| Verdict | iUNIK signature product and one of the best-kept secrets in sensitive-skin K-beauty. 70% beta-glucan — a powerhouse humectant and soothing agent — combined with a minimalist supporting cast. The result is a serum that hydrates like hyaluronic acid but also calms reactive skin the way centella does. Cult favorite for a reason. | Liah Yoo's cult barrier-repair serum. Great Barrier Relief is built around tamanu oil (Calophyllum inophyllum) — a Pacific Islands botanical oil with real anti-inflammatory and wound-healing literature — paired with niacinamide and centella for a serum that sits somewhere between oil and emulsion. For skin that's been wrecked by over-exfoliation or tretinoin purges, this is the recovery shortcut. |
