Achieve the ultimate Korean glass-skin look with our expert layering guide — from double cleanse to finishing essence.
Glass skin is the pinnacle of the Korean beauty aesthetic — skin so luminous it appears translucent, like polished glass. Achieving this look is less about makeup and more about your skincare foundation. The journey begins with a thorough double cleanse: first an oil cleanser to dissolve sunscreen and makeup, followed by a gentle foam or gel cleanser to purify pores. From there, layering is everything. Apply a first toner to prep the skin, then a hydrating essence like our Fermented Rice Essence for depth of moisture. Next, target your concerns with a serum — vitamin C for glow, niacinamide for pores, or hyaluronic acid for plumpness. Lock it all in with a ceramide moisturizer and finish with SPF. The secret is patience: let each layer absorb before applying the next.
