There is a new acne-fight skincare line in town and it is from the Taiwanese clinical skincare brand, Dr.WU.
The newly upgraded Acnecur Anti-Acne System contains a special ingredient called akeni:17, a result of a 5-year research & development by the brand and is carefully and meticulously created with the Asian skin in mind.
