Korean skincare for teenage girls

6 replies

Dd is 15 with the usual 15 yr old skin- sometimes sensitive, sometimes breakouts, nothing too bad. She has used Effaclar successfully for a couple of years. We travel a lot in the summer and she has had the chance to share rooms and lessons with Korean girls and is fascinated by their skincare- I did dabble a bit on the skincare threads ages ago- but wonder if there are any products anyone would definitely recommend for teens? Masks and such like? It's really for stocking fillers for Christmas rather than anything else! TIA!

Since she's acne prone I'd be careful with a lot of it as it's highly fragranced and contains some common irritants/clogprone ingredients but there are some solid brands like CosRx that are good for teens with acne prone skin. The low pH good morning cleanser is a good one, the pimple patches are really popular as well, the birch sap lotion and overnight rice mask also worth looking at. They have a snail mask, it's okay.

Leegeehaam vita propolis ampoule is quite popular with acne prone skin too but it's a pricey serum.

Was going to suggest cosrx as a starting point too.

I was just looking at Cosrx and scribbling a few things down- excellent, thanks both!

(and I've just slapped a bit of Mizon all-in-one on my own rather more ancient face!)

Check out ASOS and feelunique.com as they both stock good entry level Korean skincare items (so nothing too hardcore for teenage skin)

You should be able to find special sections on their sites for just 'korean brands' or 'korean skincare' etc

I've bought some of the Korean foot peel masks from feelunique for stocking fillers as they are amazing!
