Using Camellia (Dongbaek) Oil in autumn: the season brings falling humidity and barrier recovery, so what changes is texture, frequency and what you layer around it — not usually whether you use it at all.

Dongbaek oil is genuine Korean heritage — Jeju's camellia groves supplied it long before anyone called it skincare. It is a rich, oleic oil, so it suits dry skin far better than oily skin.
