CISL Seoul Is the Korean Skin-Care Secret Behind My Glass Skin

K-beauty is here to stay. With endless amounts of products to choose from, the hardest part is choosing the right product or system to achieve that signature “glass skin.” As a beauty editor, I’ve tried many K-beauty products but none have ever given me glass skin quite like CISL SEOUL’s 3-Step System ($199). Powered by K-medical techniques, this high-performance skin-care line mimics the efficacy of professional in-office treatments at home—and it quite literally takes your skin-care routine to the next level.

Developed with the help of Korean dermatologists, CISL products pair retinol, PDRN, plant-based exosomes and peptides that are not only barrier-friendly but work well on post-procedure skin. The products also address common skin concerns like fine lines, wrinkles and collagen loss. The system is easy to use and I always marvel at how dewy my skin looks after application.

The Products in CISL SEOUL’s 3-Step System

1 / 3

CISL Dual Infushot Skinbooster Serum ($119)

This unique serum has a dual delivery system. It has two separate chambers; once you pump each of the serums out, you can easily mix them together. The first chamber contains a mix of HPR retinoid for cell renewal and smoother-looking skin and marine microspicules, inspired by microneedling protocols, to enhance delivery and absorption of actives. The second chamber contains PDRN to help condition the skin and plant-based exosomes that help boost collagen and regenerate the skin. The Skinbooster Serum helps to boost the overall look of radiance, minimize the appearance of pores and soften fine lines and wrinkles.

How I’ve Been Using the CISL Seoul 3-Step System

These three products have been easy to swap in and out on days when I not only need a break from my prescription retinol but when I need that extra dewy glow. I’ve also been using the brand’s PDRN and panthenol-based hydrogel masks ($49) and cooling PDRN and caffeine gel eye patches ($39) throughout the week to complement the results I’ve gotten from the skin-care system. Though the system can be used both morning and night, I only use it at night, because I love to wake up with smooth, luminous skin.

After washing and drying my face, I apply the Dual Infushot Skinbooster Serum; a few pumps from each chamber and a quick mix of the two serums together covers my entire face, neck and décolleté. The microspicules in the formula, though painless, sting slightly, giving an extra kick to the formula.

Next, it’s on to the Ultra Wrinkle Correcxion Serum and press it gently into the skin using my fingertips to allow for increased absorption. I then wait about 30 seconds to a minute to allow the serum to fully absorb.

Finally, I lock everything in with the Biobarrier Recovery Capsule Cream. With the small spatula, I scoop one to two capsules from the jar and warm it between my fingertips until it transforms into a silky cream. If I didn’t grab enough the first time to cover my face, neck and chest, sometimes I will add an extra capsule or two to make sure my skin is fully covered. The cream is weightless and it leaves my skin glowy but not greasy. Without fail, I wake up in the morning with hydrated, supple skin that does not require any makeup.
