Retinol - derived from vitamin A, is considered by many cosmetic experts and dermatologists to be a "hero" thanks to its ability to prevent aging and acne treatment.However, when coming to Korea, Retinol was no longer so popular.On beauty forums, many members were extremely surprised about this difference.
Koreans always desire for a beautiful and flawless skin, they invest in a sophisticated skin but lacks Retinol
Koreans have a lot of skin care but I have not seen anyone using the product containing retinoids
Why is Retinoid not popular in Korea or Asia?Because it is difficult for cosmetic companies to find the formula effectively without causing skin to be irritated
1. Koreans prefer smooth moist skin like hydrated
Koreans think that the skin is thin (the skin looks like water underneath, different from the skin that is thin, revealing capillaries and sensitive) is considered to look young, full of vitality.Therefore, they always want to own a plump, soft skin like children's skin with a thin texture but still have enough collagen and toned, covered with dew.
However, when using Retinol can cause completely different side effects compared to the desires of Korean girls.In the early stages of retinol, the skin will become weaker, thin, sensitive and rough.Although many studies have shown that the later period Retinol really helps thicken the epidermis to make the skin healthier, firm and have better elasticity - but obviously for girls who do not have enough perseverance, RetinolNot the most effective solution.Alicia Yoon (Korean cosmetic specialist, founder of Peach & Lily cosmetic brand) once shared: "I personally do not like Retinol because I have very sensitive skin and any skin must go throughThe adaptive stage when using Retinol ".
2. Koreans believe that skin care from a very young age will be more effective
Korean women start skin care early and maintain meticulous steps of dozens of steps every day with the goal of preventing signs of aging to gradually look up, do not prefer rapid changes and rapid changes andToo different.They also believe that skin care habits from a very young age will help the skin more beautiful than until the aging skin "sending faith" into a miraculous product like Retiniol.Alicia Yoon once said: "I don't believe the skin aging process can be controlled with just one product. It also depends on how you care for your skin, lifestyle and diet."
Of course these are only two subjective reasons why many Koreans do not like to use Retinol.In fact, this is still an anti -aging active ingredient favored by many Western dermatologists because of its effective anti -aging.Currently, many beauty believers or Korean cosmetic brands have also been put into production of Retinol products.
