Water-Based Cleansers
After the indulgence of oil cleansing, it's time to thoroughly cleanse with a water-based cleanser. These cleansers are essential for removing any remaining residue and impurities, ensuring your skin is fresh and ready for the next steps in your skincare routine.
Available in a variety of forms such as gel, cream, foam or milk, water-based cleansers effectively unclog pores and leave your skin feeling clean and refreshed. Choose the texture that best suits your preferences for a personalized cleansing experience.

Step 3
Exfoliators
Exfoliation is a key step in the Korean skincare routine, helping to remove dead skin cells and revealing smoother, brighter skin. There are two main types: physical exfoliants, such as scrubs, and chemical exfoliants, such as AHAs and BHAs.
It's important to approach exfoliation with care, starting with weekly use and gradually increasing frequency as needed. While some chemical peels are gentle enough for daily use, always assess your skin's tolerance and adjust accordingly for optimal results.

Step 4
Toners
Toner serves as a crucial step in skin care, balancing the skin's pH level and enhancing the absorption of subsequent products.
Unlike their traditional Western counterparts, Korean toners prioritize hydration and nourishment, avoiding astringents and drying alcohols. This refreshing formula adds an extra layer of hydration to keep your complexion hydrated and revitalized.

Essences
An essential part of the Korean skincare routine, Essence is known for its lightweight, hydrating properties. This water-based formula penetrates deep into the skin to deliver essential nutrients and moisture for a soft, supple and radiant complexion.
When used in conjunction with cleansing and toning, Essence enhances the effectiveness of subsequent skincare products. By ensuring the skin is adequately hydrated and nourished, it becomes less prone to irritation and dullness, allowing for better absorption of nutrients and promoting overall skin health.

Step 6
Serums & Amouples
Serums and ampoules are powerful formulations that target specific skin concerns such as hyperpigmentation, acne and fine lines. With high concentrations of active ingredients, they deliver targeted treatment to address your skin's unique needs and promote a youthful, radiant complexion.
These products contain powerful ingredients such as vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and retinol to address a variety of skin concerns and improve overall skin health. Vials, known for their even higher concentration and efficacy than serums, provide intensive treatment for optimal results.

Face Masks
Face masks, including sheet masks, have become a popular skin care staple in Korea. They are highly regarded for their ability to deeply hydrate and nourish the skin while addressing specific concerns such as dryness, dullness and sensitivity. Infused with a rich blend of active ingredients, these masks offer a quick and effective solution for achieving a radiant complexion.
One of the key attractions of sheet masks is their convenience and ease of use. With just a 10-minute application, you can enjoy a pampering session at home, giving your skin the tender loving care it deserves. And with a variety of other options available, including wash-off masks and sleep masks, you can customize your skincare routine to suit your individual needs and achieve that coveted dewy glow.

Step 8
Eye Creams
The delicate skin around the eyes requires special care, making eye cream an essential step in the Korean skincare routine. Specifically formulated to hydrate, brighten and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, eye creams work wonders in rejuvenating this sensitive area.
In addition to targeting fine lines and wrinkles, our eye care products are designed to reduce dark circles and puffiness, leaving your eyes looking bright and youthful. To reap the full benefits, we recommend incorporating an eye cream into your daily skincare routine, using it both morning and night.

Moisturizers
Moisturizers play an important role in maintaining skin hydration and protecting the skin's natural barrier. In the Korean skincare routine, moisturizers come in a variety of textures, including light gels, rich creams, lotions, emulsions and facial oils, to suit different skin types and preferences.
By locking in moisture and creating a protective barrier, moisturizers keep skin soft, smooth and supple throughout the day. They provide essential hydration, prevent dryness and maintain optimal skin health. With a wide range of options, you can find the perfect moisturizer to meet your unique skin care needs and preferences, keeping your skin nourished and glowing.

Step 10
Sunscreens
Sunscreen is the ultimate must-have in any skincare routine, and the Korean regimen is no exception. It protects the skin from harmful UV rays and fends off premature aging, hyperpigmentation and even skin cancer.
When it comes to sunscreens, there are two main types: chemical and mineral. Chemical sunscreens use chemicals to filter out UV rays, while mineral sunscreens use active ingredients that reflect sunlight. For optimal protection, choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher to make sure it protects against both UVB and UVA rays. Make it a daily habit to reapply sunscreen generously, rain or shine, to protect your skin's health and maintain its youthful glow.
