About APRILSKIN

Since its founding in 2014, APRILSKIN has quickly risen to prominence in South Korea, amassing 10 million followers across its social media channels. The company is known for its effective yet non-irritating skincare products made with natural ingredients and active compounds, all backed by science and extensive research.

APRILSKIN’s Carrotene Line

Inspired by nature, APRILSKIN has introduced a skincare line infused with Carrot Extracts, specifically designed to improve acne-prone skin and clear up breakouts for a flawless complexion. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, an antioxidant that helps strengthen the skin barrier and protect against external aggressors like harmful UV rays and pollution.

Exclusive Blend: Carrotene IPMP™

APRILSKIN’s Carrotene product line features Carrotene IPMP™, a unique and powerful blend of Carrot Extract, Carrot Root Water, and Carrot Seed Oil that deeply nourishes the skin and helps clear up breakouts. This ingredient effectively balances sebum production and reduces excess oil, which helps prevent the formation of blackheads, whiteheads, and acne. Its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties also work to diminish redness and blemishes, calming irritated and inflamed skin. This skincare line is particularly beneficial for combination to oily skin types and those prone to acne.

Acne-fighting Nourishing Serum: APRILSKIN Carrotene Clarifying Serum (37ml)

In Western skincare, Retinol is often recommended for tackling acne, but it can be a bit too harsh if you have sensitive skin. If your skin is delicate and prone to irritation, this serum is made for you. Carrots are rich in Vitamin A, the same powerhouse ingredient found in Retinol, but much gentler on the skin (as Vitamin A occurs naturally!). This nutrient-packed serum also includes Niacinamide, which helps control oil levels and brighten dark spots left by blemishes. The milky yet lightweight formula absorbs quickly without leaving behind a greasy feeling!

Fun fact: 95% of users reported reduced irritation, and 31% noticed lower sebum levels after just 2 weeks of using the serum!

*Based on the clinical test conducted by the Global Institute of Dermatological Sciences with 32 participants.
