Korean Moisturizers & Creams

How to choose a Korean moisturizer

Match the texture to your skin. Oily and combination skin usually likes light gels, such as the iUNIK Beta Glucan Daily Moisture Cream or the aloe gels from Isntree and Nature Republic. Dry skin feels more comfortable under richer creams like the Dr.Althea 147 Barrier Cream, the Round Lab Birch Juice Moisturizing Intensive Cream or the Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Moist Cream.

Want more than moisture? The Centellian24 Madeca Cream Time Reverse brings retinol, ceramides and centella together for firmer-looking skin. The Goodal Green Tangerine Vita C Dark Spot Care Cream focuses on the look of dark spots, and the Jumiso Niacinamide 5 + Overnight Cream is a non-sticky night cream for combination-to-oily skin.

Does oily skin need a moisturizer?

Yes. Skin can be oily and dehydrated at the same time. A light gel cream hydrates without feeling heavy. See more picks for oily skin.

What is a barrier cream?

It is a moisturizer built around ingredients like ceramides, panthenol and beta-glucan that hydrate and support the skin barrier, so skin feels less tight and rough. Browse all barrier care.

What if my cream arrives melted?

Heat during transit can affect some textures. Place the product somewhere cool for a few hours and most recover. If it is damaged beyond use, contact us within 7 days of delivery.

How to use it in your routine

Moisturizer goes on after your serum and before sunscreen in the morning. At night it is your last step, or you can follow it with an overnight wrapping mask. Dry all over? Shop the dry skin edit.
