LANEIGE

LANEIGE is a South Korean skincare and makeup brand launched in 1994 by Amorepacific, the Korean beauty group. Its name comes from the French “la neige”, meaning snow. From the start, LANEIGE put water and science at the heart of its identity. The brand first went international in 2002, starting in Hong Kong, then grew across Asia and North America before arriving in Europe in 2019, in Sephora stores across 18 markets.

The Water Bank line, launched in 2002, is the heart of the brand. It's built around Blue Hyaluronic Acid, LANEIGE's own form of hyaluronic acid, paired in some products with ceramides, panthenol or peptides. The line covers a cleanser, toner, emulsion, serum, moisturizer, eye cream and sunscreens.

• Cream Skin: milky toners you apply right after cleansing.
• Perfect Renew: the line for mature skin, from oil-to-foam cleanser to cream.
• Bouncy & Firm: a serum and sleeping masks for skin that looks bouncier.
• Radian-C: vitamin C care for radiance.
• Neo: cushions and powders for your base.
• Homme: a short routine for men.

Dry or dehydrated skin? Start with Water Bank: the Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Toner, the Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Serum, then the Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Cream. At night, swap your moisturizer for the Water Sleeping Mask EX. Sensitive or reactive skin? The Cica Sleeping Mask, with centella asiatica, helps soothe it overnight. Looking for more firmness, or have mature skin? Go for Perfect Renew and the Bouncy & Firm Sleeping Mask. Combination to oily skin? The Water Bank Gentle Gel Cleanser cleanses gently, and the Neo Cushion The Matte cushion keeps your base fresh. For dull skin, the Radian-C Cream brings vitamin C into your routine. A simple LANEIGE day looks like this: cleanser, toner, serum and moisturizer in the morning, finished with the Water Bank UV Barrier Sunscreen SPF50+, then the same steps at night with a sleeping mask on top a few evenings a week. Cosmetic advice, not medical advice: when in doubt, patch-test a new product on a small area first.

LANEIGE made a clear choice: hydration comes first. The brand calls its research Water Science. Since it launched, it has studied how water interacts with skin and how to make hydration work harder. Its second pillar is overnight care. LANEIGE turned the leave-on sleeping mask into a ritual of its own, first with the Water Sleeping Mask for your face, then with the Lip Sleeping Mask, made just for lips. The result is a simple routine: you sleep in your treatment instead of rinsing it off.

On Ma Petite Coree, the Perfect Renew 3X Cream Advanced and the Perfect Renew 3X Signature Serum have been among our best-selling LANEIGE products in recent months, proof that the LANEIGE anti-aging line is as loved as its hydrating care. In makeup, the Neo Cushion The Matte, the Neo Cushion The Glow and the Neo Essential Blurring Finish Powder are in high demand. For night care, the Bouncy & Firm Sleeping Mask, the Cica Sleeping Mask and the cult Water Sleeping Mask EX are must-haves. For everyday hydration, the Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Cream and the Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Eye Cream make an easy duo. And for lips, the Lip Sleeping Mask remains the brand's signature step.
