortifies the skin’s defense against free radicals. It contains hydrating ingredients such as glycerin, beta-glucan, and sodium hyaluronate, leaving the skin feeling plump and supple. Other key ingredients include lavender oil, artemisia oil, olive oil, and orange peel oil, which provide additional nourishment and soothing benefits.
The embossed cotton pad with a soft waffle texture glides smoothly over my skin for a gentle toning experience without irritation. It’s suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and dry skin.
The Carrot Carotene Calming Water Pads have become a valuable addition to my skincare routine, instantly replenishing moisture without any irritation. I was pleasantly surprised by how saturated the pads were, delivering hydration to my skin without any sticky or greasy feeling. I recommend patting the excess essence into the skin for optimal absorption of the nourishing properties!
To finalize my fall skincare routine, I selected SKIN 1004’s Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Enrich Cream, featuring the soothing action of centella asiatica extract. This powerful ingredient is also renowned for its ability to repair compromised skin barriers, making it perfect for addressing common skin issues such as acne and irritation from the cool weather.
Enhanced with probiotic ingredients like lactobacillus, the cream fortifies the skin barrier, refines texture, and reduces hyperpigmentation. The inclusion of macadamia seed oil and moringa oleifera seed oil provides nourishment, revitalization, and soothing properties to the skin. This fragrance-free formula is suitable for a variety of skin types, including sensitive skin.
After using the Probio-Cica Enrich Cream for two weeks, I was thrilled to observe the gradual lightening of my dark spots and acne scars. Its smooth consistency glides on easily and absorbs swiftly without leaving any sticky or greasy residue. The lightweight formula not only delivered essential moisture to my skin but also provided calming benefits—truly essential during the cooler season.
Final Thoughts
Having used the I’m from Mugwort Gel Cleanser, SKINFOOD Carrot Carotene Calming Water Pad, and SKIN 1004 Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Enrich Cream for two weeks, I am delighted to report visible improvements in my acne-prone, oily combination skin. The standout product for me is the Mugwort Gel Cleanser, which kept my acne at bay by cleansing without causing tightness or excessive oiliness. Additionally, the Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Enrich Cream played a key role in reducing my dark spots and acne marks. I’m confident that if I maintain this autumn-appropriate skincare routine, my skin will continue to thrive throughout the season.
Moreover, my transitional skincare regimen allows for adjustments as the weather fluctuates; I can easily incorporate serums for added nourishment on chillier days, or switch to a lighter emulsion moisturizer if it warms up. Regardless of the modifications I make, this skincare routine ensures my skin remains nourished and well taken care of as we move through the fall!
