Thanks to Pure Pro Aesthetics for sponsoring this content so that we can share the latest advancements in Korean skincare transdermal delivery systems.


L+A Gets Korean Skincare Ingredient Technology Update

If you’ve been paying attention to the professional medical and spa skincare industry, you’ve noticed the continued growth in the presence of Korean Skincare. L+A has seen this growth at the IECSC, IMCAS, and at AMWC! Our sponsor Pure Pro Aesthetics is an exclusive distributor of Korean Skincare in the U.S. and they always keep L+A up to date on the most recent advancements. 

Skincare Correction Season

We love Fall, not for the holidays, but for the intense conversation surrounding advanced corrective skincare procedures! We use our brand sponsors as our go-to resources for the latest in research and development, so we reached out to Cherece Law-Taylor at Pure Pro Aesthetics to find out about the Korean Skincare focus for Fall 2024. 

Cherece had one word for L+A, “Ethosomes”! Not exosomes, but ethosomes! 

Our curiosity was piqued. 


Ethosomoes Are The Latest in Transdermal Delivery Systems

Honestly, we’d never heard the term “Ethosomes” before so we asked Cherece for an explanation. Her explanation is illuminating.

“Ethosomes are the latest advancements in Korean skincare transdermal delivery systems that enable ingredients to be absorbed into the deeper layers of the skin. High concentrations of ethanol create the ability to disrupt the skin’s lipid bilayer thus allowing ingredients to penetrate the stratum corneum & the hair follicles.

Ethosomes are non-toxic, double-layered lipid components that have a high drug-loading capacity, improving the overall delivery of ingredients deep into the skin cells. Ethosomes can help stabilize the vesicles and protect them from degradation. Ethosomes increase the fluidity and permeability of the cell membrane therefore allowing the drug/actives to reach the underlying tissue and increase the efficacy of the treatment.” Cherece Law-Taylor

Esthetician Reviews of New ISOV Serums

For the past year, I have been faithfully using the Isov HD Ethosome serums at home and retailing to my clients. I’m happy to say that we are all addicted. I initially started with the Multi Vit C HD serum and immediately decided to add the Time Reset HD serum. I knew without a doubt that both of these could easily fit into my current AM & PM routine. The HD serums absorb nicely and can easily be layered with other serums and moisturizers. Each of the HD serums offers multiple benefits and caters to particular client concerns. My latest addition has been the Skin Boosting ACT firming solution filled with a peptide complex to address wrinkle reduction. My most retailed serum is the Multi Vit C HD with the Skin Brightening and Time Reset coming in at a close second.  Simply the best! Shannon Drake 


I have been using the Blue Energy HD serum for the entirety of this year in my treatment room with my rosacea and reactive clients and this has been such a game changer in being able to build up the resiliency of their skin. My clients don’t leave with flushed skin anymore even after more aggressive treatments and they all have told me that their skin feels noticeably more soothed and calm after their facials thanks to this product. I professionally believe that between the Phyto Exosomes and the Copper Tri-Peptides, this line of serums is the golden standard in cellular recovery as well as combating premature aging. This will always be on my backbar in the treatment room. Rachel Sobczak 


I ordered the ISOV HD Ethosome Serums shortly after they were released. With so many new products being released all the time, all claiming to be the latest in technology I wasn’t sure what to expect with these.

But from my first use of the Blue Energy Serum, I was completely blown away! The texture was smooth and the product was calming. A lot of products designed for oily/acneic skin leave the skin feeling dry and tight, but this serum left it hydrated and nourished.

I soon tried the rest of the serums, on myself and clients, and everyone could not stop raving about them. We love that you can mix and match for customization.

You can truly tell the difference and the results speak for themselves. I highly recommend these products. Samantha Luce


I am completely impressed with the HD Ethosome serums from Isov! These formulations provide an exceptional glow and instantly hydrate the skin. The quality of the formulations is outstanding, and I tend to gravitate to these during my treatments. Because of the range, I’m confident recommending them to any client no matter the issue we’re tackling.

In my spa, the Skin Boosting serum is a top seller, while the combination of Blue Energy, Skin Boosting, and Pink Energy are the ones I reach for the most in the treatment room. If you haven’t tried these already, I highly recommend them! You won’t be disappointed. Eustacia Waldschmidt


Hello there, my name is Kimberly Allen, I have utilized ISOV products since 2021.

As a Licensed master esthetician in the state of Washington. I have been a full-time practitioner for almost 5 years. I have tried a multitude of products, especially those marketed towards estheticians in states for our treatment rooms. When I started using Korean Pro Products it changed the way I saw skincare as a whole. Today I would like to speak about the HD Serums by isov. These serums have changed my facials in the best way possible. When utilized with other skin modalities ie: Nano needling, LED therapy, and Leaf infusion device. They produce almost instant results. I also have started suggesting them for at-home care for clients as well. Their innovation for skin delivery and better absorption exceeds 95% of other serums I have seen. Not only has it surpassed my expectations but also that of my clients. These are must-haves for in and out of the treatment room. Kimberly Allen


As an esthetician with over a decade of experience, I’m always on the lookout for products that truly make a difference for my clients’ skin, and ISOV Ethosome Serum has exceeded my expectations. After incorporating it into my personal routine, I’ve noticed significant improvements in skin hydration and overall texture. The ethosomes deeply penetrate the skin, allowing for enhanced absorption of active ingredients. It’s lightweight, non-greasy, and perfect for layering under other treatments. My skin feels more radiant and plump, and I can confidently recommend it to anyone seeking an effective boost in their skincare regimen. Sandra Kavaliauskas
