KOREAN SKINCARE SERUMS
In Korean skincare, serums are the targeted step that brings a routine to life. Lightweight but concentrated, they are used to deliver hydration, brightness, or soothing benefits in precise layers instead of relying on one heavy product. At Skin Accord, we follow this same philosophy by choosing Korean inspired serums that focus on comfort, glow, and barrier support so your skin care feels intentional and results focused.
WHAT MAKES KOREAN SERUMS DIFFERENT?
Korean serums are shaped by a layering approach where each step has a clear role. Serums are designed to sit comfortably between toner and moisturizer, bringing in focused ingredients without feeling heavy or greasy. Many formulas use advanced complexes, calming extracts, and hydration boosting ingredients so skin looks smoother and more radiant while still feeling breathable.
DO I REALLY NEED A SERUM IN MY ROUTINE?
In Korean skincare, serums are the step where you speak directly to your skin’s main concerns. A well chosen serum can help support the look of brightness, calm the feel of sensitivity, or reinforce the appearance of firmness and bounce. While you can keep a routine simple, many people notice that their skin looks more refined and even when they keep at least one serum in regular use.
WHICH KOREAN SERUM IS BEST FOR MY SKIN TYPE?
If your skin is dry or dehydrated, look for serums with humectants such as glycerin, hyaluronic acid, or trehalose to help boost the look of plumpness. Oily or combination skin often prefers fluid, water light serums that balance the feel of oil and refine the look of pores. Sensitive or easily reactive skin usually does better with soothing ingredients like centella, panthenol, or madecassoside. At Skin Accord, we select serums that support comfort first, then layer in visible radiance and refinement.
CAN I USE MORE THAN ONE SERUM?
Layering is a key part of Korean skincare, and that can include more than one serum. Many routines pair a hydrating serum with a brightening or firming option, applying the lightest texture first and the richer texture second. The most important thing is to introduce new serums slowly, notice how your skin responds, and avoid stacking too many strong actives in the same routine.
HOW DO I LAYER KOREAN SERUMS WITH THE REST OF MY SKINCARE?
After cleansing and applying toner or essence, press your Korean serum into the skin with your hands, focusing on areas that need more support. Follow with moisturizer to seal in hydration and finish with sunscreen in the morning. The general Korean approach is to move from thinnest to thickest textures so every layer has a chance to absorb and work in harmony.
