In this episode of the Polished Beauty Podcast, I talk with Daniel Oh, CEO and Co-Founder of Oval Skin, about cutting through the hype of K-Beauty ( Korean Beauty). We explore how Oval Skin uses personalized routines, AI skin analysis, and a “Michelin Guide” approach to Korean skin care product selection. Think of oval skin as the sephora store online for exclusive top notch korean beauty products.

For the first time on the show, a live skin analysis was performed, giving listeners an exclusive look at how the technology works. The discussion also exposes the myth of dark circle creams—topical products cannot fix them because the issue is structural and vascular, not surface-level.

Daniel highlights why authenticity, self-love, and science-backed solutions are driving K-Beauty’s global rise. From Centella Asiatica and Niacinamide to Exosome Technology, the episode offers actionable insights and practical tips for the ambitious one who want to shine from the inside out using K-beauty products.
