Beauty Enthusiasts, Unite!
Beauty and skincare aficionados know that no one does it quite like Erborian. Effortless and effective products are their specialty. Imagine the perfection of combining their expertise with the renowned 12-step K Beauty regimen. Erborian, a Korean brand created by skincare expert Katalin Berenyi and Korean scientist Hojung, merges Asian skincare knowledge and rituals into a simple routine for modern women. Drawing inspiration from Oriental skincare practices, Erborian infuses a carefree attitude and elegant fragrances into their products.
Erborian, meaning “Natural Herbs of the Orient,” was founded by two women passionate about beauty. Hojung, a Korean researcher, dreamed of sharing the secrets of Oriental beauty worldwide. Katalin Berenyi, a global beauty explorer, scours the globe for beauty rituals and tips from different cultures.
“When I created Erborian with Hojung, it felt like the natural thing to do. Women worldwide share a beauty that is unique, authentic, and natural.” – Katalin Berenyi, President and co-founder.
Established in 2007, Erborian boasts a few cult-favorite products that we are excited to showcase today.
CC Creme ($44) – This high-definition skin-perfecting cream features color-matching technology for a radiant, soft, and flawless finish. With skin-matching innovation, this cream blurs imperfections, providing a soft, luminous, and even complexion. Offering broad-spectrum SPF 25, it shields the skin from UVA/UVB rays while offering lightweight coverage for a refined, soft, and healthy appearance. It adapts to your skin tone upon application, providing a light peachy hue to even out discoloration. Ideal for a natural makeup look, it delivers a satin to matte finish, with the option to add a touch of powder for oilier skin types.
Glow Creme ($42) – A multi-benefit primer that illuminates and imparts a radiant glow to the skin. Upon application, Glow Creme reveals a pearly sheen and a luminous complexion that reflects light beautifully. Enriched with licorice extract, it brightens, hydrates, and smooths the skin, leaving it radiant with a subtle glow effect. This versatile product can also be used as a highlighter, enhancing your makeup with a luminous finish similar to MAC Strobe Creme but with a lighter texture.
Yuza Double Cream ($36) – Infused with yuzu, known for its antioxidant properties, this cream combines two phases that work harmoniously to reveal glowing skin. The liquid phase enhances skin’s radiance, while the oil phase provides nourishment, resulting in a luminous and revitalized complexion.
Eau Ginseng ($39) – This refreshing lotion, enriched with ginseng, known for its smoothing and hydrating properties, hydrates and smoothens the skin, leaving a beautiful complexion. Ginseng root has been a staple in Korean skincare for its nourishing benefits, providing instant refreshment and comfort to the skin.
Asian skincare often includes beauty lotions or essences as an essential step between toning and moisturizing. Yuza offers excellent hydration and balances oily areas effectively, while Ginseng visibly improves skin brightness, glow, and even tone from the first use, making it perfect for refreshing tired skin.
