What iUNIK Products Should I Buy for My Skin Type?
iUNIK’s website groups products according to desired benefits (hydrating, anti-aging, calming, nutrition and brightening) and skin types (troubled skin, dry skin, oily skin and combination skin). Some iUNIK products recommended for acne-prone skin include the Centella Calming Gel Cream, Tea Tree Relief Toner and Lime Moisture Mild Peeling Gel. In terms of serums, acne-fighting Tea Tree Relief Serum heals and soothes skin for clearer complexions, while anti-inflammatory Propolis Vitamin Synergy Serum brightens skin to fade acne scars, making it suitable for those with fungal acne.


If you have dry skin, you can consider the Beta-Glucan Power Moisture Serum, which is a non-sticky but powerful moisturizer for skin that gets dry and sensitive during seasonal changes, and the Noni Light Oil Serum, a lightweight serum perfect for skin that’s dry in the morning. In addition to serums, the Propolis Vitamin Sleeping Mask, Beta-Glucan Daily Moisture Cream and Vitamin Hyaluronic Acid Vitalizing Toner are also suitable for your skin care routine.


For those with oily skin, the Rose Galactomyces Synergy Serum and Rose Galactomyces Essential Toner reduce excess sebum and minimize large pores, calming oily T-zones. Furthermore, the refreshing and oil-free Centella Calming Gel Cream is designed specifically for those with oily skin and works well as a makeup primer.


Finally, for those with combination skin, the Centella Bubble Cleansing Foam is suitable for correcting oil-water balance and pH balance while offering moisture and pore care. The Calendula Complete Cleansing Oil also corrects oil-water balance while soothing and hydrating skin.
