I have acne-prone skin also, and these are the k-beauty products I recommend. (My skin is oily, it doesn't get irritated by ingredients like salicylic acid, glycolic acid and fragrances, but it is quick to get pimples when i eat greasy foods or use oil-based moisturizers.)

As a cleanser, I always use esfolio's milk cleansing foam. It has a subtle scent of milk and it leaves my skin very soft! It does it's job.

As a toner, for acne-prone skin i really recommend the green plum toner from beauty of joseon. It has 25% fruit water, 2% glycolic acid and 0.5% salicylic acid.. it's a gentle exfoliator and I find it to be soothing on my skin. (However, if your skin is dry or sensitive, I would be careful with using ingredients like salicylic acid or glycolic acid, as they can be irritating.)

As a moisturizer, I like to use COSRX's snail mucin power essence. It's lightweight and I'm pretty sure it's water-based. When I use an oil-based moisturizer or serum, I always get pimples the day after. This essence though, has never made me break out.

For a k-beauty sunscreen i'm not sure, but I recommend Neutrogena.. it's not a Korean brand, but their sunscreen is good and affordable.
