Can you get clearasil from Lottemart/etc or is there a korean version of it that I can find? I don't understand Korean thanks.

EDITED : Clearasil is a cream to treat pimples or acne for those who don't know what I'm talking about.

They do have it, its recognisable even if you don't read hangeul. look at the pictures.

What they also lack here is facial scrub.

Every so often, I have been breaking out here. Not like some highschool students I have seen (luckily Shocked ) though. I lived in Japan and China, and I figure those are just as polluted if not more. And here, I live in the country. I don't know???

*sigh* Before I came here my complexion was perfect. PERFECT.
6 months after landing, and my complexion was that of a teenage boy.

OK- maybe not THAT bad, but my skin sure as hell isn't perfect anymore. Ew. The pollution and water quality out here is terrible.

I'm pretty sure they have clearisil here. There are a lot of Nuetrogena and Clean & Clear products at the mini-mart in my building (as well as at LotteMart).

Have you looked at your diet? Do you eat a good share of ramyon, bo-kum-bap, fried food?
Just two consecutive meals of oily, or fried foods and i break out, too. Even snacks like donuts can cause problems if i have a couple.

Oh trust me, I've considered that Smile I'm a bit of a healthy eating/living nut though so I'm pretty sure that's not what started it. I think it's the mixture of the crap air that my skin does not like and the fact that I'm constantly stressed out, haha.


rocklee- Clearasil is actually a brand name of a skincare line, so they make facewashes, etc as well. Maybe you can get someone from the states or Canada to send you some Dermalogica stuff (I just had my mom do that last week- fingers crossed that it works for me out here!).
