• Serum + cream for breakouts
  • Calms redness and irritation
  • Regulates oil, keeps hydration
  • Micro-DeepTox acne complex

What it is

A two-step acne care set from Percent Science, a Korean skincare brand built around patented ingredient complexes. It pairs the Dexynol-16.3 peptide serum with a lightweight oil-balancing cream, aimed at breakouts without harsh drying.

What it does

The serum works on inflammation and helps strengthen the skin barrier so skin can defend itself, while the cream regulates sebum, calms redness, and keeps moisture balanced. Together they target breakouts, clogged pores, and uneven texture while staying gentle.

Who it's for

Acne-prone and sensitive skin that reacts badly to aggressive treatments. Also a fit if you are dealing with breakouts and early fine lines at the same time.

How to use

How much: A pea-sized amount of serum and a thin layer of cream.

1. Apply the serum to clean skin, morning and night.
2. Follow with the cream to seal in hydration and control oil.
3. Use consistently; the supplier notes results build with twice-daily use.

Where it fits: After cleansing, before sunscreen in the morning and as your final step at night.

Why we stock it

We stock this because most acne lines treat your skin like the enemy. This one pairs breakout care with barrier support, which is the combination that actually keeps skin calm long term.

About the brand

PERCENT SCIENCE

Clinical Korean skincare, demystified

Percent Science is a skincare brand developed by biotech researchers, originally formulated for high-end dermatology and aesthetic clinics in Korea before debuting in the U.S. Their formulas use carefully selected ingredients from Germany, Korea, and France, paired with a patented delivery technology for deep absorption. The whole point is medical-grade skincare without the medical-grade gatekeeping.

We stock Percent Science because it brings clinic-level anti-aging formulas to the shelf at prices that don't require a dermatologist's budget.

Skincare questions, answered

Where does this go in my routine?

Thinnest to thickest: cleanser, toner, serum, moisturizer, then SPF in the morning. This product's How to use section above tells you its exact step.

When will I see results?

Give it 4 to 6 weeks of consistent use — that's one full skin cycle. Hydration shows up in days; tone and texture take weeks. If your skin reacts badly (stinging, new breakouts that don't settle within a week), stop using it.

I have sensitive skin. Will this irritate me?

Patch test first: a dab behind your ear or along your jawline, wait 24 hours. Fragrance-free formulas are the safest bet for reactive skin — check the highlights on this page.
