Olive Young is more than Korea’s biggest beauty retailer. It is also a trend forecaster, data company, omnichannel platform and incubator for emerging K-Beauty brands.

In Part 2 of this special, Host Lauren Lee explores how Olive Young connects its physical stores, online platform, rapid delivery and live commerce to create a seamless discovery-led shopping experience. She also examines how its loyalty programme, consumer data and merchandising capabilities help the company identify trends and scale Korean beauty brands.

Plus, she looks at the more complicated side of Olive Young’s rise, including regulatory scrutiny over its supplier practices and the lawsuit involving a lifting mask sold under one of its in-house brands.

Finally, she breaks down Olive Young’s international expansion strategy, what went wrong with the launch of its dedicated US platform, the competition it faces from Amazon, Sephora and Ulta, and whether its platform model could support a successful return to China.

Learn how the company built an ecosystem that helped shape the modern K-Beauty industry, why Harvard Business School chose Olive Young as the subject of a case study, and what global retailers can learn from its approach to merchandising, supplier relationships and brand building.

Plus, Lauren explores why Olive Young's "beauty playground" concept resonated so strongly with Korean consumers, the role of Korea's OEM/ODM ecosystem in its success, and why supporting emerging brands has been central to the company's growth.

Lauren shares the worst K-Beauty products and formats she personally tried in 2025 and explains why they failed in real-world use. This episode is a follow-through from the previous discussion on K-Beauty marketing trends that need to die in 2026, focusing on how hype, sensation and viral appeal often break down when products meet real skin.

For full show notes and resources, visit STYLE STORY

This episode covers:

  • The positioning of grinding cleansing balms on social media versus actual use
  • Cheilitis (inflammation of the lips) being linked to one of Korea (and Lauren’s) most beloved lip tints
  • Why “mineral” sunscreen marketing can be misleading and why it matters for those with sensitive skin and conditions like rosacea
  • How K-Beauty marketing increasingly rewards spectacle and sensation over routine-friendly design

Lauren also explains why these experiences are not isolated product failures, but oftentimes symptoms of a broader K-Beauty marketing problem. In the last few years a lot of products have been optimised for novelty, texture shots and performance on short form social media rather than optimised for daily use.

This episode is not about shaming brands or people who might love the products but about understanding how skincare claims, formats and ingredient choices interact with real skin biology.

Products Mentioned in this Episode

Dr. Melaxin Eyephalt Cream

Grinding cleansing balms

Rom&nd lip tints

Some By Mi mineral sunscreen

K-Beauty marketing reached a breaking point in 2025. Scientific language became performance, clinical procedures were mimicked with cosmetics and skincare education was replaced by spectacle. In Episode 275 of The Korean Beauty Show podcast, K-Beauty expert and industry consultant Lauren Lee examines the K-Beauty marketing trends that need to die in 2026 and why they matter for consumer trust, regulation and skin health.

This episode covers:

  • How exosome skincare lost its scientific meaning and why Korean regulators intervened
  • Why topical PDRN marketing blurred the line between cosmetics and injectable treatments
  • The ongoing misuse of spicules marketed as “microneedling in a bottle”
  • How oversized skincare PR stunts promote overconsumption and environmental waste
  • Why skincare theatre and viral gimmicks undermine skincare education and credibility

Lauren also explains how misleading skincare marketing creates regulatory risk, confuses consumers and has the potential to damage long-term trust in the Korean beauty industry.

In an industry built on speed, duplication and sometimes more hype than integrity, this brand is doing things differently, from farming its own Centella on Jeju Island to rejecting fear-based clean beauty narratives.

The Korean beauty industry is responsible for launching many of the top trending innovations in the global beauty industry for the last 15 years. This year's biggest trend so far is personalization. From colour analysis, to MBTI and made-for-you foundations, it seems everyone in Korea wants skincare, beauty and even makeup that's personally tailored to them.

But is the latest personalization trend going to stick around or are there too many barriers for most brands looking to jump on it? Lauren discusses on episode 238 of the Korean Beauty Show podcast.

There's one trend on everyone's lips for the beauty industry in 2024. It's multifunctional beauty products! While this trend isn’t exactly a new one, there’s no denying it’s not going anywhere soon. On episode 222 of the Korean Beauty Show podcast we explore.

Access Full Show Notes: https://stylestory.com.au/blogs/podcast/multifunctional-skincare-from-korea

Episode Summary:

Korea has been focused on multifunctional beauty products for several years, thanks in part to the impact of the pandemic and also in part due to the continued push towards sustainability. Multifunctional skincare products hit on a couple of key trends that consumers are presently invested in. Firstly, condensing their beauty routines and using fewer products in the interests of saving money.

The cost of living crisis in many countries around the world has forced some beauty consumers to tighten their belts. They're consequently looking to do "more with less".

For others, the desire to do the "right thing" by the environment and cut down on unnecessary steps in their skincare routine has propelled their move towards multi-functionality.

