A COMPLETE K-BEAUTY ROUTINE WITH THE BEST FACIAL SKINCARE FROM PURITO, COSRX, MISSHA & MORE!
The first Korean skin care product I ever tried was fake snake venom!
Have Koreans cracked the healthy skin code?
On my trip to Seoul in January 2013, I discovered a whole new world of skin care that I didn’t even know existed.
Until that trip, I had no idea there were all these established skincare brands I'd never heard of; many had products formulated with wildly suspicious ingredients like snake venom, snail mucin — and fermented mushrooms.
(I still haven’t gotten used to putting snail slime on my face.)
I remember walking into one of the dozens, maybe hundreds, of beauty shops in the city’s hipster Gangnam neighborhood and feeling like I was in a dream. (Yes, the same Gangnam from that crazy song!)
Lining the narrow, cramped streets were shops full of brands I’d never heard of and products I never imagined. And more than a few products had bizarre pseudo-English names even wilder than the ingredients inside. I only later learned it’s called konglish — a blending of English and Korean.
Korean skin care, commonly referred to in the West as K-Beauty, is nothing like the skin care I grew up with in the world of beauty, beginning at age 22. I thought skin care was all about reversing the signs of aging — fighting wrinkles, sagging, crow’s feet and hyperpigmentation.
But the Koreans take a different approach that’s far more logical than reversing the signs of aging after the aging has happened. Korean skin care has long espoused the vital importance of hydration and nutrition to maintain, enhance and perfect skin health. In fact, the two go hand in hand.
Photo-bombed by a Korean waitress!
Just like the rest of the body, skin needs both water and nutrition to maintain healthy functions. And healthy functioning skin ages more slowly — or at least shows signs of age more slowly. By preventing signs of aging in the first place, you have a fighting chance!
Many of the most common innovations in skin care today stem from Korean skincare traditions that are focused entirely on keeping the skin optimally hydrated.
As an example, toners, often fermented and always alcohol-free, are intended to nourish, hydrate and dampen the skin to facilitate the penetration of the actives in other products.
Sheet masks have an occlusive effect that limits evaporation and helps enhance hydration in skin. The whole point of the 7-Skin Method is to deeply hydrate the skin layers by pressing a toner into facial skin seven times.
Even snail slime, as disgusting as it is to me, is all about deeply infusing skin with hydration. And the fact that snail slime is a thing is proof that Koreans will do and try anything to enhance their own hydration levels!
Our bodies, most importantly our skin, need water to stay youthful and healthy.
Literally, hydration is everything. Sure, it’s the key to optimizing skin health. And, as a consequence, it’s essential to holding off the visible signs of aging as long as possible. You never really hear Korean skincare brands talking about “anti-aging” per se. That’s because maintaining skin health is in and of itself, anti-aging.
Effective hydration is the true anti-aging secret! After all, what does any of us expect to find in the fountain of youth?
Water!
Think about it:
70% of the human body is composed of water.
According to NASA, “From ancient times, explorers have ‘followed the water.’ Water's unique chemical and physical properties are essential to human survival. Without water, basic physical processes would be impossible. Cells within the human body would die. None of the essential physical functions, such as breathing, digestion, or muscle movement could take place without water. About 70 percent of the human body is made up of water and, coincidentally, more than 70 percent of Earth is covered in water. Water creates an environment that sustains and nurtures plants, animals and humans, making Earth a perfect match for life in general.”
But, water-based hydration isn’t all you need to achieve optimum skin health. Oil-based moisture is important for fortifying the skin barrier and keeping it from drying out — and preventing something called TEWL — trans-epidermal water loss.
I truly believe that a healthy skincare routine must be centered around water-based hydration — layers upon layers of it. Healthy, hydrated skin has a certain reflectivity to it — the complexion glows, no makeup and mirrors needed! It’s what Koreans refer to as yuri pibu, or “glass skin.”
There’s an excellent article titled, A 7-Step Guide to Glowing “Glass Skin” From a K-Beauty Insider here.

A Complete K-Beauty Routine
Which brings me, alas, to a complete routine comprising only Korean skincare products! Over the past few months, my fellow skinfluencer Michael @skincare.product.ratings and I have collaborated on three fantastic skincare regimens — including A Complete $100 Skincare Routine, A Complete $175 Clean Skincare Routine (which I dubbed my “dream routine”) and A Complete Clean, Green Skincare Routine.
