Beauty of Joseon serums are the hottest items on every skinfluencers’ social media and rightly so.
It all started with their hit sunscreen – Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics, but people quicky started picking up that their serums are something special as well.
So when Beauty of Joseon serums landed in the myeppo office you should have seen the scramble by the team to try out their five serums:
You have ginseng! Niacinamide! Propolis! Panthenol! Alpha Arbutin! All the hottest skincare ingredients and all in those beautiful little bottles!
These serums are each targeted to help manage the appearance of skin concerns like dark spots, dullness, skin texture, fine lines and enlarged pores.
We’ve had a few weeks with them so keep scrolling to read our thoughts on Beauty of Joseon serums so you can figure out which one(s) can help with your skin concerns.
What:
Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum: Propolis + Niacinamide
You’ll love this serum if:
You’re sick of your enlarged pores and need something to help control sebum.
We weren’t sure about this serum at first due to its thick texture, but it absorbs completely after a minute or two and didn’t feel sticky.
Those who suffer from oily skin – this is the serum for you! The niacinamide and propolis worked amazingly well to reduce sebum production, which mean it won’t clog pores, which means that pores appear smaller.
And for those pores that do get clogged, the propolis helps to fight the bacterial growth that causes acne.
As a bonus, the niacinamide concentration in this serum is only 2%, so it may be gentle enough for those with sensitivity to more powerful niacinamide serums.
An amazing option, and definitely one of the best serums by Beauty of Joseon – highly recommended!
What:
Beauty of Joseon Calming Serum: Green Tea + Panthenol
You’ll love this serum if:
You have periods where your skin erupts with breakouts and gets irritated and inflamed (hormonal acne sufferers, where you at?).
Green tea is a natural anti-oxidant that can fight acne-causing bacteria and gently relieve and soothe angry and inflamed skin and decrease redness.
It’s great to use as a first serum – to calm the skin down before applying your other serums.
What:
Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum: Ginseng + Retinal
You’ll love this serum if:
You’ve started to notice fine lines and wrinkles forming around your eye area, particularly around the undereye and crow’s feet area.
It contains 2% retinal but only an 0.02% concentration of the active ingredient within retinal.
Retinal is similar to retinol – a derivative of vitamin A that stimulates skin cells and encourages collagen production – making it super effective for fine lines and wrinkles.
The difference is the speed at which these ingredients work. Retinal works much quicker due to the way the skin absorbs the ingredient.
However, there’s a downside to that speed. It is harsher than retinol, so may cause sensitivity for some. We recommend you do a patch test of this product first before applying it.
For those that can tolerate it, this is a good option for to address the look of fine lines and wrinkles, and also want to improve hydration.
(And a secret tip – this “eye” serum can actually be used your face or other parts of your body as well!)
What:
Beauty of Joseon Glow Deep Serum: Rice + Alpha Arbutin
You’ll love this serum if:
Your skin is prone to dark spots or acne scars (aka the little marks left behind after a pimple).
The alpha arbutin is derived from plant sources and is at a 2% concentration, which is great for those who may be sensitive to higher concentrations of alpha arbutin.
How does the Beauty of Joseon Glow Deep Serum differ from the Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum?
The Glow Deep serum is targeted more for pigmentation and uneven skin tone, whereas the Glow serum is targeted more for sebum control, minimising pores and inflamed skin.
So they both give you a glow, just in different ways. It depends what your concerns are!
What:
Beauty of Joseon Revive Serum: Ginseng + Snail Mucin
You’ll love this serum if:
Your skin needs a bit of a boost in its elasticity and brightness.
Using this in combination with the Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Water can maximise the efficiency and effectiveness of the ginseng. Our skin felt super hydrated and bouncier from the inside.
The texture is slightly thicker than water, and is suitable for dry, oily and sensitive skin. Particularly if you have concerns around skin losing a bit of its elasticity, uneven skin tone, and general dullness.
Pro tip: we’ve seen great effects when paired with the Glow Deep serum.
