Overview

This is a skincare combination for people struggling with oily skin, sebum problems, pores, and acne. Every item is both "glycerin-free" and "oil-free (nearly oil-free)", and the routine skips emulsions and creams, finishing instead with serums and a moisturizing gel.

Featured Items and Their Features

1:24

1. Lotion (Choose Based on Your Skin's Condition)

  • Hada Labo Shirojyun Medicated Whitening Lotion (Regular Type)
    • Active ingredients: Tranexamic acid, allantoin
    • Features: Contains allantoin, which has a strong anti-inflammatory effect. Recommended for skin showing significant redness or acne. A refreshing, glycerin-free, BG-based formula.
  • Derma Aid Triple Active Mist Lotion
    • Active ingredients: Tranexamic acid, niacinamide, D-panthenyl alcohol (panthenol)
    • Features: A combination of three active ingredients that is a first in Japan. It may help promote skin turnover, address melanin, and control sebum, and is recommended for skin where you want to focus on pore concerns such as blackheads.

2. Serum

  • unlabel LAB Ultra-High-Pressure Penetrating Azelaic Acid Derivative Essence
    • Features: A high-performance serum containing 16% (as a raw material) of an azelaic acid derivative (potassium azeloyl diglycinate), which is attracting attention for sebum problems and acne care. It also contains glycylglycine (2%), an ingredient for caring for funnel-shaped pores, and five types of human-identical ceramides.

3. Spot Serum

  • Melano CC Medicated Intensive Anti-Spot Premium Essence
    • Active ingredients: Active vitamin C (ascorbic acid), pyridoxine hydrochloride, allantoin, isopropyl methylphenol
    • Features: Because it contains an ingredient that kills acne bacteria, "spot use" on areas with acne is recommended rather than applying it to the whole face. The formula is suited to sebum control, pore tightening, and brightening care.
19:50

4. Moisturizing Gel (Additional Item If Dryness Is a Concern)

  • M-Mark Series Amino Acid Penetrating Gel
    • Features: A glycerin-free, oil-free gel that still replenishes the skin's natural moisturizing factors (NMF) and glycylglycine. It boosts water retention and provides a moderate sense of moisture while feeling refreshing.

How to Use

  1. Lotion: Shirojyun or Derma Aid (dispense the mist into your palm before applying)
  2. Serum: Smooth the unlabel LAB azelaic acid serum over the entire face
  3. Spot care: Apply the Melano CC Premium Essence only to areas with acne
  4. Moisturizing gel: If you feel dryness or a lack of moisture, layer the Amino Acid Penetrating Gel on last

*All items can be used in both morning and evening skincare routines.

Precautions

  • Because these products contain high-concentration ingredients and gel, pilling (flaking residue) may occur depending on how well they work with the sunscreen or base makeup layered on top.
  • Going glycerin-free, oil-free, and skipping emulsions is simply one option suited to oily skin with heavy sebum production; it does not mean that oils or glycerin are harmful for all acne-prone skin.
