Parnell buying guide: the Shikamanu line and how to use it
Parnell is a Korean skincare brand whose signature is the Shikamanu line, a centella-leaning range aimed at calm, comfortable skin. The skinsli grid carries 19+ Parnell items, including the Shikamanu Toner, the Shikamanu 92 Serum, a Gel Cream, a Serum Mask, body mists, and skincare-makeup hybrids like the Serum Cushion and Skin Fit Foundation. This guide walks through what each one does and how to build a routine around them.
What Parnell and Shikamanu are
Parnell is a Korean facial-care brand, and almost everything in the skinsli grid belongs to its Shikamanu line. The naming points to centella, the soothing botanical behind the wider cica trend, so the range is built for skin that wants calm and comfort rather than strong actives. Because the toner, serum, mask, and cream all share the same line, they are designed to layer cleanly as one routine.
The Shikamanu Toner
The Shikamanu Toner 200ml is the prep step that comes straight after cleansing. It resets the skin, adds a first layer of hydration, and helps the serum and cream that follow spread and absorb. At 200ml it lasts through daily morning-and-night use. Pat it in with your hands rather than wiping with a cotton pad so more of the product stays on your face.
Shikamanu 92 Serum and Serum Mask
The Shikamanu 92 Serum 30ml is the line's core treatment step, a concentrated layer you apply after toner and before cream. The Shikamanu Serum Mask is the same idea in sheet form: a soaked mask that delivers a flood of serum in one 15 to 20 minute sitting, useful as a weekly boost or before an event. Use the serum daily and reach for the mask when skin feels especially dry or stressed.
The Shikamanu Gel Cream
The Shikamanu Gel Cream 75ml is the sealing step. Its gel texture sits lighter than a rich balm, so it suits normal, combination, and warmer-weather skin that wants moisture without heaviness. Apply it as the last skincare step to lock in the toner and serum underneath. The 75ml jar covers daily use for a good stretch before you need a refill.
Shikamanu body mists
The Shikamanu Body Mist 150ml gives the same soothing line in a spray-and-go format for the body. It is handy after sun, after a shower, or any time skin feels hot and needs a quick refresh. Because it sprays on, it is the easiest way to bring the Shikamanu feel to larger areas the facial steps do not cover.
Skincare-makeup hybrids: Serum Cushion and Foundation
Parnell also makes complexion products that carry the Shikamanu skincare angle. The Shikamanu Serum Cushion 15g is a cushion compact that blends coverage with a serum-style finish, and the matching Serum Cushion Refill 15g lets you reuse the case. The Shikamanu Skin Fit Foundation 15ml is a liquid base in the same family. These suit anyone who wants light coverage that still feels like a skincare layer rather than a heavy mask.
How to build a Parnell routine
A daily Shikamanu routine runs: cleanse, then the Shikamanu Toner, then the Shikamanu 92 Serum, then the Gel Cream. Swap in the Serum Mask once or twice a week in place of the serum step for a stronger hydration hit. In the morning you can finish with the Serum Cushion or Skin Fit Foundation for coverage, and keep a Body Mist nearby to refresh skin through the day. Let each layer absorb for a few seconds before the next.
Choosing by skin type and concern
The Shikamanu line is a natural fit for sensitive, reactive, or easily flushed skin thanks to its centella focus. Normal and combination skin will like the light Gel Cream, while drier skin can layer the Serum Mask over the daily serum for extra moisture. If you mainly want a calm, low-fuss complexion product, start with the Serum Cushion. The Body Mist suits anyone who runs warm or spends time in the sun.
Sizes and value
Parnell's sizing is built for daily use: the 200ml toner and 150ml mists last a long time, while the 30ml serum and 75ml gel cream are standard treatment sizes. The Serum Cushion is the one to plan around, since buying the 15g Refill instead of a new compact each time keeps the case and lowers the per-use cost. Match the format to how often you reach for each step.

Pick the cushion for quick, refillable everyday coverage and the foundation if you prefer applying a liquid.

Cleanse, then apply the Shikamanu Toner, the Shikamanu 92 Serum, and the Gel Cream. Swap in the Serum Mask once or twice a week in place of the serum step. In the morning you can finish with the Serum Cushion or Skin Fit Foundation, and use a Body Mist to refresh through the day.
