| Verdict | The gold standard of barrier repair creams in Korea. Dermatologists prescribe this. The ceramide complex mimics the skin's natural lipid barrier, and it works — compromised, eczema-prone, or over-exfoliated skin recovers noticeably faster. Not glamorous, but genuinely medicinal in its effectiveness. | The cream that started Beauty of Joseon. A rich, hanbang-inspired moisturizer that blends traditional Korean herbal ingredients with modern actives like niacinamide and ceramides. The texture is luxurious without being suffocating, and it genuinely improves skin radiance over a few weeks of use. The ginseng and rice extracts provide real antioxidant benefits. At this price point, it competes with moisturizers three times more expensive. |
