Glass skin: the Korean trend explained simply

"Glass skin" describes skin so well hydrated and so even that it seems to reflect light like glass. It is not a particular complexion or a specific skin tone: it is a result of hydration, refined skin texture and radiance — achievable on all skin tones.

What builds a glass skin effect

• Layered hydration, from serum to cream, rather than a single rich product: try the Hydrating Serum then the Double Hydration Gel + HA.
• Refined skin texture thanks to gentle, regular exfoliation, never harsh.
• An intact skin barrier — irritated skin can never look smooth, whatever products are used.

This is precisely where niacinamide and hyaluronic acid come in: the first refines texture and evens tone (Niacinamide Moisturizing Gel), the second holds water in the surface layers of the skin for that bouncy look so characteristic.

Glass skin is not a one-off goal but the result of a routine kept up over time — allow several weeks before seeing the difference. See also: the 10-step Korean routine.
