| 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. | At-home microneedling in a bottle. The spicules are made from freshwater sponges and feel like tiny prickles as you massage them in — the sensation is alarming the first time but completely normal. Over 4-8 weeks, it genuinely improves texture, reduces pore visibility, and smooths scarring. Start with the 100 concentration before graduating to 300 or 700. |
