We brought Medipair in after clients kept asking for the lighter, layered textures they had been reading about. It is the Korean line on our shelf, and the difference from a clinical serum is less about the ingredient list than the format: thin, comfortable layers you build up, rather than one heavy cream asked to do everything.

Veil Cream Mist sits between a toner and a lotion and is the easiest place to start. Deep Moisture Cream and Plasma Cream are the two moisturizers, the first richer, the second lighter. Calming Booster is what we add for redness-prone skin, and Sun Clear Serum is an SPF 50 that behaves like a serum. Layer damp over damp, and give it three weeks before judging it.
