iUNIK

iUNIK was founded by Michelle Kim, who began her cosmetics business in Korea in 2012 and launched the iUNIK brand in 2017. The name hints at being 'unique', and the brand was built around her belief that good skincare doesn't need to be complicated.

Its philosophy is minimalism. iUNIK keeps ingredient lists short and puts a high proportion of a single star ingredient at the heart of each product, so shoppers can see what they're using and layer products with confidence. Many formulas are fragrance-free and designed with sensitive skin in mind.

The signature Centella Calming Gel Cream combines centella asiatica and tea tree in a light, fragrance-free gel that helps calm and hydrate oily, sensitive or combination skin. The beta-glucan range focuses on hydration, while the Calendula Complete Cleansing Oil gently removes makeup and sunscreen as the first step of a double cleanse.

For shoppers, iUNIK makes it easy to build a calm, simple routine. Cleanse with the calendula oil at night, apply the beta-glucan serum on damp skin, and finish with the centella gel cream if your skin is oily or the beta-glucan cream if it feels dry. The miniatures and sets are a handy way to try the range.
