Five ingredients that define K-beauty

Korean skincare leans on a small set of well-loved ingredients. Knowing them makes choosing a routine simpler.

Propolis is a bee-derived ingredient prized for its soothing, glow-giving finish. Centella asiatica calms reactive skin. Rice brings a soft, even tone. Ginseng restores firmness. Snail mucin helps repair the barrier.

You don't need all five. Start with two that match your concern and build from there.
