K‑Beauty continues to be one of my favourite categories to explore, so today I’ve got a new round‑up of products I’ve been loving lately. These all fit perfectly into a hydrating, calming, glow‑boosting routine and don’t forget you can get up to 5% more off at YesStyle with my discount code DANIELLESBB5 (affiliated).
I have really been enjoying having a cleansing oil back in my routine in the form of the Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Cleansing Oil*! This is a lightweight cleansing oil containing soybean oil, ginseng seed oil and micellar technology that easily dissolves makeup and dirt. It also replenishes skin moisture and has a subtle, relaxing ginseng aroma. I use a couple of pumps to massage into my face then emulsify with water and use a face cloth to remove. It leaves my skin cleansed and soft, ready for my next steps! Read more in my Current Cleansers post here!
The Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum* is such a great smoothing serum containing niacinamide and propolis that is calming, hydrating and refines pores. It’s got a thicker texture but absorbs quickly. It also contains BHA’s so works well to exfoliate - if you want a serum that calms, brightens, and improves texture without irritation, this is a must‑have!
Moving onto the current “it” ingredient, PDRN, and the haruharu wonder Rose PDRN Soothing Serum with Azelaic Acid* next. This serum supports skin renewal, calms and improves texture. I’ll talk more about traditional PDRN later but this is vegan PDRN that has been extracted from the stem cells of the Damascus rose, to aid skin renewal and rejuvenation while azelaic acid is known for targeting acne and soothes redness and calms skin irritation. Sodium PCA, Panthenol and Squalane deliver deep hydration. I love using this when I have some active spots as it helps calm them so quickly! The texture is creamy and gel like and sinks in quickly and with consistent use I am hopig to see good results with pigmentation too!
Sticking with Azelaic acid and the Anua Azelaic Acid 10 + Hyaluron Redness Soothing Serum* is another great option for acne prone skin! It’s more watery in texture than the last one and features 10% azelaic acid, along with hyaluronic acid while the green colour comes from Anua’s Gentle Calming Complex of natural ingredients including green tea leaf water, aloe and cica. It’s soothing and calming, reuces redness and hydrates skin, another great serum to have in your skincare arsenal!
Up next is the Anua Azelaic Acid 10 + Hyaluron Redness Soothing Pads* and these are some of the most saturated toners pads I have ever tried! They are drenched in azelaic acid and centella asiatica extract to reduce redness and inflammation as well as hyaluronic acid, ceramide NP and squalane to promote smooth and plump skin. The material of the pads stetches easily and means you can cover larger areas of your face. They are alcohol and fragrance free and suitable for sensitive skin. My skin feels instantly soothed when I use these and the tub is going to last a long time!
The Anua PDRN + Hyaluronic Acid 100 Moisturising Cream* is a lovely lightweight cream perfect for summer! Traditional PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) is a powerful regenerative ingredient made up of DNA fragments derived from the sperm cells of certain trout or salmon. This cream is rich in salmon-derived PDRN (don’t worry, it’s fragrance free!) as well as hydrolyzed collagen, ten types of hyaluronic acid and niacinamide to moisturize, plump and strengthen the skin barrier. The cream absorbs quickly and my skin feels hydrated and balanced while looking brighter, smoother and plumper!
Lastly, the Anua Zero-cast Moisturizing Finish Sunscreen SPF 50+* and K beauty never disappoints me with its sunscreen offerings! This is a chemical sunscreen containing hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and panthenol to moisturise, balance and brighten and the lightweight formula blends easily into skin to leave a glowy (not greasy) finish and no white cast! It wears beautifully under makeup and it perfect for daily wear!
These K‑Beauty favourites are such a joy to use and fit into my routine easily with their calming, hydrating, glow‑boosting formulas! If you’re looking to refresh your skincare lineup, any of these would be a great place to start. Don’t forget, you can get up to 5% more off at YesStyle with my discount code DANIELLESBB5 (affiliated).
