New Korean skincare products [January 2021 – Weeks 3 & 4]
Given the sheer amount of Korean beauty products launching every month, it’s hard to keep up with what’s new in K-Beauty. To help you navigate the complex world of Korean Beauty, every week I break down the hottest beauty launches coming from Korea.
Unlike with my monthly posts on K-Beauty bestsellers, you won’t find any link to purchase these products as they just became available in Korea.
But without further ado, here are the latest Korean skincare offerings of the week! Don’t forget to check out this week’s make-up launches as well.
Dr. G – Dermoisture Barrier.D
Gowoonsesang Cosmetics’s dermacosmetic brand Dr.G launched “Dermoisture Barrier.D“, a new moisturising line designed to take care of weakened skin and strengthen skin’s natural defenses.
All products in the line contain 7-Dehydrocholesterol, a Pro-Vitamin D complex that helps rebalance skin and protect it from external aggressions.
Additionally, the line also features a 3:1:1 combination of ceramide, cholesterol and fatty acids to support skin barrier function, along with fillagrin, a protein that plays a crucial role in the structure of the skin. Lastly, Dr.G. formulated these products using a Lamellar-in-Lamellar structure, a lipid structure that mimics the natural structure of the skin and helps lock in moisture, shield skin from external aggressions and improve absorption of active ingredients.
The line completed human skin irritation tests and is suitable for sensitive skin types. Below the full product line-up:
Dermoisture Barrier.D Intense Cream

Thanks its very minimalist formula, comprising only of Centella Asiatica Extract and Madecassoside, the product suits even the most sensitive skin types.
Compared to A’Pieu’s standard “Madecassoside Ampoule”, this version is said to be 10 times more concentrated and effective.
The ampoule has a water-like texture that is easily absorbed by skin, leaving it hydrated a long time. H&Bio Skin Research Center conducted a series of human clinical trials and confirmed that “Madecassoside Ampoule 2x” soothes irritated skin after just one application and it’s also suitable for sensitive skin types.
