Everything ships from our Swiss warehouse, with 24-hour shipping and free shipping on orders over CHF 50.
What is K-Beauty?
K-Beauty (Korean Beauty) is a skincare culture from South Korea that has set global standards over the past 10–15 years: multi-step routines, advanced active ingredient formulations, sensorially pleasing textures, and the core concept of “glass skin”—skin that looks so well-cared-for that it barely needs makeup. The routine can range from 3 to 10 steps—what’s right for you depends on your skin’s needs, not on a rule.

K-Beauty FAQ
Do I really need 10 steps?
No. K-Beauty is a philosophy, not a mandatory routine. 3–4 good steps (cleansing, hydration, moisturizing, sun protection) are enough for most people. More steps make sense for specific skin needs or as part of a routine experience.
What is a sleeping mask?
An overnight treatment applied as the final step that works without rinsing. HIDEHERE Collagen Sleeping Mask or SKIN REPUBLIC Bio-Collagen Overnight Hydrogel are the classics.
What is Cica?
Cica is Centella Asiatica—a plant used in traditional Asian skincare. It supports sensitive, stressed skin. The HIDEHERE Cica Care line is the K-Beauty answer to this.
Is K-Beauty suitable for sensitive skin?
Very suitable—many K-Beauty products focus on gentle, soothing active ingredients. HIDEHERE Cica Care Toner Emulsion or Cream are a good place to start.
What sets K-Beauty apart from Western skincare?
K-Beauty often places greater emphasis on hydration, sensory textures, and nourishment than on pure ingredient concentration. Western brands (such as MAD HIPPIE or SKINCYCLOPEDIA) often feature higher concentrations. Both approaches have their strengths—many people combine them.
