Note: This pore control gift box includes different types of acids that are beneficial for cleansing pores and regulating sebum, but it's important to understand their roles and concentrations to avoid potential skin irritation, especially for sensitive skin. Here’s an overview of the acids used in this set:

1. Salicylic acid (BHA) in Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser: Salicylic acid penetrates deep into pores, removing accumulated sebum and impurities. While highly effective, overuse can lead to dryness or irritation, particularly for sensitive skin.
2. PHA (Polyhydroxy acid) in Numbuzin No.4 Pore Zero Peeled Egg Toner Pad: PHA is a gentler alternative to AHAs and tends to be less irritating. It provides mild exfoliation while retaining moisture in the skin.
3. BHA in Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum: The BHA in this serum helps exfoliate inside the pores, but when used alongside other acid-containing products, it’s important to monitor how your skin reacts and potentially limit use to every other day or less frequently.

How to avoid overusing acids: If you feel this box might contain too many acids for your skin, here are some suggestions to minimize potential irritation:

1. Introduce acids gradually: Start by using one acid-containing product every other day, then slowly introduce others into your routine.
2. Monitor your skin’s response: If you notice redness, dryness, or irritation, reduce the frequency of use for acid-based products.
3. Use a good moisturizer: After using acids, always follow with a hydrating cream to restore your skin barrier and minimize irritation.
4. Daily sun protection: Using acids can increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun, so it's essential to apply sunscreen every day.

Overall, this box provides a well-rounded solution for pore control, but caution is advised when using all the products at once, especially if you have sensitive skin or are new to acids. You can start by gradually introducing the products or adjust the frequency of use according to your skin’s needs.
