The very best Korean skincare products, tested for sought-after glass skin
If there weren’t enough skincare products to follow in the United States market, beauty buyers are all about Korea for snagging their lotions and potions.And, rightfully so.Serious Korean skincare users (aka, me) will reason that it’s not a product class — its’ a lifestyle.
That glass skin-producing, snail mucin-y formulation model seems to be working, and with 4 years of slathering everything from Anua to COSRX onto my face, I’ll be the first to tell you that it’s not going anywhere anytime soon.“Korean skincare has the latest skin care ingredient technologies, like fermented ingredients to help the skin with better absorption,” Ginger King, cosmetic chemist and beauty industry expert, told Post Wanted.“They have the exosomes, the latest trend in skin healing.
