New to vitamin A? This beginner-friendly guide explains retinol in plain language—what it does, how to avoid irritation, and when to expect results. We compare retinol vs retinal, share no-stress night routines by skin type, and recommend gentle starters: COSRX The Retinol 0.1 Cream, Some By Mi Retinol Eye Cream, and Some By Mi Retinol Reactivating Serum. Bonus: our discounted Retinol Beginning Package with a free cleansing balm sample and pouch.

K-Beauty isn’t a 10-step rulebook—it’s a gentle, science-driven philosophy. Learn the pillars, bust the myth, and start a simple routine that fits you.

Toner, essence, serum, ampoule—made simple. Start from your 3-step base, pick the right ‘specialist,’ and layer thinnest → thickest.

Too tired for 10 steps? Do our minimalist K-Beauty plan: cleanse, treat, moisturize in 3 minutes—gentle, effective, done.

Oil on oily skin? Yes. Emulsifying balms & oils melt SPF, makeup, and sebum—no residue. See our top picks and step-by-step use.
