Acne may be number one on our list of ~struggles~, but coming in at a close second is uneven skin texture. It's caused by excess dead skin cells that build up on the surface of the skin. It can be annoying to deal with, as your base products don't sit well on your face—the tiny bumps still peek through.
That said, we've listed down the products that will help smooth out uneven skin texture. Keep on scrolling to find your next holy grail skincare items:

How to get rid of uneven skin texture: Exfoliating pads
Have you noticed the recurring theme? Exfoliating is the way to go to get rid of uneven skin texture. It is often an overlooked step in your routine, but it's actually important. This practice rids your skin of dead skin cells and sebum buildup and smooths out bumps (including whiteheads and blackheads!). If you're not using an exfoliating toner, make sure to add the One Step Original Clear Pads of COSRX to your routine. These act like a mini-facial in a tub—one pad clears out gunk and micro-exfoliates uneven skin texture.
When to use it: Once to twice a week
