Beauty of Joseon and FRE are distinct skincare lines created to support various complexions. The Korean skincare brand, founded in 2016 and owned by Goodai Global Inc. since 2019, is loved for its thoughtful serums, masks, moisturizers, sunscreens, and more that feature star ingredients like niacinamide, glycerin, and hyaluronic acid, while the second brand is widely loved for its targeted product types and nourishing formulas. Beauty of Joseon suits dry skin and sensitive skin best, offering gentle yet effective daily care through standout options including the Ground Rice and Honey Glow Mask for acne-prone skin, the Light On Serum: Centella + Vita C for skin with dark spots, and the Revive Eye Serum for mature skin, whereas FRE suits acne-prone skin best, owing to its gentle and effective compositions with standout products like the Argan Oil.
