TRENDING KOREAN SUNSCREENS

A Summer inspired selection of Korean skincare products wouldn't suffice without mentioning the most sought after sun protection products of Summer 2022.

SINGLE-INGREDIENT SKINCARE

If you've been in the Korean skincare game for a while you're no stranger to single ingredient Korean skincare products. After all, Korea is recognised for utilising nature-sourced ingredients to their full potential, creating gentle and simplistic skincare formulas which restore skin health.

As we adjust to life after the pandemic, many of us have continued to refine our skincare routines and prefer to stick to gentle skincare formulas that serve their purpose by featuring only the necessary inclusions. Due to the rise in demand for such products, single ingredient toners, essences, and serums that supply soothing and hydrating benefits around the first few steps of a skincare routine have remained popular.

The Mixsoon Soondy Centella Asiatica Essence for example effectively calms irritated skin with 100% undiluted Centella Asistica Extract, providing strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties to help reduce the redness and inflammation of sensitive skin and acne-prone skin types. This NO.1 essence from Mixsoon has undergone rigorous testing, and has been proven to significantly reduce skin irritation by a staggering 27.01%.
