CLARIFYING TONER WITH FERMENTED BLACK TEA
The word “Kombucha” gets you first. Once you start using this viscous yet refreshing toner, and see your pores looking cleaner and clearer, it will earn a permanent spot in your daily routine. The Aqulabo Kombucha First Breath-Like Toner is a clarifying toner that keeps the antioxidant level up while keeping breakouts and enlarged pores at bay.
MULTI-FUNCTIONING MIST THAT EVERYONE LOVES
With a fan base, including skincare connoisseurs like Liah Yoo and Gothamista, the Sioris Time Is Running Out Mist was already a cult favorite going into 2020. But in 2020, this multi-functional serum mist was promoted from a favorite to an essential. Be ready to fall in love with its counterpart, Sioris Falling Into The Rose Mist in 2021.
NEW WAVE IN THE WORLD OF DOUBLE-CLEANSING
This is a cleanser that needs to be celebrated! The Sioris Cleanse Me Softly Milk Cleanser is the gentlest of all cleansers. Perfectly low pH balanced with a luxurious milky lotion texture. It’s a perfect all-in-one morning cleanser that leaves your skin feeling like you just woke up from a facial
ALL-IN-ONE AMPOULE FOR ALL SKIN TYPE
A bottle of this ampoule will make you realize how easy skincare can be. The Celimax Noni Energy Ampoule revives dull and lifeless skin to its former glory of youthful healthy glow in 2 weeks.* Leave your concentrated Vitamin C, Retinol, and Niacinamide serums for now, and try this ampoule for a few weeks. You won’t regret it.
*Use a full dropper amount, twice a day, for 2 weeks or more. Individual results may vary depending on skin condition.
BRIGHTENING AND ANTI-AGING IN ONE
Does your skin barrier feel compromised? Skin gets easily irritated? But you still need some anti-aging and brightening in your skincare routine… The Sioris Bring The Light Serum will not only even out skin tone and texture, but also add firmness to your skin, all the while remaining gentle on the skin.
ACNE PRONE SENSITIVE SKIN SAVIOR
2020 is when K-beauty “toning pads” finally became popular outside of Korea. The difference between these “toning pads” and the better known “peeling pads” like the Neogen Bio-Peel is that these new breeds of pads are not for 1-2 times a week but for daily use. The Celimax Heartleaf BHA Peeling Pad brings the best of both worlds together. It’s gentle enough for daily use with mild daily exfoliating and hydrating benefits and if used via the gauze side of the pad, it can deliver physical and chemical exfoliating benefits.
THE MOST UNIQUE IN K-BEAUTY
Finely powdered oats and asian herbs that can be used mixed with a cleanser to add exfoliating and nourishing benefits. Add Sioris My Soft Grain Scrub to your face cleanser, clay mask, honey mask, shampoo, or even body wash.
LOVE AT FIRST USE AND FOREVER AFTER
This calming and soothing moisturizer repairs damaged a skin barrier while keeping skin cooled and hydrated all day. Celimax Noni Energy Reapir Cream instantly melts on the skin and absorbs quickly with a light dewy finish.
WHAT WE’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR
Finally a clay mask in a tube! Celimax Noni Refresh Clay Mask works to draw out impurities from the skin as a typical clay mask should. But the difference is that it actually deposits hydration while absorbing the gunk out of the skin! And, it also contains powdered Noni fruit that helps to exfoliate the skin. Powerful, yet effortlessly gentle.
