Korean skincare has taken the world by storm, celebrated for its gentle approach and impressive results. It’s built on one clear philosophy: great skin comes from consistent care, not quick fixes.
At Eden SkinStore, our doctor and skin specialist-led team has adapted the famous Korean skincare routine for Irish skin, combining K-beauty’s innovative layering techniques with products that suit our cool, humid climate. If you’ve ever admired the “glass skin” glow, this is your step-by-step guide to achieving it, tailored for real Irish conditions.
Irish skin can be sensitive, dry, and prone to redness due to constant changes in temperature and humidity. Korean skincare works brilliantly here because it focuses on hydration, skin barrier health, and prevention rather than aggressive exfoliation.
These products are designed to work in harmony, layering lightweight moisture and nourishment to protect and strengthen your skin over time. The result? Softer, smoother, more radiant skin, without irritation.

Every great routine begins with a proper cleanse. Korean skincare champions the “double cleanse”. First, removing makeup and sunscreen with an oil-based cleanser, then using a gentle second step to purify the skin.
Start with the Beauty of Joseon Radiance Cleansing Balm, which melts away makeup and impurities while leaving your skin hydrated and smooth. Follow up with the Medicube Zero Pore Pad 2.0 to sweep away excess oil and refine texture without drying.
You’ll find more gentle options in our Korean Cleansers collection.
Toning helps rebalance your skin’s pH and prepare it for the next steps. Korean toners are lightweight and hydrating, designed to soften and plump rather than tighten.
We recommend the Medicube Triple Collagen Toner, which nourishes and firms while providing a burst of moisture. Apply it with your fingertips, pressing it gently into the skin for maximum absorption.
Serums deliver concentrated ingredients to address specific concerns — from dullness to fine lines.
If your goal is brightness and even tone, the Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum, is a customer favourite. Its blend of niacinamide and propolis extract helps soothe, balance, and restore radiance.
For anti-ageing or firmness, try the Medicube Triple Collagen Serum, which deeply hydrates and supports elasticity.

Moisturising is key to maintaining a healthy barrier and ensuring all the hydration from previous steps stays sealed in.
For most skin types, the Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream offers lightweight nourishment with rice bran water and ginseng, leaving the skin dewy but never greasy.
If your skin tends to feel tight or reactive, the Medicube Triple Collagen Cream provides a rich, soothing finish that deeply replenishes.

The most important step of all. Sunscreen protects against UV damage, premature ageing, and pigmentation, and Korean sunscreens are known for their elegant, lightweight textures.
The Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun SPF 50+ is an everyday essential. It offers broad-spectrum protection while feeling weightless on the skin, making it perfect for daily wear in Ireland’s ever-changing weather.

“Korean skincare is a long-term investment in your skin’s health. Irish skin thrives when you focus on hydration, protection, and gentle consistency — that’s where the real glow comes from.”
