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.

✔ Gently dissolves buildup without stripping
✔ Infused with hydrating botanicals for a soft, supple finish
✔ Perfect for all skin types, even sensitive skin

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.

Now in it's 8th generation, Saranghae Firm & Lift Regeneration Cream is a luxurious, science-driven Korean moisturizer designed to restore firmness, smooth fine lines, and deeply nourish maturing skin. Powered by regenerative botanicals and advanced actives, it delivers visible lifting effects while strengthening the skin barrier for long-lasting hydration and resilience.

  • Supports collagen and elasticity to visibly improve skin firmness

  • Locks in moisture for plumper, more supple skin all day

Directions:

Suited for both AM & PM routines, the routine can be combined with any correctives or serums.

AM/PM 3-Step Recommended Routine

Step 1: Cleanse thoroughly with Nourishing & Moisturizing Oil To Foam Cleanser

Apply the cleanser directly to DRY skin; the oil-like texture will break down makeup and impurities, then transform into foam when water is added.

  • Dispense 1-2 pumps of cleanser into your dry fingertips.
  • Gently massage onto your dry face, using circular motions, for 10-15 seconds.
  • Add lukewarm water and continue to massage to transform the oil into a rich foam. Use your facial brush here to complete the cleansing.
  • Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, pat face dry with a clean towel.
  • Avoid any direct contact with the eyes.

Step 2: Apply Calm & Glow Snail Mucin Serum

Wait until step 1 is fully absorbed.  Skin should be damp but sopping wet.

Dispense one to two pumps of the serum onto the palm of your hands, then press them together to spread the serum. Gently rub and then press onto your face & neck using your palms to apply the serum.    Let the serum absorb for about 30 seconds before moving to step 3.

Step 3: Apply Firm & Lift Regeneration Cream

Begin with a pea-sized amount of moisturizer. Press your hands together to spread the product. Using firm pressure, press the product onto your entire face, working from the center outward.  Continue pressing any remaining moisturizer down your neck.

If rubbing the cream into your skin works better for you, that's fine too.

 You can also wait 2 to 3 minutes and apply one additional but slightly lighter coat of Firm & Lift prior to bed time to enhance the sealing function.

Key Ingredients - Calm & Glow Snail Mucin Serum 96

Snail Mucin

Snail mucin or snail secretion filtrate as labeled on all commercial snail serums is the secretion from a snail.  Snail mucin is naturally created by snails for protection, hydration and lubrication for locomotion and to cling onto surfaces.  The use of snail mucin dates back to Ancient Greece but it has been made popular by being the most iconic ingredient in K-beauty.

Research suggests that the essential chemicals present in snail mucin works wonders for our skin.  

  1. Plumping: The high levels of collagen and elastin present in snail mucin can help improve firmness and elasticity as the skin begins to age. The presence of glycolic acid in this mucin further accelerates the promotion of collagen for younger, firmer skin.  
  2. Moisturization: As the slimy appearance of snail mucin may have clued you in, it can work miracles for restoring dry, dehydrated skin. The presence of hyaluronic acid offers lasting hydration, making the skin supple and smooth.  
  3. Exfoliation: The glycolic acid in snail mucin works on smoothing out rough patches by gently exfoliating dead skin cells away from the surface.

Arginine

A vital amino acid that stimulates collagen production and protects the skin from free radical damage and premature skin aging.  It also helps repair visible skin damage.  It is currently one of the most popular and well-regarded skincare ingredients in K-beauty.

Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid)

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan (long unbranched polysaccharide) usually found in our connective tissues.  It is the main component of what gives our skin structure and that bounce, soft and hydrated look.

Research suggests it helps with soft tissue growth, prompts your body to make more collagen and elastin, keeps your skin moisturized, prevents tightness, boosts elasticity, and reduces scarring.

Key Ingredients - Firm & Lift Regeneration Cream

Reishi Mushroom:
Known as the “mushroom of immortality” in traditional skincare, reishi mushroom is packed with antioxidants, beta-glucans, and polysaccharides to boost hydration, reduce inflammation, and promote collagen production for firmer, smoother skin.

Sang Hwang Mushroom:
This rare mushroom offers powerful anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties, helping to protect the skin from environmental stressors while supporting the repair of damaged skin cells.

Chaga Mushroom:
Renowned for its high concentration of antioxidants, chaga mushroom helps to neutralize free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and preventing premature aging.

Safflower Seed Oil:

Safflower seed oil is a light, non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores) plant-based oil extracted from the seeds of the safflower plant (Carthamus tinctorius). It is high in linoleic acid (omega-6 fatty acid) which helps restore the skin’s barrier function, regulate sebum production and helps retain skin moisture.  It is packed with Vitamin E which combats free radicals which helps reduce the fine lines and wrinkles.

Astragalus Root Extract:

Astragalus Root Extract is a natural ingredient derived from the root of the Astragalus membranaceus plant, which has been widely used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. Known for its adaptogenic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, it offers numerous benefits for both overall skin health and anti-aging.

Centella Asiatica:

Centella Asiatica, also known as Gotu Kola, is a medicinal herb that has been used for centuries in traditional medicine, especially in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine. It’s gaining popularity in modern skincare because of its impressive healing, anti-inflammatory, and soothing properties. It contains key compounds asiaticosidemadecassoside, and asiatic acid which help accelerate wound healing, help redunce hyperpigmentation and reduce visible signs of aging.

palmitoyl pentapeptide-4:

Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 is a 5 amino acid pentapeptide attached to palmitic acid widely used in skincare products, especially anti-aging formulations. It's part of the "matrikine" family of peptides, which are known for their ability to signal skin cells to repair and rejuvenate themselves. It is a superstar in skincare due to its collagen-stimulating, wrinkle-reducing, and skin-repairing properties. It’s a great choice for anyone seeking gentle, effective anti-aging ingredients. 

acetyl hexapeptide-8:

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, commonly known by its trade name Argireline, is a peptide widely used in skincare for its anti-aging properties. It is a hexapeptide composed of six amino acids that work as a topical alternative to Botox by targeting the same mechanism of wrinkle formation.  It interferes with the release of neurotransmitters that trigger muscle contractions in the skin. By relaxing these muscles, it helps prevent the formation of expression lines, particularly around areas prone to dynamic wrinkles, like the forehead and around the eyes.  In addition, as it minimizes repeated facial movements, it reduces the depth and appearance of existing wrinkles and fine lines over time.

copper tripeptide-1:

Copper tripeptide-1 (or GHK-Cu) is a naturally occurring peptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. It is a small peptide made of three amino acids (glycine-histidine-lysine) bound to a copper ion. This combination gives it unique biological activity. It plays a role in skin repair, regeneration, and overall maintenance by signaling cells to perform key functions like collagen production and tissue repair.  Copper tripeptide-1 is a science-backed, multitasking ingredient that enhances skin repair, fights aging, and improves overall skin health, making it a valuable addition to any skincare routine!
