Korean skincare buzz – what’s the deal?

You may have heard about Korean skincare – how women in Korea have cracked the enigma code on skincare. They have a twelve point plan regime, and they regard skincare products as food – sometimes you need hydration, other times nourishment etc.

So it’s no surprise to heat that Korean women often use multiple serums at once (even up to five at a time!) to actively target different skin conditions.

“For instance, one night you might want to target both aging and hyperpigmentation with two different serums,” Byrdie magazine explains. “And then the next day you might add a radiance-boosting serum on top of that because your skin looks and feels dull.”

“Improving your skin is most effective when key active ingredients can reach the cellular level, instead of simply sitting on top of your skin’s top layers,” Byrdie says.

“Improving your skin is most effective when key active ingredients can reach the cellular level, instead of simply sitting on top of your skin’s top layers,” Byrdie says. With that belief in mind, Korean women literally view these products as food for the skin, nourishing and rejuvenating their complexions from the inside out.

“Korean beauty labs excel at churning out innovative and extremely targeted products at a dizzying rate,” Byrdie explains. “So you want brighter skin? There’s a serum for that. What about firmer skin, too?  Use a clinically-proven ampoule. What if you aren’t satisfied with just that and want a refined skin texture—the kind of translucent, delicate skin that small children have before age weathers and leathers the skin? Of course, there’s a buzzed-about, cult-favorite face oil for that.”

And this is exactly the reason why a Korean woman will double-down on these steps—she’ll walk through a store with rows and rows of beautifully packaged bottles that promise to meet her a la carte skincare needs and deliver results. It soon becomes clear to Korean women that just one serum won’t do. After all, who wants just plump skin when you can have plump, bright, and dewy skin?
