What Korean products do better than others
-
Ultra-sensory formulations, rich in natural active ingredients (fermented plants, snail mucin, probiotics, etc.).
-
Innovative textures: light gels, bi-phase oils, ultra-thin soaked patches.
-
Prices often lower than those of major Western brands... for formidable efficiency.
And in 2025? This philosophy continues to be refined with targeted treatments, even more concentrated in active ingredients and better adapted to the specific needs of each skin type. In other words: your skin, your period. And we'll help you choose.
