A skin-care routine for clear, bump-free skin
Photo-Illustration: by Stevie Remsberg Charlotte Cho is a Korean skin-care expert. A California native, Cho became immersed in the world of K-Beauty after moving to the South Korea after college to work for Samsung. Inspired by her experiences, four years later, she and her husband, David, founded Soko Glam. Throughout the years with trial and error and knowledge, Cho has carefully honed her routine to effectively treat her hormonal acne and hyperpigmentation.
Cleansers I began double-cleansing when I was 22 and just discovered the world of Korean skin care after moving to Seoul from Southern California. I never used to think about cleaning my skin regularly, let alone cleaning it twice, two times a day! However, once I learned that oil cleansers effectively deep-clean pores, remove excess sebum and acne-causing bacteria, I was sold.
Treatment This step is crucial for when I’m dealing with a hormonal acne breakout. If I have new painful, cystic pimples, I actually put an acne treatment on before toner so it can directly treat it. I open a packet of the Dr. Oracle A-Thera Tea Tree Peeling Sticks and apply the unique stick soaked in a 6 percent AHA and BHA solution, directly onto my problem areas. It’s shaped like a huge cotton swab and allows me to precisely target any nooks and crannies.
DR ORACLE A-Thera Toner $32 at Soko Glam Buy Spot Treatment To double-treat my cystic acne, in addition to the treatment sticks above, I will use the COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patch. They are acne stickers that come in three different sizes and are super affordable at $5 a packet, with 24 patches. When I have inflamed pimples, I put the patches on them to draw out impurities.
DR ORACLE A-Thera Emulsion $34 at Soko Glam Buy Moisturizer For my daily moisturizer, I use the Dr. Oracle A-Thera Cream. This moisturizer soothes and nourishes my inflamed skin. It’s mineral-rich and contains Celtic mineral water, to help fortify skin barrier, while bamboo extract locks in moisture and provides anti-aging benefits by boosting collagen production. This is my favorite moisturizer for when I’m dealing with acne, because it’s calming.
