Take the skin test and I'll show you how suitable this product is for you.
Take the skin testThe iUnik Beta Glucan Edition Skincare Set forumlated for dry skin types. The iUNIK Beta Glucan Power Moisture Serum is an all-round serum enriched with betaglucan which helps to moisturize and strengthen the skin barrier while brightening and caring for wrinkles. While the iUNIK Beta Glucan Daily Moisture Cream is a highly moisturising cream that calms and brightens the skin while improving the function of its barrier.
Beta Glucan Edition Skincare Set is a lightweight skincare product from IUNIK. The formula is built mainly around hydration and soothing. The ingredient list runs to 40 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as light: water and humectants lead, with emollients kept lower in the order. Silicones in the formula tend to give a smooth, blurred finish and help it grip under makeup. Hydration is handled by Butylene Glycol, Beta-glucan and Sodium PCA, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Butylene Glycol, Beta-glucan, Sodium PCA and Ethylhexylglycerin.
Soothing: High. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Beta-glucan, Cetearyl Isononanoate, Allantoin and Centella Asiatica Extract.
On richness alone it suits Balanced, Combination (oily) and Oily skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
The formula contributes little or nothing on barrier support, antioxidant protection, oil control and cell renewal. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is fragrance-free, essential-oil-free, paraben-free, microplastic-free, sulfate-free and dye-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging. It does contain drying alcohol, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes after serums. Seal in your serums with it; in the morning, sunscreen still goes on top.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.
Drawn purely from the ingredient list
Scored on how rich or light the formula reads from its INCI order.
No ingredient in this formula carries a common-irritant flag, making it a reasonable option for reactive skin. A patch test is still recommended, as individual skin reactivity varies.
Based on the curated benefits documented for this product's ingredients.
Attracts and locks in moisture to keep skin plump and dewy
Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation for sensitive skin
Boosts collagen and cell turnover to reduce fine lines and wrinkles
