8 hybrid Korean essentials that serve as both makeup and skincare

Founded in 1999, British beauty brand Rodial emerged long before actives and acids became part of the skincare lexicon. At a time when the beauty industry played it safe, this one broke the mould and offered results that felt almost clinical, but with the luxury of high-end skincare. Across the world, it gained favour with A-listers, backstage pros and skincare obsessives alike. But the brand's founding ethos remains intact: create targeted, transformative skincare that gets straight to the point.
Hence, the high-performance formulas mirror the effects of professional treatments and the ingredients are as bold as the brand itself. Think bee venom, dragon’s blood resin and snake peptides—all paired with powerhouse actives and designed to lift, blur, sculpt and brighten.
Yes, it’s real. And yes, it works. This is the product that made believers out of beauty editors. Powered by dragon’s blood—a soothing tree resin known for its healing properties—this advanced gel is designed to lift, firm and redefine the contours of your face. It cushions the skin barrier while creating a visible tightening effect that lasts all day. Think of it as your post-facial glow, bottled. The lightweight, silky texture makes it ideal to go under makeup or to be layered into a targeted nighttime routine.
How to use: Apply 1–2 pumps over clean skin in the AM and PM, massaging upwards along the jawline, cheeks and neck.
These dual-action pads deliver more than just a surface cleanse. Each one is soaked in a potent infusion of vitamin C, glycolic acid and fruit enzymes that brighten, exfoliate and clarify in a single sweep. Dullness, uneven tone and congestion don’t stand a chance. They're perfect for travel, post-workout refreshes or whenever your skin needs a reset. With continued use, expect a visibly more even, luminous skin tone.
How to use: After cleansing (or in place of it in the morning), swipe across the face, avoiding the eye area. No need to rinse. Follow with serum or moisturiser.
The serum that put Rodial on the global skincare map, this oxygen-infused formula is packed with syn-ake—a powerful peptide that mimics the muscle-relaxing effects of snake venom to visibly smooth fine lines and prevent new ones from forming. Instantly plumping and deeply hydrating, it delivers both immediate and long-term benefits with a texture that sinks into skin like silk. Over time, your skin may feel firmer, look more lifted and reflect light more evenly. It's no surprise that this serum is a celebrity favourite.
How to use: Massage a few drops into clean skin before moisturiser, both morning and night. Focus on areas prone to fine lines, like the forehead and around the eyes.
Consider this your entry point into retinol usage. This featherlight gel pairs professional-strength retinol with calming plant extracts, delivering all the cellular turnover and anti-ageing benefits with none of the dryness or flaking. It refines skin texture, reduces the appearance of pores and softens fine lines while you sleep—making it a smart choice for retinol beginners and seasoned users alike. Ideal for warmer climates or layering with other actives.
How to use: At night, apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin 2–3 times a week, gradually increasing frequency as tolerated. Follow with a moisturiser and always apply SPF the next morning.
This indulgent serum harnesses the power of bee venom to stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity, making it one of Rodial’s most potent anti-ageing formulas. It’s also infused with hyaluronic acid and plant stem cells for added hydration and cellular support. Despite its powerhouse status, the texture is whisper-light and sinks into skin without leaving any residue. It’s a true multitasker that lifts, smoothes and plumps in one elegant step.
How to use: Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin before moisturiser, in the morning or at night. Use sparingly as a little goes a long way.
