FAQs
If you are a K-Beauty beginner, we recommend starting with a simple 4-step routine that includes a cleanser, a serum, a moisturiser, and a sunscreen. We recommend starting small because if your skin is not used to many actives and layering, the sudden introduction of a 10-step routine that contains powerful products may overwhelm your skin, or cause it to break out. Slowly increasing the number of products in your routine will also make it easier for you to determine if a product is not suitable for your skin.
Start by identifying your skin type—dry, oily, combination, or sensitive.
- For dry skin: look for hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and squalane.
- For oily/acne-prone skin: opt for lightweight, non-comedogenic formulas with tea tree, salicylic acid, or niacinamide.
- For sensitive skin: go for fragrance-free, soothing products with centella asiatica or heartleaf.We also have a skin-type filter on our shop to help you choose easily!
