Tip: Pick one April Skin line that matches your main concern and add products one at a time, giving each 2-3 weeks. For tone, pair the TXA Niacinamide serum with sunscreen. For blemish-prone skin, use the Carrotene spot gel only on spots and a pore mask weekly. Patch-test first. Want to compare brands? See the Anua guide or the Torriden guide.
