Editorial & affiliate policy

Glosi Korea is independent and written by one person, Karen Kim, a licensed esthetician in Seoul. Here’s how I keep it honest.

Independence

No brand pays to be featured, and no brand reviews my posts before they go live. I buy or test products myself in store. If I ever receive a product for free, I’ll say so at the top of that post.

Affiliate links

Some links on this site are affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases, and I may join other retailers’ programs. It costs you nothing extra. Commissions never decide what I recommend: I include products I’d skip, including ones I own, and I explain why.

What counts as my opinion

  • “I use” / “on my skin”: my own experience.
  • “In store” / “on my hand”: tested at Olive Young.
  • “The label says”: the brand’s claim, translated, not my finding.

Corrections

If you find a mistake, please contact me. I fix factual errors as soon as I can and update the post date.

Not medical advice

Everything here is general information and personal opinion. I’m an esthetician, not a doctor. For skin conditions, see a licensed dermatologist.
