1. Market Flash: The Next 'Big Thing' in Korea

The Pack Cleanser category is absolutely exploding in the Korean skincare market right now. During the recent Olive Young Sale period, search volume for pack cleansers skyrocketed by a staggering 1,700% compared to the previous year!

Data from Hwahae and Olive Young show that brands like Arencia, Hanyul, and Whipped are dominating the top rankings. This isn't just a fad; it is a core pillar of the 2026 Pro-Self Care trend, focusing on high-functional ingredients. With Korea's total cosmetic exports hitting $9.4 billion (a 12.2% increase) in late 2025, the expansion of Pack Cleanser SKUs is the next strategic move for the global market.

2. Technical Deep-Dive: Ingredients & Innovation

K-Beauty is moving beyond simple cleansing to Skin Regeneration. Next-gen ingredients like Exosomes and PDRN are now being infused directly into pack cleansers.

  • The Innovation: J2K Bio recently registered a patent for PDRN derived from yeast and lactic acid bacteria, proving its efficacy in skin regeneration and anti-inflammation.

  • The Tech Advantage: These bio-materials are more stable than traditional PDRN, providing a massive technical edge in OEM/ODM production.

Buyer's Edge: Use the USP "Triple Synergy of PDRN (Regeneration · Soothing · Elasticity)" to stand out in the global clean beauty market. Data shows that efficacy-proven products can boost customer retention rates by 20-30%.

3. Supply Chain & Brand Scouting

Looking for the next viral brand? Arencia and Hanyul are ready for the global stage.

  • Arencia’s LHA Deep Pore Cleanser: A massive hit on ranking platforms and a bestseller at Olive Young, featuring minimalist packaging and English labeling—perfect for immediate export.

  • Agility: Thanks to partnerships with ODM giants like COSMAX, these indie brands are already testing the waters in the US and Southeast Asia with flexible MOQs, ensuring a stable supply chain for global partners.

4. KNSUNCLE’S Expert Opinion

For US buyers, the Pack Cleanser trend perfectly aligns with the "Medical-Home Loop" (pairing professional treatments with advanced home care). Since PDRN ingredients are plant-derived and safe, they minimize FDA compliance risks while maximizing results.

In Southeast Asia and the Middle East—where K-Beauty exports are expected to grow by 18-20%—these high-functional cleansers are the perfect drivers for oily skin types. Plus, with Vegan-certified OEM structures, meeting local regulations like CPNP is easier than ever.
