Blog - Korean Skincare Tips, Guides and Insights

Get ready, skincare lovers—Skinsider has a new Korean skincare marvel in the offer! We’re absolutely obsessed with Lagom’s minimalist skincare approach, and today we’re beyond excited to introduce the latest addition to their incredible K-beauty lineup. But before we dive in, let’s take it from the top. Here’s everything you need to know about Lagom and their game-changing White Kaolin Mud Mask that I have tested in person!

Lagom is a K-Beauty brand established in 2015, inspired by the Swedish word “Lagom,” which translates to "balance" or "just the right amount." This philosophy is at the heart of their skincare line, focusing on creating products that nourish and maintain balanced, healthy skin. Each Lagom product is carefully tested by beauty experts to ensure it enhances your skin’s natural glow while providing just the right level of care.

You might be wondering what makes their products so special. The answer? Everything!

All LAGOM products feature patented AQUALICIA®, a peptide linked to the Nobel Prize-winning discovery of Aquaporin 3, a channel that facilitates water transport within the skin. AQUALICIA® boosts skin hydration by enhancing moisture retention. This patented ingredient, derived from the enzymatic hydrolysis of Acacia Macrostachya seeds, not only moisturizes but also reactivates the production of filaggrin and Aquaporin 3 to prevent water loss and reinforce the skin barrier. Combined with low-molecular hyaluronic acid and jojoba oil, it ensures long-lasting hydration, even in dry conditions.

But that’s not all. Lagom also prides itself on being 100% vegan and cruelty-free, offering ethical and effective skincare solutions. Yes, Korean skincare routine can be minimalistic and sustainable.

Product Overview: Lagom White Kaolin Mud Mask and clear skin days ahead!

Lagom White Kaolin Mud Mask combines three types of natural clay with AHA, BHA, and PHA acids. It also containsCentella Asiatica Extract, Houttuynia Cordata Extract, and Niacinamide. The formula is enriched with hyaluronic acid and ceramides, making it ideal for nourishing and rejuvenating the skin. The product comes in a sleek, white 110 ml packaging, accompanied by a spatula for easy application.

Texture and Fragrance

The mask itself has a white, slightly creamy texture and a captivating, delicate flower fragrance. It’s very thick, creamy, and smooth, with impressive coverage—a 110 ml jar will last through numerous applications.

Application experience

Applying the product is effortless; the mask is dense, effective, and stays in place without sliding off the face. The sensation after application is very pleasant—the skin feels wrapped in a comforting layer without being suffocated or sticky.

My experience of using the Korean wash off mask for the first time

What’struly amazing about the Lagom White Kaolin Mud Mask is that it never dries out. This means you won’t experience any itchiness, redness, or sensitivity that typical clay masks often cause!

After waiting for 15 minutes, I rinsed off the mask with lukewarm water. Because of its rich consistency, removing it wasn't the easiest task, but that's to be expected from such a nourishing formula.

Once the mask was removed, my skin felt incredibly comfortable and soothed. It appeared brighter, glowing, and my pores looked tightened. My complexion was more even, and post-acne scars had visibly faded. I didn’t expect such noticeable results from just one use of any mask, so I was pleasantly surprised.

After One Month of Use

After using the Lagom White Kaolin Mud Mask consistently for a month (about twice a week), the results have been remarkable. My skin feels noticeably smoother and more balanced. The regular use has significantly improved the texture and clarity of my skin, with a reduction in the appearance of pores and post-acne scars. The evenness of my complexion has improved, and the natural glow has become more pronounced. The mask’s gentle formula continues to provide a soothing and comfortable experience, making it a staple in my skincare routine. Overall, the mask has exceeded my expectations, delivering long-lasting benefits and visible improvement.

Lagom White Kaolin Mud Mask- The ultimate skin treat

The Lagom White Kaolin Mud Mask is an impressive addition to any skincare routine. Its luxurious, rich formula not only provides immediate brightening and soothing effects but also delivers long-term benefits with consistent use. It’s an ideal choice for those looking to achieve a balanced, glowing complexion while treating concerns like enlarged pores and post-acne scars. This mask proves that you can have it all—effective results and a luxurious skincare experience.

I recommend this mask to anyone in need of deep hydration, renewal, and improved skin tone and texture. It is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin.

Complete Your Skincare Routine

If you decide to incorporate the Lagom White Kaolin Mud Mask into your routine, I also have a few product recommendations that will work beautifully alongside it. Here's a complete skincare routine to help you achieve balanced, glowing skin:

• Cleanser: Try gentle yet effective cleanser like the LAGOM Cellup PH Cure Foam Cleanser. It cleanses deeply without stripping the skin of its natural moisture, preparing your skin for the rest of your routine.

• Toner: Follow up with Lagom Cellus Mild Moisture Cream Toner to restore moisture and balance your skin. This toner calms and hydrates, providing an ideal base for the rest of your routine.

• Essence: For an added layer of hydration and nourishment, incorporate the Lagom Cellus Revive Essence Toner. It boosts your skin's glow and helps with firming, leaving you with a fresh, dewy look.

• Serum: To target specific skin concerns like uneven tone or dehydration, use a serum rich in Niacinamide. A great example is the Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum, which brightens, evens skin tone, and adds a healthy glow, working perfectly alongside the mask’s benefits.

• Moisturizer: Lagom Cellus Deep Moisture Cream – This moisturizer is enriched with ceramides and hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate and strengthen the skin barrier. Complementing the rich formula of the mask, it also features the patented Aqualicia™ technology, which rejuvenates and provides intense hydration to the skin.

• Sunscreen: Finish your routine with LAGOM Cellus Sun Gel SPF50 PA+++. This lightweight yet highly protective sunscreen shields your skin from harmful UV rays without feeling greasy, making it ideal for daily use.