In addition, multi-functional products have always been popular among the jet-set crowd, looking to take fewer (and less spill-ier) products with them on the road.

Whatever the reason, we can expect products that achieve several goals within formula to continue to gain popularity.

Jelly Ko’s Gelato Glaze Lip Mask Launch

  • This was our first ever event out of COVID restrictions because we launched our brand in the peak of the pandemic at the end of 2020
  • Guests ate macarons, gelato-shaped jellies, drank Prosecco and champagne and tried out our collection

About Gelato Glaze Lip Mask

  • Ingredients

  • Lysine and 8 essential amino acids support healthy skin, while decadent oils and butter give your lips a plump sheen.

  • Shea butter is soothing and nourishing, making it perfect for chapped lips.
  • Sunflower Seed Oil is high in essential fatty acids, which helps to lock in moisture.
  • Jojoba Seed Oil is rich in vitamin B and E, which helps to condition the skin and replenish moisture levels.
  • Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil helps to keep your lips soft and smooth.
  • Orange Peel Oil is helpful at soothing dry, irritated skin
  • No artificial dyes or colours

  • How to use

  • to hydrate, plump and smooth lips

  • before makeup to ensure makeup glides on and

  • overnight as a lip sleeping mask.

  • Process of making it

  • We started working on it in early 2022 and it will be ready in mid-June 2023

  • For this release we were really committed to improving our sustainability credentials so we completely changed packaging manufacturers for our boxes.

  • Packaging

  • Our boxes are made from 100% recycled paper and printed using soybean ink
  • The container for each lip mask is made of a lightweight glass packaging
  • The spatula is a 100% recyclable zinc

  • Why we made it

  • Multifunctional: the product hydrates, plumps, glazes and nourishes lips and can be used in place of lip sleeping masks and glosses.
  • Different texture to the other products on the market because of the unique blends of oils, butters and waxes.

  • Confusion in Korea over what vegan actually means
  • How Many Skincare Steps Are Too Many?

Question of the Week - How much does it cost to start a brand in Korea?

This question is nearly impossible to answer without knowing what you're manufacturing. Basically how long is a piece of string? Without knowing the brand concept, how many products are involved, whether you're manufacturing from scratch or using ready-made formulas it's not really possible to give an accurate estimate.

New Podcast Review for the Korean Beauty Show Podcast

Best Beauty Podcast Ever! by Guzheng Girl

I LOVE this podcast! During 2020 I started to get really into beauty and the health of my skin. I particularly wanted to take the K-Beauty approach towards skincare and makeup. You can image my reaction when I found this podcast! As a working professional in the beauty industry and a long time resident of Seoul, Lauren is so knowledgeable on all things K-Beauty, beauty news, and Korean culture. You’ll find little mention of “glass skin” on this podcast. Instead Lauren covers topics such as Korean beauty treatments and procedures, celebrity skincare, toner trends, product releases, ‘untact’ skincare, and so much more! I highly recommend this podcast to anyone who is interested in beauty and even those who aren’t! Lauren is great and thanks to her my skin is looking it’s best!

Recommendation of the Week Article in the Guardian talking about the "rise of K everything".

New Kbeauty reviews on STYLE STORY

  • 23 Years Old Aqua Bab Modelling Mask - 5 stars
  • Beautiful Skin

"I've used many face masks, however the 23 Years Old Aqua Bab Modeling Mask is by far the best I've used. I received a box which contains 4 uses. Its quite easy to make and use, the instructions are very easy to follow. Basically mixing sachet 1 then 2 and using the little mixing/application stick. The texture is quite thick, I was surprised at how well it held onto my face and stayed there as I did apply a thick layer all over my face.

The mask has a nice cool effect and when it dries it didn't feel stiff or dry on my skin. It felt quite nourishing and soft - a little like a jelly feel. To remove the mask I started from the bottom and rolled it upwards. It was super easy and clean to come off. I then gently patted the excess into my skin.

The results were amazing! My skin was super hydrated and I felt like my pores and fine lines were less visible. I had an instant glow to my skin. I applied the mask in the AM so I could enjoy the benefits of the mask throughout the day. My makeup applied so beautifully, I had a really nice flawless look without the effort. I am so happy with the 23 Years Old Aqua Bab Modeling Mask. definitely a holy grail product for me! I highly recommend!"

  • Jelly Ko Dewy Glaze Toner - 5 Stars
  • So glowy
  • Never had such glowy skin since using this toner. Love adding into my routine.

  • iUNIK Centella Bubble Cleanser

  • Best cleanser
  • I have been buying this quite often as the foam is very subtle to my face and love the feeling of my skin refresh after shower.

