Use: daily, preferably at the end of the day

The Oil-based Cleanser

The oily cleanser works deep to effectively dissolve makeup as well as stubborn residues such as sebum and sunscreen. By massaging a small amount onto dry face in circular motions, it gently removes impurities. When rinsed with lukewarm water, it transforms into a light emulsion, leaving skin clean and fresh without any greasy residue.

The cleanser

This double cleanse method is highly recommended, as it is very likely that the first pass was not enough to remove all the impurities that could cause breakouts. The water-based cleaner is used to remove residues that have a water base, such as perspiration.

Our cleansers

Use: 1 to 2 times a week

The exfoliant

Exfoliation is used to refine skin texture and help minimize the appearance of pores. There are two types of exfoliants: mechanical exfoliants and chemical exfoliants. Both have the same goal: to remove dead cells from the stratum corneum, allowing for better absorption of the products that follow.

Our exfoliants

Use: daily, morning and evening

The tonic lotion

The tonic lotion is used to complete the cleaning by eliminating limescale residues present in the water, as well as impurities which have not been eliminated by the cleaners. It also helps the skin better absorb hydration from treatment creams.

The sheet mask

Sheet masks are the absolute emblem of Korean skincare. The fabric allows for better absorption of active ingredients and in 15 to 20 minutes, your skin is deeply hydrated.

Eye contours

The skin around the eyes requires special attention, as it is thinner and more delicate. Creams intended for this area are moisturizing, decongestant and reduce the appearance of fine lines and dark circles.

Moisturizers come in different forms, such as emulsions or gels, for example. It is essential to know your skin type and needs to choose the formula that suits you. They plump, nourish and hydrate the skin.

Sun protection

This step is very often neglected even though it actively helps to slow down the signs of aging caused prematurely by the sun. It also helps counter the harmful effects that UV rays can cause, such as hyperpigmentation or even skin cancer. This step finalizes the morning skincare routine and can be applied even if you stay indoors.
