Korean skincare - where to start?

12 replies

Godesstobe · 06/12/2024 19:24

My DD is 35 and has just had a baby. She has said she would like some Korean skincare for Christmas. I have no idea what to get.

I have already bought her main present so I don't want to spend more than £50. Ideally I would like to get products that fit together into a skincare regime. Is that possible for my budget?

She has good skin which is prone to dryness.

I don't have much spare time to go shopping so I'd really like to buy everything on line from a single shop. Boots seem to have quite a selection.

Any ideas please?

I like Pure Seoul or Beauty & Seoul. Both do mini kits of various brands. Pure Seoul do have a few physical stores too, but have a good selection online.

Boots sell korean skincare now.search korean skincare on the website, a few brands will pop up.beauty of joseon is very popular,also haruharu .get one face wash,one serum from either of the two brands Get the beauty of joseon ginseng eye serum or the bean face mask if you can strech. That will be a faster option than getting stuff from korea or hongkong websites.Dont do amazon its full of fakes.

The Innisfree range is supposed to be good and Boots sell it. The Cherry Blossom cleanser and gel moisturiser are for dryer skin types. I have the cleanser on order but haven't tried it yet.

If she has dry skin, I recommend mainstream K beauty namely Dr Jart Ceramidin cream. Should be able to get 50ml for £35 (or less if on sale). It's wonderful. Or they do ceramidin packages with cream, mask etc.

Dr Jart is great. I love the haruharu wonder rice cleansing oil, and tirtir milk skin toner.

I bought a few bits off Olive Young for my DD. They arrived within a few days too.