  • Real Review for the Korean Beauty Show Podcast

  • Fun and Informative by Nicky
  • "I absolutely love this podcast and have listened to every episode. Host Lauren Lee is amazing and when she says she is a K-beauty expert, she absolutely means it. Whether you are interested in some of the nitty-gritty details on how ingredients work or want to learn about the latest trends in Seoul, this podcast has it covered. It’s also fun to learn about her journey creating the brand JellyKo. But my favorite thing about this podcast is how intelligent, honest and ethical Lauren is when presenting information. I can really count on it to be factual and trust it to guide what I put on my face, which is a big deal!"

Latest Kbeauty Reviews on STYLE STORY  5 star review Jelly Ko Cherry Blossom Sleeping Mask   Beaut-i-ful "Putting it on feels like a spa treatment, and my skin is so soft and smooth the next day! Like if I happen to touch my face during the day the next day, I stop in my tracks for a second and just think “wow” - so soft, so smooth!" 5 Star Review forCharmzone Retinol Emulsion Beautiful product "I've been using this product for a short time and absolutely love it! If not only feels beautiful on my skin but hydrates it beautifully. Oh, and the scent is amaaaaazzzing. I can use this product after toner and then apply sunscreen and people often comment about how good my skin looks. Will definitely continue to use this product. Highly recommended :)" Review for Subi Perfect Pimple Patch  The longer you wear them, the better the results "What impressed me most about this product is that it smoothed / evened out the skin like nothing I’ve ever seen before! I found that the longer I was able to keep the patches on, the better results I got. The best result came after I accidentally left a patch on for a whole day and night. I move around a lot when I sleep and I found that sometimes I would put a patch on before bed and wake up to find it gone. Would love if they had a few more patches in the packet as I lost a few of them this way! Will definitely be repurchasing though as the post-inflammatory pigmentation/acne scars that these patches save you from is priceless." 

Latest Kbeauty Releases on STYLE STORY - I Dew Care 

I DEW CARE creates fun skin care that is as colorful as it is effective. The Korean brand makes products for oily and blemish-prone skin, dry and depleted skin and dull skin. 

Popular I DEW CARE products include the Juicy Kitten Purifying Power-Green Serum and the Bright Side Up Brightening Vitamin C Serum, all of which are vegan friendly, cruelty-free and 100% made in Korea.

Question of the Week ​​- DIY Sheet Masks

"Can you give details about the best toners or serums to use and the type of cotton pads (I assume the Aus style are great for this)?

I have Pyunkang Yul 1/3 Pads and the APLB Noni serum, which I bought for this purpose (to justify buying a serum I didn’t really need). I also convinced myself it would be more economical and environmentally friendly not having individual wrapped masks (not sure if that is actually the case though). Would be keen to hear your thoughts on the best way to DIY."

Korean toners mentioned: Pyunkang Yul  COSRX Propolis Synergy Toner Jelly Ko Dewy Glaze Laneige Cream Skin Refiner iUNIK Vitamin Hyaluronic Acid Toner ISNTree Hyaluronic Acid Toner Any of the One Thing toners and extracts

New K-Beauty Product Reviews

Jelly Ko Bubble Tea Steam Cream 

"Great product

This feels amazing, soft & so moisturised on the skin. Love it 😍

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask"

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask

"Just what my lips needed 

I love this lip sleeping mask! My lips get dry and cracked easily and I'll put this on at night and wake up with nice soft lips in the morning. The scent is pleasant but it doesn't leave a taste, which is nice. I will definitely buy again when this one is gone." 

APLB Pink Sheet Mask

"Best sheet mask  

This sheet mask is really so good!

Whenever I use a sheet mask in our region (western style) my skin gets pimples and irritation. When you put on this mask it unifies with your skin. 

After using it your skin feels so hydrated and all the red spots disappear. Even the day after."

"My first order of K-beauty products is likely one of the best things I've done for my skin.  I wanted this BB cream in No.23 and it was out of stock, so in my eagerness I ordered No.27 just to try it.  I'm in my low 60s and was looking for something with good coverage and not settle in creases.  It was a little too dark for me so I diluted a tiny amount with my sunscreen and it's AMAZING!  You only need a very small amount and the coverage stays neat all day without feeling weighed down.  Thank you StyleStory :)"

Episode Summary 

If you use beauty products, it’s impossible not to have heard of clean beauty. These days you’ll see Korean beauty companies claiming that their products are “Free from Nasties”,  use “Green Level Ingredients Only”, are “EWG Green Grade Approved”, “Toxin Free” and “Sustainability Friendly”. 

When the average consumer sees this they think, “Great! I want my products to be clean. Well, I certainly don’t want dirty products!”

It’s only natural that you want your products to be good for your health and good for the environment. 

But what if all of this was based on a lie?

On today’s episode, we’re covering:  What is Clean Beauty? What’s the legal definition of clean beauty? What are the blacklisted ingredients? What’s the problem with clean beauty? Why are natural products not necessarily safer than those containing synthetic chemicals? Why can’t you make a blanket rule about whether a particular cosmetic ingredient is good or bad? Are clean beauty products worth paying more for?

