Your Korean night skincare routine, step by step
Evening is when a Korean night skincare routine can focus on renewal, so this edit adds retinol. Step one: cleanse off sunscreen and the day's oil with the Medicube Azelaic Acid Niacinamide Deep Clean Foam Cleanser. Step two: pat on the I'm From Rice Toner, built around Goami rice extract for a smooth-looking, luminous finish. It works for all skin types.
Step three is the Medicube Retinol NMN Boosting Serum, a low-irritation retinol serum that targets the look of fine lines and supports firmer-looking skin. Step four seals everything in with the Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Moist Cream, a cushioning cream that leaves dry skin feeling soft and smooth. Go from thinnest to thickest texture and give each layer a moment to settle.
Should I patch test retinol?
We recommend it, especially with retinoids, acids or sensitive skin. Apply a small amount behind the ear or on the inner arm for 24-48 hours and stop use if irritation occurs. Retinoids can increase sun sensitivity, so use sunscreen daily.
Can I use retinol every night?
Build up slowly. On nights off, keep the same order and simply skip the serum.
Can I get help choosing a routine?
Yes. Visit our Boca Raton store at 225 E Palmetto Park Road, open daily 10am-8pm, for a free skin consultation, or email us your skin type and concerns.
