Unlock Ageless Glow: 20 Korean Beauty Secrets Mature Skin Experts Swear By That You’ve Never Heard Of!

You’ll get CosRX’s pore-refining and redness-reducing niacinamide serum along with the brand’s peptide booster in this handy skincare set. Use it after cleansing your skin and before applying moisturizer.

Westbay recommends this product because it is “a topical serum containing probiotics and fermented extracts that helps improve skin texture, firmness, and visible softening of fine lines with regular use.”

My family has been using this cream for years. The delicious, creamy texture melts into the skin, transforming dull skin into radiant skin. The skin barrier becomes more vulnerable as we age, making it essential to protect it with more heavy-duty moisturizers, such as snail mucin and black honey.

I cannot rave about this product enough, especially for dry or mature skin types. Shake up the bottle to mix the serum and oils before spraying onto skin. It can be used as a mid-day hydration touch-up, an instant glow, a skincare step after washing your face, or to lock moisture in.

If your skin is too sensitive for retinol, bakuchiol is a great alternative. Studies show the ingredient reduces signs of sun damage as well as wrinkles. The ingredient is the star of this eye cream, and fermented ingredients such as black rice and bamboo shoot bark extract help regulate the skin’s barrier, too.

I love this cream—and so does everyone else, apparently. Inside, encapsulated ceramides keep the ingredient stable and deliver long-lasting hydration for dry skin. Fatty acids and cholesterol also strengthen the skin barrier, which weakens with age. It’s particularly great for sensitive skin and a compromised skin barrier.

“This brand is rooted in clinical research and ginseng science,” says Westbay. “Many tout ginseng as being multifactorial in that it helps hydrate, brighten, improve elasticity and smoothness, even in those with acne-prone skin.”

“Retinoids are the holy grail of anti-aging skincare,” says Westbay. It doesn’t matter if you are a retinol novice or have sensitive skin; this ampoule was made for you in mind. The watery formula delivers a gentle retinol cushioned by ceramides and hyaluronic acid derived from soybeans.

The lightweight yet nourishing texture of this cream delivers a glow that’s unlike anything else I’ve tried. While there have been limited studies on topical PDRN, this cream delivers a soothed skin barrier, plumped lines, and a lifted look with peptides and amino acids.

“This toner is optimally hydrating and also brightens, as the hydrogel pads contain niacinamide and glutathione, enhancing glow and prepping skin beautifully for makeup, so it’s a great primer,” adds Westbay.

The best sunscreen is the sunscreen you apply, and this one from Abib makes it so easy. It’s easy to travel with, throw into a bag, and apply over makeup, especially due to its ergonomic round shape. It applies like a dream with a soft matte finish and no white cast. I’ve carried it in my bag all summer, and I can attest it doesn’t melt.

You’ve heard of pimple patches, but what about wrinkle patches? They work by adhering to fine lines and releasing five types of hyaluronic acid and six types of peptides into the skin over many hours. It can be used around your eyes, on your neck, and on your nasolabial folds as you sleep.

PDRN is one of K-Beauty’s new star ingredients. When injected into the skin, it’s effective in stimulating collagen production, improving skin elasticity, and reducing inflammation. However, there are limited studies on the topical use of the ingredient. Even so, it’s becoming a beloved ingredient for the way it helps skin glow, like bottled in this collagen-boosting serum that’s great for dry, sensitive, and mature skin.

A Korean bestseller through and through, this eye cream is a cult favorite for a reason. The formula is crafted with active ingredients that help keep the skin firm: 84 types of peptides, 10 types of collagen, and 11 types of hyaluronic acid. Plus, this luxurious cream can also be used in any areas in need of volume—not just the eyes.

Did you know you need to reapply sunscreen? The rule of thumb is to reapply every two hours, according to the American Academy of Dermatology, and even more if you are outside, swimming, or sweating. This cushion compact sunscreen makes reapplication a breeze with its sponge applicator. Plus, it’s a mineral formula that cools the skin; however, it has a light white cast.

Spiracules, also known as liquid microneedling, create microchannels that allow skincare to better penetrate the skin. Each one of these eye patches has 1,100 microspicules, which can improve skin elasticity, dark circles, and eye bags with ingredients like collagen, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and bakuchiol. While this won’t replicate the same effects as seen in professional microneedling at a dermatologist’s office, it does give a noticeable (albeit temporary) glow.

This super-fine fact mist contains centella asiatica extract to soothe and repair red, irritated skin. There’s also panthenol, glycerin, and an array of peptides to deliver an instant boost of hydration and glow.

The hero ingredient inside this opulent eye cream is precious 30-year-old wild ginseng. It has been studied for its anti-oxidative stress and anti-inflammatory effects, as well as for reducing the effects of photoaging. This cream can be used all over the eye area to help smooth and plump textural issues and crow’s feet.
