Our List Of The Best Korean Moisturisers To Transform Your Skin
#1: Blithe Crystal Iceplant Pressed Serum, $58, Sephora
image

Koreans are known for their innovative beauty products, and pressed serums are just one of their many offerings we love. A serum and moisturiser hybrid, it helps to intensely treat your skin while hydrating at the same time.

Pressed serums are made using a ‘slow cooling’ method over a 36-hour period instead of the usual way of processing ingredients with heat. This supposedly helps to preserve the efficacy of the extracts. They also tend to have a unique texture: it starts off with a jelly-like gel-cream texture, then morphs into a liquid that gets quickly absorbed as you massage it into your face. Visually, it initially looks like a cream but appears more like an essence as you apply it.

This one, in particular, is great for all skin types, even sensitive skin. The calming cream contains iceplant extract which is rich in zinc and minerals to help boost collagen production production and leave your complexion soft and fresh.

#2: The Face Shop The Therapy Royal Made Moisture Blending Cream, $59.90

This has a top layer that is a mixture of essential oils and thalassotherapy water (a healing blend using seawater) and a bottom layer of highly moisturising cream that you can blend yourself with a spatula to activate the ingredients to ensure your skincare is fresh. The lightweight formula delivers instant moisture, strengthens your skin’s protective barrier and plumps skin for an instant glow.

This also helps treat skin that is thin, rough, sensitive and dry. It promotes cell generation in skin, rejuvenates and boosts the overall health of your complexion.