K-BEAUTY REVIEWS OF THE WEEK  Real Review for the K-Beauty All Star Set “I really didn’t know where to start in terms of using a kbeauty process so I emailed staff. Received a really helpful comment back recommending this pack as a starting point to get a feel for different products. Best advice ever.  Really enjoyed trying and using these products and have now moved on to purchasing some of the products to use on a regular basis. Thanks so much Style Story.” Review for Jelly Ko Cherry Blossom Sleeping Mask   “Can I just say wow?! This mask has blown all other gels out of the water. A heavyweight gel that packs a punch. I don’t know if I can look at other gels the same. I may have found the one for life for me! This rich texture of this one makes it great for all skin types. My only con is the floral scent. It is not very potent and does not stay for long, but I’m not the hugest fan of them.”

EPISODE SUMMARY:

KBEAUTY NEWS HEADLINES: Is the EWG Setting back the future of the Korean cosmetics industry? Ahn Insuk, Director of Korea’s Institute of Dermatological Sciences says that green grade rating systems like those used on Hwahae and rating systems like the EWG are actually setting back the future of the Korean beauty industry.  In a video released to her YouTube channel, she explained that she doesn’t think it’s necessary to check whether cosmetics contain harmful ingredients for the human body.  Lauren discusses her thoughts on this and the proliferation of brands claiming to avoid so-called “harmful ingredients.”

Watch Ahn Insuk’s Video “The Truth About Cosmetic Ingredients” Here: https://youtu.be/MQAaEmpOYas

QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What are Cleansing Sticks?

New Kbeauty Products on STYLE STORY: Hanyul Yuja Face Oil (30ml) is ideal for those with dull, fatigued, tired looking skin. Hanyul's Yuja Face Oil contains 82% Yuja extract, providing skin with a rich antioxidant boost. 5% Niacinamide acts as a brightening powerhouse to help reduce the appearance of spots and dull skin. Hanyul Pure Artemisia Watery Calming Toner (150ml) is a calming toner that contains baby mugwort to provide a soothing effect on skin. It can also improve skin's texture and appearance.

Korean Beauty Product Reviews of the Week: 5 star review for d’Alba Piedmont First Spray Serum.  So worth the price “Wow! Never again will I buy the cheap sprays that supposedly "hydrate" your skin when all they really do is have the opposite effect. This stuff is actual skin care in a spray bottle. You can feel the mist of serum on your skin and it actually hydrates - I use it all throughout the day if I feel dry or if I want to feel fresh or refresh my makeup. It's so good for travelling on a flight as well. It is expensive but so so worth it and it lasts ages.” 5 Star Review for One Thing Centella Asiatica Toner In love “Hydrates my skin and soooo suitable for those with sensitive to combination skin types.”

I also spend a lot of time in water & in the sun (with sunscreen on) but unfortunately that doesn't stop my barrier becoming a little sensitive over the day, this cream soothed my skin irritation immediately & I can tell it is perfect for these times as it doesn't sting at all when applied. I even tried it on someone else's skin that seemed to have a bit of irritation on their cheeks & it soothed the irritation instantly It has wonderful soothing ingredients like glycerin, niacinamide & colloidal sulphur making it perfect for rosacea sufferers like myself. The only thing is that it doesn’t have the nicest scent but in my experience, anything that works really well doesn’t. Love it” Ideal for calming, soothing and improving troubled skin.  Whether you are dealing with acne spots or scars, this is a great addition to your skincare routine.  This product was this round’s STYLE STORY Testers Club product

Popular Korean Eyelash Treatments In 2022, there is a move away from lash extensions and towards lash tints and lifts. Results last for about 6 weeks and you can apply mascara over the top. Basically once your lashes grow out, it’s time to go in for a retouch.  Looking for a salon in Seoul? Try Chloe Eyelash in Mapo Gu

Popular Korean Nail Art Trends  Korean nail trends are always changing but gel nails in general are the most popular. Nearly everyone in Korea does nail art as well, rather than just a simple one colour Nail art in Korea is very seasonal, so you will notice most shops have a Christmas themed nail selection for December, cherry blossom / floral themed in spring, beach themed in summer, autumnal palette in fall etc.  However, the techniques being used are what changes. At the moment, donut nails are really popular. This is a technique where a little bit of polish is used to create raised designs on the nails. Originally, they were being done in donut-like shapes, which is why they were called donut nails. Now, I see artists using them in a variety of shapes.  Korean nail salons operate a little differently than western salons. Here, it’s common for salons to offer memberships. Most salons also have ‘monthly nail art specials’, where they will pre-prepare some set designs for the month at a discounted rate.  

