Drought and Dehydration

Admit it, many of us have already confused dry skin with dehydrated skin. Besides, who hasn't rushed out to buy an ultra-rich cream thinking it would solve all their tightness problems... only to end up with even duller or more uncomfortable skin? Yes, it's the number one mistake!

→ Quick update:

• Dry skin lacks lipids (and therefore fat).

• Dehydrated skin lacks water (and this can affect all skin types, even oily skin!).

Why is K-Beauty a blessing for thirsty skin? 🤩

1. Work on all layers of the skin.

2. Provide multi-level hydration.

3. Blending technological innovation with powerful natural ingredients.

FAQ: Our Korean Skincare for Dry and Dehydrated Skin 💬

How do I know if I have dry or just dehydrated skin?

Try gently pressing your cheek. If it marks easily, feels tight, and fine lines appear, it's probably dehydration. Dry skin, on the other hand, feels uncomfortable all the time and has a rougher texture.

Can I have oily AND dehydrated skin?

Absolutely. And it's actually very common! Poorly hydrated oily skin produces even more sebum to compensate, which makes blemishes worse. Proper hydration is essential, even for oily skin.

Are oils enough to moisturize the skin?

No. Oils nourish (provide fat), but do not moisturize (provide water). To moisturize, you need humectant active ingredients .

What is the best serum for dry and dehydrated skin?

Without hesitation: SKIN1004 – Madagascar Centella Asiatica 100 Ampoule .
