How to Choose the Right Korean Skincare Products for Daily Skin Care?
Korean cosmetics are widely known all over the world, and customers choose them for their gentle formulas, innovative ingredients, and attention to the needs of the skin.
To ensure the most suitable and effective choice of products for your skin, it is necessary to take into account a very important – the characteristics or condition of the skin.
What does 7SKIN really mean?
Many of you might think that 7SKIN has something to do with seven layers of skin or something similar. But in fact, it’s much more interesting.
For those familiar with Korean beauty rituals, the meaning behind this name is well known. In Korea, 7SKIN is a classic skincare method designed to restore the skin’s natural moisture balance. The word “skin” here refers to a toner, which helps replenish hydration and prepare the skin for the next steps in your routine.
Our skin is exposed daily to external factors: wind, cold, heat, heating season, dry air. All of these lead to dehydration and tightness. It’s a mistake to think this problem occurs only in winter — skin loses moisture in summer as well.
The 7SKIN ritual is simple and effective: apply toner to cleansed skin in seven layers.
Why toner?
-
In Asian skincare, toners are the lightest products, often almost water-like in texture, and absorb very quickly.
-
Toners instantly replenish skin’s hydration after cleansing, balance moisture levels, and prepare the skin for the next steps.
How to do it?
Pour a little toner into your palms and gently pat it into cleansed skin. The first three layers are absorbed almost instantly. Starting from the fourth layer, absorption slows down, allowing deeper hydration.
In winter and spring, skin is usually more dehydrated and eagerly absorbs every drop of toner, while in summer the process may take a bit longer. Finish the ritual with a rich layer of cream to lock in moisture and prevent evaporation.
The benefits of 7SKIN go beyond hydration: it helps you relax, relieve tension, and even has a positive effect on fine lines and expression wrinkles.
In our online store you will find toners from 7 popular brands, perfect for the 7SKIN ritual:

Skin cleansing
In fact, this very stage of daily skincare is where the acquaintance with Korean cosmetics and the Korean daily facial care routine begins.
Why is that so?
The answer is quite simple — no matter how effective the composition of a skincare product may be, its value is minimal if applied to unclean and unprepared skin.
What is the Korean skin cleansing system?
It consists of two stages:
-
First, makeup, sunscreen, excess sebum, and impurities caused by the environment (dust, city air particles, etc.) are removed. In this first step, a cleansing oil is used.
-
The second step of facial cleansing involves removing the cleansing oil used in the first stage along with any remaining impurities. In this stage, facial cleansing foams are used.
Many women, especially those with oily skin, are afraid of cleansing oils. However, these concerns are unfounded, since the role of a cleansing oil is to clean the skin, and it perfectly removes excess sebum and impurities.
Cleansing oil consists of oils and an emulsifier. When in contact with water, it turns into a gentle emulsion that effectively cleanses the skin and pores while moisturizing and nourishing the skin.
Facial cleansing foams, in turn, represent the second stage of cleansing, performed after the skin has been treated with cleansing oil. In Asia, there is a wide variety of cleansing foams available.
The most common facial cleansing products are:
-
Cleansing gel, which foams into a light lather when in contact with water.
-
Ready-to-use foams in a dispenser bottle — simply press the pump, and the foam is ready to apply to the face.
-
Special cleansing soaps for the face.
-
Special cleansing pastes.
-
Enzyme powder.
Pre-foaming the cleansing product before applying it to the skin prevents dryness and tightness. Applying already-foamed cleanser onto cleansed skin ensures a gentle effect.
What is important to remember about facial cleansing products?
They must never be foamed directly on the face, as this damages the skin’s protective barrier and unnecessarily stretches the skin.
It should also be noted that exfoliation plays a very important role in the cleansing process. It is recommended to use peels 2–3 times a week.
Include gentle enzyme peels in your weekly skincare routine — they can be used at any time of year and there’s no need to be afraid of them.
Try this cleansing routine and observe how your skin changes.

Why are Koreans skeptical about Western cosmetic brands?
Did you know that in South Korea, cosmetic production is strictly supervised by the government and the Ministry of Health?
What does this mean for us – the customers?
It means that every product undergoes thorough testing before reaching store shelves.
In South Korea, the beauty industry works closely with research centers and dermatology laboratories, where in-depth clinical studies are conducted, new formulas are developed, and modern technologies are created to deliver active ingredients into the deeper layers of the skin.
Korean cosmetics are based on science and innovation, not just the latest trend, which is often the case with the marketing and sales strategies of Western brands.
The key difference between Western and Korean brands is philosophy: while the Korean beauty industry is built on a systematic and comprehensive approach to skincare, Western cosmetics often focus on flashy advertising, expensive packaging, and formulations containing only one active ingredient. Moreover, this ingredient is usually found not at the top of the list, but unfortunately only at the bottom.
To summarize, here are the main takeaways:
-
In Korea, customers are knowledgeable and demanding – if a product doesn’t work, it has no place in the market.
-
Western cosmetic brands mostly focus on a single active ingredient, while Korea emphasizes systematization and long-term results.
-
The philosophy of Korean cosmetics is based on a multi-step skincare routine.
That’s why Korean beauty products stand out in the market with their quality and long-term effectiveness, while Western manufacturers often aim to win customers with quick and instant results without a comprehensive long-term approach.
Today, Korean cosmetic brands are a symbol of high-quality standards and a science-based philosophy.

Why to choose Korean cosmetics for daily skincare?
In Korea, daily beauty rituals and treatments are not just another trend or fashion statement. They are an important part of Korean beauty culture. The Korean beauty industry is one of the world leaders, especially in the past decade, with the emergence of highly effective skincare solutions and a strong focus by manufacturers on the latest technologies.
What makes Korean cosmetics different from other brands?
1. Scientific approach and innovation
In South Korea, the beauty industry works closely with research centers and dermatology laboratories, where in-depth clinical studies are conducted, new formulas are developed, and modern technologies are created to deliver active ingredients deep into the skin.
2. Effective ingredients
Korean cosmetics are designed with specific purposes in mind.
- For problematic skin, products with anti-inflammatory, sebum-regulating, soothing, and blemish-reducing properties are developed.
- For atopic and irritated skin, there are special complexes with soothing ingredients that relieve discomfort and restore the skin's protective barrier.
- For sensitive skin, manufacturers offer hypoallergenic lines without aggressive ingredients, ensuring daily care without causing irritation.
- For anti-aging, products may include peptides, enzymes, collagen, PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotides), stem cells, and powerful antioxidants to restore skin elasticity and radiance.
3. Multi-step skincare
Koreans take a completely different approach to daily skincare rituals. It’s not just about applying a cream in the morning and evening — it’s a whole system with multiple stages: cleansing, toning, serum application, emulsion, cream, and SPF. This method ensures the skin gets everything it needs, even in its deeper layers, and speeds up skin regeneration.
4. High quality at an affordable price
Despite the high level of product development and manufacturing, Korean brands are often much more affordable than their Western counterparts, while still providing high quality and effective ingredient complexes.
In summary: Korean cosmetics are based on a scientific approach, natural and safe ingredients, and complexes that target specific skin needs.