KOREAN EYEBROW TRENDS Brow Tattoos  Brow tattooing has always been popular and this trend is continuing in 2022. Because only your eyes and eyebrows can be seen above COVID masks a lot of people have been keeping up with their lash and brow treatments. Micro-shading, giving the brows a soft and powdery look, is very popular Quite a quick procedure - it takes a few hours at most. The after-care is a little time consuming though. If you are looking for a skilled tattoo artist in Korea, I can highly recommend Jisoo from Abil. 

Brow Lift More and more people are doing a procedure called a brow lift, which is just a simple perm procedure to enhance the look of the eyebrows. It’s called a brow lift in Korean, but in English a brow lift is an actual surgical procedure. This is similar to a lash lift, where you are just using your own natural eyebrow hairs but making them look a bit cleaner, clearer and stand out a bit more. It lasts about a month - 1.5 months. The prerequisite is that you do actually need some eyebrow hairs so this is not a good procedure for people who don’t have a good set of brow hairs to begin with. A lot of people end up doing a lift and tint at the same time to really bring out the line of their eyebrows.

On today’s episode, Lauren discusses the top 5 trends that will be making waves in the Korean beauty industry in 2022. From the once maligned retinol to fragrance, some of them might surprise you!

1 Retinol & Bakuchiol 

K-Beauty has traditionally shied away from retinol due to all the perceived and real pitfalls of it. However, I am seeing more and more releases featuring retinol and bakuchiol, which is touted as a natural retinol alternative. 

We have already seen releases from 23 Years Old, Chosungah 22, Innisfree, Charmzone amd APLB and I suspect we will see even more.  

Multi Use Products

K-Beauty is definitely moving further away from intricate routines in favour of paired down products that do more with less. People are using their toner to double as a mask, with cotton pads instead of mask sheets. And many multi-use products are hitting the market as well. 

Jelly Ko Bubble Tea Steam Creamis really a 3-in-1 of a serum, oil and moisturizer

Subi Brightening Powder Cleanser - light exfoliator and cleanser

Subi Holo Dream- pore blurring makeup primer and exfoliating clay mask  Sustainability

Korea’s new recycling label regulations have already come into effect. Brands are now required to indicate how easy or difficult a product is to recycle. More brands are opting for things like label-less products, some are offering recycling stations and there are increasingly more sustainable packaging options being produced as well.  Vegan

This is not a new trend in K-Beauty but what is new is how many mainstream brands are picking up on the vegan trend. Tony Moly, d’Alba and quite a few brands that have traditionally not focused specifically on vegan formulas or products are now offering vegan lines. I can’t seem to jump on a subway in Seoul at the moment without seeing an ad for a new vegan skincare or makeup line. 

5 Fragrance

The market for fragrance products has seen an unprecedented expansion both in size and type of products, with more consumers, especially those in their 20s and 30s, keen to experience new fragrances. 

According to Euromonitor, Korea’s fragrance market grew 36.4 percent from 2018 to 2019, and is projected to reach 650 billion won ($547.5 million) by 2023.

Especially during the pandemic, people are buying things like incense, perfumes, scented candles and even skincare products with distinct scents. More K-Beauty brands are running with signature fragrances for their products - like Huxley, Tamburins. 

CJ Olive Young has reported a surge of nearly 90 percent in sales in the category over the past year.

Episode Summary:

Korean News Headlines - MFDS’s Makes Moves Towards Clean Beauty 

The South Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) is poised to ban the use of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and eight perfluorinated compounds in cosmetics. Because consumers are gravitating towards clean beauty products, the regulators are under pressure to ensure that cosmetic products contain fewer perceived “harmful ingredients”.

Question of the Week - Why Does Everyone on Singles Inferno Say “Let’s Chat Casually”

If you’ve ever watched a Korean TV show you’ll notice the characters or participants sometimes say things that don’t really translate that well in English. So what do they really mean when they say, “Let’s chat casually” or “I’ll leave first”? We explore. 

New Product Releases

Exciting news for K-Beauty lovers in the States. Two hit Kbeauty brands are now available online in the States at Verishop.com - Subi Beauty and Jelly Ko. Subi Brightening Powder Cleanser Subi Bare Skin Balm  Subi Holo Dream Brightening Pore Minimizing Mask   Subi Perfect Pimple Patch   Jelly Ko Bubble Tea Steam Cream  Jelly Ko Cherry Blossom Sleeping Mask

When it comes to acids, you’ve probably seen a few acronyms popping up over and over – AHAs, BHAs and PHAs.  

Today, we’re jumping in to take a look at the three most common types of acids and how to use them in your routine.   

Episode Summary: 

Exfoliants have come a long way since your first apricot scrub. While exfoliating has always been a big part of skincare routines, these days the chemicals are taking the spotlight 

What do all they mean?

AHA, BHA and PHA are the most common types of acids used in skincare today. If you’re using acids in your products, chances are it’s one of these three.  

AHAs

Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) are the original gangster of skincare acids.

