The Ritual

The 8-Step Evening Ritual

Follow this 3–4 nights a week. Give it 6 weeks. The results will speak for themselves.

1
Haruharu Oil Cleanser + Foreo Luna 4
Double Cleanse
Apply cleansing oil to dry skin, work in circular motions for 30 seconds. Add water to emulsify, then use Foreo Luna for 60 seconds. Every trace of SPF, makeup and daily buildup lifts away.

2
Medicube Zero Pore Collagen Mask — 2x per week
Pore Mask
Apply a generous layer to clean dry skin. Leave for 20 minutes. The collagen tightens skin around pores while actives clear from within. Use Sunday and Wednesday for best results.

Medicube Zero Pore Pads — on non-mask nights
Pore Pads
Textured side first — swipe gently upward across face. Flip to smooth side and press to absorb the treatment serum. Do not rinse. The actives continue working overnight.

Beauty of Joseon Rice Toner
Tone & Reset
Pour onto clean hands and press gently all over — never wipe. The pressing motion drives the toner into skin. Fermented rice water soothes any tingling and begins layering hydration.

Anua Heartleaf Serum or Beauty of Joseon Vit C Serum
Treat with Serum
Alternate between serums on different evenings. Anua = calming, pore-refining. Vitamin C = brightening, collagen-building. Apply 3–4 drops and press into skin. Wait 60 seconds before next step.

Beauty of Joseon Vitamin C Glow Cream
Glow Cream
A 5p coin-sized amount warmed in fingertips, pressed evenly across face. Niacinamide blurs the appearance of pores while building a luminous base layer beneath your final moisturiser.

La Roche-Posay Anti-Blackhead Cream
Targeted Treatment
Apply a small amount to problem areas only — nose, chin and forehead. Lipo-hydroxy acid gently dissolves blackhead-causing sebum overnight. Do not apply to dry cheeks. Always follow with moisturiser.

Haruharu Probiotics Essence + Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream
Seal & Restore
Probiotics Essence first — press in, wait 60 seconds. Then Dynasty Cream warmed in hands and pressed all over face, neck and décolleté. This final step locks in everything. Never skip it.
