The Moisturizer: A Must-Have Step in Korean Skincare

The moisturizer is an essential step in the Korean skincare routine.

It acts as a protective barrier, sealing in the hydration provided by the previous steps (essence, serum, ampoule) and strengthening the skin barrier to keep the skin soft, supple, and resilient against external aggressors.

There are different textures suited to your needs and the time of day:

lightweight, fresh, and non-comedogenic — ideal for mornings or for oily and combination skin that needs hydration without shine.

nourishing and cocooning — perfect for evenings or for dry, sensitive skin that craves extra comfort.

The moisturizer is always the final skincare step before applying sunscreen in the morning.

In the evening, it seals in hydration and supports the skin’s natural regeneration overnight.

👉 When chosen carefully and used daily, a Korean moisturizer helps prevent dehydration, slow down skin aging, and reveal a naturally radiant complexion.

⚠️ Note: Moisturizer should not be applied to the eye area — this delicate zone requires a specific eye cream suited to its thin and sensitive skin.
