Gentlemen, we know it could be a big ask but we are here to convince you to try the viral K-beauty trend. If you are reading this, we are sure that you are already following and maintaining a proper skin routine–cleansing, moisturising, and sunscreen. Now if you are the one who enjoys experimenting with your products, we have a suggestion–switch a couple of your regular ones to try Korena skincare. The reason? Well-hydrated, nourished, clear, and glass-like skin, and who doesn’t like that? 

If you are aware of current trends, you might know about the K-beauty wave. And if you think it’s just a passing fad, let us tell you that the trend is here to stay. Korean rituals and products are known for their unique formula, advanced technology, deep understanding of skincare and quality ingredients. We have listed six sought-after products that you must try if you are willing to jump on the bandwagon. 

Innisfree Forest for Men Anti-Aging All-in-One Essence 

We get it that it’s enough to get you men to try Korean beauty products; now to expect that you’d follow a few steps in your skincare routine is a lot to ask for. So, we have a solution with this all-in-one solution from Innisfree–it helps control excess sebum, is not sticky, and has anti-ageing properties preventing wrinkles and fine lines. 

Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Cream 

This one is a bit of an investment but there’s no other cream that comes close. For those who are building an anti-ageing skincare routine and looking for products that work, the renewing cream with the most sought-after and expensive Korean ingredient, ginseng, this product delivers what it promises.  

Quench Anti-Shine Moisturizer 

This one is for those who don’t want to splurge on a new product, we get it. Quench products are known for their efficacy and light formulas. Suitable for all skin types, this gel-based, non-greasy, lightweight moisturiser is an intense boost of hydration for the skin. For those struggling with oily skin, this moisturiser also helps control excess oil while keeping the skin hydrated. 

ONE THING Centella Asiatica Extract 

This toner is a must have if you have sensitive skin. Centella asiatica, also known as tiger grass, is known to soothe irritated skin and redness. Ideal to manage moisture and acne, use it after cleansing and before applying the moisturiser. While toning, as a step, can be skipped from a regular routine, this one is a must-try for those who struggle with finding gentle products for their problematic skin. 

Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics 

We are saying it again, sunscreen is a must and if you still haven’t found the one that works for your skin, this SPF 50+ broad-spectrum sunscreen works for all skin types, doesn’t leave any white cast, makes skin look radiant and prevents sun damage. If there’s one Korean product you should buy to start with the K-beauty routine, it should be the Beauty of Joseon sunscreen. 

Laneige Water Sleeping Mask 

This product makes your skin feel like it has gulped gallops of water. Laneige’s widely popular sleeping mask is all you need in your PM routine if dry, dehydrated skin is your concern. Just apply a thin layer on a fresh, clean face and let it do its job while you sleep through the night. You’ll wake up with healthy-looking, nourished skin.
