Here is your quick cheat sheet to find which Beauty of Joseon sunscreen is meant for you!

​👉 Choose Rice + Probiotics if: You’re on the drier side, love a rich texture, or want that signature glass skin, dewy glow.

​👉 Choose Aqua-fresh if: You’re oily, acne-prone, or just want a lightweight, breathable, natural-matte finish.

We don't think a neck cream or décolleté treatment is necessary. Honestly, we can't find any independent research proving a neck cream works better than your facial skincare.

​That said, the skin on your neck does have a few unique quirks to keep in mind:

​Fewer oil glands: It has fewer sebaceous glands, making it naturally drier and much more prone to crepiness.

​A thinner dermis: The skin is thinner, meaning it absorbs active ingredients rapidly and has less structural support against gravity and sagging.

​Save your cash and just don't neglect the neck!

Ever wonder why fermented skincare is so powerful? It’s all about the chemistry of probiotics and postbiotics

• The Microbe Magic: Probiotics break down complex ingredients, leaving behind nutrient-rich postbiotics

• ​Micro-Sized Nutrients: This process shrinks massive ingredients down into low molecular weight

• ​Deeper Absorption: Instead of sitting on top of your face, they absorb instantly into the skin barrier.

• ​Less Irritation: You get maximum potency and deep resilience without overwhelming the skin.

​Products mentioned:

• ​Purcell Peptide Booster
• ​Laboreve Peach Toner
• ​Abib Bifida Serum
• ​Mixsoon Bean Essence & Cream

Sounds sci-fi, but it’s basically your skin’s personal construction crew. EGF is a naturally occurring cellular protein in our skin that signals cells to replicate and repair. As we age, our natural levels drop, and these tell your skin to speed up collagen production, repair damage, and bounce back faster.

If you want firmer skin and faster cell turnover, this is your sign to add it to your routine.

Both use Rejuran’s famous patented c-PDRN (salmon DNA)—shrinking the molecule down to less than 1/670th the size of a pore so it can actually pe*****te and accelerate epidermal cell turnover, bringing fresh, healthy skin cells to the surface faster to repair the skin. Choose between:

🥈 Silver (Turnover Ampoule): Great for even acne-prone skin. The OG skin healer targeting cellular repair, fading acne scars, smoothing rough texture, and resetting damaged skin.

🥇 Gold (Dual Effect Ampoule): Great for dry, mature, dull skin. Same healing DNA and adds Ceramides to fix a broken skin barrier, plus a brightening blend to fade dark spots, even out skin tone, and lock in a juicy, glass-skin glow.

💗 Stick to the Pink (Bio-Collagen) if you just want a plump, filtered glow and tighter-looking pores.

​💜 Grab the Purple (Caviar PDRN) if you are targeting deep elasticity, firming, and cellular repair.

​Listen to your skin, pick the one that matches your current goal, and don't forget to put it on AFTER your moisturizer!

Brightening isn’t one-size-fits-all. If pure Vitamin C triggers redness, your skin might thrive on gentle derivatives. Or, your dark spots might need a tag-team of Tranexamic Acid and Niacinamide to block pigment at the source. It’s all about finding the right match for your specific barrier.

If you're new to these types of serums, a calm & healthy barrier will always look brighter than an irritated one, so always start slow & start with gentle formulas.
