Collection: Starter Kits

Korean Beauty Starter Kits are curated sets of skincare products, typically featuring multiple items from the same brand, designed to target a specific skin concern. They are an excellent way to discover Korean skincare, build a complete routine and test products that work well together. At Malkn, you'll find Starter Kits tailored to concerns such as exfoliation, brightening, and skin barrier repair.

The products included in a Korean Beauty Starter Kit vary depending on the kit’s skincare focus and objectives. Most Korean Beauty Starter Kits available at Malkn include four essential skincare steps: a cleanser, toner, serum and moisturiser. The Some By Mi Starter Kits contain products selected to target specific skin concerns, while the Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule Kit features four of the brand’s best-selling ampoules.

For sensitive skin, we recommend the Some By Mi Snail Truecica Miracle Repair Starter Kit, as it is well known for repairing sensitive and damaged skin. Formulated with Some By Mi’s patented Truecica™, a blend of Tea Tree and Centella Asiatica, and Black Snail Extract, it helps calm redness and inflammation while strengthening and repairing the skin barrier. Composed of a gel cleanser, toner, serum and cream, it combines all the right products to take care of the skin against external stressors.

Yes, Starter Kits are especially good for beginners because they allow you to test multiple products for the same skin concern at once. They are an ideal introduction to skincare, whether you are trying Korean skincare for the first time or starting your skincare journey altogether.

The products included in the Starter Kits should be applied in the following order: cleanser, toner, serum and moisturiser. This method follows the foundational K-beauty philosophy of layering your skincare from the lightest liquid consistency to the richest, thickest texture. Layering this way ensures that every single active ingredient is absorbed effectively without sitting heavily on the skin.
