We are fond of almost anything Korean here in the Philippines—from pop culture, food, fashion, to skincare and beauty. Which is why Korean aesthetic clinics, like KNatural Beauty and Skin Studio, are also beginning to become more popular in the country. Who doesn’t want the lit-from-within kind of skin that our favorite K-drama actors have? The kind that’s fresh, plump, and radiant that it leaves you looking almost a decade younger? Sign us up!

K-beauty hubs like KNatural, located along Doña Julia Vargas Avenue, Pasig City, is great news most especially for people like me who are into authentic an K-beauty experience but have no time to fly to the land of the morning calm anytime they wish. What’s also interesting is the fact that even if it’s Korean, the treatments are tailor-fit and the products were thoughtfully curated to suit Filipino skin and weather.

Albert Lee, KNatural PH chief operating officer, also made sure that the products and services are of high quality but easily affordable. “I want everyone in the Philippines to have really good skin,” explained Lee. “I wanted to provide something that’s really good for everyone. Something affordable and something that’s really up to the Korean standard of the service.”

The KNatural PH team allowed me to experience this kind of Korean standard of service they were talking about through their KNatural Porcelain Glow Facial (PhP8,000 per 60-minute session). According to Ms. Weng, my beauty therapist and advisor for the day, this treatment is perfect for people like me who have enlarged pores, oily skin, and have visible signs of aging on the skin. This comes as no surprise as my initial skin diagnosis revealed that my skin’s age is 43 when I am just 37!

This treatment included double cleansing and a relaxing facial massage using MGDD skincare products and the use of HYOSONIC three-way device that’s composed of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), SONO, and radio frequency (RF) handpieces. And, you guessed it, these steps combined gave me refreshed skin in just an hour! Surprisingly, the process and the effect are comparable to ones I experienced when I tried a skincare treatment in Gangnam last year.

To maintain my skin and further reinforce the treatment, I was advised to use sunscreen and pair it with other MGDD products such as the Rosy Moisturizing Cream, Rosy Toner, and Absorbable Premium Toner Pad. All of which are readily available for purchase at the ground floor, along with other skincare brands and makeup products. According to the brand’s marketing manager, Jun Park, they have made sure to include tips and instructions on how to effectively use their products and how to best take care of your skin at home, on their website and social media pages. Talk about the Korean standard of service! It has been more than week as of this writing and my skin has never looked this hydrated, dewy, but not too oily.