In each of those regimens, there were a couple of selections from the vast world of Korean skin care. Simply, the products are so well-formulated and reasonably priced, no skincare routine should be without a few. But, we thought it would be kinda cool to assemble a complete K-beauty routine — made up entirely of well-formulated Korean skin care.
After all, Koreans cracked the code to healthy, youthful skin. I’ve experienced it first hand!
Purito’s From Green Cleansing Oil reminds me of my very first cleansing oil — from she uemura.
Cleanser | Purito From Green Cleansing Oil
If there’s a single product that should be pure, clean and do no harm, it’s a cleanser.
Seriously, using a cleanser loaded with potential irritants like synthetic preservatives, micro-plastic and sensitizing fragrant plant oils is just not the way to start off a skincare regimen.
Clean means clean. And that’s exactly what got me so excited about the Purito From Green Cleansing Oil to begin with.
I’m a big fan of the indie K-beauty brand’s Niacinamide serum, the Galacto Niacin 97 Power Essence — which I’ll feature below. And, Purito’s Fermented Complex 94 Boosting Essence is a personal favorite that played the starring role of fermented toner in that earlier dream routine. As I’ve said before, I wish I could gift it to every man, woman and child on Earth who cares about the health of their skin!
Purito From Green Cleansing Oil is super low-foaming and bathes skin in nourishing plant oils.
Naturally, I’m gonna go nuts over anything from Purito — and Purito’s From Green Cleansing Oil has been my go-to cleansing oil for months now. In fact, it was the top choice for our Clean, Green Routine.
I literally started using the From Green Cleansing Oil in the fall of last year and I’m still on the same bottle. It’s the first cleanser I reach for when I get in from the day and need to power wash my face of dirt, grime, sebum, particulate matter from pollution in the air — and, of course, sunscreen.
Purito’s formula is amazing. Rich in five non-fragrant plant oils, it’s a super nourishing formulation, with a silky, pampering texture that reminds me of my very first oil cleanser experience, the cult shu uemura High Performance Balancing Cleansing Oil — first introduced in 1967.
In fact, there are only a few more ingredients than those five non-fragrant plant oils — with just 11 in the entire formula. What I perhaps love most is what’s great about really well-formulated cleansers of all types: it barely emulsifies.
Because it’s so gentle and low-foaming, it doesn’t strip skin of anything it shouldn’t. And in the chilly winter days around me, I don’t have any extra sebum to spare!

Fermented Toner | COSRX Galactomyces Alcohol-Free Toner
As I said earlier, fermented toners are a K-beauty essential — and are, in fact, common across all Asian beauty routines. I certainly have my faves; among them the Laneige Cream Skin (which I reviewed here) and Whamisa’s Organic Flowers Deep Rich Toner. The luxurious, silky treat was my first fermented Korean toner and, in fact, the first fermented product I ever tried. Whamisa’s thick, pampering concoction is my toner of choice for the 7-Skin Method.
Fermentation is like the Trojan horse, tricking its way past the skin’s defenses.
What’s the deal with fermentation? In short, fermentation helps to break down actives in a formula to essentially enhance penetration into the fortified skin barrier. The main function of the skin barrier, after all, is to prevent foreign substances — molecules of all kinds — from penetrating and entering the body.
That includes both good and bad substances — including viruses, bacteria and even most of the healthy, beneficial ingredients that are used in skin care. Without help, they just sit on the surface and either evaporate or are whisked away when we use a cleanser.
The very premise behind toning is to hydrate the skin, dampen it, to enhance penetration of actives. That’s not only important at the toning step, immediately following a cleanser, but throughout a skincare routine.
To keep my skin damp and better able to absorb skin care, I like to use a toning mist like the COSRX Galactomyces Alcohol-Free Toner or Missha’s Time Revolution First Treatment Essence. Toning mists allow me to continually hydrate my skin anew between the application of water-based essences and toners.
COSRX’s Galactomyces Alcohol-Free Toner is a simple formula, comprising just 10 ingredients. (Funny, it’s all “top ten”!) Its star fermented active, Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate, is the second ingredient — after water. If you have a concern for acne, particularly fungal acne, you should steer clear of galactomyces as it can make the situation worse; however, not all ferments are created equal. Both Bifida and Lactobacillus can actually help to calm and rebalance acne prone skin.
The formula also contains moisturizing Panthenol (Vitamin B5), humectant Sodium Hyaluronate, and Cassia Obtusifolia Seed Extract. Also known as Chinese Senna Extract, Cassia Obtusifolia Seed Extract is an anti-inflammatory, an antioxidant and an anti-redness substance.
