Acne Care and Hydration Kit: The Complete 3-Step Solution for Clear, Calm, and Hydrated Skin
The Acne Care and Hydration Kit is a complete 3-step skincare routine designed for individuals who want to manage acne effectively while keeping their skin hydrated, soothed, and well-balanced. Acne-prone skin often becomes irritated, inflamed, and dehydrated due to harsh treatments, overwashing, and incorrect product combinations. This comprehensive kit solves those issues by combining gentle exfoliation, barrier-strengthening toning, and deep yet lightweight hydration, all in one easy-to-follow regimen.
Inside the Acne Care and Hydration Kit, you’ll receive three of the most trusted Korean skincare essentials:
- COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser (170g)
- COSRX Centella Water Alcohol-Free Toner (150ml)
- Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream (50ml)
These products work together to remove excess oil, dissolve clogged pores, reduce inflammation, calm redness, and strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier. This ensures that your skin doesn’t just become clearer— it also becomes healthier over time.
The Acne Care and Hydration Kit is suitable for oily, combination, sensitive, and acne-prone skin types. Whether you deal with hormonal acne, stress-induced breakouts, blackheads, whiteheads, or dehydrated skin that still produces oil, this system helps rebalance your skin and restore clarity without irritation.
Why the Acne Care and Hydration Kit Is the Perfect Routine for Acne-Prone Skin
Acne-prone skin requires more care and balance than most people realize. It is not enough to simply use harsh cleansers or strong treatments. The skin must be exfoliated gently, soothed consistently, and hydrated deeply—without pore-clogging ingredients.
The Acne Care and Hydration Kit was created with this philosophy in mind. Instead of overwhelming your skin with too many steps or ingredients that conflict with one another, this kit delivers an easy, science-backed routine that supports your skin’s natural healing process. Each product has its own purpose, and together they create a synergy that benefits the skin in both the short and long term.
Benefits of the Acne Care and Hydration Kit:
- Helps control breakouts and prevent new ones
- Removes excess oil and unclogs pores
- Reduces blackheads, whiteheads, and congestion
- Soothes redness, irritation, and inflammation
- Strengthens the moisture barrier
- Provides non-greasy and long-lasting hydration
- Restores balance to oily or combination skin
- Helps fade acne marks gradually
- Gentle enough for daily use
This kit is ideal for anyone who wants a routine that addresses acne while respecting the delicate needs of irritated or dehydrated skin.
Step 1: COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser (170g)
The Foundation of the Acne Care and Hydration Kit
Every effective acne routine starts with the right cleansing method. The COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser is the first and most essential step in the Acne Care and Hydration Kit. It is formulated with 0.5% salicylic acid, making it strong enough to penetrate deep into pores but gentle enough to avoid irritation.
Why This Cleanser Is Perfect for Acne-Prone Skin
Many cleansers for acne are harsh and can strip the skin of necessary moisture. This often causes the skin to produce more oil, eventually leading to more breakouts. The COSRX cleanser is different—its gentle foaming formula removes impurities without leaving the skin tight or dry.
Salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid (BHA), is oil-soluble, meaning it can dissolve sebum inside pores. This makes it ideal for treating and preventing acne caused by clogged pores.
Key Ingredients in the Cleanser
- Salicylic Acid (0.5%)
Helps exfoliate inside the pores, clearing out oil and dead skin buildup. - Tea Tree Oil
Offers natural antibacterial benefits and helps reduce inflammation. - Botanical Extracts
Soothe irritation and help maintain hydration.
Benefits of the Cleanser
- Deep cleans pores
- Reduces blackheads and whiteheads
- Helps prevent future breakouts
- Dissolves excess oil
- Gentle enough for daily use
- Leaves skin soft, not stripped
How to Use This Cleanser in Your Routine
Wet your face with lukewarm water, apply a small amount of the cleanser, and massage gently for 20–30 seconds. Rinse thoroughly and pat your face dry. Use morning and evening as the foundation of your Acne Care and Hydration Kit.
