LANEIGE skincare
LANEIGE is a Korean skincare brand founded in 1994 and owned by Amorepacific Holdings.
LANEIGE is loved for its deeply nourishing moisturizers, overnight masks, refreshing toners, and revitalizing eye products that prominently feature glycerin and hyaluronic acid. Its products suit dry skin and dry sensitive skin best, owing to their ability to deliver profound moisture and barrier repair. For targeted concerns, the brand offers the Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Exfoliating Toner for acne-prone skin, the Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Gel Moisturizer for skin with dark spots, and the Bouncy & Firm Sleeping Mask for mature skin. Through these formulations, its key ingredients actively work as glycerin significantly increases skin hydration and restores barrier function, while hyaluronic acid lengthens the duration of wrinkle reduction.
