What is so special about Korean skincare and why are Korean creams and moisturizers so popular?
Korean moisturizers combine effective yet gentle formulas with high-quality ingredients. They absorb quickly, leave no heavy residue, and deeply hydrate the skin. Typical active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, ceramides, cica, panthenol, rice extract, ginseng, squalane, niacinamide, or fermented extracts strengthen the skin barrier and help the skin become smoother, plumper, and more resilient.
As the final step in the skincare routine, they seal in all previous active ingredients and ensure a fresh, hydrated glow throughout the day.
What distinguishes Korean moisturizers from conventional creams?
Korean moisturizers are formulated to be exceptionally light yet rich in highly effective ingredients. They rely on mild, skin-friendly textures that soothe even sensitive skin. While many Western creams focus on providing a greasy barrier, Korean skincare concentrates on strengthening the skin barrier, delivering deep hydration, and visibly improving the skin's appearance. This allows them to be more effective without feeling heavy.
For which skin type is a Korean moisturizer suitable?
Korean creams are suitable for all skin types.
Dry skin particularly benefits from creamy textures containing hyaluronic acid or ceramides.
Sensitive skin is balanced by soothing ingredients such as cica or panthenol.
Oily and combination skin loves light gel creams that are quickly absorbed and non-greasy.
Mature skin benefits from ginseng, peptides and fermented active ingredients that smooth and revitalize the skin.
Thanks to their diversity, every skin need can find the perfect Korean cream.
When should you apply a moisturizer in your skincare routine?
Moisturizer is always used as the last step in your skincare routine, after toner, essence, and serum. This allows it to lock in the previously applied active ingredients and optimally protect and nourish the skin. Sunscreen follows in the morning. In the evening, the cream supports regeneration, allowing the skin to recover overnight.
Korean creams and moisturizers are therefore an essential part of daily skincare and help the skin to stay healthy, hydrated and radiant.
