Six weeks ago, I began an exciting journey with Red Light Therapy using Cellect’s Beauty Beam Rejuvenating Red available at Soko Glam. As someone who’s always on the hunt for skincare solutions, my aim was to tackle specific skin concerns like hyperpigmentation, acne scars, dullness, and those fine lines that have started to make their presence known. I’ve tried and tested countless products with varying degrees of success. Curious, I ventured into the realm of red light therapy to explore its anti-aging benefits. This portable device, armed with cutting-edge Optic Window Lens Technology uses specific wavelengths of red light to penetrate deep into the skin layers. This stimulates the skin cells, boosting collagen production – a key factor in maintaining youthful skin. 

Now, with this new tool in hand, I’m curious and hopeful. Could this tool be the answer to achieving the even-toned, rejuvenated skin I’ve been striving for? Here’s a candid recount of my experience.

Week 1: The first week was about getting used to the device. I began by adapting to a new routine where I added in a daily 15 minute session using my Beauty Beam paired with a moisturizing serum. 

A crucial aspect of this journey was following the guidelines strictly, particularly regarding the use of active skincare ingredients. I diligently avoided using any active ingredients like retinol in my skincare routine while using the device, as advised. This precaution is essential to prevent any adverse reactions and to maximize the benefits of the therapy. The sessions were painless and surprisingly relaxing.

Week 2: By the second week, I noticed a subtle change. My skin started to feel slightly more supple. Although the fine lines were still visible, there was a certain smoothness to my skin that wasn’t there before. It was encouraging to see even these minor changes so early in the process.

Week 3: The third week was when I started to see noticeable differences. The area around my eyes began to look smoother. My skin tone appeared more even, and the dullness I had always struggled with was visibly reducing. Each session with the Beauty Beam felt like a step towards rejuvenated skin.

Week 4: By the fourth week, Friends and family started noticing a certain ‘glow’ about my skin. The device had now become an indispensable part of my skincare regimen. The ease of use and the painless experience made each session something I looked forward to.

Week 5: One of the most stubborn skin issues I have faced is hyperpigmentation. I was eager to see how the Beauty Beam would address this. By the fifth week, the dark spots had started to fade. It wasn’t a dramatic change, but it was progress. The device’s promise to target hyperpigmentation was proving to be true.

Week 6: The fine lines around my eyes and mouth had diminished significantly, giving my face a fresher, more youthful appearance. The overall texture of my skin had improved, feeling firmer and more elastic. The most impressive change was in my skin’s tone and clarity. The dullness had almost completely vanished, replaced by a radiant complexion. My hyperpigmentation spots had lightened considerably, contributing to a more even skin tone.

Cellect Beauty Beam Rejuvenating Red $184

As I conclude my six-week journey, the results speak for themselves. The Cellect Beauty Beam Rejuvenating Red has not only lived up to its promises but has also become a non-negotiable part of my skincare routine. It stands out for its ease of use, effectiveness, and the convenience of being a home-based treatment.

For anyone looking to combat the signs of aging and achieve healthier, more radiant skin, I would highly recommend trying out this red light therapy device. It’s a commitment of time and consistency, but the results are worth it. The journey with the Beauty Beam has been nothing short of transformative for my skin, and I look forward to continuing to reap its benefits.

In the realm of skincare, an ancient secret has resurfaced to revolutionize our beauty rituals: the power of fermented ingredients. 

For thousands of years, cultures across the globe have harnessed the power of fermentation, and now, I find myself delving into the captivating world of fermented skincare. In my exploration of fermented skincare, I had the privilege of uncovering the secrets behind haruharu wonder’s Fermented Black Rice Line.

The journey starts with handpicked, 100% Korean-grown, organic black rice, carefully selected for its exceptional efficiency and skin-loving properties. Through a meticulous fermentation process conducted at low temperatures, the rice undergoes a transformation, where its essence becomes concentrated with extraordinary benefits. The fermented black rice is then carefully dried, preserving its potency, before undergoing an extraction process using high pressure and temperatures. The result? A potent elixir known as the fermented black rice extract, ready to work wonders on the skin.

Speaking with the visionary founder, Jae Won Jeong, her passion for fermentation becomes palpable. “Like Superfood! Fermented ingredients like Black Rice and bamboo shoot bark extracts support the skin’s moisture barrier for your dewiest skin yet,” she enthused. It’s true, the power of fermentation magnifies the antioxidant properties of these ingredients tenfold. Black rice, renowned for its antioxidant content, becomes even more potent after fermentation, with an astounding 30 times more antioxidant power than its non-fermented counterpart.

Now that we’ve explored the fascinating world of fermentation and its remarkable benefits for the skin, it’s time to take a deep dive into haruharu wonder’s Fermented Black Rice Line.

