Acne-prone skin, Oily blemish-prone skin
The Bija Trouble line centres on bija (torreya) seed oil from Jeju — traditionally valued for skin-soothing properties. This foam cleanser removes impurities and helps exfoliate flaky skin while remaining gentler than many acne-focused drugstore washes.
Acne Cleansing Principles
Effective acne cleansing removes excess oil and bacteria-friendly debris without destroying the acid mantle. Over-cleansing triggers more oil production — a common mistake in humid climates where skin already produces ample sebum.
Key Ingredients
Salicylic acid (BHA) penetrates oil in pores to help prevent clogging. Centella asiatica soothes inflammation associated with active breakouts. Bija seed oil adds nourishment so the formula doesn't feel purely stripping.
Usage
Use morning and evening. For active breakouts, avoid aggressive scrubbing — let the foam sit briefly on congested areas before rinsing. Follow with a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer even on oily skin.
After Cleansing
Post-blemish care often needs brightening support once active acne calms — consider Brightening Pore Serum for residual marks, introduced gradually.
When to See a Dermatologist
Persistent cystic acne, scarring, or no improvement after 8–12 weeks warrants professional treatment. Cleansers alone rarely resolve moderate-to-severe acne.