Naturally found in fruits, water-soluble AHAs such as lactic or glycolic acids gently melt away dead skin cells. They also stimulate the cell regeneration process, making for great anti-ageing benefits. They are also perfect for drier skin.

AHAs can benefit pigmentation, help to even out skin tone, preserve moisture and even reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Try: COSRX AHA Whitehead Power Liquid and Commleaf AHA Green Tea Peeling Liquid.  

BHAs

Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHA) are a gentler alternative to AHAs. 

Salicylic acid is the most commonly used BHA today. Containing many of the same benefits as AHAs, the fat solubility of BHAs dissolve oil and makes them effective on blocked pores, blackheads, whiteheads and acne.

BHAs also have anti-inflammatory properties and soothe redness.

Try: Benton Aloe BHA Skin Toner, COSRX Natural BHA Skin Returning A-Sol and ISNTree Clear Skin BHA Toner     

PHA

The new kid on the block, Poly Hydroxy Acids (PHAs) work similarly to AHAs in that they also melt away dead skin cells.

What makes PHAs different is that their molecules are larger. This means they take longer to work, which makes them perfect for light exfoliation on very sensitive skin. They are even recommended for sensitive or easily irritated skin. For mature skin types, PHA is also a good option as it helps preserve collagen levels.

Want to try all three together?! Try SOME BY MI’s cult-favourite AHA BHA PHA line!

Practical Tips

Stay Sun Safe!

It probably goes without saying, as you should already be using a high SPF product in your skincare routine, but if you want to introduce acids, then SPF is essential. Acids can work wonders with exfoliation, but they do make your skin more sensitive to the skin, so be religious about reapplying as well. 

Make sure you don’t overdo it on the acids. 

Combining them can cause irritation, so if you are prone to dry skin, sensitivity or redness, stick to just one. On the other hand, if you have oily skin, combining BHAs and AHAs may be safe and even beneficial.

A word of caution though – if you notice any redness, sensitivity, or excessive dryness, that’s a sign to slow down with your acids. Cut back to using them 2-3 times a week and alternate between your acids.

If you’re layering them, start with your BHA first. 

Think of layering acids like double cleansing – start with your oil-soluble BHA first, and then move onto your AHA.

BHAs are typically formulated to be a pH of 3.5 and AHAs have to be formulated at a pH of under 4. 

You’ll want to use your BHA product first, not only because 

BHAs are lower in pH but also because they are oil soluble and AHAs are not.

Korean sunscreens are beloved by beauty lovers for their cosmetically elegant formulas that don’t leave a white cast and blend well with makeup. Unfortunately, they’re not often available for sale in many overseas markets due to differences in regulation. 2020-2021 was a bad year for Korean sunscreens with a series of controversies engulfing many brands and manufacturers. Today, we’re starting a deep dive into this part of the industry, investigating cosmetic regulation and manufacturing in Korea.

Episode Summary:

K-Beauty News Headlines Korea's cosmetics exports reached a new record last year. According to the Korea Customs Service, Korea exported US$6.12 billion of cosmetics in 2020, up 14.8 percent from the previous year  In the first quarter of this year, exports grew by 32.4% year-on-year with skincare products leading the way, with an increase of 24%. Makeup sales were down, likely due to the impact of working from home and mask wearing.    The biggest importers of Korean cosmetics are China, Hong Kong, the US, Japan and Vietnam  Korea's imports of cosmetics fell 10.7% on-year in 2020 to $1.07 billion.

A few things to note about the K-Beauty industry generally  Size of market is huge, as evidenced by latest export figures Dominated by two players - Amore Pacific and LG Household and Health Care   It is literally no exaggeration to say that Korea’s national economy was built on export. After the Korean War, the country was decimated, and had a GDP the size of countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. Korea is now the world’s 10th largest economy. The turnaround is 100% due to Korea’s exports. As a country, Korea has few natural resources so to speak of; instead, they build things and then sell them overseas. Historically, the government identified sectors to focus on for its exports, things like cars, semiconductors etc. These days, cosmetics are also at the top of the list.  KOTRA, the national trade agency, plays a huge role in promoting and assisting companies to export overseas.

K-BEAUTY NEWS HEADLINES - Korea Cracks Down on False Advertising Claims 

The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) recently published a notification of cosmetics violating the advertisement requirements. As online shopping for homecare products surged during COVID 19 pandemic, MFDS inspected over 500 cosmetics sold online, finding that 336 products made false claims of medical efficacies, most of which were cellulite cream. 

Phrases like “scar treatment” and “fat reduction” were being used to describe ordinary cosmetics, rather than registered drugs and treatments. 

In Korea, cosmetics are products that “apply, rub, spray, etc. to the human body in order to clean, beautify, maintain or improve the health of skin and hair, and have minor effects on the human body.” By their definition, these are not products that have ‘medical’ effects’ and therefore brands need to be very careful in the types of claims they make about products that are ordinary cosmetics. 

