Forms a barrier, locks in moisture and nutrients

Once you get all the nutrients on and into your skin layers, you don't want them to evaporate into the air. That's why you should seal everything in with a firmer product so that the preceding layers are absorbed better to do their job effectively.

Not only do moisturizers seal in your previous skincare steps, but they also actively hydrate your skin. In addition, they form a barrier against pollutants, making it more difficult for fine particles to enter your pores.

Moisturizers come in many different textures. Choose a formula based on your skin type, specific needs, and the changing seasons.

Face Oils

[ Massage a few drops onto your face as a moisturizer, or mix a few drops into other skincare products like serum, lotion, or cream to make them more occlusive ]

A facial oil can be added to your routine depending on the season for anyone who needs an extra boost or wants smoother, softer, and more elastic skin with a natural glow. Great for colder weather and dry, dehydrated, or flaky skin types.

9. EMULSION — Light

[ Pat the product on in the morning or evening after toner and/or treatment ]

Suitable for: oily, acne-prone skin, summer season

A light moisturizer, usually water-based, that is sometimes mistaken as a member of the essence/serum/ampoule family. People with combination or oily skin often prefer emulsions because they have a lightweight texture while still providing ample hydration. If you have dehydrated skin, you can apply an emulsion before your lotion or cream for an added layer of hydration.


9. GEL — Light

[ Pat the product on in the morning or evening after toner and/or treatment ]

Suitable for: oily, combination, acne-prone skin, summer season

Gels often contain humectants such as silicone (dimethicone) or glycerin. The gel texture is typically lighter than creams and some emulsions. Loved for its fresh and weightless feel, gel moisturizers are ideal for hot summer days and oily or acne-prone skin types. Thanks to their light consistency, they help minimize the risk of clogged pores.


9. GEL-CREAM — Medium

[ Pat the product on in the morning or evening after toner and/or treatment ]

Suitable for: all skin types year-round & sensitive skin

Gel-creams are slightly firmer than lotions while maintaining the light, refreshing properties of a gel. Because gel-creams contain more oils and emollients than basic gels, they feel richer on the skin without being heavy. Suitable for all skin types year-round, they are ideal for sensitive skin that needs a good moisture barrier.


9. LOTION — Light / Medium

[ Pat the product on in the morning or evening after toner and/or treatment ]

Suitable for: oily, combination, normal, acne-prone skin (spring, summer, autumn)

Heavier than an emulsion but lighter than a traditional cream. In Korea, this texture is sometimes referred to as a hydrating lotion or lotion-toner. Most lotions are highly versatile and suitable for all skin types depending on the time of year.


9. CREAM — Heavier / Rich

[ Pat the product on in the morning or evening after toner and/or treatment ]

Suitable for: normal, combination, dry skin (autumn & winter)

Creams have a thicker consistency because they contain higher proportions of nourishing oils. This helps reinforce the skin's lipid barrier, making creams ideal for dry or dehydrated skin as well as during colder autumn and winter weather.

Facts: 3 ways of moisturizing

1. Humectants [Attracts Water]

Draw water from nearby environment and humidity in the air to deeply hydrate skin layers.

Common ingredients: Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin, Aloe Vera, AHA, Honey & Propolis, Soluble Collagen, Urea, Sugars, Amino Acids.


2. Emollients [Smoothening]

Fill micro-cracks in the skin barrier, smoothing skin texture. Thinner and easier to spread than heavy occlusives.

Common ingredients: Plant-based oils, animal-based oils, natural plant butters (e.g. shea butter).


3. Occlusives [Moisture Sealing]

Form a physical seal to lock in water and prevent trans-epidermal water loss. Note: Using too many heavy occlusives on acne-prone skin can potentially clog pores.

Common ingredients: Petroleum Jelly, Mineral Oils, Beeswax, Olive Oil, Silicones, Lanolin, Zinc Oxide.

Skin improvement takes patience! It is important to commit to a new skincare routine for at least 1 month, as your skin takes around 28 days to turn over cells. If you notice a positive difference, stick with it for another 2–3 months for maximum results.
