Among its powerful ingredients are Greek Yoghurt, Green Olive Oil, Wild Rose, and Pomegranate.

Soothing Greek Yoghurt

We love eating Greek Yoghurt, but did you know that it does wonders for your skin too? It is said to soothe inflamed and irritated skin, is rich in pre+probiotics, which in turn hydrates, reduces redness, and rebalances the most sensitive of skin. Choose from the cleanser, serum, moisturizer, sleeping facial, and face mask!

Yoghurt also comes in Korres' sun care collection, which helps us sun-loving Filipinos stay protected under the harmful UV rays out there. In this lineup are four products: cooling gel, sunscreen face + eyes cream gel, tinted sunscreen face cream.

Healing Pure Greek Olive

In the Greek isle of Crete, which is also called 'Mother Earth Crete', are ancient olive trees that produce superior olive oil, which Korres integrates into its line of skincare, body care, and lip care essentials. Olive oil promises elastic skin, soft and shiny hair, and velvety lips.
