Which basic skincare products should you check out at Olive Young?
As soon as you enter an Olive Young store, the first thing that catches your eye is the vast array of basic skincare products. Korean consumers especially prefer products that emphasize skin soothing and hydration. The recent trend focuses on ingredient-driven products that provide clear moisturizing effects while minimizing irritation.
How to choose pads for skin soothing
- Check the ingredients: Look for products containing Centella Asiatica or Houttuynia Cordata extracts.
- Check the material: Ensure they are soft, pure cotton pads to reduce skin friction.
- Define the purpose: Decide whether you need them for wiping your face after morning cleansing or for use as a targeted pack in the evening.
The importance of the hydration ampoule and cream combination
For basic skincare, increasing skin absorption is more important than simply applying many layers. The bestseller at Olive Young, the hyaluronic acid ampoule, delivers moisture deep into the skin, and the standard routine is to follow it with a ceramide-containing cream to form a protective barrier. It is best to choose textures according to Korea's seasonal changes; light gel types are recommended for summer, while dense cream types are better for winter. When selecting products, prioritize identifying whether your skin type is oily or dry, and be sure to use the in-store testers to check the stickiness of the texture.
