Best Lipcare & Skincare Finds In November 2023

Krave Beauty Oil La La Balancing Skin Soothing Serum

Gone are the days of applying harsh active ingredients for our acne skin! Take it from Krave Beauty founder and CEO Liah Yoo who’s had her fair share of struggles with her acne skin. That’s why her latest launch is meant to change up our views of treating acne prone skin – with gentler formulations instead of active ingredients! 

The Oil La La Balancing Skin Soothing Serum uses fatty plant oils like Jojoba, Sunflower, and Grapeseed Oil to restore hydration for a healthy skin barrier. And for acne breakouts? Krave Beauty found that oily skin types shouldn’t use drying topicals to unclog and degunk the excess sebum. Instead, Oil La La includes rosehip oil to make our sebum production more fluid and less likely to clog up our pores – meaning, less breakouts and clearer skin.
