Uiq
UIQ is a Korean skincare brand built around the skin microbiome, and its Biom line runs through almost everything we stock: barrier toners and cleansing foams, the Dewey Biom serum, soothing and soft creams, a mild sunscreen, and targeted treatments for dark spots and under-eye circles. We list 22+ UIQ products here, so you can put together a full microbiome-friendly routine from one brand rather than piecing it together across several.

UIQ buying guide: building a microbiome routine
UIQ is a Korean skincare brand whose products center on the skin microbiome, the community of microbes that lives on healthy skin. Its Biom range covers cleansing, toning, serums, moisturisers, and sun care, so you can run an entire routine on one brand. This guide walks through what UIQ sells, how the pieces fit together, and how to choose the right ones for your skin.
What UIQ is and why the microbiome matters
UIQ formulates around the idea that a balanced skin microbiome supports a stronger barrier and calmer skin. That focus shows up in the naming: the core line is called Biom, short for microbiome, and it shows up in the Biom Barrier Toner, Biom Barrier Cleansing Foam, and the Biom Soft and Soothing creams.
The practical takeaway is that UIQ leans toward barrier support and gentle, low-irritation formulas rather than strong actives. If your skin feels reactive, tight, or easily upset by harsher products, this is the kind of range built for you.
The Biom line at a glance
Most of what we carry sits inside the Biom family, which makes it easy to keep a routine consistent. The Biom Barrier Cleansing Foam handles washing, the Biom Barrier Toner preps skin afterwards, and the Biom Soft Cream and Biom Remidi Soothing Cream cover moisturising for different needs.
Because these share the same barrier-first philosophy, they are designed to sit well together. You are not mixing competing approaches when you stack a UIQ cleanser, toner, and cream in one routine.
Choosing a UIQ serum
UIQ offers more than one serum, and they target different goals. The Dewey Biom Serum (also sold in a 50ml size) is the hydrating, glow-oriented option, while the Revival Biom Serum 50ml leans toward recovery and resilience.
For pigment concerns, the Biombita Seed Dark Spot Serum 30ml is the focused pick, aimed at uneven tone and dark spots rather than overall hydration. Pick the serum by the job you want done: everyday dewiness, barrier recovery, or spot correction.
Cleansing and toning
The Biom Barrier Cleansing Foam 120ml is the starting step, a foaming wash meant to clean without stripping the barrier. After cleansing, the Biom Barrier Toner 150ml restores moisture and readies skin for the serums and creams that follow.
This pairing is the foundation of a UIQ routine. Getting these two steps right means the rest of the line has a calm, hydrated base to work on.
Soft Cream vs Soothing Cream
UIQ splits its moisturisers by what skin needs on the day. The Biom Barrier Soft Cream 60ml is the general daily moisturiser, while the Biom Remidi Soothing Cream 50ml is the choice when skin feels irritated, warm, or in need of calming.
Many people keep both and switch between them: the Soft Cream for normal days, the Soothing Cream when the barrier is having a harder time. Either way you stay inside the same barrier-focused system.
Sun care and targeted treatments
Daytime protection comes from the Biom Remidi Mild Sunscreen 50ml, a gentle SPF that fits the brand's low-irritation approach and finishes a morning routine. For specific concerns, UIQ adds focused items such as the Biom Vitacy60 Dark Circle Eye Patch for the under-eye area and the Biombita Seed Dark Spot Serum for pigmentation.
These targeted pieces are add-ons rather than the core of a routine. Start with cleanse, tone, serum, moisturise, and sun, then layer in the eye patch or dark spot serum as your concerns call for them.
Putting a full routine together
A simple UIQ routine reads cleanse, tone, serum, moisturise, and protect: Biom Barrier Cleansing Foam, Biom Barrier Toner, a Biom serum, a Biom cream, and the Mild Sunscreen in the morning. Because every step comes from the same brand, the textures and goals line up.
If you are new to UIQ, begin with the toner and one cream to see how your skin responds, then expand into the serums and treatments. With 22+ products on this page, there is room to grow the routine without leaving the brand.
Who UIQ suits
The barrier-first, gentle character of UIQ makes it a comfortable fit for sensitive, dry, and easily irritated skin. The Soothing Cream and Mild Sunscreen in particular are aimed at people who react to stronger formulas.
Combination and normal skin work well here too, especially with the Dewey Biom Serum and Soft Cream for everyday hydration. If your main goal is aggressive exfoliation or high-strength actives, UIQ is not built for that, and you would pair it with treatments from elsewhere.