If keeping skin healthy, happy and hydrated is your skin goal (it’s mine and the goal of every Korean woman!), then consider incorporating COSRX’s pro-skin health hydration mist.

Essence | Benton Fermentation Essence
Next up is an essence — one of those product categories that’s somewhat foreign to most of us. But before I go any deeper into my ideal K-beauty routine, let me just say it’s not necessary to have a 10-step skincare routine. What’s important is that you give your skin all the healthy nutrition and water it needs.
While Korean skincare routines are centered around products like essences, serums and ampoules that aren’t common to western users, they do have their benefits.
Essences are generally more lightweight than serums and that’s why an active-powered essence is applied right after a toner — they go deeper.
To optimize healthy skin penetration, it is essential that products be applied in two phases — a water-based phase and an oil-based phase. Within each, products should be applied thinnest to thickest.
The Benton Fermentation Essence is a wonderfully fermented treat that’s so pro-skin health that Michael and I included it in our initial skincare regimen, the $100 routine. At $30, it was nearly a third of the cost of the entire regimen. That’s how exceptional this essence is!
The very first ingredient in the Benton formula is Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate, followed by water. There are a multitude of humectants in the formula as well.
I really love this stuff. At just $30, you rarely get so much goodness for so little money.
Sure there’s one of the most common, Sodium Hyaluronate — the more skin-compatible salt form of Hyaluronic Acid. But Benton powered up the humectant benefits of its essence with three others: Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract to help skin retain a higher water content.
If you’re curious about humectants, there’s a terrific list of humectants, both natural and synthetic, here.
Benton’s blockbuster thirty-dollar Fermentation Essence also includes ceramides, antioxidants, amino acids and even a second ferment — Bifida Ferment Lysate. (More on that one below!)
You rarely get so much goodness for so little money.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) | Purito Galacto Niacin 97 Power Essence
I follow skin care and skincare ingredient trends very closely. In 2017, the most googled skincare ingredient search in China was “Vitamin C”. In 2018 and well into 2019, it was “Niacinamide.”
Cherished for its brightening power, Niacinamide has not been popular in skincare products in either A-beauty or Western beauty until recently.
For brightening, in particular, K-beauty has relied on plant extracts including Glycyrrhiza Glabra (licorice) Root Extract, Kojic Acid and Ellagic Acid — an antioxidant found in pomegranates, raspberries and strawberries.
The Purito Galacto Niacin 97 Power Essence is one of the best Niacinamide serums I’ve come across since the Paula’s Choice 10% Niacinamide Booster.
First, it’s a clean formula devoid of toxic irritants. Second, it’s a super watery formula — which means it’s extremely easy to layer into a skincare routine. Purito’s Galacto Niacin 97 Power Essence contains just twelve ingredients, three of which are ferments — Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate, Bifida Ferment Lysate and Lactobacillus Ferment.
The second ingredient is power brightener Niacinamide, which in my estimation puts it at between 5-10% of the formula — a good amount. There are also two nourishing amino acids and soothing Allantoin.
It’s seriously good stuff! And at about $20, it doesn’t get better!

Vitamin C | COSRX Triple C Lightning Liquid
Back when I was working at Kiehl’s in the 2000’s, there were very few, if any, Vitamin C serums on the market. When we introduced Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate with 10% Vitamin C, it was considered breakthrough. There really was nothing else like it.
In fact, I recall internal conversations about whether Kiehl’s users would be alarmed by a warming sensation — something that’s common with both Vitamin C and Niacinamide. Even today, with an amped up version of the original that contains 12.5% Vitamin C, the warning I wrote all those years ago is still part of the product messaging: “You may experience a feeling of warmth as the formula is absorbed by your skin.”
The Vitamin C in the Kiehl’s formula was suspended in a silicone base to preserve the efficacy of the notoriously unstable antioxidant vitamin. Since then, numerous Vitamin C products are formulated that way, including one of my new faves — the Beauty Stat Universal C Skin Refiner which I reviewed in my blog article on my top Vitamin C picks of 2019 here.
So while Vitamin C suspensions are more stable, they’re also harder to use. When a Vitamin C is formulated with water, it’s important to get it right.
And I think COSRX did with their Triple C Lightning Liquid. First, it’s not actually formulated with water at all. The first ingredient is Aronia Melanocarpa Fruit Extract, or Black Chokeberry — a relatively new entrant to skin care with intriguing benefits for skin.
