There’s something magical about winter—the quiet snowfall, brisk air, and slower moments at home. But for skin, winter can feel less romantic. Cold air, indoor heating, and low humidity can lead to dryness, dullness, and a weakened barrier.
At Ohlolly, we’re embracing rituals that feel grounding, comforting, and deeply restorative during this season. Think nourishing textures, barrier-strengthening formulas, and winter-proof hydration. And yes, all the products in this photo were actually sitting in real snow—because winter calls for skincare that can stand up to the elements.
Below, discover a curated lineup of our K-beauty favorites designed to keep your skin calm, glowy, and resilient, even in the coldest months.
1. Start with Strength: Hydrating, pH-Balanced Toners
Ecolline Manuka Marula Balancing Toner
Cold weather can send your skin’s pH into chaos. This organic toner restores balance instantly with Manuka honey (UMF 20+), antioxidant-rich marula oil, and soothing chamomile. Think of it as a comforting first sip of hydration after cleansing—soft, calm, and deeply replenishing.
Beloved for a reason since its launch way back in 2016. This silky, concentrated essence-toner drenches the skin with 91.3% astragalus root extract for long-lasting hydration and barrier support. In winter, it delivers that cushiony, bouncy feeling your skin craves. Bonus: ideal for the 7-Skin Method.
2. Bring Back Bounce: Serums for Firmness & Radiance
InfoDPlus RE²MAPS Firming Serum
Winter skin often looks tired and deflated—this serum restores the “life” back to it. With Matrixyl, witch hazel leaf water, hyaluronic acid, and a stabilized retinol complex, it firms, smooths, and brightens while remaining gentle on sensitive skin. Lightweight, non-sticky, and perfect for nighttime repair.
Dr. Ceuracle Vegan Niacin & Rice Ampoule
For dullness or uneven tone (aka winter’s favorite uninvited guests), this brightening ampoule offers a fragrance-free, irritation-minimal solution. Niacinamide calms the skin while rice extract softens dark spots, and a retinol derivative encourages gentle renewal. Skin looks clearer, brighter, and more even. Great for sensitive skin!
3. Winter’s Glow Makers: Rich Creams That Repair & Protect
Pyunkang Yul Intensive Repair Cream
A winter essential. This buttery cream uses peptides, ceramides, turmeric root extract, and rich botanicals to deeply moisturize without heaviness. The satin finish is perfect for daily wear, and the formula supports a strong, resilient barrier—your best defense against cold-weather dryness.
If winter is when your skin looks its most stressed or dull, this is the night cream to count on. Formulated with an advanced 2% retinol complex, algae peptides, and ceramides, Nightinol renews and firms overnight while keeping sensitivity in check. The whipped texture melts in like a cloud—luxurious and effective, especially for mature or dry skin.
4. Don’t Forget the Eyes: Winter’s Most Delicate Area
Heimish Marine Care Algae + Peptide Eye Cream
Eyes show dehydration first. This rich, marine-powered formula nourishes with fermented seaweed extract, plant stem cells, peptides, and mineral-rich seawater. Puffiness softens, fine lines look smoother, and the delicate skin around the eyes feels deeply comforted. The cooling applicator means no more puffy eyes.
