In this episode of the Love Saranghae podcast, Peter and Andrea answer two skincare questions. The first question is from Elsa, who has sensitive skin and cystic acne. They recommend a Korean skincare routine that includes gentle cleansing, exfoliation, and the use of snail mucin to calm inflammation. The second question is from Janine, who wants to try retinol for fine lines and wrinkles. Peter explains the different types of retinol and recommends starting with retinal, which is the most effective with the least irritation.
