Moisturisers

Korean moisturisers — from gel-light to hanbang-rich

The last step in a Korean routine seals everything underneath it, so the right moisturizer depends less on your skin type than on what you have layered before it — usually a toner and a serum.

At the lighter end, the medicube Collagen Jelly Cream (50ml and 110ml) has a bouncy gel texture that plumps on contact. The COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream sits in the middle — 92% snail mucin, hydrating without heaviness.

For a compromised barrier, the Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream and the haruharu wonder Black Rice 5 Ceramide Barrier Moisturizing Cream are the two to look at, with the SKIN1004 Probio-Cica Enrich Cream for reactive, easily-irritated skin. For dullness, the medicube Deep Vita C Capsule Cream. And at the rich end, the Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream with rice bran water and ginseng.
