Firming & Fine-Line Care

How to choose Korean anti-aging and firming skincare

This edit brings together Korean serums and toners from Numbuzin and Medicube, plus koréos Originals like the KORYO Advanced Retinol Microcone Patch. Choose by how bold you want to go. New to retinoids? Begin around the eyes with the Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum with ginseng and retinal, or pick the Pyunkang Yul Black Tea Time Reverse Eye Cream, which uses peptides instead. For the face, the Medicube Retinol NMN Boosting Serum is best kept for your evening routine.

Prefer a retinol-free route? PDRN and peptide formulas such as the Numbuzin No.2 Rose PDRN Collagen Plumping Serum, the Numbuzin No.9 NAD PDRN Glow Boosting Toner and the Genabelle PDRN Dual Glow Serum Mist focus on a bouncy, smooth look and the look of fine lines. The KORYO patch, Only at koréos, places retinol and hyaluronic acid on targeted areas like smile lines, the eye contour and between the brows.

When should I start firming skincare?

There is no set age. Hydration and daily sunscreen are a good base at any stage; add peptides, PDRN or retinol when the look of fine lines starts to bother you.

Can I use retinol with PDRN or peptides?

Generally yes. Keep retinol at night, introduce one new product at a time and patch test first. Retinoids can increase sun sensitivity, so wear sunscreen daily.

Can I try products before I buy?

How to use it in your routine

Morning: cleanse, tone, serum, moisturize, then SPF such as the Medicube Glow Collagen Sunscreen SPF 50. Night: swap in your retinol or PDRN serum and seal it with a cream or wrapping mask. Explore serums, eye care, masks and sun care, or shop by concern for other goals.
