What is a Moisturiser in K-Beauty?
In K-beauty, a moisturiser is a vital skincare step designed to hydrate, protect, and reinforce the skin’s natural barrier. It locks in moisture while calming and repairing the skin, essential for maintaining a healthy, radiant complexion. Unlike heavier creams, K-beauty moisturisers often combine gentle, science-backed ingredients that nurture sensitive skin while providing long-lasting hydration.

Redness-prone or irritated skin
Skin compromised by environmental aggressors
Suitable for all ages and skin conditions requiring barrier support
Key Ingredients:
Panthenol (Provitamin B5): Deeply hydrates and soothes inflammation
Madecassoside: Derived from Centella Asiatica, supports skin repair and reduces redness
Ceramide NP & Fatty Acids: Restore and maintain the lipid barrier for long-lasting moisture
EWG Green Grade Ingredients: Safe and non-irritating components prioritised for sensitive skin
How to Use:
Morning:
After cleansing and applying toner and serum, gently apply a small amount of Soon Jung 2x Barrier Intensive Cream. Focus on areas prone to dryness or irritation. Follow with sunscreen to seal in moisture and provide daytime protection.
