Melding over 40 years of expert pharmaceutical experience with cutting-edge dermatological science, Korean skin care brand AESTURA offers clinically tested products that promote healthy skin. Launched in 1982 and part of the Amorepacific group, the brand’s name draws on the word “estuary” to suggest abundance and provision. AESTURA specializes in simple yet highly efficacious formulas capable of restoring balance in sensitive skin. From nourishing creams to soothing serums, the AESTURA product range is a showcase for ingredients ranging from the tried-and-true to the buzzworthy, including ceramide for barrier protection and cica for calming care. Aestura is a reliable brand not just because of its high-quality ingredients but because its products are formulated from extensive research. With the mission of helping the skin to be at its best, Aestura has created a lot of well-sought products. Here are the top 3 products you should get: (1) Aestura Atobarrier 365 Cream, (2) Aestura Theracne 365 Essence, and (3) Aestura Regederm 365 Repair Wrinkle Cream. This is really one of the reasons why I love the innovation and textures of K-Beauty. It’s pretty amazing to be able to find products like this that meet needs that may seem totally contradictory!

Apply a pea-sized amount to the face morning and night after cleansing, toning and all actives. INGREDIENTS the brand also highlights trehalose, a very interesting humectant sugar to deeply moisturize the skin, The product I tried, the Aestura Atobarrier 365 Hydro Soothing Cream is a much lighter version of this cream. But beware, it’s still a product that can repair a damaged skin barrier, so don’t expect a completely watery texture and a product that absorbs in less than two seconds and leaves your skin feeling bare. And let me tell you, it is a great investment to make for your skin! I have been so impressed with how lovely this cream has been, how velvety soft and supple my skin always feels and looks when I use this. Since it is a bit richer, I usually apply the AESTURA Atobarrier 365 Cream as a nighttime moisturiser, and it always leaves my skin happy and relaxed the next day. The richness helps to nourish and protect my skin in rougher weather, and I can attest to its skin barrier respecting properties.The Atobarrier 365 line is formulated for people with a damaged or compromised skin barrier, focusing on repairing, nourishing and protecting the skin. AESTURA actually started as a clinical skincare company in the 1980s, and Amore Pacific bought the company so that they could use their patented “dermaON” technology for their products. Basically, this is a special type of encapsulation technology used for the Atobarrier 365 Cream, which creates tiny oil capsules within the formula. In general, it's a fantastic ingredient. It does a great job at hydrating the skin, and it's suitable for those with sensitive skin. Aestura’s own DermaON Technology: this patented three-ingredient encapsulation technology is so interesting because it provides super effective ingredients to repair the intercellular cement that forms the skin’s protective barrier. The capsule called “Triple Lipid-Capsule” is composed of ceramides, fatty acids and cholesterol, the perfect trio of ingredients if you want to repair damaged skin. The heat and humidity coupled with the air conditioning are usually devastating for my skin. But this product really helped me to stay comfortable all day long without my skin feeling “suffocated” by a too heavy texture. The A-Cica 365 line, as its name suggests, centers on hero ingredient centella asiatica, a hydrator with a soothing touch. From the skin-purifying A-Cica 365 Blemish Calming Serum to the moisturizing A-Cica 365 Soft Calming Mask Pad , products in this range help to relieve sensitive, stressed-out or troubled skin.

If you have dehydrated skin, you’ll love the lightweight Hydro Essence, which pampers and protects skin with a formula rich in natural moisturizing factors. It is thanks to this encapsulation of the richest ingredients that this cream can be so effective without being too rich. And that’s quite an achievement!Even with its gel-cream texture, the brand is aiming at the comfort of skin that suffers during the warm season, or skin types that prefer lighter textures but still have a strong need for hydration and even nutrition. Meet the AESTURA Atobarrier 365 Cream, Korea's number 1 skin barrier repair cream. This award-winning, sellout moisturiser delivers up to 100 hours of hydration, restoring and reinforcing the skin barrier from deep within. The results? Soft, plump and hydrated skin! This depends on the source. Squalane can be derived from both plants and animals. Most squalane used in skincare comes from plants. That’s the magic of this product! I think it can be suitable for dry skin as well as for combination skin, depending on the climate you are in and your preferences in terms of textures.
