Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a 10-step Korean skincare routine?

No. A common core is 5 steps (cleanser, toner, serum, moisturizer, sunscreen). The other steps are optional and depend on your skin.

How long before I see results from Korean skincare?

Most people notice improved hydration within 2-4 weeks. Acne scars and dark spots may take 2-3 months. Consistency is the most important factor.

Is Korean skincare safe for sensitive skin?

Yes, if you pick carefully. Many Korean brands have sensitive-skin lines. COSRX, PURITO, and Etude SoonJung sell fragrance-free options. Patch test anything new.
