Do you dream of skin that is clear, smooth and glassy glowing? Glass Skin is one of the most desired skincare goals in Korean skincare. It means healthy, hydrated and naturally glowing skin. The key to this is to understand your own skin type and choose products that meet its needs.
In this article we will go through how to achieve Glass Skin step by step - whether your skin type is acne-prone, combination, dry, sensitive or aging. These recommendations come directly from our esthetician to ensure you get the best possible results.
Acne-prone skin – Cleansing and balance are key
Acne-prone skin needs products that balance sebum production, keep pores clean and at the same time maintain the skin's natural moisture balance. Using products that are too strong can irritate the skin and make problems worse, so gentleness is the key to everything.
- Oil Cleansing: Hwarang’ Bellflower Cleansing Balm – Removes impurities and excess sebum without clogging pores.
- Water-based cleansing: Ma:nyo Deep Pore Cleansing Foam – Deep cleanses pores and removes impurities.
- Exfoliation: Anua LHA Moisture Peeling Gel – Gentle exfoliation removes dead skin cells and prevents breakouts.
- Toner: Round Lab Mugwort Calming Toner – Soothes the skin and balances oil production.
- Treatment Essence: Abib Heartleaf Essence – The soothing treatment essence strengthens the skin's protective barrier.
- Seerumi: Numbuzin No. 5 Goodbye Blemish Serum – Reduces inflammation, brightens, and soothes irritated skin.
- Moisturizing Cream: Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream – A light yet moisturizing cream that doesn't feel heavy on the skin.
Regular and gentle care helps keep acne-prone skin balanced and clear.
Combination skin – Balance between hydration and dryness
Combination skin combines both dry and oily areas, so the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin) is often oilier and the cheeks drier. It is important to use products that moisturize dry areas and at the same time control excess sebum.
- Oil Cleansing: Hwarang’ Bellflower Cleansing Balm – Removes makeup and impurities without drying the skin.
- Water-based cleansing: Beauty Of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Cleanser – Fresh and gentle cleansing balances the skin.
- Exfoliation: Round Lab Pine Calming Cica Pad – Gentle exfoliation soothes the skin.
- Toner: Beauty Of Joseon Glow Replenishing Rice Milk – Hydrates and brings a beautiful glow to the skin.
- Care Liquid: Tocobo Bifida Biome Essence – Strengthens the skin barrier and evens out skin tone.
- Serum: Isntree Green Tea Fresh Serum – A lightweight serum that hydrates and controls oil production.
- Growth Cream: Purito Seoul Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream – Deeply moisturizes without a heavy feeling.
A balanced skincare routine helps combination skin to stay moisturized and comfortable throughout the day.
Dry skin - Deeply moisturize and nourish
Dry skin needs extra hydration and nutrients to maintain its softness and natural glow. With the right products, the skin feels soft and looks smooth and fresh, while its protective barrier is strengthened.
- Oil Cleansing: Hwarang’ Bellflower Cleansing Balm – Cleanses effectively without drying the skin.
- Water-based cleansing: Isntree Yam Root Vegan Milk Cleanser – Moisturizing and nourishing cleanser.
- Exfoliation: Pyunkang Yul Peeling Gel – Gentle exfoliation removes dead skin cells.
- Toner: About Me Rice Makgeolli Skin Softener – Softening and moisturizing toner.
- Treatment Essence: COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence – Nourishing treatment essence strengthens the skin's protective barrier.
- Serum: Medicube Triple Collagen Serum – Intensive hydration and improvement of skin elasticity.
- Moisturizing Cream: Hwarang’ Bellflower Moisturizing Barrier Cream – Nourishing cream locks moisture into the skin.
Regular moisturizing helps dry skin to look soft and smooth.
Sensitive skin – Soothe and protect
- Oil Cleansing: Hwarang’ Bellflower Cleansing Balm – Gently removes impurities.
- Water-based cleansing: Round Lab Dokdo Cleanser – Gentle cleansing for sensitive skin.
- Exfoliation: Isntree Onion Newpair Clear Pad – Gentle exfoliation removes dead skin cells and brightens the skin.

Gentle products help keep sensitive skin balanced and calm. With sensitive skin, it's good to be careful with exfoliation and exfoliate as needed, about 1-2 times a week or less.
Whatever your skin type is, regularity, patience and using the right products are key. These recommendations from our esthetician will help you achieve the Glass Skin of your dreams. Give your skin some love every day and let your skin's natural glow shine through!
