In this episode of After Hours Skin Clinic, Dr Ellie Rashid is joined by Korean skincare expert Dr Christine Hall to unpack the most talked-about trends and ingredients in K-beauty beyond the marketing.

They cover it all: Korean face masks, snail mucin, bee venom, Korean sunscreens (why they’re so good), placenta extract, mealworms, and the science behind PDRN (yes, derived from salmon sperm). Plus, what exactly are spicules and how are sea sponges involved?

They also get into the truth behind “glass skin”, how to actually achieve long-term glow, as well as Christine’s personal holy grail Korean skincare products you don’t want to miss.
