Beauty of Joseon – Glamorous New PDRN and Peptide Skincare Line

Beauty of Joseon is one of the classiest and most refined Korean beauty brands on the international market. Inspired by traditional ingredients, they’ve developed a skincare range that balances gentle care with amazing results. From infusing ginseng (for fine line care), to red bean (for pore care) and refining retinal – they've created K-beauty classics that people will use time and again. So, it was an exciting revelation to see their brand new releases for 2026 – designed to achieve flawless, glassy skin. 

Peptides are a massive part of K-beauty in 2026, due to their ability to signal to skin cells from within and create visible changes in an instant. This innovative serum is infused with pore refining ingredients (such as PDRN extracted from red bean and soothing botanical extracts) and an exciting new peptide to the scene. ‘Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate’ is Botox in a bottle – also known as SYN®AKE, it mimics snake venom and physically smooths out your skin and inhibits facial muscle contraction. Where Botox can achieve an 80% reduction of fine lines and pores, this peptide can create a 52% reduction in fine lines in just 4 weeks of use.

This makes this serum a balance of gentle hydration and refinement, but with a real power to vanish fine lines and large pores. It is designed to revitalize oily skin types; but is a strong addition to any routine seeking balance and that smooth peptide look that will have you appearing straight from the clinic. 

Inspired by Beauty of Joseon’s beloved Revive Eye Serum, this soothing moisturizer provides a gentle, all-face care infused with nourishing ceramides and fermented retinol. Why is fermented retinol so exciting? It is designed to be a more tranquil retinol experience – rich in probiotics, hydrating agents and antioxidants to help improve skin healing and rejuvenate the skin barrier. This means (similar to their top-tier eye cream), this moisturizer is designed for sensitive skin, for a deep hydration and vanish of fine lines.

Similarly designed to be well-suited for oily skin types, this gentle moisturizer has a gel-cream texture for a lightweight, quick-absorbing moisturizer that gives skin an easy bounce and deep radiance. 

Although this one has been out for a while, it forms a part of Beauty of Joseon’s new direction and helps solidify the new revitalizing skincare line. Similarly inspired by the Revive Eye serum, these gummy eye patches are formed with a base of ginseng water, with a biodegradable seaweed base. It adheres perfectly to your under-eye to deliver deep, cooling hydration and infusing a variety of reviving peptides and botanical extracts. 

With exciting Acetyl-Hexapeptide-8 (which helps smooth out facial muscles and immediately reducing wrinkle depth), these eye patches are also infused with brightening fig extract, hydrating centella and a classic duo of retinol and bakuchiol for long-term care. These eye patches are an exciting, refined format for under-eye care – that helps deliver visible results for under-eye lines, crows feet etc.
