Every year, more and more cosmetic products produced in Korea appear on the market.

Despite this, many users, or rather, female users, are skeptical about cosmetics from the Land of the Morning Calm.

Proof of this is the widespread myth that Korean cosmetics are not suitable for European women.

Let's look into this issue together.

Indeed, the skin of Asian women has its own characteristics: it is denser and more elastic, since it contains more collagen. The main problem of Korean or Chinese women is not wrinkles, like European women, but hyperpigmentation: dark spots appear on the forehead, cheeks, lips, etc.

In addition, Asian skin types are characterized by increased activity of the sebaceous glands.

Of course, when producing cosmetic products, all these factors are taken into account, as well as cultural characteristics and the high level of pollution inherent in Asian megacities.

As a result, the emphasis in Korean cosmetics is on cleansing and moisturizing the skin, as well as on the whitening effect.

However, this does not mean that it is not suitable for European women. The choice of products is really wide, and you can find suitable products for different skin types.

Moreover, large manufacturers have already adapted their products to the needs of the European and American markets.