Step 1:

Black Rice Moisture Deep Cleansing Oil $22

Effortlessly removes impurities, maintains moisture levels, and nourishes the skin with its gentle, unscented formula enriched with 100% natural oils and essential ingredients.

Step 2:

Black Rice Moisture 5.5 Soft Cleansing Gel $16

This unscented, moisturizing gel cleanser boasts an optimal pH level, purifying your skin while maintaining its barrier and achieving a harmonious balance.

Step 3:

Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner $22

A game-changer, with its potent blend of fermented rice extract, red ginseng extracts, and hyaluronic acid, empowering the skin to help regenerate and renew for a revitalized complexion.

Step 4:

Black Rice Bakuchiol Eye Cream $17

Jae Won Jeong adds “Proven in a dermatological trial to improve dark circles, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and also reduce eye area hyperpigmentation.” All thanks to its potent combination of Bakuchiol and Fermented Black Rice Extract. 

Step 5:

Black Rice Hyaluronic Cream Unscented $19

This lightweight cream enriched with fermented black rice, bamboo shoot barks, and skin-friendly oils delivers lasting hydration and enhances skin tone, texture, and firmness while indulging skin with a heavenly surge of antioxidants.

As I explored the world of skincare alchemy, I was astounded by the transformative power of haruharu wonder’s patented fermented black rice ingredient. Witnessing the magic unfold as microorganisms worked their wonders, I couldn’t help but be captivated by the remarkable benefits of their Black Rice line. I wholeheartedly invite you to embrace the captivating potential of haruharu wonder’s fermented black rice, now available at Soko Glam, and embark on a skincare adventure that will genuinely transform your complexion.

Allow us to introduce The Klog’s Sweet Potato BHA Clay Mask, a velvety-textured rinse-off mask featuring its star ingredient, the Korean Sweet Potato, the perfect new addition to your next Girls Night In! 

This multitasking, vegan formula offers gentle exfoliation and deep hydration helping you achieve soft, supple skin while effectively unclogging pores, leaving your skin more radiant. Mainly enjoyed roasted or steamed, the Korean sweet potato is known for its purple flesh and subtly sweet flavor. It is packed with antioxidants, heart-healthy minerals, and immune-boosting vitamins.

The spotlight here belongs to the sweet potato’s antioxidants, including beta-carotene and carotenoids, which work harmoniously with vitamin E to provide a variety of skin solutions. This duo not only slows down the aging process but also slows down harmful cell oxidation. Anthocyanins aid in preventing cell damage and stimulating cell production. The result? Enhanced skin elasticity  resulting in that youthful glow. The vitamin C it contains is a true multitasker. It not only brightens by regulating the production of melanin but also promotes collagen production. This dual-action process keeps your skin looking luminous while providing a protective shield against external aggressors.

Having introduced our star ingredient, let’s explore the other powerhouse components that make up this mask.

Sweet Potato BHA Clay Mask $19

Niacinamide: Shrinks the appearance of large pores, evens out skin tone, and smooths away fine lines, all while reinforcing the skin’s protective barrier.

Aloe Extract: Provides soothing relief and deep hydration, making it a safe choice for sensitive skin.

Pineapple Extract: Boasting a proteolytic enzyme, pineapple extract partners with the sweet potato to normalize your skin turnover cycle. 

Salicylic Acid:  Removes impurities like blackheads and whiteheads, all while harnessing anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Great for those dealing with acne.

How To Use: Apply a thick, even layer to clean, dry skin avoiding the eye and lip areas. Leave on for 10-15 minutes and rinse clean with lukewarm water. For best results, use twice a week.

Whether you’re pampering yourself, your friends or prepping for a festive Friendsgiving, this mask adds a touch of skincare luxury to the mix.

As a passionate K-Beauty enthusiast in the ever-evolving landscape of skincare, I find myself drawn to the incredible stories behind the products we use and cherish. I was reminded of the creativity and innovation that goes into every skincare routine as I got a peek into the world of IOPE’s Lab. Their breadth of expertise in research including artificial intelligence, sustainable technologies, biotechnology, human-centered design, and data science and analytics enables them to identify the most effective treatments for a variety of skin conditions.

You’re probably asking “What makes IOPE’s retinol based skincare so unique?”  

Retinol stabilization by IOPE began its journey in 1994, when the skincare industry was just starting to explore the potential of this powerful and potent ingredient. Over the years, this journey has culminated in the development of multi-award-winning retinols, celebrated for their ability to deliver remarkable results in as little as 2 weeks. 

What’s the difference between Retinol Retinol Super Bounce Serum and Retinol Expert 0.1%?

