Sundrug in Tokyo

Asian countries have innovative and advanced skincare. Without a doubt, I'd be especially excited to browse the aisles of the 2 countries below:

Japan🇯🇵 is known for concentrating on hydration, sun protection (our #1 anti-ager in a skincare routine), and using gentle, effective ingredients.

The Top 5 Brands Popular in Japan include:

1) Shiseido is arguably the most famous Japanese skincare beauty line globally. A luxury brand, it sells its makeup under the name Clé de Peau Beauté and its sun protection under the Anessa name. Superior quality, whatever it calls itself.

2) Sk-II is renowned for its signature ingredient, Pitera, a fermented yeast, extracted to improve skin texture, firmness, and a healthy glow.

3) Hada Labo specializes in intense hydration. The brand's famous skin laboratory mixes, not one, but multiple types of hyaluronic acids, which are sold at affordable prices.

4) DHC is an affordable label popular for combining traditional Japanese ingredients with modern science. The brand’s Deep Cleansing Oil is world-famous!

5) Blorè is known for some of the best high-protection, light-weight sunscreens ever sold, like its UV Aqua Rich Water Essence. It cannot be overstated: Sunscreen is everybody's #1 anti-aging tool!

Other key brands are Kose Sekkisel, Tatcha, Melano CC, Curèl, and Cure.

South Korea🇰🇷 is renowned for having the most advanced skincare products on earth. The South Koreans are 20–30 years ahead of the rest of the world due to their innovative research and development, rapid trend cycles, and focus on preventative care. K-Beauty zeros in on a gentle approach, hydration, barrier protection, and prevention through top-notch, natural ingredients such as snail mucin and ginseng, selling at low prices. Its skincare is world-famous for achieving a healthy, glass skin appearance.🎉💥🎆
