Dermatologist's advice for beauty enthusiasts at Olive Young 2026

Discover dermatologist-recommended advice for cosmetics buyers at Olive Young. Safe and effective skincare products.

Recently, in a YouTube video, renowned Korean dermatologist Seong Hyeon Cheol offered practical advice to Olive Young shoppers, listing skincare products worth trying at Olive Young and in the cosmetics market in general. The doctor also stated in the video that the following recommendations are entirely based on professional experience and genuine product evaluations, not sponsorships or advertising. Below is a list of the top 5 products you can confidently consider.

First up is La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 cream. This product absorbs quite quickly, creating a protective barrier on the skin. It's suitable for many skin types, especially sensitive, dry, damaged, or combination skin prone to acne.

The standout ingredients are approximately 5% panthenol combined with Madecassoside extracted from Centella Asiatica and Dexpanthenol – which is also the main ingredient in Bepanthen. Thanks to this, it has excellent skin-restoring properties. However, panthenol has a slightly sticky texture and may leave a white residue for a while after application. Therefore, it's best used after toner or ampoule for better results.

In Vietnam, women can easily purchase this product through La Roche-Posay's official distribution channels.

Next up is Aestura Atobarrier365 cream. Doctors rate this product as containing ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids – components that make up the skin's protective barrier. The formula is adjusted to closely resemble human skin, making the product gentle and easily adaptable.

According to doctors, this cream is just as effective as the MD creams commonly sold at dermatology clinics, but at a more accessible price. It's a suitable option for people with skin problems or simply looking for a reliable daily moisturizer.

In the cleansing step, the Aestura Atobarrier365 Bubble Cleanser foaming facial cleanser is also highly rated, priced at around 20,000 won. The product has a pH of approximately 5.5, close to the skin's natural pH, helping to cleanse while maintaining the skin's protective barrier.

A positive point is that it uses gentle surfactants, minimizing irritation. When wearing makeup, the product is suitable as a second cleansing step. If you don't wear much makeup, you can use it as a first cleansing step.

The next product on the list is IOPE Retinol Super Bounce Serum, priced at around 50,000 won for 30ml. The retinol in this product helps boost collagen production, supports skin regeneration, smooths the skin's surface, improves wrinkles, minimizes pores, and helps brighten the complexion.

IOPE is considered one of the pioneering brands to incorporate retinol into cosmetics in Korea. This product has a moderate concentration of retinol, making it suitable for beginners and less likely to cause irritation. However, it's important to note that it should only be used at night because retinol is sensitive to light. When using, apply after toner and can be combined with a moisturizer if your skin is prone to irritation.

Finally, there's ATOPALM Panthenol Cream, priced at around 30,000 won. This product contains up to 10% panthenol, providing powerful restorative effects. It's a suitable choice for weak, easily irritated skin that tends to be dry and lacks natural protective elements.

However, due to the high concentration of panthenol, some people may experience mild irritation. According to doctors, if the skin is severely damaged, Cicaplast should be prioritized. Once the skin has stabilized, Atobarrier can be used for maintenance. For skin that is "intermediate" – not too weak but not yet truly healthy – Atopalm would be a suitable choice for long-term use.