To understand the difference, let’s first dive deeper into the difference between retinoids and retinol. Both are forms of Vitamin A which help with skin cell turnover and provide anti-aging results. However, the turnover of retinol is more slow therefore it might take longer to see results and are less strong than retinoids.

Retinol Super Bounce Serum is best if you are just starting on your retinol journey or have sensitive skin. It contains both pure retinol that is quickly activated after applying the serum, and encapsulated retinol which slowly releases into the skin. It has a low irritant potential, but maintains all of its efficacy.

Retinol Expert 0.1% is best if you are ready for a more advanced retinol regimen as it has a higher concentration of pure retinol. However, IOPE has included hyaluronic acid in the formula to keep skin deeply moisturized while reducing wrinkles.

Let’s take a closer look at the ‘Retinol Expert 0.1%’ and the ‘Retinol Super Bounce Serum.’

Retinol Expert 0.1% $80

Over 27 years ago, this trusted 10th generation retinol was developed. Pure retinol 0.1% is used in this effective anti-aging serum to enhance the look of aged skin. It further ensures top-tier results with an innovative three-stage oxygen barrier system within the product packaging that prevents oxidation of retinol by light and air. Clinical studies found that just two weeks of usage resulted in the following significant anti-aging advantages:

• 15.4% reduction in under-eye wrinkles 
• 6.3% increase in firmness below the eyes
• 26.8% increase in under-eye density density 
• 26.1% reduction in nasolabial folds (smile lines)
• 7.5% increase in nasolabial firmness
• 25.2% increase in nasolabial density

Retinol Super Bounce Serum $50

This Korean-style retinol is perfect for sensitive skin – no adjustment period is needed. It uses Radio Frequency technology for a bouncier complexion. What’s particularly unique about this serum is its blend of pure retinol, encapsulated retinol, Granactive Retinoid , and Bio-Seletinoid that work to improve skin firmness. It is infused with cypress leaf for a gentle, moisturizing feel. Clinical studies have proven these significant anti-aging advantages within just 4 weeks of use: 

• 10.6% increase in cheek firmness 
• 10.3% decrease in wrinkles around the lips
• 12.5% increase in firmness on skin surrounding pores

IOPE’s  dedication to research and innovation has led to the creation of exceptional retinol-based skincare products that cater to a wide range of skin needs. The ‘Retinol Expert 0.1%’ and the ‘Retinol Super Bounce Serum’ are shining examples of their commitment to delivering real results. For those seeking transformative skincare experiences, these products are available at Soko Glam, offering a chance to embrace the power of IOPE’s retinol expertise and embark on a journey to healthier, more radiant skin.

Sofie Pavitt teaches us about her “Simple Solutions for Problematic Skin” and the distinct ingredients that set Sofie Pavitt Face apart.

I had the amazing opportunity to sit down and chat with THE Sofie Pavitt! Sofie shares her evolution from the world of fashion to skincare, and her profound motivation to address problematic skin types. Through this candid conversation, I gained a glimpse into Sofie’s remarkable journey as a female founder, facing challenges with resilience and carving her path in a predominantly male industry.

RK: Tell us who you are, and what got you into skincare and being an aesthetician.

SP: I’m Sofie Pavitt, the founder of Sofie Pavitt Face and a licensed esthetician based in NYC. I worked in fashion for 15 years and started giving my friends facials alongside my fashion job for two years before going into skincare full time around 7 years ago. I specialize in problematic skin types such as acne, rosacea, perioral dermatitis etc. I love seeing the change in confidence within my clients when improving their skin.

During her years in the fashion industry, Sofie’s work often led her to Seoul, where she first encountered the captivating realm of K-Beauty. Surrounded by the innovative skincare landscape, she was particularly intrigued by advancements like sheet masks – a concept that was novel at the time. In a period when K-Beauty was relatively unknown to most, Sofie found herself immersed in these innovations, embracing the indulgence that would later influence her skincare journey.

RK: Can you tell us about your new skincare launch? What inspired you to create this product line?

SP: Our tagline is ‘SIMPLE SOLUTIONS FOR PROBLEMATIC SKIN’. I found that my clients didn’t know where to start when clearing their acne with so many products out there and conflicting information on what works. I wanted to also bring products to the market for clients who wanted a beautifully ‘designed, curated line but with problematic skin in mind.

RK: In a world where a new skincare product seems to launch every day, what sets your skincare products apart from others in the market? Could you highlight some unique features or ingredients?

SP: We launched with our Mandelic Clearing Serum. Mandelic acid is a hero ingredient we use constantly in my studio- we love combining it with other actives to clear acne, to help retinols work better, to brighten dark spots and illuminate the skin. This is a serum that is so gentle but giving you this low and slow exfoliation that is just so perfect combined with other actives.

