Unveiling the truth about retinol in Korean skincare.
Renowned for its remarkable ability to combat signs of skin aging, retinol has become a staple in many Western skincare regimens.
For years there has been a prevailing notion that retinol is not commonly used in Korean skincare products.
But did you know that a cosmetics firm from South Korea was one of the very first beauty companies in the world to stabilise retinol in 1997? So why are many people under the impression that South Korea is a stranger to the benefits of retinol?
In this in-depth guide, we will delve into the reasons behind this myth, explore the rich history of retinol research in Korea, and shed light on the companies that pioneered the use of retinol in Korean skincare.

Interesting that my age group (50’s) seems to be invisible in the marketing universe, yet we have more money to spend on skincare and are willing to spend more time researching ingredients too. We’re not as traditionally “pretty” I guess, so maybe not as marketable. It’s about time companies start investing in marketing for us too.

As an over 50 consumer who loves asian skincare especially Korean I just wished more luxury or high end Korean brands formulated without fragrance or essential oils (since I developed a fragrance allergy a few years ago).

Thank you so much, it truly means a lot 🙏 I started this channel because I wanted people abroad to look at the Korean beauty industry with different eyes, beyond empty buzzwords, seasonal fads and social media sensations. I don’t personally feel the need to be perceived as physically attractive on the Internet, so I don't see the point of editing myself to look like something I'm not. Every once in a while I get the occasional troll comment trying to undermine what I do by making negative remarks on my physical appearance but frankly - it doesn't really touch me. As long as people walk away from my videos with a better understanding of Korean skincare, I feel accomplished.

your rundown of the K-beauty landscape, especially the awareness of brands outside of Korea and Western market created brands is so insightful. As a Korean living in the UK, I love the enthusiasm for K-beauty but find most of the viral product not representative of what Koreans use or misleading. Brands like Erborian, Glow Recipe, trade on Korean beauty for marketing but aren't available in Korea or used by Koreans.

I live in the greater Los Angeles area and I remember as a teen/young adult probably a little over 15 years ago they were used to sell this Korean brand which philosophy was based Traditional Asian Medicine focusing on Ginseng which was probably The History of Whoo or Sulhwasoo because it had yellow packaging with some gold script back they used to sell it QVC and HSN. But around 2011, BB cream (ie Missha) started to gain popularity here so Laneige and Sulhwasoo was able to break into market because of their distribution deals with Target and Sephora back then. My mom used to sell Avon and also used Olay or Lancôme and similarly to Korea here in the Shiseido products were marketed to women with mature skin and usually sold in Japanese-American marketplaces before Sephora started selling international brands to the wider American markets. I guess when I see skincare packaging I tend to stop and watch as a teen. For some reason, home shopping networks had primary access to lesser known K-brands but I could watch Korean Home shopping depending if you lived around a huge Asia population.

There is a layer of infromation that if i wanted to collect i would have spent hours cross checking wikipedia articles and even so I would still gett hust a shade of it. Thank you! I am still at 21.08 but i paused out of excitment! Because as a skincre enthousiast, I am more focused to check and understand the functionality of the skincare. So through the cracks the retinol back story was formed. I knew ROC was the first and the glam it took. I sort of feel I remembber the glamorous revolution in cosmetics. A sensation there was so science that was actually working and it was a pile of BS - LA MER F.E. -. Plus having devour my fair share of kdramas - a glimpse of the era that Korea long and intense work was showing something unstoppable was forming and it's not exaggerattion but solid. Love you for that, but out of admiration again, fix your demographics by fixing the societal pressure.

Honestly I wanted to use retinol in my routine because I have big pores and suffer from acne....But the retinols that are mintioned in this video (which I really want to try) seem to be made specifically for wrinkles. Based on your experience which one is best for acne and big pores? Please answer you're one of the few influenceres I trust I Need Your Helpp😢

Odile, what is the difference in anti aging for Retinol and Ginseng. So based on my understanding in all of your vids that I watched the ginseng is more on preventative right, and how about the retinol, is there a bad effect for a long time when using retinol because it increase the cell turnover right? Like would I age early, i know it's a silly question i just want to understand the difference on that both ingredient.

When I started to learn about K-skincare most brands I saw had fragrance in it. I saw a shift as they become more popular in social media in the West when the skincare in the West were also giving more fragrance-free skincare options following the HUGE success of the Ordinary. I am hyper sensitive to fragrances natural or synthetic which is why I clearly remember that shift in Western brands and in Korean skincare I was aware of. Is it common in classic K-skincare brands to be fragrance-free or did they also follow the global phenomenal started by The Ordinary? And are they any Korean fragrance-free brands that target older women? Thanks !

I do enjoy watching this video! Very informative with statistics to support! Totally different from other personal sharing of KZfaqr. Could you please compare Korean Retinal and Retinol products? While Retinal becomes popular, is it still worth to use Retinol? Thanks in advance! ❤

Thank you! In general yes Retinal is more biologically active than retinol, but I would say I tend to prioritise the overall formulation and technology employed in a product, rather than simply looking for more potent or concentrated ingredients. For instance I prefer using well-formulated 15% Ascorbic Acid serums rather than one of those vitamin C serums on the market with a high concentration of Ascorbic Acid but terrible stabilisation technology and feeling of use. Two ingredients discussed in this video (Medimin A and Retinyl Retinoate) only go through one conversion to become Retinoic Acid like Retinal does but they have beens shown to have fewer drawbacks when tested against Retinal. The IOPE retinol treatment besides boasting an incredible stabilisation technology also includes Granactive Retinoid and Bio-Seletinoid, which don't even have to go through conversion at all and are instantly active. So I would personally make the judgement on a case-by-case basis.

have been waiting... Thanks Odile... Would like to know which retinol product you'd use on the neck?

@OdileMonodTheMonodist 3 ай бұрын

Personally the one that gave me the best results in the neck area is the Isa Knox cream, but I guess it's partly due to the fact that it's more geared towards my dry skin.
