Face cream

The best Korean cream for your skin type

Which face cream should you use for your skin type?

How to find the perfect moisturizer for your skin type: From sleep masks and serums to facial cleansers, you'll find that many Korean skin care products contain moisturizing ingredients. A so-called moisturizer is the last product you put on at night and the last one before sunscreen in the morning.

Moisturizing creams come in many types - from gels to emulsions to thick creams - and are designed to refresh the skin and give it intense hydration. To help you narrow down your choices and find the most suitable moisturizer, we've broken down our product recommendations by skin type.

Korean cream for oily skin

There is a longstanding myth that people with oily skin don't need a moisturizer. Due to this misconception, oily skin often becomes even more oily if they refrain from using moisturizer. When the skin lacks the moisture it needs, it can produce even more oil to compensate for the loss.

Bottom line: even if your skin is overly oily, it still needs to be moisturized. By applying a moisturizer regularly, you can actually smooth your skin, reduce wrinkles, and ultimately regulate oil production to reduce oily skin. This also applies to acne prone skin.

Korean cream for dry skin

As the skin ages, oil production slows down and the skin becomes very dry. While a moisturizer is essential for any skin type, it is absolutely essential for dry and aging skin.

If you live in a dry climate or spend a lot of time indoors in heat or air conditioning, you may also experience excessive dryness, which, like aging, can lead to finer lines, wrinkles, dullness, and loss of skin elasticity.

Korean cream for sensitive skin

People with sensitive skin should look for two main qualities in a moisturizer: soothing properties and pure ingredients. Look for natural soothing ingredients like chamomile, calendula, tiger grass, green and white tea, honey, fruit and nut extracts.

Korean cream for combination skin

Combination skin is unique in that it has both dry and oily areas. It can also range from oily skin one day to very dry skin the next day. Since the main problem is the condition of the skin between oily and dry, you should look for skin care products that will balance your skin. Hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and antioxidants are the ingredients that will help you with this.

Korean cream for normal skin

Normal skin gives you a lot more freedom in choosing a moisturizer, but it's still important to choose a cream with a formula that will provide your skin with adequate hydration as the seasons change and external environmental factors change.