The authority emphasized the importance of promoting products legally, and showed the examples of non-compliance advertisement cases for brands to use as a guide.

K-Beauty for Mature Skin - Episode 58

As we age, the metabolism of our cells becomes slower and tell-tale signs of ageing emerge. Skin becomes drier and finer in texture, and starts to lack in tone and firmness. Age spots and pigmentation can also appear, which contribute to a more uneven looking complexion.

While no beauty products can turn back the hands of time, there is no reason you can’t look and feel your best at every age and keep your skin in tip-top shape. That’s why today, I’m sharing the best Korean Beauty products for mature skin.

Korea is famous for its day spas, dermatologists and plastic surgery clinics, in part thanks to a variety of treatments that aren’t available overseas. But the other thing they have in common is their use of clinical Korean skincare brand; the type of products you’ll usually only find at an aesthetician in western countries. Today, we’re exploring what they are, how they’re different from non-clinical brands and some of the top trending clinical K-Beauty brands.

With the popularity of a vegan lifestyle continuing to grow, many Korean skincare companies are now focusing on the vegan beauty market, with some brands even focusing solely on vegan formulations.In line with the growing trend towards cruelty-free skincare and makeup (cosmetic testing on animals has been officially outlawed in Korea), brands are now firming their stance that no animals need to have suffered for your beauty at any stage of the product’s lifecycle.

This was a requested episode from one of our listeners, who was interested to know the causes of sensitive skin and whether sensitivity is only caused by a broken skin barrier? If there are different causes of sensitivity, should people treat sensitive skin differently based on the cause?

Today, we’re taking a look at the best Korean skincare for sensitive skin. We’ll explore the root causes of skin sensitivity, plus some of the best K-Beauty ingredients to care for it. 

WHY DOES SKIN BECOME SENSITIVE? Skin can become sensitive thanks to a variety of external environmental factors. This includes things like pollution, sun exposure and artificial heating. More problematically, sometimes skin even becomes sensitive as a result of the use of incorrect or harsh skincare products or incompatible ingredients. This can erode the skin’s barrier and open it up to bacteria and other aggravations.

External factors can result in skin becoming dry, red, uneven and make it look older, with larger pores.

HOW TO AVOID SENSITIVE SKIN:

Avoid ingredients that don’t agree with your skin I don’t like fear-mongering in skincare and I certainly don’t agree with a blanket ban on all types of ingredients that some influencers and bloggers like to push. 

The truth is that nearly all common ingredients in skincare products are fine for the vast majority of people. They wouldn’t be in the products if they were toxic or harmful because very few companies are in the business of courting lawsuits and product recalls. 

That’s not to say that some ingredients don’t agree with some people, but blanket ruling out entire categories of ingredients in skincare products is akin to extreme diet culture in my books. For most people, all things in moderation is the recipe for healthy skin. 

Some ingredients that can be problematic for some skin types include: Dyes Fragrances Parabens Alcohols Preservatives Sulfates Phthalates and Acids Coconut oil Lanolin Essential oils Isopropyl palmitate

Make sure you always patch test any new skincare products you buy so that you can eliminate any that don’t agree with you.

Using a product or ingredients that’s not right for your skin can result in painful breakouts, bumps and clogged pores that can take weeks to clear. 

Don’t use water that’s too hot I know how tempting it is to jump into a hot shower or bath. But if you’re trying to aggravate your skin, this is a good way to go about it. When cleansing your face especially, it’s best to stick to lukewarm water and don’t towel-dry off too aggressively.

Avoid over-exfoliation We’ve previously covered the dangers of over-exfoliatingskin, but it bares repeating: Overdoing it with your scrubs and acids can result in everything from: excessive dryness irritation redness breakouts; and even a burning sensation on the skin.

The reason is that exfoliation targets the outer layer of the skin. Once this layer is compromised, the skin is unable to perform its barrier function as healthy skin cells are disrupted.

Don’t leave the house without sunscreen Hopefully this goes without saying, but you should never leave the house without sunscreen.

That is unless you fancy anything from sun spots and skin discolorations, to red veins, blotchiness, premature wrinkles, skin sensitivity and even the risk of skin cancer.

SENSITIVE-SKIN FRIENDLY K-BEAUTY INGREDIENTS If you’re looking for Korean skincare ingredients that work for most sensitive skin types try: 

Allantoin – extracted from the comfrey plants, this ingredient stimulates skin cell regeneration to heal and protect sensitive skin while also softening and soothing.

Burdock root – this is a plant extract that soothes skin and acts as an antioxidant.

Centella asiatica – not only is it effective in treating wounds, this famous Asian plant also aids in healing incisions and burns, by promoting collagen production and inhibiting the inflammation that leads to scarring.

Green tea – the polyphenols in green tea have potent antioxidant and skin-soothing properties, making it ideal for sensitive skin.

