If you’ve ever wondered which Korean skincare products actually perform, not just what’s trending online, this video breaks it all down using verified data from Korea’s biggest beauty review platform, Hwahae.
Hwahae’s rankings are based on millions of real user reviews, making it one of the most trusted sources for what’s genuinely popular and effective in Korea right now.
In this video, I look at the top Korean skincare products by age group, from your 20s through to your 40s and beyond!
In your 20s, the focus is on hydration and prevention, with lightweight, barrier-supportive products like:
* Torriden Dive-In Low Molecular Hyaluronic Acid Serum
* Wellage Real Hyaluronic Blue Ampoule 100
* Beplain Mung Bean pH-Balanced Cleansing Foam
In your 30s, the focus shifts to repair and protection, with richer, barrier-reinforcing formulas such as:
* Aestura Atobarrier 365 Cream
* S.Nature Aqua Squalane Moisturizing Cream
In your 40s and beyond, the goal is regeneration and deep nourishment, with clinically backed, restorative actives like:
* Anua PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Capsule 100 Serum
* Isoi Moisture Dr. Cream
* Aestura Atobarrier 365 Cream
Across every decade, the Korean skincare philosophy remains consistent: support your barrier, hydrate deeply, and maintain balance.

i love torriden! my skin is oily, sensitive and acne prone (yay 🥲) and the dive in cream is PERFECT for the colder months.
Looking or rather listening at one of your videos is like a kind of soothing blanket. ❤
So sad about Anua, I really liked their pdrn serum. Any suggestions for a good substitute for it?
12:49 omg you’re so right 😭😹
This is great, thank you! 35 I’m starting to feel the aging a bit and do not do any fillers, etc. though people always think I’m a max of 30, I want to keep it that way!! 😅
I LOVE s.nature too, especialy their aqua oasis gel i feel like its a better version of the squalene moisturizer, its super hydrating and repaired my skin barrier + their toner pads are best on the market for hydration and soothing in my opinion
Oh wow, I'd never heard of Hwahue before and as a massive 'top 10 lists' AND skincare nerd this sounds like the perfect convergence of my core brand values 🤣 Also, that's such a shame to hear about ANUA, I recently bought and **LOVED** the glow pads version of that PDRN serum. Ah well, at least I now have a great resource to find a decent alternative! Thanks James 🥰 x
Please tell us more about this Anua transphobe thing – I haven't heard about it!
Can you do a video on closed comodones 🥹🙏🏻 I’m STRUGGLING with my texture and my chin 😭 SOS
I wanted to love the Aestra barrier cream but the capsules drove me nuts. They never dissolved no matter how much I rubbed it in. It’s better for the body IMO.
