The truth ageing is that ageing happens to eceryone. When we talk about anti-ageing skincare, it’s important that we don’t create a negative rhetoric around the concept of ‘ageing’.
Rather than instilling a fear around the process of ageing, we want to discuss how and why our skin ages.
Once we turn about 25, we begin to lose around 1% of our skin’s collagen per year. As we lose collagen, we see other signs; a loss of elasticity (or bounciness) and fine lines start to appear.
Depending on the climate in which we live and the amount of melanin in our skin, we will start to see pigmentation and sunspots. All of this is natural.
Lifestyle, genetics, and environmental factors also play a part when it comes to the ageing of your skin. Last but not least (and this is one of the things you can control!) how we care for our skin.
If you're looking for some of the best Korean anti-aging products then read on!
A product that arguably needs no introduction when it comes to anti-aging Korean beauty products is Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Serum (50ml).
This luxury Korean Beauty serum features encapsulated ginseng. It targets fine-lines, texture and tone, improving skin's overall bounce.
Remember - your skincare ends at your neck, not your chin. Seeing as the neck is one of the first places to show obvious signs of aging it pays to treat it separately.
In addition, and most importantly, it contains safe, gentle ingredients. Firstly, it stars Peptide 4X Complex (SH-Oligopeptide-1, SH-Oligopeptide-2, SH-Polypeptide-11, and Copper Tripeptide-1). This blend is known for providing 360 degree care for the signs of aging.
Additionally, it improves elasticity and also diminishes the look of wrinkles. This makes the skin on your neck look younger, smoother and more vibrant.
Essence is one of the most important steps in a Korean skincare routine, particularly when it comes to aging.
That's because essence formulas are designed to treat the skin on a cellular level. This facial repair essence contains a veritable buffet of hard-hitting ingredients to support skin at all ages. EGF is ideal for supporting a youthful looking complexion.
Supporting ingredients include:
Niacinamide, which improves skin tone by reducing the appearance of enlarged pores and fine lines.
Green Teaand Sea Buckthorn extract for anti-oxidant benefits
Sodium Hyaluronate for skin-replenishing benefits
Panthenol (Vitamin B5) to help skin retain moisture
Retinol is a stellar ingredient - the gold standard in anti-aging but if you're looking to introduce retinol into your skincare routine, it's important to start with the right product. APLB Retinol Vitamin A Moisture Creamis the ideal moisturiser to start with. Not only does this peptide and retinol-infused cream provide deep hydration, it also helps manage anti-aging concerns.
Retinol Vitamin A Moisturise Cream is a beautifully textured moisturiser that contains all the ingredients we expect to see in a good anti-aging formula - collagen, squalane, retinol, peptides, niacinamide, adenosine and beta glucan. It also contains some of this year's hottest-trending Korean ingredients for brightening dull skin, Sea Buckthorn and Licorice!
The cream has a thick texture that immediately spreads once applied to the skin. The cream has a divine, light calendula scent.

Luxury for the skin defined, The History Of Whoo Jinyulhyang Red Wild Ginseng Facial Oilis ideal for anti aging because it contains highly concentrated wild Red Ginseng extracts. Further, almond oil and other herbal ingredients provide intensive care to mature skin.
They assist to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. No ingredient is more prized in Korean beauty than wild red ginseng. That's because of the ability it has to transform the skin.
However, because the process for extracting red ginseng is so much more difficult than cultivated ginseng, it is not a cheap ingredient. That's why you will only find it in the most truly luxurious Korean skincare products. Like this beloved facial oil. The History Of Whoo Jinyulhyang Red Wild Ginseng Facial Oil is a once in a lifetime, must-try product for true lovers of Korean skin care products.
