How to choose Korean skincare for your skin type
Start with how your skin feels by mid-afternoon. If it turns shiny, look for light, clarifying textures such as the Arencia Fresh Blue Hyssop Rice Mochi Cleanser and the Medicube Zero Pore One Day Peptide Serum. If it feels tight, a cushiony cream like the Round Lab Birch Juice Moisturizing Intensive Cream helps it feel soft again. Skin that looks red easily tends to like short, calming formulas with centella, heartleaf or aloe from Abib, iUNIK and Pyunkang Yul.
You will find Korean brands such as Anua, Dr.Althea and Medicube here, plus koréos Originals such as S.O.S Stick On Spots hydrocolloid patches and the KORYO Advanced Retinol Microcone Patch, which are only at koréos.
Should I patch test new skincare?
We recommend it, especially with acids, retinoids or sensitive skin. Apply a small amount behind the ear or on the inner arm for 24-48 hours and stop if irritation occurs. Products with AHAs, BHAs or retinoids can increase sun sensitivity, so use sunscreen daily.
Are your products authentic?
Yes. Every item is genuine and sealed in its original brand packaging. Read our Authenticity Promise.

How to use it in your routine
In the morning, cleanse, tone, apply a serum, moisturize and finish with sunscreen. At night, skip the SPF and add a mask or eye cream when you have a few extra minutes.
