K-Beauty News: Reviews Matter More Than Ever

As online beauty shopping has become the norm, customer reviews carry more weight than ever. In color cosmetics especially, shoppers lean on swatches and real-skin photos to decide if a shade or tone will suit them.

Pro tip: when in doubt, search for reviews on a skin tone similar to yours, then patch test before a full face.

Trend: The Pet-conomy (펫코노미)

  • Pet households continue to rise in Korea, expanding adjacent beauty categories.
  • Brands are exploring vegan pet shampoos, gentle mists, dental care and deodorizing care.
  • With birth rates down and pet companionship up, cosmetic companies are testing pet-friendly lines.

Question of the Week: Can I use Vitamin C with Niacinamide?

Short answer: yes. They offer complementary brightening and barrier benefits. Older concerns about niacin flush came from mixing unstable ingredients under high heat in lab conditions, not real-world skincare routines.

Why we love Vitamin C

  • Helps reduce the look of dark spots and even tone
  • Supports collagen synthesis
  • Antioxidant defense

Why we love Niacinamide

  • Helps visible hyperpigmentation
  • Supports balanced oil and the look of pores
  • Softens the appearance of fine lines

Sensitive? Introduce slowly and patch test first.
