Quick answer
What Causes Dry Skin?
Dry skin (xerosis) lacks the natural oils and lipids that keep moisture in. It feels tight, looks dull or flaky and may itch, especially on the cheeks and around the mouth.
Dry skin is a skin type that often runs in families and becomes more common with age as oil production falls. Cold winters, heated or air-conditioned rooms, long flights, hot showers and foaming cleansers make it worse. Some medications, thyroid conditions and eczema can also cause dryness.
Dry skin differs from dehydrated skin, which lacks water rather than oil and can affect any skin type. A doctor-level assessment helps choose between rich barrier care, hydrating boosters or treatment for an underlying condition.

How long do hydration boosters last for dry skin?
Skinvive effects are typically reported to last around six months, while other hydration boosters are often repeated every one to three months. Results vary with skin type and routine.
Does Skinvive hurt?
Skinvive involves many small injections. Numbing cream is applied first, and most people describe a mild pricking feeling.
Can I get a hydration booster during a trip to Seoul?
Yes. Boosters take about 30 minutes and bumps usually settle in one to two days, so book them early in your trip to Seoul.
Dry skin vs dehydrated skin – what is the difference?
Dry skin lacks oil and is a skin type, while dehydrated skin lacks water and can happen to oily skin too. The treatment approach differs slightly, so the doctor checks which you have.
Do the doctors speak English?
Yes. English consultations are available, with LINE & KakaoTalk booking. Message +82 10-6535-2110 on WhatsApp.
