[Asia Economy Reporter Yujin Cho] The biggest concern in the beauty industry during the dry and large temperature difference autumn season is undoubtedly 'moisturizing'. This summer, due to the heatwave and long rainy season with hot and humid weather, combined with the habitual wearing of masks, people have faced triple hardships, leading to many skin concerns. Here are some moisturizing items that help overcome dryness, the unwelcome guest of the changing seasons.
Skin sensitive to seasonal changes tends to have weakened skin barriers during the transition period, making the oil-water balance easily disrupted. Those suffering from troubles or unresolved internal dryness should use sufficiently moisturizing products to restore the damaged skin barrier and recover the oil-water imbalance, which is most important.
Kolon Industries FnC Division (hereafter Kolon FnC) recently launched the moisture-specialized brand 'Likewise,' which uses proprietary skin technology (Moisture Target DeliveryTM) to deliver active ingredients deep into the skin, applying low molecular weight hyaluronic acid commonly in all products.
Under the slogan 'Direct Moisture Delivery,' it was released in three formulations according to skin type. These include 'Water Gel,' which instantly supplies moisture upon contact with the skin; 'Cream and Cream,' which melts softly to provide dual moisturizing effects; and 'Cream Balm,' which adheres tightly to the skin for high moisturizing effects. It uses green-grade ingredients recommended by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) and avoids artificial fragrances. It also excludes 20 harmful ingredients mentioned by the cosmetic ingredient analysis app Hwahae.
Ducray's 'Keracnyl Repair Deep Dryness Moisturizing Cream' provides 48 hours of moisturizing effect without stickiness and has a light application. It contains patented hydroxydecine ingredient that helps skin lipid synthesis, promoting healthy skin. Besides its rich moisturizing effect, it prevents moisture evaporation from the skin, effectively solving internal dryness during the changing seasons. The product uses a patented sealed container (DEFI) that blocks external substances even during use, ensuring hygienic use from opening to finish. It also contains no preservatives that may cause skin irritation.
Atopalm's special 'Large Capacity Limited Edition MLE Lotion,' released for its 20th anniversary, provides 48 hours of moisturizing effect with its proprietary skin barrier technology MLE®. The volume is upgraded 1.5 times compared to the existing product, making it suitable for the whole family, and it comes with an additional residual cap for economical use until the end. The texture absorbs softly and refreshingly and can be used not only on the face but also on dry body areas.
Dr. Jart's 'Dermask Water Jet Vital Hydra Solution' is a moisture solution mask with hyaluronic acid essence that fills moisture deep into the skin. Aquaxyl and Super Vital Complex keep the skin moist and revitalized even in dry inner layers. It is a product that has completed skin irritation tests and is good for daily one-pack care.
For portable moisture supply products suitable for long outings, Gahi's 'Multi Balm' is recommended. This product is a multi-stick balm that provides both moisture care and wrinkle care, containing natural fermented oil ingredients from Jeju. It absorbs quickly into the skin without greasiness and prevents moisture evaporation from the stratum corneum. Applying it frequently in dry places helps maintain shiny and moist skin all day long.
Medipopo's 'Medipopo Remedial Cream' is a natural multi-balm cream made by fermenting Australian Kariya papaya. The healthy plant oils derived from papaya instantly supply moisture, soothe the skin, and provide nutrition to create vibrant skin. It is good to apply not only on facial and body skin but also on cracked hair or raised cuticles of fingernails and toenails.
