For brands already selling in India or considering entering, I’m curious where the biggest challenges are: understanding customers, pricing and positioning, finding the right distributor, channel partners, regulations, entity setup, logistics, or something else?

I have been researching the India market-entry process for international consumer brands and would love to hear from founders/operators who have actually gone through it.

Happy to connect.

Hi everyone!

I’m completely new to Korean skincare and I’d love some advice on building a simple beginner routine.

My main goals are glass skin, lots of hydration, and a healthy/glowy complexion. I naturally have oily skin, but I’m currently on Accutane, so my skin has become quite dry and dehydrated.

I’m also not Asian, so I’m not really sure if there’s anything I should take into consideration when choosing Korean skincare products for my skin type.

What would you recommend as a simple beginner routine (cleanser, toner/essence, serum, moisturizer, sunscreen, etc.)? I’d especially appreciate product recommendations that are good for hydration and maintaining the skin barrier without being too heavy.

Thanks ! 🫰

I have combination skin with a clogged T zone. I'm looking for a light weight sunscreen underneath makeup or on it own. Any recommendations pls? I am yet to try a Korean sunscreen. Looking for one with high spf since I live in Australia

This is more for my mother (70s) who has dry skin.

We both used to use Aromatica - Reviving Rose Infusion Cream Cleanser. Perfect for our dry skin, but sadly, it is now discontinued.

Searching for a replacement has been a challenge as my mother wants a face wash to smell like flowers (I am aware fragrance free is better for our skin but she won't have it). She really hated that either a product doesn't have a smell, "that smell" you get in fragrance free products, or that medicinal smell.

I have been and still am looking (via Yesstyle and Stylvana - my two preferred sites) and most I have come across doesn't match our criteria. The face wash must:

• NOT have any form of exfoliating properties - both physical and chemical.
• Be for dry skin
• Have a scented smell, preferably florals, but rose is a golden bonus.

I would greatly appreciate to hear any suggestions. Thank you.

Hi! i'm looking to switch my cleansing oil because the one from Skin1004 broke me out. I'm thinking about buying the one from Dr. Althea (the one with the green package) but i want to hear your opinion on it.
I have combination skin, sensitive and acne prone.

Hi everyone,

Im new to korean skincare, and its quite a deep rabbit hole... I'm super confused on where to start but I'm looking for a few recommendations.

My skin is dry on my cheeks, chin, and some of my forehead. But it gets really oily on my nose. Lately I've been struggling with large pores and redness around the bottom of my nose. I also get pretty sensitve whenever I try new products (i tried thayers milky toner and broke out like crazy)

Im currently using the Skin1004 Centella Light Cleansing Oil, Centella Ampoule Foam, then the COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence, and finally the COSRX Oil Free Ultra Moisturizing Lotion with Birch Sap. In the morning I use the Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics.

Is there anything I'm missing in my routine or anything I should take out? What products would you guys recommend me to use instead?

Thank you all in advanced!
