Korean skincare for blackheads in Chile: worth it or just marketing?

On r/ChileFemenino, someone said she already has a basic routine with decent products (cleanser, moisturiser, sunscreen), but her real struggle is breakouts and blackheads. She'd seen that Korean cleansing oils and certain masks might help, and asked how much of that is marketing and where to buy with confidence.

What the replies said:

• The most repeated point: blackheads don't need a very long routine; several people mentioned what dermatologists had told them about salicylic acid and oil cleansers.

• One user said a BHA exfoliant turned her blackheads and small bumps around.

• For shops, people named several Chilean importers with physical stores (some with testers and samples), plus international websites when local prices get too high.

• Korean and Japanese sunscreens were recommended for their light texture, with the reminder that they need reapplying like any other.

• One reply was more sceptical: no face product she tried made a big difference, because her skin is very delicate.

Overall the thread leaned towards keeping it simple: a few well-chosen products rather than ten steps.

Desk note: the American Academy of Dermatology warns that picking or squeezing acne makes it take longer to clear and raises the risk of scars and dark spots, and that results can take weeks or months. If blackheads don't improve, it's worth asking a dermatologist.

What worked best for your blackheads: an exfoliant, double cleansing, or neither?
