SKINPASTEL Buying Guide: Recovery Serums, Red Ginseng, and Aloe Soothing

SKINPASTEL is a Korean skincare brand that organizes its lineup into focused ingredient-named systems. The Recovery X5 line covers two concentrated serums - one for brightening (Melaex) and one for anti-aging (Retinol). The Premium Red Ginseng line brings a traditional Korean ingredient into both a mask and a cleanser. Aloe vera products handle soothing and hydration at scale. This guide covers each product line and how to put them together in a routine.

What SKINPASTEL makes and who the brand is for

SKINPASTEL is a Korean skincare brand with 13+ in-stock products on Skinsli covering serums, cleansers, masks, body care, and targeted treatments. The brand structures its range around named lines: Recovery X5 for active treatment serums, Premium Red Ginseng for traditional-ingredient products, and a soothing layer built on aloe vera. A Collagen X5 Watery Cream and Coenzyme Q10 Body Lotion round out the hydration side of the range, while the Avocado Cleansing Foam and Fitch Sweet Hand Cream add practical daily-use items.

The range suits people who want both active treatment (retinol, brightening actives) and calming care (aloe vera, red ginseng) without switching brands between steps. The mix of concentrated serums and large-volume body and soothing products reflects a brand designed for a complete face-and-body regimen.

Recovery X5 Melaex Serum: targeted brightening

The Recovery X5 Melaex Serum is SKINPASTEL's brightening treatment serum. 'Melaex' in the product name points toward melanin-targeting actives - the class of ingredients that addresses hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and uneven skin tone. Recovery X5 as a line designation suggests high-concentration or multi-active formulation. Serums in this category are applied in small amounts after toning, before moisturizer, and they work cumulatively over 4-8 weeks of consistent daily use.

Apply a few drops patted onto clean, toned skin, focusing on areas of uneven pigmentation. Allow it to absorb before layering the Collagen X5 Watery Cream or another moisturizer on top. Brightening serums are typically used in the morning and evening, with SPF in the morning to protect against UV re-darkening of treated spots.

Recovery X5 Retinol Serum: anti-aging and texture

The Recovery X5 Retinol Serum is SKINPASTEL's retinol treatment. Retinol is a vitamin A derivative and one of the most evidence-backed skincare actives for reducing fine lines, improving skin texture, and stimulating collagen over time. It is also one of the more potent actives, and new users typically need a gradual introduction - starting with 2-3 times per week and building to nightly use as skin acclimatizes.

Use the Retinol Serum in your evening routine only, after toning. Apply a small amount (less than you think you need) to clean, dry skin and allow it to fully absorb before layering a moisturizer. Do not use with other strong actives like acids on the same evening during the introduction period. Retinol increases photosensitivity, making morning SPF use non-optional on any day you use retinol the night before.

Premium Red Ginseng Mask and Cleansing Foam: traditional Korean actives

Red ginseng is a traditionally processed form of Panax ginseng where the root is steamed and dried, concentrating its ginsenoside content. In Korean skincare, red ginseng is associated with anti-aging, brightening, and skin vitality. SKINPASTEL applies this ingredient in two formats: the Premium Red Ginseng Mask for a weekly or twice-weekly treatment, and the Premium Red Ginseng Cleansing Foam 150ml as a daily face wash.

The mask delivers a concentrated dose of ginseng actives in a leave-on format; use 1-2 times per week for 15-20 minutes on clean skin, then rinse. The cleansing foam applies daily ginseng exposure through the wash step - though contact time is shorter in a rinse-off product, the daily frequency adds up over time. Together they form a consistent red ginseng routine across both the treatment and cleansing steps of a routine.

Aloe Vera Soothing Gel 300ml and Mist 100ml: calming and hydration

The SKINPASTEL Aloe Vera Soothing Gel 300ml and Aloe Vera Soothing Mist 100ml form the calming and hydration layer of the brand's range. Aloe vera gel is a versatile multi-use product: it works as a lightweight gel moisturizer, a soothing after-sun treatment, a cooling post-workout face layer, and a mixing base for sheet masks. At 300ml it is generously sized for face and body use. The Soothing Mist 100ml is the spray version - portable, fast to apply, and useful for a midday refresh or post-cleanse hydration layer before serums.

The mist can be used over makeup or on bare skin. Spray from 20-25cm and allow it to absorb without patting. The gel is best applied with clean fingers or a spatula. Both aloe products can be stored in the refrigerator for a more intensely cooling effect, useful for reactive or sunburned skin.

