Step 1: Double cleanse with Saranghae Nourishing & Moisturizing Oil To Foam Cleanser with Truffle Extract (100 ml | 3.38 oz.)
Proper cleansing is the foundation of Korean skincare. The basics of Korean cleansing is to apply an oil based cleanser first, followed by a water-based cleanser.
The basic foundation of Korean cleansing is to apply an oil-based cleanser first, followed by a water-based cleanser. Because the make-up and oil produced by our skin, called sebum, needs an oil-based cleanser to bind with it (water and oil do not mix). Then we need a rinsing agent to cleanse away all that makeup, sebum, and impurities that reach the surface.
The Saranghae Nourishing & Moisturizing Oil to Foam Cleanser is an oil-to-foam cleanser that does the action of both. It melts away makeup, sunscreen, and impurities with a luxurious oil-to-foam transformation.

Step 2: Saranghae Calm & Glow Snail Mucin Serum 96
For over 25 years, snail mucin has been the most popular skincare ingredient in Korea. Yes, it is the mucus that snails secrete. Snails produce two types of mucin for different purposes.
The mucin from a snail's "foot" helps the snail lubricate it's path and stick to surfaces. The mucus from the snail's back is hydrating and anti-microbial. When a snail is injured, they will cocoon themselves in this mucin to heal and prevent infection. The secret to our Saranghae Calm & Glow Snail Mucin Serum 96 is how we combine these two types of snail mucus for maximum skin healing and anti-aging.
Snail mucin contains antioxidants that helps reduce signs of aging like wrinkles, uneven skin tone and sagging. Studies indicate that snail mucin helps skin regeneration and protects against damaging free radicals.
In one study, 25 people with moderate sun damage used snail mucin 96 for 14 weeks. The people that used the snail mucin serum saw significantly improved fine lines, crow’s feet and luminance when compared with people in a group that used a placebo product without snail secretions. Study participants didn’t report any reactions at all.
In another study, snail mucin decreased the spread and growth of melanoma cells in a lab. In yet another study, snail mucin killed the bacteria that cause acne vulgaris, leading to the promise that snail mucin could be used to help prevent acne.
Are snails harmed in the harvesting process? Absolutely not.
For Saranghae, the snails are fed foods that help stimulate mucus production. They are then left to glide over a net and the mucus that drops under the net is collected. The snails are kept in a safe place while they recover and then are released back to their homes.
✔ Supports skin barrier recovery
✔ Deeply hydrates for a plump, dewy glow
✔ Reduces redness and uneven texture
Step 3: Moisture, Firm, Lift & Seal with Saranghae Firm & Lift Regeneration Cream with Adaptogenic Mushrooms (60 ml | 2.02 oz)
The cream that started it all.
In 1974, a young cosmetic formulator from Seoul, South Korea, was presented with horrific news that one of her sisters suffered severe burns to her body and face due to a house fire. When months of treatment did not help her sister's burn scars, she decided to create a healing cream of her own.
Her name is Ro Myeong Jo, the mother of co-founders Pete & Andrea, and this is the birth story of Saranghae's iconic Firm & Lift Regeneration Cream with adaptogenic mushrooms.