Licorice – thanks to its glabridin content, licorice helps protect skin from environmental stressors that cause sensitivity.

Madecassoside – one of the bioactive compounds in Centella asiatica, this ingredient serves as an antioxidant and has been shown to be non-sensitizing. It helps to revitalize skin’s surface.

Panthenol - also known as Provitamin B5, is the alcohol form of vitamin B5. When skin care products containing Provitamin B5 are absorbed by the skin, the provitamin is converted to Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), which moisturises, calms, repairs and revitalizes skin.

Adenosine functions as a skin soothing and restoring agent.

THE BEST KOREAN BEAUTY PRODUCTS FOR SENSITIVE SKIN 

If you’re already suffering from sensitivities, these are some products that can help: 

Benton Aloe Propolis Soothing Gel– this moisturising gel contains natural, gentle ingredients with no alcohol or fragrance. It helps soothe irritated skin and maintain the correct level of hydration.

Jelly Ko Cherry Blossom Sleeping Mask - contains allantoin, adenosine and panthenol, which are both on the sensitive skin friendly list and skips out on alcohol, silicone, essential oils, mineral oil, sulfate detergents, parabens, urea, DEA, PEGs, TEA and phthalates. The light gel texture is very soothing. 

APLB Derma Daily Repair Cream– Harnessing the power of peptides plus skin brightening niacimamide, hydrating sodium hyaluronate and wrinkle-fighting ceramides, this intensive daily repair skin is just the ticket for dry, dull, lacklustre, sensitive and aging skin.

Tosowoong Pure Green Tea Mask – bathed in high quality green tea extract, this mask relieves sensitivities with vitamins and minerals that deeply hydrate, visibly plump, calm and protect skin.

Benton Aloe Soothing Mask Pack – this gentle face mask offers soothing, hydrating, nourishing, cooling and revitalising benefits to sensitive, easily-irritated skin.

iUNIK Centella Calming Gel Cream – Combining Centella asiatica leaf water (70%) with soothing Tea tree leaf water 10%, this calming moisturiser takes care of blotchiness and sensitivity.

Tosowoong Green Tea Eco Brightening Essence – this hydrating and brightening essence uses green tea to soothe and calm red, irritated and sensitive skin.

Skin brightening refers to fading dark spots caused by hyperpigmentation, sun exposure and ageing.

Unlike skin bleaching, which involves changing the colour of the skin, skin brightening simply refers to the process of removing any dark marks that discolour your original skin tone.

To start with, let’s unpack what it causes skin pigmentation.

If you want to keep up to date with all things Korean beauty then this is the podcast for you. We'll cover everything from an insights into the products, ingredients and trends you'll be seeing in beauty, as well as how to perfect your own skincare routine.

Topics discussed in this episode:

Who Am I?

Most of you who are listening will probably have met me through STYLE STORY, my business which was founded in 2014 and is Australia’s first Korean Beauty store.

If you haven’t already met me either in person or online, then allow me to introduce myself.

I’m your host Lauren Lee and I’ve spent the last 10 years living and breathing all things K-Beauty. I’m an Aussie who is now permanently based in Seoul, South Korea and I can’t wait to share all the things I’ve learned living and working in the K-Beauty industry with you.

I have created this podcast so that I can provide you with practical tips to help you with your own Korean beauty journey. I’m going to be giving you all the tricks I’ve picked up through my own Korean beauty routine, as well as working with Korea’s hottest skincare and makeup brands for the last 7 years.

I’m also going to be sharing the things I wish I’d known so hopefully I can save you some time, money and wasted products. These episodes are going to be coming to you once a week every Tuesday.

Why K-Beauty?

To give you a little bit of an idea about who I am and where I’ve come from, I first discovered Korean Beauty nearly 10 years ago while studying on exchange at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea.

At the time, I had no idea that K-Beauty even existed and I didn’t speak the Korean language.

I was originally drawn in by the innovative product packaging, and once I tried the products for myself I was surprised by just how different Korean beauty products were to anything I’d tried before. The ingredients and formulas were really unique and the quality was comparable to products five times as expensive back home.

I started bringing Korean skincare and makeup back to Australia for friends and

family as gifts, but before I knew it I was filling “orders” for people who had fallen in love with them and wanted more!

Initially, I founded my business STYLE STORY as a hobby but several years later, with the products basically selling themselves, I set up STYLE STORY as a side-hustle.

Since then, the business has grown to become my full-time job and led me full circle back to a life in Seoul, Korea where I’ve lived since 2016. I now speak fluent Korean and STYLE STORY has teams in both Seoul, South Korea and Australia, along with a warehouse based in Sydney.

My #1 Tip for Starting Out with Any New Skincare

Patch testing

This is really just a quick series of tests you can run to see whether a product agrees with you or not before slathering it all over your face.

Why are you testing? We test for 3 things – allergies, irritation and pore clogging.  

How to test? Click here for everything you need to know.
