VENN Skincare: The Korean Brand You Need to Know
When we think of Korean skincare routines, we usually think of high-performing, innovative products - and we also think of 10, 11, and even 12 skincare steps - something that can be baffling to the K Beauty novice. But one brand is taking all the benefits of Korean skincare and making it simple: introducing VENN skincare.
Perfect if you have a busy lifestyle or just want a convenient streamlined routine, VENN skincare will help you to achieve and maintain healthy-looking and healthy-feeling skin.
Who Is The Founder Of VENN Skincare?
VENN was founded by Brian Oh, a corporate attorney in New York City. Brian wanted an effective, efficient and safe skincare routine that didn’t involve multiple steps. He enlisted the help of his co-founder, the skincare industry’s foremost chemist in South Korea, to realise his vision, and VENN was born.
Why Is Korean Skincare So Good?
Over the past decade or so, Korean skincare – or K-Beauty – has been referenced by beauty editors and those in the know as the best of the best. And that’s thanks to the innovative and advanced technology and ingredients that go into their formulas. In fact, the South Korean skincare industry is said to be around 12-14 years ahead of the U.S. in terms of their pioneering cosmetic technology.
What Makes VENN Skincare Special?
VENN cuts out what they refer to as ‘unnecessary’ steps in your skincare routine, instead replacing them with products that deliver multiple benefits but with minimal effort. They also use carefully selected ingredients that have been clinically tested to demonstrate their efficacy. This includes VENN’s proprietary and patented ingredient, Ginsenoside Compound K - a key anti-ageing active component of Panax Ginseng. Studies have shown that this effective ingredient helps to promote collagen synthesis and fight the comprehensive signs of ageing, including dryness, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity and firmness. It also has as strong antioxidant powers thanks to the addition of Vitamin C.
As an additional bonus, all VENN Skincare products are cruelty-free and are formulated without parabens, synthetic fragrance, silicone, sulphates and colourants.
How To Choose Your VENN Skincare Products
In line with the brand’s ethos of creating streamlined and easy-to-use skincare, each of VENN’s products is suitable for all skin types. Here’s our guide to the simplified VENN skincare routine.
