Step 1 : Double Cleansing

The foundation of the glass skin routine is Double Cleansing, a two-step method designed to gently remove all impurities from the skin.
Start with a milk cleanser to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum while soothing the skin with its creamy texture.

Next, use a foam cleanser to remove any remaining debris, sweat, and impurities, leaving the skin feeling refreshed and clean.
Foam cleansers create a light, airy lather that deeply cleanses pores without stripping moisture from the skin.

On days when makeup is minimal or light, using just a milk cleanser may be sufficient for a thorough yet gentle cleanse, minimizing skin irritation.

Recommended Korean Product

Rich Cleansing Milk
500ml

This formula features a patented blend of air-purifying plants—Liriope (Mondo Grass), Chrysanthemum, and Water Hyacinth—known to help eliminate harmful heavy metals and leave the skin in a cleaner, healthier state. A complex of seven types of hyaluronic acid provides deep hydration and helps prevent moisture loss, keeping the skin soft, supple, and moisturized.


How to Use

  1. Apply the product to your face as the first step of cleansing, then gently massage it in using circular motions.
  2. Rinse off with lukewarm water.

Recommended Korean Product

Rich Bubble Cleanser
100ml

With its gel-cream texture, it can be used on both damp and dry skin. This product contains three key ingredients—BioDToX™, Saccharide Isomerate, and Phyto Marine Complex—which help to soothe the skin, regulate oil and moisture balance, improve skin tone and texture, and provide deep hydration and nourishment.


How to Use

  1. Dispense an amount about the size of a 500-won coin.
    (Roughly equivalent to the size of a large coin.)
  2. Apply a 1–2 mm thick layer evenly across the face.
  3. Bubbles will start to form immediately upon application.
  4. Leave on for 3 to 10 minutes to allow the oxygen bubbles to fully activate.
    (Light bubbling may begin within 3 minutes and continue up to 10 minutes.)
  5. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Step 2 : Exfoliation

After cleansing, Exfoliation helps to reveal the skin’s natural glow by removing dull, dead skin cells and promoting cell renewal.
This step smooths the texture and evens out skin tone, allowing subsequent products to penetrate more effectively.

Exfoliation products should be carefully chosen based on skin type and sensitivity.
For sensitive skin, opt for gentle, naturally derived exfoliants or mild peeling products.
For oily or thicker skin, enzyme-based or mild acidic exfoliants are more suitable.
Selecting the right product helps minimize irritation while achieving effective exfoliation.

Recommended Korean Product

Derma Gum
50ml

It is a gommage-type exfoliator with no abrasive particles, making it suitable even for sensitive skin.


How to Use

  • Apply a thin layer to the face and neck. Scrub with gentle movements. Then, with wet fingertips, continue the exfoliation. Rinse. 1 to 2 times a week.

Step 3 : Toner

After exfoliation, Toner replenishes moisture and balances the skin.
A high-quality toner feels like a refreshing drink for your face, instantly hydrating and calming any post-cleanse sensitivity.

It refines pores and restores the skin’s optimal pH, creating the perfect base for layering richer treatments.

Recommended Korean Product

Hydrating Toner 195ml &
Hydrating Essence 6ml

A revitalizing toner with botanical extracts that balance and hydrate the skin while enhancing its smoothness and clarity.
When used in a foam bottle, the toner turns into a foam texture, which allows for faster absorption.


How to Use

  1. Add the Hydrating Essence, a probiotic concentrate, to the Hydrating Toner.
  2. Close the lid and shake well.
  3. After cleansing, dispense an appropriate amount and gently pat into the skin until fully absorbed.

Recommended Korean Product

Azulene Soother Toner
500ml

A hydrating toner with a chamomile flower extract base and azulene formula, designed to soothe and calm sensitive and delicate skin.
When used in a foam bottle, the toner turns into a foam texture, which allows for faster absorption.

Step 4: Essence / Serum

The Essence is the heart of the Korean glass skin routine – a step devoted to deep hydration and enhanced absorption. An essence is lighter than a serum but richer than a toner, delivering concentrated moisture and nutrients deep into the skin. Gently patting on an essence helps improve elasticity and imparts a natural, radiant glow. This feather-light layer enhances the skin’s hydration and prepares it to receive active ingredients more effectively.

A Serum is the potent elixir that targets specific skin concerns, delivering active ingredients to brighten, firm, or rejuvenate. Whether it’s a vitamin C serum for radiance or a peptide blend for smoothness, serums enhance the skin’s overall clarity and vitality.

Recommended Product

Azulene Soother Peel Serum
50ml

Azulene Soother Peel Serum contains 85% chamomile flower water to calm the skin, and gently exfoliates with low-irritation ingredients like PHA and LHA. It also includes panthenol, allantoin, and beta-glucan to help with hydration and strengthening the skin barrier. Natural salicylic acid derived from willow bark aids in sebum control and improving skin elasticity. This is a gentle daily peeling serum suitable even for sensitive skin.


