Buying guide

LICORNE vegan skincare: how to choose

LICORNE is a vegan Korean brand that organizes its products by plant ingredient. The grid here holds three main lines, Vegan Rice, Vegan Cactus Deep Moist, and a Jeju Matcha cream, plus an Azulene cleanser. This guide explains what each line does so you can pick a full routine or pull single products to fix one concern.

What vegan means for LICORNE

LICORNE formulates without animal-derived ingredients and builds each line around a single plant: rice for brightening and barrier support, cactus for deep hydration, and matcha for an even tone. If you avoid animal ingredients or just prefer plant-forward skincare, the whole range fits that brief, and the by-ingredient structure makes it easy to see what a product is meant to do before you buy.

The Vegan Rice line: a full routine

Vegan Rice is the most complete line and covers every step. It runs the Vegan Rice Toner (100ml), Serum (45ml), Ampoule (45ml), Moisture Cream (50ml), and Eye Cream (30ml). Rice extracts are used in Korean skincare for a soft brightening effect and a comfortable barrier feel. Start with the toner and cream for a basic routine, then add the serum or ampoule when you want more.

Serum or ampoule: which rice step

The Vegan Rice Serum and the Vegan Rice Ampoule both come in 45ml and both go after toner, so people often wonder which to choose. As a rule an ampoule is the more concentrated of the two. Use the ampoule when you want a stronger dose on tired or dull skin, and the serum as the lighter everyday treatment. You can layer ampoule then serum, but most people pick one.

The Vegan Cactus Deep Moist line

The Cactus Deep Moist line targets dehydration with three steps: the Ampoule (45ml), the Serum (45ml), and the Mist (100ml). Cactus extract is prized for holding water, so this line suits skin that feels tight or flaky. The mist is the easy add-on, a midday refresh over makeup or a hydration boost before the ampoule. Reach for cactus over rice when moisture is your main concern.

Jeju Matcha for an even tone

The Vegan Jeju Matcha Whitening Cream (50ml) uses matcha grown on Jeju Island, a region known in Korea for clean-grown green tea. Whitening here means evening out tone and dullness, not bleaching. Use it as your moisturizer when brightness is the goal, or alternate it with the Vegan Rice Moisture Cream depending on whether you want tone work or barrier comfort that day.

Cleansing with the Azulene wash

The Azulene Derma Cleansing (200ml) starts the routine. Azulene comes from chamomile and is used to calm redness, so this cleanser suits skin that reacts easily. It washes away the day without the stripped, tight feeling a harsh cleanser leaves, which sets up the vegan treatments that follow. Cleanse with this first, then move into your toner.

Building a LICORNE routine

A full routine runs cleanse, tone, treat, moisturize, eyes: the Azulene cleanser, the Vegan Rice Toner, an ampoule or serum from rice or cactus, a cream (rice for comfort or matcha for tone), and the Vegan Rice Eye Cream. Because the lines share a vegan base, you can mix rice and cactus steps freely. Add the cactus mist whenever skin feels dry through the day.

Matching lines to your concern

Pick the line by what you want to fix. Dullness or uneven tone points to the Vegan Rice line and the Jeju Matcha cream. Tightness, flaking, or dehydration points to Vegan Cactus Deep Moist. Easily irritated skin should anchor on the Azulene cleanser. You do not have to stay in one line; a common combo is cactus ampoule for moisture under the matcha cream for tone.

Sizing and value

Sizes are sensible for a treatment range: 100ml toners and mists, 45ml serums and ampoules, and 50ml creams. Buying within one line keeps a routine consistent and lets you finish products at a similar pace. We list 16+ LICORNE products, enough to assemble a complete vegan routine or to test one line before committing to the rest.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

  • LICORNE is a vegan Korean skincare brand that formulates without animal-derived ingredients and builds each line around a plant: rice for brightening and barrier support, cactus for hydration, and Jeju matcha for an even tone. The by-ingredient structure makes it easy to see what each product is meant to do before you buy.

  • Both are 45ml and both go after toner. The ampoule is the more concentrated of the two, so use it when you want a stronger dose on dull or tired skin, and the serum as the lighter everyday treatment. You can layer the ampoule under the serum, but most people pick one based on how much they want.

  • They target different concerns. The Vegan Rice line covers a full routine and leans toward soft brightening and barrier comfort. The Vegan Cactus Deep Moist line focuses on hydration for skin that feels tight or flaky, with an ampoule, serum, and mist. Pick rice for tone and comfort, cactus for moisture, and feel free to mix steps from both.

  • No. Whitening in Korean skincare means evening out tone and reducing dullness, not bleaching. The Vegan Jeju Matcha Whitening Cream (50ml) uses matcha grown on Jeju Island to brighten and balance tone. Use it as your moisturizer when brightness is the goal, or alternate it with the Vegan Rice Moisture Cream for barrier comfort.

  • It is a good fit for reactive skin. Azulene comes from chamomile and is used to calm redness, so the Azulene Derma Cleansing (200ml) washes the day off without the tight, stripped feel a harsher cleanser leaves. Start your routine with it, then move into the toner and your vegan treatments.

  • Go cleanse, tone, treat, moisturize, eyes. Use the Azulene cleanser, the Vegan Rice Toner, an ampoule or serum from the rice or cactus line, a cream (rice for comfort or matcha for tone), and the Vegan Rice Eye Cream. Add the cactus mist whenever skin feels dry during the day. The shared vegan base lets you mix lines freely.