Step 2: COSRX Centella Water Alcohol-Free Toner (150ml)
The Soothing and Balancing Heart of the Acne Care and Hydration Kit
After cleansing, acne-prone skin needs calming, hydration, and barrier support. The COSRX Centella Water Alcohol-Free Toner is the second step of the Acne Care and Hydration Kit, and it is specially designed to reduce inflammation while replenishing moisture.
Centella Asiatica—also known as Cica—is famous for its healing, soothing, and skin-repairing properties. It is one of the most recommended ingredients for sensitive and acne-prone skin because it instantly reduces redness and provides relief to irritated patches.
Why This Toner Matters in an Acne Routine
Acne-prone skin is often inflamed. Even if you don’t see redness on the surface, there is microscopic irritation happening beneath. Hydrating and soothing the skin is essential for preventing future breakouts and supporting recovery from active ones.
Unlike traditional toners that contain alcohol or astringents, this toner is alcohol-free and incredibly gentle. It helps prepare the skin for the final moisturizing step while ensuring your skin remains hydrated and calm.
Key Ingredients in the Toner
- 82% Centella Asiatica Leaf Water
Repairs and soothes skin; reduces inflammation and irritation. - Mineral Water
Hydrates the skin without heaviness. - Allantoin
Promotes healing and calms sensitive or compromised skin.
Benefits of the Toner
- Reduces redness and inflammation
- Hydrates and refreshes the skin
- Repairs a damaged moisture barrier
- Helps fade acne-related irritation
- Alcohol-free, ideal for sensitive skin
- Lightweight and non-sticky
How to Use the Toner in the Acne Care and Hydration Kit
After cleansing, apply the toner using your fingertips or a cotton pad. Gently press the product into your skin until fully absorbed.
Step 3: Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream (50ml)
Deep Hydration Without Clogging Pores
Moisturizing is essential for every skin type—even oily skin. Many people with acne-prone skin skip moisturizer out of fear that it will clog their pores. However, dehydration can trigger more oil production, causing additional breakouts.
The Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream is the final and most luxurious step of the Acne Care and Hydration Kit. This cream provides rich, nourishing hydration without leaving the skin greasy or heavy. It absorbs quickly and leaves a smooth, glowing finish.
Why This Cream Completes the Routine Perfectly
Acne-prone skin often suffers from compromised barrier function due to harsh treatment products. When the skin barrier is damaged, irritation increases, breakouts worsen, and healing slows down. The Dynasty Cream includes ingredients like ginseng, niacinamide, and ceramides that restore the barrier, improve tone, and deliver lasting hydration.
Key Ingredients in the Dynasty Cream
- Ginseng Root Water
Improves circulation and supports skin vitality. - Niacinamide
Helps even skin tone and fade acne marks. - Rice Bran Water
Hydrates and supports smooth texture. - Ceramides
Strengthen the barrier and lock in moisture.
Benefits of the Dynasty Cream
- Deep, long-lasting hydration
- Strengthens the skin barrier
- Reduces acne marks and uneven tone
- Non-comedogenic and lightweight
- Enhances skin radiance
- Suitable for daily use
How to Use the Cream in Your Routine
Apply a small amount to your face after the toner. Massage gently until absorbed. Use morning and evening.
Why the Acne Care and Hydration Kit Works So Well Together
The real power of the Acne Care and Hydration Kit lies in how the products complement one another:
1. Cleansing with salicylic acid removes buildup.
This clears the way for the other products to penetrate better.
2. Toner calms irritation and restores hydration.
Inflamed skin produces more oil and heals slower; soothing it is essential.
3. Moisturizer strengthens the barrier and hydrates the skin.
Hydrated skin is less likely to overproduce oil and clog pores.
By addressing every stage of acne—oil, clogged pores, inflammation, and dehydration—this kit promotes clear, calm, and balanced skin.

This kit is ideal for:
- Acne-prone skin
