Riman’s Proprietary Giant BYoungPool

Riman’s patented Giant BYoungPool, or as some call it, tiger grass is a specialized more potent strain of Centella Asiatica, which is grown on Jeju Island, a UNESCO World Heritage site, in the island’s mineral rich pure lava water.

BYoungPool traditionally know as, “The miracle elixir of life,” promotes skin regeneration, soothes and calms irritated skin, provides intense hydration, helps with hyperpigmentation, and improves the skin’s natural barrier.

Scientific evidence shows BYoungPool’s saponin content, called  triterpenoids, is the primary source of it’s beneficial effects. The most potent triterpenoids being asiaticoside, madecassic acid, and asiatic acid.

Studies suggest certain triterpenoids stimulate type I collagen synthesis. Collagen is a vital component of the skin’s dermis. Other studies show BYoungPool saponin extracts improve the skin’s strength, thus increasing skin elasticity. The plants anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties lead to glowing, structurally sound skin. BYoungPool’s high polyphenol content and antioxidant activity promote firm skin for a youthful appearance.

Seoul National University did a study which showed Giant BYoungPool has a significant anti-wrinkle effect and reduces hyperpigmentation proving another exciting aspect of Giant BYoungPool.

Cleansers – The Double Cleansing Method

One of the foundational steps in Korean skincare is double cleansing, a method designed to thoroughly remove makeup, impurities, sunscreen and excess oil while leaving the skin fresh and clean. Double cleansing involves two types of cleansers:

Oil-Based – EX Line Purecell Cleansing Oil:

This luxurious cleanser is great for removing makeup, sunscreen, and sebum. It gently lifts away impurities while hydrating and without stripping the skin. It melts into your skin to effectively dissolve dirt and impurities. It is vegan, free of common allergens, safe for sensitive skin, and leaves skin feeling moisturized.

Water Based –  EX Line Snow Enzyme Cleanser EX

After using an oil-based cleanser, a water-based cleanser helps to remove any remaining impurities, leaving the skin ready for the next steps. The Snow Enzyme Cleanser is an enzyme infused, rich, creamy cleanser which gently and effectively cleanses skin. Natural soapberry and coconut leave skin fresh, but not stripped. Papain enzymes from Papaya and Bromelain enzymes from Pineapple gently remove dead skin cells and leave skin softer than ever. This cleanser can even be used on sensitive skin.

By incorporating both an oil-based and water-based cleanser, double cleansing ensures that skin is thoroughly cleansed without the dryness or irritation that can come from a harsher single cleanse.

Exfoliator

Ex Line Active Clean-Up Powder

Ex Line Active Clean-Up Powder is a plant derived, powder enzyme cleanser that gently removes dead skin cells and impurities, while evening out the skin’s texture. It leaves skin clear and supple and maintains the skin barrier and a balanced ph. Gentle fruit acids balance the skin and unique papain enzymes remove impurities. The results… moisturized, healthy, glowing skin.

Toner – Hydration And Balance

Ex Line Vieton Oil Mist

Ex Line Vieton Oil Mist provides a protective layer of moisture, balances skin lipids, adds quick absorbing hydration, prevents transepidermal water loss, and improves skin radiance. Camellia seed oil and Seaberry water infuse dry skin with nutrients to moisturize and revitalize, for that glass skin glow. The nature of this spritz allows for water and oil to deliver both hydrating (water-based) and moisturizing (oil-based) ingredients to the skin for greater luminosity and a glow on the go.

Pro Tip: The Vieton Oil Mist can also be used as a setting spray to provide the perfect dewy glow.

Serums – Targeted Treatments For Brightness, Hydration, And Anti-Aging

EX Line Calming Balance Gel
