One key feature of Korean skincare routines is the usage of ampules and CNP Laboratory is well known for their ampules that really work. Ampules are targeted and supercharged skincare, meant to address specific skin concerns or conditions. CNP Laboratory’s ampules are formulated for daily use, so you can go ahead and add them into your skincare routine to make it more effective.

A good sunscreen protects your skin from both UVA and UVB rays, but you know what makes an even better sunscreen? One that does so much more than that.

The Tone-up Protection Sun from CNP Laboratory comes with pearl powder to enhance your skin’s natural tone, giving you a soft filtered look. It is hypoallergenic and helps with sebum control, so you don’t look too shiny at the end of the day. We love a hardworking sunscreen that is also suitable for sensitive skin, which is why it’s voted Best Tinted Sunscreen in GirlStyle Favourites 2022. Get it here.

Pimples always have this annoying habit of showing up at the most inconvenient of times, so here’s a simple solution: just stick CNP Laboratory’s Anti-Blemish Spot Patch over it. It works well on both bare skin and over makeup, which is why it won in the Best Acne Patch category of GirlStyle Favourites!

The patch effectively blocks out external pollutants so that the pimple isn’t further aggravated, but still remains breathable so you don’t end up trapping moisture. With salicylic acid and tea tree oil, the patch gently coaxes out all that nasty pimple gunk and reduces its appearance. Get it here.

For hydration, try: CNP Laboratory’s Hydro Cera Intense Cream