A quick google search of it returned this:
Black chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa) fruits are among the richest sources of polyphenols and anthocyanins in plant kingdom and suitable raw material for production of functional foods. The popularity of chokeberries is not only due to their nutritional value but also to the constantly emerging evidence for their health-promoting effects.
The current study presents detailed information about the content and composition of sugars, organic acids, and polyphenols in 23 aronia samples…Organic acids were represented by substantial amounts of quinic acid, malic acid, and ascorbic acid.
So, in addition to the pure form of Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) at a 20% level, the Chokeberry Extract also contains a significant amount of the power brightener — and comprises 72% of the formula.
As I mentioned earlier, a brightening staple of K-beauty formulas is Licorice Root Extract, which is included the COSRX Triple C. I am hard-pressed to find a third Vitamin C compound as the name clearly implies.
No matter, Triple C is quite an intriguing option. Dare I say the texture feels lighter than water? It’s reminiscent of the Paula’s Choice C15 Super Booster, which until now, was the lightest Vitamin C treatment I’ve tried. The PC option is $49, while Triple C Lightning Liquid is just $27.

Ampoule | Missha Time Revolution Night Repair
Every die-hard fan of K-beauty knows that the Missha Time Revolution Night Repair is a dupe for Estée Lauder’s iconic Advanced Night Repair. In fact, they share 16 ingredients, including the star ferment, Bifida Ferment Lysate! (I told you I’d get to this in a minute!)
The Missha version of Advanced Night Repair is, however, a far superior formula to Lauder’s ANR — which seems dated by comparison. While both formulas contain several “nasties” including PEGs and Trisodium EDTA — a controversial substance which, while it’s no a proven skin irritant, is proven to be an environmental toxin.
Neither formula is clean; but this isn’t a blog article about clean skin care.
What truly differentiates the two, and what elevates Missha’s Night Repair, is the plethora of antioxidant botanical extracts and non-fragrant plant oils in the K-beauty formula.
While I don’t have the Lauder Advanced Night Repair handy now, I’m quite familiar with its lightly gooey, brownish texture. Missha’s formula is so similar that you’d be hard pressed to tell the two apart.
Both contain high levels of Bifida Ferment Lysate, as the second ingredient after water. Rated by Paula as one of the “best” ingredients for the skin, Bifida Ferment Lysate is “a probiotic ingredient derived from a specific type of yeast obtained by the fermentation of Bifida bacteria. Research on human skin explants (cross-sections of intact human skin) has shown this ingredient can help reactive skin become less sensitive to environmental aggressors via strengthening its microbiome. Doing so encourages skin to visibly repair itself and begin looking healthier.”
Missha’s Time Revolution Night Repair is packed with skin-nourishing goodness in addition to the Bifida probiotic. In all, there are eleven fermented actives including: Bifida Ferment Lysate, the hen-of-the-woods mushroom Grifola Frondosa (Maitake) Extract Ferment Filtrate, and even Saccharomyces/Viscum Album Ferment Extract — an extract of mistletoe!
Oh, and what’s an ampoule?
An ampoule is a supercharged serum with higher concentrations of active ingredients that you're meant to use for a finite amount of time as a booster or when you're having a skin crisis of some sort. [It’s best when] using them before your essence or serum. Ampoules usually come in smaller bottles with droppers.
When it comes to fermented K-beauty skincare, you gotta give it up for Missha’s Advanced Night Repair dupe. Not only is it the Lauder treatment on steroids, but at $52 for 50ml, you can get two for the price of one.

Moisturizer | COSRX PHA Moisture Renewal Power Cream
COSRX’s PHA Moisture Renewal Power Cream is a clean, gently exfoliating moisturizer.
K-beauty isn’t perfect by any means. While it’s relatively uncommon to find irritants like denatured alcohol, fragrant plant oils and fragrance in Korean skin care, brands do make one common mistake: moisturizers in jars.
I loathe products in jars.
I often equate them to the process of buying a new car. The second you drive the car off the lot, it’s value decreases significantly. The same goes for skin care in a jar! The moment you open the lid and expose the formula to light, air and bacteria, it begins to degrade. All the most sensitive ingredients, often the most beneficial antioxidant extracts and vitamins, are compromised when exposed to the elements. At the very least, you have to use a spatula — never put your fingers into the product.
And that’s the whole point of using a jar to begin with — consumers love to put their fingers into the product. As counterintuitive as it is, I have to admit, it’s pleasurable.
