Description
Your 30s are often when skin starts asking for a little more support. It may still feel fairly balanced, but dullness, uneven texture, dehydration, fine lines or loss of bounce can start to appear — usually at the exact moment you realise sleep no longer fixes everything. Rude, frankly.
The Korean Skincare Routine Set For Your 30s is designed to keep your routine simple but effective, combining gentle exfoliating toner, advanced retinoid care, collagen-supporting moisture and daily SPF protection.
This four-step routine helps refresh, smooth, hydrate and protect the skin, making it ideal for anyone in their 30s who wants to maintain a healthy-looking glow while getting ahead of visible signs of ageing.
What’s inside and why it matters
Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Toner
A lightweight toner that helps gently refresh the skin and improve the look of uneven texture. It contains green plum water and mild exfoliating acids to help leave skin feeling smoother and clearer without a harsh stripped feeling.
Purito SEOUL Retinol Retinal 2000 NAD+ Serum
An advanced evening serum with retinol, retinal and NAD+ to help improve the appearance of fine lines, dullness, uneven texture and loss of firmness. This is the routine’s targeted active step.
Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream
A bouncy gel-cream moisturiser that helps hydrate, smooth and plump the look of the skin. Ideal for supporting a fresh, firmer-looking complexion without feeling heavy.
Round Lab Birch Juice Moisturizing Sunscreen SPF 50+ PA++++
A lightweight daily sunscreen that helps protect skin from UV rays while adding comfortable hydration. Essential for helping prevent UV-related signs of ageing and for supporting a retinoid routine.
Why this routine works
This routine focuses on the key skincare needs that often become more noticeable in your 30s: texture, hydration, glow, early fine lines and daily protection.
The toner helps keep skin looking fresh and smooth, the retinoid serum supports visible skin renewal, the collagen jelly cream gives lightweight moisture and bounce, and the SPF protects the skin every morning.
It is a practical routine for building long-term skin confidence without needing a bathroom shelf that looks like a small Boots branch.

How to use
Morning
After cleansing, apply Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Toner and gently pat into the skin.
Follow with Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream to hydrate and moisturise.
Finish with Round Lab Birch Juice Moisturizing Sunscreen SPF 50+ PA++++ as the final step in your morning routine.
Evening
After cleansing, apply Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Toner.
On retinoid nights, apply a small amount of Purito SEOUL Retinol Retinal 2000 NAD+ Serum, then follow with Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream.
Start by using the retinoid serum 1–2 evenings per week, then gradually increase if your skin feels comfortable.
Avoid using the Green Plum Toner and retinoid serum together on the same evening if your skin is sensitive. You can use the toner in the morning and keep retinoid for night.
IMPORTANT: Using Retinoids
This routine includes a retinoid serum, so introduce it slowly, especially if you are new to retinol or retinal. Mild dryness or sensitivity can happen when starting, so keep your routine simple and moisturise well.
Do not use retinoids if pregnant or breastfeeding.
Daily SPF is essential when using retinoids, so the Round Lab sunscreen is a key part of the routine, not the “only if I remember” step.
