NEEDLY

NEEDLY is a Korean skincare brand. The brand's Korean website shows the address and business number of the company Natural Endotech, based in Seongnam in Gyeonggi Province, and a Korean company registry confirms that this company exists. At Ma Petite Coree, the NEEDLY selection is shipped from Seoul.

The name is written NEEDLY in capital letters on the packaging, and the motto "Picky. Safe. Feel the Difference." is printed on many products. You will see it, for example, on several pad jars, on the A to products and on the Ishower Spa Mask tube.

To help you find your way, Ma Petite Coree groups NEEDLY products by name. These are groupings by name, not a ranking from the brand:

• Daily Toner: Daily Toner Pads, Daily Toner Masks and Daily Toner.
• Mild: Mild Cleansing Pads, Mild Micellar Cleansing Water, Mild Deep Cleansing Oil, Mild Cleansing Balm and Mild Cleansing Gel. The oil label lists camellia seed oil, olive oil, argan oil and rice bran oil, and the gel label lists salicylic acid.
• Cicachid: Cicachid Chilling Pads, Cicachid Relief Cream and Cicachid Soothing Ampoule. The labels list Chamaecyparis Obtusa Water.
• Crossbarrier: Crossbarrier Masks, Crossbarrier Toner and Crossbarrier Cream. The toner label lists Ceramide and Panthenol.
• Vita C Glow: Vita C Glow Jelly Pads, Vita C Glow Toning Cream and Vita C Glow Toning Ampoule.
• A to: A to Lotion, A to Cream and A to Cream Skin.
• pH Balancing: pH Balancing Essence Lotion and pH Balancing Rich Cream.
• RetiFit: RetiFit Collagen Gel Pads and Retifit Collagen Gel Mask.
• Patch for Blemish: Patch for Blemish and Patch for Blemishes Colorful. The label lists niacinamide, madecassoside and salicylic acid.
• Youth Core: Youth Core Eyecream and Youth Core Sun Serum, whose label reads SPF50+ PA++++.

A few products do not fit any of these groupings: Panthenol Water Gel Cream, Sensory Handcream, Ishower Spa Mask and Peony Jelly Mask.

Start with the step that is missing from your routine. To remove makeup or sunscreen, the NEEDLY removers are Mild Micellar Cleansing Water, Mild Deep Cleansing Oil and Mild Cleansing Balm. For the second step, the cleanser is Mild Cleansing Gel or Mild Cleansing Pads.

To tone, choose between pads and a bottle. Daily Toner Pads or Cicachid Chilling Pads suit you if you want something quick; Daily Toner or Crossbarrier Toner if you prefer to apply a toner by hand. Then an ampoule such as Cicachid Soothing Ampoule or Vita C Glow Toning Ampoule comes before the cream.

To moisturize, the Crossbarrier, Cicachid, A to and pH Balancing families each offer a cream; compare their pages and read the labels. If your skin reacts badly to some textures, test a new product on a small area first. For single spots, the NEEDLY patches go only on the area concerned.

Patches, eye care and masks have their own collections too.

The first thing you notice in the NEEDLY selection is how many products come as pads. There are Daily Toner Pads, Mild Cleansing Pads, Cicachid Chilling Pads, Anti-trouble Pads, Vita C Glow Jelly Pads and RetiFit Collagen Gel Pads. The idea is simple: take a pad from the jar, apply it, then close the jar.

The second trait is how readable the names are. A NEEDLY product says what it is in its title: Cleansing, Toner, Cream, Ampoule, Mask or Patch. You can build a routine step by step without guessing what each jar is for. Always read the full ingredient list on the package you receive.

To discover NEEDLY, here are products to look at first depending on what you need. For a two-step cleanse, start with Mild Deep Cleansing Oil or Mild Cleansing Balm, then the gel Mild Cleansing Gel. To tone, Daily Toner Pads and Daily Toner are two ways to do it, as pads or from a bottle.

For a cream, look at Crossbarrier Cream, Panthenol Water Gel Cream or A to Cream. For the eye area, there is the eye cream Youth Core Eyecream. For daytime, Youth Core Sun Serum shows SPF50+ PA++++ on its label. Finally, the patches Patch for Blemish and Patch for Blemishes Colorful are handy to keep within reach.
