Korean Beauty Products
I have been using Korean skincare products for awhile now. I love them so much as they are not only affordable but they also suit my skin. Some of them may be of lighter texture as well, hence does not feel harsh on my skin.
​
I will be talking about products I have used or am currently using. Links of my favourite sites to purchase them has also been added. Feel free to explore at your own pace.
Discover My Korean SQIN Theory
I bought 2 tubes of this cream at a time. I was somehow so confident with the ingredients that I know this will be right for me.
This natural blue-tinted cream is infused with naturally derived ingredients to soothe skin; with centella and ceramide to strengthen skin barrier, guaiazulene which is effective in calming inflammation of damaged skin tissue from UV rays and regenerating new skin cells. It also contains EGF which I am obsessed with currently, but I think it is not a high content. I just love the blue though...
For me, this cream does soothe my irritated skin from continuous use of skin treatments; It has a slight cooling feeling upon applying. However, I personally do not feel that it is ultra hydrating, so I do recommend using regular moisturiser as well.
This is recommended as the last step of nighttime skin care routine, but I slapped on another moisturiser which is of thicker consistency on top of this.
Anyway, your skin will tell you exactly what she wants, so listen to your skin!
This night serum reduces fine lines and wrinkles using a dual peptide formula strengthened by EGF (sh-Oligopeptide-1) and bFGF (sh-Polypeptide-1). Ten ingredients fight and prevent aging to maintain youthful-looking skin.
I was immediately sold by the ingredients list. I have been concentrating on dealing with acne issues, that I have neglected anti aging products. I was so excited to try this out and bought 2 bottles straightaway!
The texture is nice, just watery goodness without any form of stickiness which is what I like in an essence/serum.
IOPE
BIO ESSENCE INTENSIVE CONDITIONING
This is one of my favourite K-Beauty Toner that is not only moisturising, but it is also a water formula serum.
Every night when I do my skincare routine, this is the one thing I look forward to the most, coz I know my thirsty skin is waiting for it. Having the BAD habit of showering with ultra hot water (Yes I know It is not good for my skin - But I can't help it!), my skin always felt tight to the point that its tearing apart... (ok slightly exaggerating... or not). But after putting on this toner, my face immediately felt refreshed and moist and ready to take on other products and lock in their benefits.
It is know to increase up to 95.3% of your skin moisture right after use. It also brighten your skin and decrease skin roughness.
This bio serum that contains advanced Bio-Redox A™ components recharges the skin’s natural strength on a daily basis so that skin becomes strong against time or changes in the environment.
This product perfects the oil and moisture balance after cleansing while evening out the skin inside and out, completing a smooth and translucent skin foundation that glows. It also contains Niacinamide & Glycerin.

My all time favourite sheet mask. It is soooo hydrating. This is my saviour over the dry winter months. It is exceptionally cooling as well if you do it in summer.
Excessive use of acids on my face to fix acne issues has taken a toll on my skin. I somehow felt that my skin has become 'thinner'. Do you feel that too?
Therefore, regular masking is absolutely necessary. Any mask will do coz its better than not putting on a mask. However, I choose K-Beauty Mediheal N.M.F Aquaring Ampoule Mask Ex as they are affordable and packed with lots of essence that I seriously can feel the difference when using it on my thirsty skin.
With ingredients like Hyaluronic acid, Glacial Water, and Amino acids, I am definitely sold on this mask.
