Moisturizing Korean Skincare Products: Why They're the Answer to Your Skin's Needs

As we continue to navigate our way through the ever-changing world of skincare, one thing remains constant: our skin’s need for rejuvenation and a robust care regime.

Whether you're someone who has always been religious about their skincare routine or someone who’s just starting to dip their toes into the often bewildering world, the benefits of moisturizing skincare products cannot be rebuffed.

Que Dr. esthé.

A medical-grade skincare label founded by pharmacist Jae Bong Kim, the Korean brand has been optimising and improving its formula since 2003.

Dr. esthé’s main focus is skin health from the deepest layers of the skin. Many of its formulae are designed to be hypoallergenic (we will get to why this is so important in a minute), moisturising, containing no chemicals and prioritising sensitive skin.

The skincare line has been tried and tested by 100 dermatologists who understand healthy skin.

From powder washes and toners to moisturizers and serums, their comprehensive range of skin care products are the ideal tools to take your skincare routine to the next level.

Dry and sensitive skin isn’t a clinical term; more a way for us to describe skin that likes to throw a tantrum every now and then when we have the audacity to change things up with our routine.

But why can it be so harmful to use products on our skin that don’t have hydration at the heart of its efficacy goals?

The term “moisturizer” is a creation of advertisers lacking a proper dermatological definition. Rather than pumping water into the skin, good moisturizers work by bolstering the skin’s barrier function.

This involves factors like skin lipid composition, pH (also known as acid mantle), and the structure of corneocytes (non-living skin cells in the skin’s top layer).

A top-notch moisturizer addresses several of these aspects, strengthening the skin as opposed to simply “quenching the skin’s thirst.”

Dr. esthé has formulated a multi-layered approach to hydrating the skin; ampoules, creams, serums and renewal solutions which all focus on moisture, radiance, relief from irritation and renewal.

The products we recommend are the Goats Milk Ampoule, the high-potency C-TOX eye cream and the Aqua Infusion Water Drop Cream.

“The trio has proved to be a powerhouse combination when added to my skincare regime,” says Annabel, Société editor. “I’ve always had chronic dry skin but Dr esthé’s combination of ampoule and cream protected it from dehydration.

My skin’s water content increased immediately after application, and the surface became smoother by filling in spaces between skin flakes.”

On this occasion, my skin was struggling with the changes in season and I wanted to prioritise taking care of the skin’s barrier before I tried to tackle signs of ageing and sensitivity.

I sourced Dr esthé from Leeds-based skin clinic, Medifine, which stocks only the best products on their virtual beauty shelves. Browse a few of our other reviews of the great products Medifine sources.

I usually tell my clinician at Medifine about the skin concerns I’m having at any given time in my life and they will match me with the most effective regime suited for my skin.

In conclusion, moisturising skincare products are an essential part of any skincare routine. They work to provide the hydration your skin needs, without leaving behind a greasy residue or causing breakouts.

So, say goodbye to dry, dull skin and hello to a glowing, hydrated complexion with Dr. esthé available in the UK only at Medifine Skin Clinic.
