Start Here — Your First Korean Skincare Routine

Read before first use. Start Here is designed to be introduced gradually. Using all four products at once from day one may overwhelm skin — and that's not how this system is meant to work.

-
How It Works

Start Here is not a product bundle. It is a structured introduction to Korean skincare.

-
The results come from:

✦ Four products chosen to work together — nothing competing, nothing missing
✦ A clear order so your skin knows what to expect
✦ A gentle two-week onboarding so your barrier adjusts without reacting
✦ System logic. Each step supports the next.

-
What You Receive in Every Start Here Set

✦ A fully curated AM + PM starter routine
✦ Your printed Start Here Cards — step-by-step guidance with onboarding rules, weekly plan, and exactly when to introduce each product
✦ A routine simple enough to stick to. Structured enough to actually work.

The cards are not an add-on. They are the system.

Your skin is introduced to the routine gradually, not all at once. The Start Here Cards guide you through every phase so your barrier stays comfortable and confidence builds with consistency.

For full protocols and onboarding guidance, refer to your printed Start Here Cards included in every set.

What's included in the set?
Four full-size Korean skincare products — no minis, no samples — plus your printed Start Here Cards. The cards walk you through exactly what to use, when, and how to introduce each step safely. Everything you need to begin Korean skincare correctly, from day one.

How long until I see results?
Softness and comfort show up within the first week. Skin that feels calmer, more settled, and less reactive usually shows up in weeks two to four. This isn't a transformation routine — it's a foundation routine. You're building the conditions that make everything else work. That's exactly what it's designed to do.

Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. This is one of the gentlest routines we carry. No exfoliants, no brightening acids, no fragrance in the moisturiser. Centella Asiatica — the hero ingredient in the Skin1004 Ampoule — is one of the most well-researched calming ingredients in Korean skincare. The two-week onboarding plan in your Start Here™ Cards introduces products gradually so your barrier adjusts without reacting.

How long will the set last?
With daily use, most customers can expect the set to last three to four months. The cleansing oil and ampoule will likely run out first. Every product is available individually on our store so you only reorder what you need.

Do I need to use all four products from day one?
No — and your Start Here™ Cards will tell you exactly this. Weeks one and two: cleansing oil, ampoule, and cream only. Weeks three and four: introduce the mask one to two nights a week. Your skin needs time to adjust. The onboarding plan exists for a reason.

How much would these cost individually?
£56.24 if purchased separately — and you'd still be figuring out the order, the timing, and how to introduce each step yourself. You're not just saving money. You're getting the plan that makes the products actually work.

What is the Biodance mask and when do I use it?
The Biodance Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask is a treatment mask used one to two nights a week in place of your moisturiser. Collagen and niacinamide work overnight to firm, brighten and deeply hydrate. You use it instead of your cream on those nights — not on top of it. Your Start Here Cards tell you exactly when to introduce it.

What if my skin reacts to one of the products?
Stop that product and let your skin settle for a few days. Every product in this set has been chosen for its gentle formulation but skin is personal. Contact us and we'll help you identify what's happening and find a suitable swap. We're not here to sell you something that doesn't work for you.

Can I buy individual products when one runs out?
Yes. Every product in the set is available individually on our store. When one runs out before the others, just reorder that one.

What comes after Start Here?
Once your skin feels consistently calm, hydrated, and comfortable — usually around week four — you're ready to build on that foundation. The Glass Skin Blueprint is the natural next step. It introduces gentle brightening and a more complete AM + PM system, built on the same barrier-first logic.

Are these products vegan and cruelty-free?
The Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Cleansing Oil, Skin1004 Centella Ampoule, and Haruharu Black Rice Cream are all vegan and cruelty-free. The Biodance Bio-Collagen mask contains collagen extract which is animal-derived — if this is a concern, contact us before ordering.

Are these products free from parabens and sulfates?
Yes. All four products are free from parabens, sulfates, and synthetic fragrance in the moisturiser. For the full INCI ingredient lists, refer to the individual product pages on our store.

Can I return or exchange?
Unopened and unused products can be returned within 30 days for a full refund. If you've started using the routine and something isn't agreeing with your skin, contact us. We want this to work for you.