How to Use

  1. After cleansing in the evening, apply toner to prepare your skin.
  2. Dispense an appropriate amount of the peel serum and spread it evenly over your face.
  3. Leave it on for 1–2 minutes, then follow with an ampoule and cream. For sensitive skin, it is recommended to use once a week and adjust the frequency based on your skin condition.

Recommended Korean Product

Double First Essence
92ml

This dual-layer formula features a moisture layer and an oil layer that work together to enhance radiance and deliver deep hydration.

The moisture layer contains HyalOcta Complex, a blend of 8 types of hyaluronic acid with low, medium, and high molecular weights. This multi-dimensional hydration system helps replenish and retain moisture both on the surface and deep within the skin, addressing inner dryness.

The oil layer is composed of sweet almond oil, which closely resembles the skin’s natural lipid barrier, and vitamin E, known for its powerful antioxidant properties.

With its excellent spreadability and fast absorption, the formula leaves your skin hydrated and glowing—without any stickiness.


How to Use

  1. Shake the bottle well before use to thoroughly mix the oil and moisture layers.
  2. After cleansing, take an appropriate amount of the mixed Double First Essence and gently apply it as a toner. Pat lightly with your palms for better absorption.

Recommended Korean Product

Concentrated Waterdrop
30ml

Effectively targets skin concerns such as flakiness, inner dryness, uneven texture, and makeup that won’t stay put due to dehydration. Ideal for skin that feels tight and dry even after moisturizing.

Yeast extract forms a moisturizing barrier to help revitalize tired skin, enhancing radiance and glow. AHA derived from citrus fruits gently promotes skin turnover, providing a mild daily peeling effect.


How to Use

  1. After cleansing, apply toner and allow it to fully absorb.
  2. Suitable for use both morning and night. Pump 1–3 times and gently apply to the skin, avoiding the eye and lip areas.
  3. For sensitive skin, start with one pump and mix with another serum or cream. Gradually increase the amount based on your skin’s condition.

Recommended Korean Product

Viola Tricolor waterdrop
60ml

This flawless brightening ampoule is formulated with tranexamic acid to enhance skin clarity and radiance. It helps improve pigmentation caused by various factors, while refining skin texture and evening out skin tone.

Tranexamic acid is known for being a safe, gentle, and non-irritating brightening ingredient, with fewer side effects compared to hydroquinone. It is especially effective in reducing dark spots caused by UV exposure.


How to Use

  1. After applying to the skin, gently massage in with light rolling motions to aid absorption.
  2. Reapply to targeted areas of concern for enhanced benefits.
  3. For dry areas, layer the product multiple times for better results. For visible improvements, consistent daily use is recommended for at least 8 to 12 weeks

Step 5 : Mask Pack

A Mask Pack delivers an intensive boost of hydration, nourishment, and revitalization to the skin.
Whether it’s brightening, soothing, or firming, using a mask pack 2-3 times a week adds a luxurious touch to your skincare routine.

The cooling and calming sensation during application promotes both relaxation and visible revitalization, leaving the skin plump and glowing.

Recommended Korean Product

Azulene Soother Mask

Formulated with 87% chamomile flower water instead of purified water, this mask helps quickly soothe irritated skin. The bio-cellulose sheet adheres seamlessly to the skin, helping to lower skin temperature and enhance absorption.

Each sheet is infused with a generous amount of essence—equivalent to more than six 5ml ampoules—providing intensive hydration and care in a single mask.


How to Use

  1. After cleansing, prepare your skin with toner.
  2. Take out the mask and apply it to your face, placing the side with the mesh film onto the skin.
  3. Then, gently remove the outer translucent non-woven layer.
  4. Apply any remaining essence over the mask to boost absorption.
  5. Leave the mask on for about 15–20 minutes. After removing the mask, gently pat the remaining essence into the skin.

Step 6 : Eye Cream

To care for the delicate eye area, an Eye Cream targets fine lines, dark circles, and puffiness.
A well-formulated eye cream hydrates and revitalizes the eye contour, giving it a brighter and more youthful appearance.

Step 7 : Moisturizer

The Moisturizer is the final sealing step, locking in all previous layers of hydration and reinforcing the skin’s moisture barrier. It ensures lasting suppleness and prevents dehydration.

Recommended Korean Product

60ml

This cream is a post-procedure recovery cream ideal for sensitive and dry skin. It contains 7 types of peptides, panthenol, and ceramides to strengthen the skin barrier and deeply hydrate the skin.

The formula also includes ingredients that help inhibit melanin production, preventing pigmentation.

This cream is especially effective in calming and restoring skin after dermatological treatments.


How to Use

  1. After cleansing and applying toner or serum, take an appropriate amount of the cream and gently apply it to the entire face.
  2. Massage lightly to aid absorption, focusing on areas that feel dry or irritated. Use in the morning and evening as the final step of your skincare routine. For post-procedure care, apply generously to help soothe and restore the skin. Avoid using on broken skin or immediately after invasive treatments without professional guidance.

Step 8 : Sun Protection
