Korean Skincare
WHAT IS KOREAN SKINCARE & WHY IS IT SPECIAL?
Countless global beauty experts rave about their new skincare routines inspired by K-Beauty and its effectiveness in achieving healthy and glowing skin. Beauty experts claim that Korea is more than 10 years ahead of the rest of the world in terms of innovation. Some examples would be the sheet masks, jelly masks, sleeping packs, BB cream, CC cream, cushion compacts -all leading trends in beauty and every one of them from south Korea.
Beauty is one of the largest industries in south Korea and Korean customers expect the best. They're always looking for something new and better and invest considerable time and money to take care of their skin. As a result, cosmetics companies constantly invest in research and development to keep up with customers' high demands. Competition among brands is a positive thing for consumers -and the competition among beauty brands in Korea is nothing short of fierce. (without ever sacrificing quality)

Illumin uses Squalane and Bixa Orellana Seed to protect the formula from oxidation while also providing a moisturizing and protective layer to the skin during the procedure. This oil film protects the skin.
Indications include skin rejuvenation, acne, scarring, blackheads, hyperpigmentation, and regulating sebum production.
KrX Green Sea Peel
The Green Sea Peel is a resurfacing treatment that is natural, safe for all fitzpatricks, and safe during pregnancy.
Spicules are quickly becoming the go-to alternative for microneedling. This peel works by driving spicules (800,000 ppm) into the skin, which stimulates collagen, exfoliates, and pulls pigment, all while delivering a polypharmacy of vitamins and nutrients into the skin which helps improve numerous skin concerns.
The Green Sea Peel comes with an activator which is formulated with Hyaluronic Acid, Glucan, Allantoin, and a host of growth factors.
