Korean beauty and skincare trends, such as glass skin, have taken over the world. But to Dr Heng Wee Soon, an aesthetics doctor who specialises in pigmentary issues and is the founder of The Ogee Clinic, Korean skincare may not always be the best option for Singaporean...

"I told her to go back to basics. Cut to toner, our proprietary pore clarifying serum, sunscreen, and moisturiser at night, while treating her in my clinic for acne breakouts. Fast forward two months and her skin has improved a lot."Due to higher humidity and temperatures in the tropics, we tend to use products that are light - gel-based or serum-based.

Antioxidants, vitamin C, resveratrol and some peptides are multi-functional active ingredients that help regulate pigmentation formation and stimulate collagen production. Korean skincare ingredients such as bee venom and propolis are interesting, and although we do not know the exact components, anecdotally I know some people who swear by them.

Genetically, Koreans have a higher tendency to have this acquired pigmentary disorder known as Hori's nevus, which can occur at the same facial regions that melasma tends to occur. They should cut down on acid peels and fruit acids. Sunscreen usage should be increased whenever they have acne breakouts to reduce PIH marks.
