In the ever-evolving world of Korean beauty, APRILSKIN has carved out a notable niche — blending gentle, plant-powered formulations with thoughtful science. Since its launch in 2014, this brand has become known for its “renewal” philosophy: just as April ushers in spring, AprilSkin aims to revitalize and refresh the skin.
With its skin-friendly soothing botanicals, it’s perfect for reactive skin, whether you’re 15 or 50. Ingredients like calendula, carrot (beta-carotene), and Jeju-sourced botanicals are key.
Here’s a look at some of AprilSkin’s hero products :
AprilSkin Carrotene IPMP Hydromelt Clearing Solution.
A melt-on-contact cleansing balm that removes makeup, sunscreen, and impurities. Powered by carrot-derived beta-carotene and IPMP, it helps target clogged pores and acne-causing bacteria while staying gentle. ($19.)
APRILSKIN Niacinamide 99 Pink Bubble Gum Deep Cleanser
This playful, chewy “bubble-gum” cleanser uses 99% tranexamic acid (TXA) plus niacinamide to deeply cleanse pores, reduce blackheads, and tone skin — all with a surprisingly soft, stretchy texture. ($22)
APRILSKIN Pink Aloe Overnight Gel Mask
This overnight gel mask transitions from opaque to transparent, signaling optimal absorption. Only the TXA inside the capsules is absorbed, while the capsules remain intact. Kinda cool! ($22)
APRILSKIN Carrotene Instant Calming Serum Pads
Containing 220ml of concentrated serum in one bottle, the Carrotene Serum Pads are infused with carrot water, carrot extract, and Centella Asiatica, to swiftly calm the skin, leaving it feeling refreshed and less irritated. ($25)
