BEWANT

BEWANT is a Korean skincare brand. The brand's Korean site writes its name as bewants, and the packaging reads be·wants. According to the HK inno.N website and recent Korean press, it belongs to HK inno.N, a Korean healthcare company. According to the brand, its care follows a slow-aging approach, a way of thinking about skincare as a routine over time rather than an instant effect.

At Ma Petite Coree, you can find BEWANT in several categories: eye care, serum, toner, cream, masks, sun care and patches. The packaging is easy to recognise: jars, tubes, bottles and sticks, with the brand logo in Latin letters.

We group the products by name, and this grouping is ours, not the brand's.

• Cica Collagen: Cica Collagen Essence Toner, Cica Collagen Moisture Serum, Cica Collagen Lifting Cream, Cica Collagen Calming Pads (10 pads), Cica Collagen Calming Pads (60 pads) and Cica Collagen Hydrogel Jelly Mask.
• Deep Toning Glutathione: Deep Toning Glutathione Ampoule Serum, Deep Toning Glutathione Eye Serum Patch, Deep Toning Glutathione Spot Patch and Deep Toning Glutathione Hydrogel Jelly Mask.
• Skin Fit Essence: Skin Fit Essence Moisture Sunscreen, Skin Fit Essence Tone-up Sun Cream, Skin Fit Essence Sebum Control Stick SPF50+ and Skin Fit Essence Soft Cooling Sun Stick SPF 50+.
• Phyto Collagen: Phyto Collagen Eye Serum Patch.
• Peptide-X: Peptide-X Firming Eye Serum Stick.
• Seaweed PDRN: Seaweed PDRN Peel-Off Jelly Mask.

The ingredients mentioned come from the product names: Cica (centella), collagen, glutathione, peptides and PDRN, short for polydeoxyribonucleotides. For the exact formula, read the ingredient list on each product page and on the packaging.

Start with the step you want: cleansing, toning, moisturizing, sun protection, eye care or a mask. For the eye area, look at the Peptide-X Firming Eye Serum Stick, the Phyto Collagen Eye Serum Patch and the Deep Toning Glutathione Eye Serum Patch. For a morning routine, go toner, serum, cream and sunscreen. For a mask break, compare the Seaweed PDRN Peel-Off Jelly Mask, the Cica Collagen Hydrogel Jelly Mask and the Deep Toning Glutathione Hydrogel Jelly Mask.

If your skin is sensitive, read the ingredients, patch-test first and browse the sensitive skin collection. According to the brand's Korean page, BEWANT products have undergone skin irritation testing; we report this claim as it is. Cosmetic advice, not medical advice.

A sample routine: in the morning, the toner, the serum, the cream and a sunscreen; in the evening, the toner, the serum and the cream, with the eye stick as the last step before the cream if you use one.

If you like discovering other Korean skincare brands, also look at Medicube, Centellian 24, Mediheal and Torriden.

The first thing that stands out in the selection is the formats. BEWANT has sticks, an eye serum stick and SPF 50+ sun sticks, but also eye patches in a jar, pads, hydrogel masks in sachets and a peel-off jelly mask. The photos also show unusual applicators, such as the ball on the Peptide-X Firming Eye Serum Stick or the roller on the Cica Collagen Lifting Cream.

The second thing is the product names, which announce their ingredients: Cica, collagen, glutathione, peptides, PDRN. You can read it straight from the titles, without digging.

To get to know the brand, you can start with a few products that show its formats well. The Peptide-X Firming Eye Serum Stick is the eye serum stick, and the Phyto Collagen Eye Serum Patch is a jar of eye patches. For a routine, the Cica Collagen Essence Toner, the Cica Collagen Moisture Serum and the Cica Collagen Lifting Cream go together by name. For the morning, the Skin Fit Essence Moisture Sunscreen slips in as the last step.

Want a small size to try? The Cica Collagen Calming Pads (10 pads) come in a pouch, and the Deep Toning Glutathione Spot Patch goes on one precise area. We do not rank these products: they are starting points, not a ranking.
