Applying illiyoon in order helps keep the routine clear

Place illiyoon products in this order: cleanser, lotion, cream, and sunscreen. Start by washing the surface of the skin, then use lotion to add moisture.

Follow with cream. In the morning, sunscreen comes last. Apply makeup after sunscreen if you wear it.

Follow the directions printed on the product for amount and frequency. Directions can differ by item, so check the box or container before use.

Product sizes and where they fit

Checking the texture and size makes it easier to place each product in a routine. “2-pack” means that the product data lists two units.

ProductSizeWhere it fits
Ultra Repair Deep Moisture Wash 500ml 2-pack500ml, 2 unitsEvening cleansing, morning wash
Ultra Repair Lotion 528ml528mlAfter cleansing
Ultra Repair Cream 200ml 2-pack200ml, 2 unitsAfter lotion
Daily Non-Chemical Sun Stick 20g20gMorning finish, before going out

The wash is a rinse-off formula. The lotion is a liquid moisturizing product. The cream is a formula containing oil used after lotion.

The sun stick is sunscreen in stick form. The 20g figure comes from the product name and does not indicate how much to use.

Check the morning and evening order

In the morning, start with cleansing, then use lotion, cream, and sunscreen. Sunscreen belongs before makeup.

  1. Use the wash according to the directions printed on the product, then rinse.
  2. Use lotion after cleansing.
  3. Apply cream after lotion.
  4. Use the sun stick as the final morning skincare step.
  5. If you wear makeup, apply it after sunscreen.

In the evening, first remove sunscreen and makeup. Then use the wash, lotion, and cream in that order.

  1. Complete the step for removing sunscreen and makeup.
  2. Use the wash according to the directions printed on the product, then rinse.
  3. Use lotion after cleansing.
  4. Apply cream after lotion.

This order separates rinse-off products from products that remain on the skin. In the morning, place sunscreen before makeup. At night, use lotion after cleansing.

Applying by hand and finishing the surface

Place lotion in the palm and spread it over the areas listed on the product, such as the face and neck. Press it in with the palms or follow the application method printed on the product.

Use cream after lotion. Place it on areas such as the forehead, cheeks, around the nose, and chin. Then spread from the center outward.

Before using a sunscreen stick, check its condition. Move it in one direction across the skin. Distinguish covered areas from areas that still need checking.

Follow the directions printed on the product for amount and frequency.

Using a puff or brush

A puff or brush can be used at the sunscreen or makeup finishing stage. If you take lotion or cream with a tool, check the product directions for whether that method is suitable.

Do not leave cosmetics on the tool after use. Follow the tool’s instructions for cleaning and replacement.

When blending sunscreen with a puff, avoid rubbing over areas that have already been covered. Use a brush in the same careful manner. Do not repeatedly move it forcefully over one spot.

After finishing, use a mirror to check for missed areas. The hairline, sides of the nose, and area in front of the ears can be easy to overlook. Check while turning the face from side to side.

How to check shade numbers and product markings

The 4 product names introduced here do not list foundation-style shade numbers. If a sunscreen or skincare item has a shade number, check it before use.

Look at the box, container, and product page. Check the color name or symbol next to the number rather than relying on the number alone.

When a product name has no shade number, there may be no numbered shade system. If you cannot find a shade marking, follow the information on the sales page and container.

Read ingredient names carefully as well. “Ceramide (an ingredient displayed for a moisturizing purpose)” is an ingredient name shown in the product name. If an ingredient is not in the product name, do not state that it is included. Treat it as a general labeling term.

The word “lotion” may refer to a milky emulsion in Japan, while the same word can indicate a different liquid texture in Korea. The same word can therefore refer to different textures in the two countries. Check whether the formula is liquid or milky and whether it is rinsed off.

Precautions

For a first use, perform a patch test on an area such as the inner arm. If the product provides patch-test instructions, follow them.

Stop using the product immediately if you notice an unusual reaction. Consult a qualified professional if the reaction continues.

Avoid contact with the eyes. If contact occurs, rinse with water without rubbing. Follow the product directions for storage.