Premium Collagen X5 Watery Cream 30ml: the face moisturizer

The Premium Collagen X5 Watery Cream 30ml is SKINPASTEL's face moisturizer, positioned alongside the Recovery X5 serums in the brand's active-treatment naming scheme. A watery cream texture is typically lighter than a standard cream and absorbs quickly - suited to layering over serums without adding excessive weight. The collagen designation in SKINPASTEL's X5 naming indicates a concentrated active formula, in this case with collagen components for hydration and firmness support.

At 30ml it is a smaller size than the standard 50ml face cream - enough for 6-8 weeks of daily use for most people. Apply after your Recovery X5 serum step and before SPF in the morning, or as the final evening layer after retinol or Melaex serum. The watery texture makes it fast-absorbing, which is particularly useful when using the Retinol Serum at night since you do not want to layer anything heavy too quickly over retinol.

Coenzyme Q10 Body Lotion 500ml and Fitch Sweet Hand Cream 60ml

The Coenzyme Q10 Body Lotion 500ml brings CoQ10 (ubiquinone) to the body care step. CoQ10 is an antioxidant used in skincare for its role in cellular energy and its mild anti-aging and brightening effects. At 500ml it is a full-supply body lotion for daily use - apply after bathing to damp skin. The large format is practical for daily body moisturizing where small tubes deplete quickly.

The Fitch Sweet Hand Cream 60ml is a 60ml hand cream - slightly larger than the standard 30ml travel hand cream, making it the desk or nightstand size. The Fitch name appears to be a SKINPASTEL line name. Hand cream is the last step after hand washing and applies as a targeted moisturizer for the hands and cuticles. At 60ml it is compact enough to carry but provides more product per tube than a 30ml format.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

  • Start with 2-3 applications per week in the evening rather than daily use. Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin (excess moisture can increase retinol irritation) and allow it to absorb fully before layering the Collagen X5 Watery Cream on top. After 2-4 weeks with no signs of irritation (flaking, redness, stinging), increase to 4-5 nights per week, then nightly if your skin tolerates it. Always use SPF the following morning - retinol increases photosensitivity. Avoid combining with other strong actives like acids on the same evening during the first month.

  • The two serums target different concerns. The Recovery X5 Melaex Serum addresses pigmentation and brightness - dark spots, uneven skin tone, and dullness through melanin-targeting actives. The Recovery X5 Retinol Serum targets skin texture, fine lines, and collagen production through vitamin A. They can be used together in a routine, but apply them on separate evenings when starting the retinol to avoid layering strong actives while your skin is adjusting. The Melaex Serum is safe for morning and evening use; the Retinol Serum is evening-only.

  • Apply the Premium Red Ginseng Mask to clean, dry skin 1-2 times per week. Leave on for 15-20 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with warm water. Follow with your usual toner and moisturizer. Red ginseng masks are anti-aging and vitalizing treatments suited to all skin types, including mature skin and skin that looks dull or tired. Consistent weekly use over 4-6 weeks delivers more visible results than occasional applications.

  • Yes. The SKINPASTEL Aloe Vera Soothing Gel 300ml is formulated for both face and body use. On the face, it works as a lightweight gel moisturizer or a calming layer after serums. On the body, it soothes dry, irritated, or sunburned skin. At 300ml the generous size is suited to body use where you apply a larger amount per session. Store in the refrigerator for a cooling effect on reactive or sensitized skin. Both the Aloe Vera Gel and the Aloe Vera Soothing Mist 100ml address the same calming concern in different application formats.

  • At 30ml the Premium Collagen X5 Watery Cream provides roughly 6-8 weeks of daily morning and evening use for most people using it on the face only. A watery cream format is absorbed quickly and used in smaller amounts per application than a rich, heavy cream, which helps the smaller size last. If you find 6-8 weeks too short a supply for your preferences, the 30ml size is still useful as a travel-size or secondary moisturizer alongside a larger primary cream. It pairs well after the Recovery X5 serums as a fast-absorbing moisturizer layer before SPF.

  • Yes, the Premium Red Ginseng Cleansing Foam is a daily face wash suited to morning and evening use. At 150ml it provides roughly 2-3 months of twice-daily use. Red ginseng in a cleanser contributes mild antioxidant and vitalizing benefits through regular contact, even though the rinse-off format limits absorption compared to a leave-on product. The foam format is a standard wash step that works well for all skin types. Follow with the Aloe Vera Mist or a toner to restore surface hydration after cleansing.

  • Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone) is an antioxidant that plays a role in cellular energy production and has mild skin anti-aging effects when applied topically. In body lotion, it addresses oxidative stress on skin that contributes to dullness, uneven texture, and signs of aging on the body. CoQ10 is a well-established ingredient in Korean and Japanese anti-aging skincare. The SKINPASTEL Coenzyme Q10 Body Lotion 500ml delivers this active in a full-supply body lotion format for daily post-bath application.
