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 The Monodist breaks down the hottest beauty launches coming from Korea.

Mamonde – Rose Hydra Glory Ampoule

Mamonde announced the launch of “Rose Hydra Glory Ampoule“.

The newly released “Rose Hydra Glory Ampoule” is an illuminating and hydrating ampoule that gives skin three-dimensional radiance thanks to Rose HD Complex™, which combines Damask Rose Water and 5-Fold Hyaluronic Acid.

The product boasts a watery formula that is lightweight and yet, deeply hydrating. It’s a fast-acting ampoule that is rapidly absorbed and leaves a thin, non-sticky moisture film on the surface of the skin, quickly replenishing skin with just one application.

It contains 60.4% Damask Rose Water, the key ingredient of Mamonde’s Rose Water line, and provides intense hydration with five different molecular weights of Hyaluronic Acid. It also contains microbiome ingredients to support skin barrier function and peptides to increase skin elasticity.

Mamonde’s “Rose Hydra Glory Ampoule” improves moisture retention by 631% immediately after use, and deeply hydrates skin by penetrating up to 10 layers deep into skin surface. In addition, the moisture film formed by the ampoule was shown to last for 72 hours and skin texture showed 100% improvement immediately after use.

Dr.G – Greenmide™ line

Gowoonsesang Cosmetics’s dermacosmetic brand Dr.G launched “Greenmide™” a vegan moisturising skincare line. The line consists of two product to restore moisture in dry and dehydrated skin: “Greenmide™ Moisture Relief Cream” and “Greenmide™ Moisture Barrier Calm Essence“.

“Greenmide™ Moisture Relief Cream” is a moisturising cream that restore moisture to dry skin.

The lamellar-in-lamellar texture mimics the natural structure of the skin and protects weakened skin barrier, while second skin technology allows quicker absorption of moisturising ingredients, delivering comfortable moisture without weighing down the skin.
