There have been many skincare phenomena that have gone viral or “trendy” in recent years. One of them being “Korean Glass Skin.” many people assume it’s just using a lot of serum and moisturizer on your face and getting that glass look, but that’s a misconception. So let’s properly explore this phenomenon.
What is Korean Glass Skin?
Korean Glass skin refers to the ideal complexion associated with K-beauty standards : smooth, intensely hydrated, no dullness or breakouts, pore less looking and naturally radiant. These outcomes together are referred to as “Glass Skin”. This term highlights the translucent, dewy finish that reflects light, giving the skin a fresh and youthful glow.
The Glass Skin phenomena has become so popular in 2025 because K-beauty continues to lead global skincare trends due to its innovative formulations, emphasis on gentle ingredients and inclusive skincare regimens. Social media, K dramas, K- pop and celebrity influence further fuel the global fascination with Korean skincare philosophies. Consumers worldwide are drawn to its personalized, multi-step, approach that prioritizes long-term skin health over quick fixes. At ACELABS this is our motto as well.

It requires understanding your skin’s unique needs, adopting a tailored skincare routine and committing to daily hydration (inside and out), sun protection and gentle exfoliation.

Step-by-Step Korean Skincare Routine to Get Korean Skin
Wondering how to get glass-skin naturally? Achieving the smooth, glowing, plump and hydrated “glass skin” look is all about layering the right products in the right order, with consistency and care. At ACELABS we believe in K-beauty long-term skincare with easy steps, less products and not quick fixes that would only help your skin short-term. Here’s a simple K-beauty inspired routine to help you get started in achieving that glass skin look.
Step 1: Double Cleanse
Begin your routine by thoroughly cleansing your face to remove sunscreen, makeup and impurities.
Double cleansing is useful to remove most impurities, but using products that strip your skin is something you have to be cautious about. These product formulas are best for cleansing that retain moisture and natural oils without stripping the skin:
- Oil Based Cleanser: Dissolve oil based impurities like makeup and sebum
- Water-Based Cleanser: Removes sweat and water-based debris from skin
ACELABS recommends: ACELABS Low pH Diamond Essence Cleanser - formulated with real diamond powder, a gentle, hydrating essence-liked cleanser perfect for maintaining your skin’s moisture barrier.

Key Korean Beauty Secrets for Achieving Glass Skin
Korean beauty rituals are rooted in mindful skincare regimens that focus on hydration, nourishment and long-term skin health. Which are deeply rooted into our rituals at AceLabs. There are the core secrets behind the glow:
1. Layer Hydration (7 Skin Method)
Instead of applying a thick moisturizer all at once making your skin feel heavy and greasy, K-beauty rituals emphasize layering lightweight toners or essences (up to 7 times) to deeply hydrate and plump the skin from within. This helps build that supple, bouncy, dewy finish.
2. Use Fermented Ingredients Probiotics
Fermented Ingredients and Probiotics not only help you gut health, but your skin health too! They help balance the skin’s biome, brighten complexion and enhance absorption of essential nutrients. They rejuvenate the skin’s renewal and bring out a natural radiance.
3. Prioritize Skin Barrier Strength
A healthy skin barrier is essential for glass skin. K-Beauty emphasizes gentle, pH balanced products that soothe and strengthen the barrier - reducing irritation, dryness and dullness in the long-term.
4. Consistency Over Complexity!
At ACELABS we strongly believe and endorse the K-beauty belief that you don’t need 10 steps in your skincare regimen!! What matters more is being consistent with the right products for your skin type. Regulate care with well formulated, gentle products that lead to visible and long lasting results.
