The customer problem

Breakouts, oiliness and redness are among the most searched skincare concerns, and shoppers often look for gentle products that do not dry the skin out. Korean brands built a large range of mild, everyday care for blemish-prone skin that sells well online and in stores.

  • How commonAbout 1 in 5 people in East Asia (20.2%) and Latin America (23.9%) report acne, and 16.1% in the Middle East (Pierre Fabre ALL study, 2024).Source
  • Adults tooAdult acne (age 25+) cases rose 66.6% worldwide from 1990 to 2021 and are projected to keep rising to 2030.Source
  • Patch boomPimple patches alone are a market of about USD 1 billion, growing around 11–12% a year.Source

How Korean skincare answers it

  1. 01

    Soothing ingredients

    Centella asiatica (cica), tea tree, mugwort and heartleaf help calm the look of redness and keep skin comfortable.

  2. 02

    Low-irritation routines

    Weakly acidic cleansers, light toners and oil-free moisturizers support the skin barrier instead of stripping it.

  3. 03

    Targeted spot care

    Spot serums and patches let customers care for blemishes without changing their whole routine.

FAQ

Can I order samples first?

Yes. Choose "Samples only" as the quantity and we will confirm sample availability and cost with each brand.

What is the minimum order quantity?

It depends on the brand and product. Each card shows the MOQ when the brand has set one; otherwise we confirm it in the quote.

Can products be labeled for my market?

Many brands can provide local-language labels or stickers. Tick "Labeling" in the form and we will check it.

Do you offer exclusive distribution?

Some brands consider exclusive rights for a country after a first order. Tick "Exclusive distribution" and tell us your market.

Which products sell best?

By volume, the tea tree moisture cream (17,000+ reviews on Coupang) and the hydrocolloid spot patches (6,500+ reviews in Korea, and two Amazon US listings each selling 1,000+ a month). For a first order many buyers start with the starter set: patches, a gentle cleanser and a cream.

Are they suitable for sensitive skin?

The enzyme powder wash is listed on Olive Young as suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin, and 99% of its 3,300+ reviews are 5 stars. We can send ingredient lists for every product with your quote.

Can I use the same acne wording in my market?

Descriptions here follow the Korean listings. Permitted claims differ by country, so we check your market and send labelling and claim notes with the quote.

Product descriptions follow how each product is marketed in Korea. Review numbers and rankings are from the named stores at the time we collected them. Registration and permitted claims vary by market; we confirm them for your country with each quote. Prices are shared by email or messenger after your request.
