About The Entry

Specially formulated to tackle coarse pores and dullness in oily skin, this product delivers a scientific, high-efficiency, and personalized skincare solution, thanks to an innovative packaging design that resolves the challenge of ingredient coexistence.

Globally, over 1.5 billion people in low-latitude regions have oily skin, with China alone accounting for 400 million. Yet, global skincare R&D remains dominated by Western countries in high-latitude regions where oily skin concerns are less prevalent. Consequently, their formulation logic—predominantly developed for dry skin—fails to address the needs of low-latitude oily-skin populations. Such formulations often overlook the distinct challenges of sebum oxidation and keratin accumulation inherent to oily skin, while heavy, occlusive ingredients tend to exacerbate oiliness. To bridge this gap, CKA leveraged data from 30 million oily-skin users to pioneer a “Acid-Enzyme-Antioxidant” dual-action system. Breaking through the limitations of single-action acid or enzyme treatments, it achieves effective skin resurfacing and brightening simultaneously. A specially developed supramolecular acid-enzyme complex unifies and stabilizes the two actives, while an innovative dual-tube design completely isolates this formula from the SOC-722 antioxidant complex, perfectly preserving the peak potency of the core ingredients. Meanwhile, the highly transparent bottle clearly reveals the distinct golden and amber-orange liquids inside, reinforcing the product’s dual efficacy: polishing via the acid-enzyme phase and brightening the complexion with antioxidants.

Beyond ingredient preservation, the packaging overcomes the rigid, fixed-ratio constraints of traditional dual-tube designs by integrating a two-setting rotary collar at the top. In addition to the simultaneous output of both tubes, it provides a dedicated setting to independently dispense the acid-enzyme serum. This precision mechanism eliminates product waste from trapped residue and provides a truly bespoke skincare experience. Users with resilient skin can apply extra pumps to customize their exfoliation intensity, while those with oily T-zones can treat localized areas with total flexibility. Intuitive icons around the rim of the collar clearly indicate the selected mode, making the personalized skincare ritual much easier.