Now that my jar rant is over, onto the COSRX PHA Moisture Renewal Power Cream! Marketed as ideal for drier skin types in need of gentle exfoliation, the texture is, in fact, a pleasure to use. That’s not exactly unique in K-beauty. The COSRX formula reminds me of two popular K-beauty creams, the Laneige Water Bank Moisture Cream and Hanyul’s Pure Artemisia Watery Calming Cream. All three have a super lightweight, whipped texture that’s not a conventional gel cream and isn’t a thick cream either.
I hate that it’s in a jar, but I gotta admit, I love the texture!
Two distinguishing characteristics set the PHA Moisture Renewal Power Cream apart. First, it’s a really clean formula — it doesn’t even contain Phenoxyethanol, a common synthetic preservative that’s also potentially irritating to skin when using multiple products that contain it.
Second is the inclusion of the Gluconolactone PHA, or polyhydroxy acid. Think of PHAs as the gentler younger brother of AHAs. Both have proven exfoliating benefits when applied to the skin, but PHAs like Gluconolactone, Galactose and Lactobionic Acid are far less irritating than the more common glycolic and lactic AHAs.
COSRX’s water-free PHA Power Cream contains a few moisturizing plant oils as well as Niacinamide and a tiny amount of Sodium Hyaluronate. Perhaps the most intriguing ingredient in the formula is the very first ingredient in the formula, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Fruit Extract — the extract of the fruit of the coconut tree that is rich in nourishing fatty acids, proteins and B complex vitamins.
While skin loves all things coconut, many people find it comedogenic, meaning it clogs their pores and promotes the occurrence of acne blemishes. If you have a proclivity for blemishes resulting from clogged pores, you should incorporate a well-formulated Niacinamide serum into both your AM and PM regimens. Niacinamide is the clogged-pore killer!
IMO the COSRX PHA Moisture Renewal Power Cream is a terrific moisturizer for all skin types — except, perhaps, very oily and acne prone skins.

Sunscreen | Suntique I'm Pure Cica Suncream
And lastly, but always most important, is a sunscreen product. I know I say it often, but it bears repeating over and over again. When people ask me my top recommendation for an anti-aging treatment, I simply reply…“Sunscreen!”
And that goes double for K-beauty! Make that triple. Sun protection, hydration and nourishment are the three key elements for unlocking healthy, youthful skin.
No one does sunscreen better than Asian beauty brands — particularly J-beauty. But this isn’t a blog about J-beauty sun filter innovations. If it were, I would have selected my fave sunscreen from Japanese brand Rhoto, the Skin Aqua Super Moisture Milk that Michael and I opted for and I reviewed in our $100 routine.
So, I’m naturally intrigued by the newish Korean sun care brand, Suntique. I first discovered the indie brand while bouncing around NYC’s K-town a few months ago with a friend and fellow “skinfluencer,” Natalie (IG: @natalie.celinee).
The K-beauty shops in K-town are an ample replacement for the shops in Seoul that are something nearing nirvana — and they’re a whole lot closer to home.
Replete with both well-known and obscure Korean skincare brands, I was naturally a kid in a candy shop. Just like in Seoul, I was immersed in newness and bizarreness, with whacky sounding brands and absurdly named products — including the Suntique I'm Pure Cica Suncream.
I’m what?!
I’m Pure is, of course, a mineral sunscreen formulated with the two physical filters Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide. The clean formula has a light, but unusual texture that’s hard to legitimately describe in words. Dare I say it’s slimy as in snail slimy? I actually couldn’t find any snail mucin in the INCI. To see just how unusual it is to apply, you’ll want to check my corresponding vlog on my YouTube channel here.
Certainly, it’s non-sticky, non-greasy and leaves no white cast. (Are there any mineral sunscreens left out there that do leave a white cast?)
As the name implies, there is, in fact, soothing, hydrating Centella Asiatica Extract, or cica. And, true to any self-respecting K-beauty product, there are even ferments in the formula, including Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate.
Beyond that, there’s a bevy of terrific nourishing and antioxidant extracts and oils that deliver light moisture to the skin. If you’re oily, I’m Pure is your moisturizer. If you’re dry or normal, it’s best layered over a moisturizer as I do. If you aren’t traveling to Seoul or NYC any time soon, you can grab it for just about $20 on the Stylevana website.

That’s it guys! Thank you — 감사합니다 (gamsahabnida) — for humoring me and for trusting Michael and me with our regimen recommendations!
