There’s a reason Korean beauty products have taken the U.S. by storm. They’re innovative, elegant, and affordable! In February, I published an article about my favorite K-beauty sunscreens – featuring the Centella Calming Daily Sunscreen by iUnik.
iUnik’s approach to skincare is simple; to hydrate, calm, and relieve the skin. The cruelty-free brand sent me their Centella Calming line, as well as the best selling Calendula Cleansing Oil and Beta-Glucan products. Here are my standouts of the bunch:
Centella Calming Daily Sunscreen ($15.99 USD)
We start with the Centella Calming SPF, a product that has a permanent spot in my skincare regimen. It shields your skin against the sun’s harsh rays, while remaining elegant and moisturizing. With an SPF rating of 50 PA++++, it ensures protection against UVA and UVB rays. The lightweight formula glides on the skin, leaving no white cast, a common annoyance with sunscreens. As someone who suffers from blepharitis, the inflammation of the eyelids, I can happily use this product without any stinging throughout the day. Thanks to the centella extract known for its soothing properties, the entire Centella Calming Line is sure to soothe your skin when it’s compromised.
Calendula Cleansing Oil ($21.99 USD)
If you like cleansing oils, the Calendula Cleansing Oil is a testament to iUnik’s commitment to gentle yet effective cleansing. It melts away makeup and impurities without stripping the skin of its natural oils. The infusion of calendula works to calm the skin as you cleanse, making the removal of the day’s buildup a therapeutic ritual.
Beta-Glucan Power Deep Moisture Vegan Serum ($19.99 USD)
The Beta-Glucan Power Deep Moisture Vegan Serum is like a quenching drink for dry, dehydrated skin. It’s formulated with a high concentration of beta-glucan, known to rival hyaluronic acid. One of my favorites from iUnik, this serum is slightly thicker than most, but sinks into the skin effortlessly.
Beta-Glucan Daily Moisture Cream ($15.99 USD)
If any iUnik product rivals the SPF as my favorite, it’s the Beta-Glucan Daily Moisture Cream. A thicker gel-cream, its harmonious blend of moisture and nourishment is perfect for day or night wear. Although not too heavy or too light, I love mixing in a few drops of a rose-hip seed oil for extra nourishment overnight. It’s like a gentle embrace for your skin, and layers perfectly over the matching serum for an ultra-hydrating duo.
iUnik encourages their customers to “Be Natural, Be Beautiful, Be You,” a mantra I standby every day. Each product act as a pillar of support for sensitive skin, working in unison to create a routine that soothes, protects, and revitalizes.
You can find iUnik’s products on their official website or select online retailers.