The Clean Clean Cleanser preps the skin beautifully to receive your actives in your routine: its ideal after wearing sunscreen, and is a gel cleanser that acts like a cream cleanser in the sense that it cleans so well without drying the skin.

RK: As a female founder, what challenges have you faced in the beauty industry, and how have you overcome them?

SP: I feel really lucky that I have 15 years of manufacturing experience so when I started developing it wasn’t completely alien to me. I think it surprises a lot of (mostly male) factory owners that I know what I’m talking about. I’m also a mom to two young kids, so that has been challenging balancing work and taking care of their needs as well as managing my home with my husband.

RK: What advice would you give to other aspiring female entrepreneurs looking to break into the skincare or beauty sector?

SP: My biggest advice is to work with intention and integrity. What makes your product special? Is there a need for it? What’s your special sauce? I feel so passionate about problematic skin and only bring products to market that I feel are missing from the products I want to offer my own clients in my studio.

RK: What message or feeling do you hope customers take away from using your skincare products? 

SP: I want customers to feel empowered in dealing with breakouts and to give them the confidence to take control of their own skin. 

RK: Put us in your shoes. What does an average day in your life look like?

SP: I usually wake up at 6 AM drink some coffee and look at social media. I know this is bad- but I love it. I get my 2 year old up and get him ready for school and then my four-year-old wakes up too. I always get their clothes and bags for school ready the night before to make the mornings less painful for us. My husband and I tag team the school run, then I either head to my studio in Chinatown to see clients, center aesthetic dermatology or work in the office on the skincare line with my other team.
Every day is different. Right now I’m working a lot on bringing our products to other estheticians and dermatologists in NYC so a lot of in-person meetings. I drink way too much coffee- I’ll have another one after lunch and we eat a lot of amazing Chinese food at the studio too. I pick up my little guy early eve and we all eat dinner together as a family- I wait until they’re in bed and then I get ready for bed and then start my emails. I always get ready for bed and do my skincare routine/brush my teeth etc. before working otherwise I’m so tired afterward I won’t do it! I head to bed around 11 and start it all over again the next day.

RK: What are some of your favorite beauty products at the moment?

SP: Cell Fusion C Laser Sunscreen I’m obsessed with! Leaders Amino Moisture Mask for hydration after the sun. Sofie Pavitt Face Mandelic Clearing Serum for gentle low and slow daily exfoliation and Soonjung 2x Barrier Intensive Cream for serious comfort for irritated summer skin.

RK: What’s next for Sofie Pavitt?

SP: We have a really cool (literally) product launching in September which I’m so excited to share with the world.

Want more details on Sofie Pavitt Face? Here are their two newest products available now on Soko Glam:

1. Clean Clean Cleanser $34

Calling all skincare lovers who adore our Original Soft Shield Pimple Patch – your next obsession has arrived! 

Let’s face it, battling stubborn post-pimple pigmentation marks can be frustrating. But worry not, because we’ve got your back (and your face) covered! Meet The Klog Soft Shield Pigment Patch, the ultimate sidekick for tackling post-pimple pigmentation and dark spots. A near-invisible hydrocolloid patch infused with Tranexamic Acid & Allium Cepa extract that serves as a protective covering and targeted treatment for post-pimple pigmentation and dark spots. Made from the same 100% vegan hydrocolloid as our original patches with a beveled edge to keep patches secured while they move with your skin, and adhesive enough to stay put on oily skin & overnight.

Now that you’ve met our newest patch, let’s plunge into the remarkable benefits and ingredients that truly sets it apart.

100% Vegan Hydrocolloid allows for a barely visible patch while effectively absorbing impurities and secretions beneath the skin’s surface. 

Tranexamic Acid is renowned for its gentle yet effective ability to fade pigmentation.

Allium Cepa Extract is recognized for its proven capability to visibly reduce the appearance of scars.

We didn’t just stop at the lab coats – we sent our patches out into the real world and let them mingle with everyday people. The verdict? Visibly reduced pigmentation and scarring in just 4 weeks!

How To Use: Apply patches towards the tail end of an active breakout and for up to four weeks, effectively targeting post-pimple pigmentation in its tracks. Remove the patches after 8-12 hours.

The Soft Shield Pimple Patch vs. Soft Shield Pigment Patch: A Comparison

Both share a beveled edge and strong adherence to fit facial contours. These patches discreetly absorb impurities while preventing picking, thus aiding the skin’s natural healing process. The Soft Shield Pimple Patch, tailored for active breakouts, accelerates recovery, while the Soft Shield Pigment Patch, formulated with tranexamic acid and Allium cepa extract, targets post-pimple pigmentation and scars. The Pigment Patch’s tranexamic acid fades pigmentation, and Allium cepa extract minimizes scar appearance. Choose the Pimple Patch during breakouts and the Pigment Patch for post-pimple care.
