Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use niacinamide and collagen together in the same routine?
Yes. These ingredients are highly compatible because they address different skin layers. Niacinamide works on the surface to clear pores and brighten tone, while collagen provides the building blocks for deeper skin firmness and hydration.
Which is better for achieving the Korean glass skin look?
Niacinamide is generally preferred for the initial glass skin effect because it minimizes visible pores and creates a smooth surface. However, adding a collagen mask is necessary to maintain the plumpness and bounce associated with healthy, radiant skin.
What is the difference between the jelly cream and the night wrapping mask?
The Collagen Jelly Cream with Niacinamide is a lighter formula designed for fast absorption and daily texture refinement. The Collagen Night Wrapping Mask is a thicker, peel-off or leave-on barrier that provides a more intensive dose of collagen for dramatic firming results.
