IOPE
IOPE is a brand of Amore Pacific. It is based on highly-enriched herbal extracts and cutting-edge
scientific technology. Through advancement from the science of herbs to a bioscience, IOPE
achieves the best possible technology for beautiful skin by seeking a perfect balance between
nature, science, and humans.
IOPE is just one of several Korean skincare brands under the umbrella of K-
beauty giant Aritaum. While the line ideal for women of many ages, it’s
especially good for middle-aged/older skin because of the focus on products
that address those concerns. IOPE champions plant science, with naturally
derived product ingredients. The brand is considered a mid-range brand,
with pricing starting at $28. Its biggest claim to fame is its cushion compact,
which contains BB cream and achieves a dewy, healthy look instead of the
matte powder look popular in America. You can get one from just about
every major K-beauty brand now, but IOPE did it first.
