What I tried: Aqua Radiance Treatment (75 minutes, $200) Where: Civasan Laboratories

Located on the fourth floor of Mandarin Gallery, this Korean facial salon has a bright and open entrance that’s hard to miss. My first impression of the space is how exceptionally clean it looks. The light pink walls and minimalist décor are also tastefully done.

After a thorough consultation with my Korean skin therapist Lily, I’m led to the treatment room. I lay on a heated bed (bonus!) and she takes me through a series of steps for the Aqua Radiance facial, a gentle treatment that caters to dry skin and dull skin tone. First up is double cleansing, followed by a light extraction, which, thankfully, is almost pain-free. Then I’m treated to a boosting ampoule and an LED mask application to calm down the skin. A Balsam mask is applied and, 10 minutes after, I wake up to a clearer and glowier base.

The facials use premium products from Korean skincare brand Civasan, which specialises in improving problematic skin. Plus, all the skin therapists are Koreans with many years of experience working with well-known spa companies, so you can be assured you’re in good hands.
