The Beta Glucan Power Moisture Serum is the brand's hero hydrating serum, using beta-glucan (a fermented oat-derived molecule) as the primary active. At $29.02 for 50ml, it's priced at the accessible end of functional Korean serums. iUNIK's positioning competes directly with The Ordinary and similar minimalist brands but with Korean texture sensibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeta-glucan is a well-studied skincare ingredient with documented benefits for hydration, barrier support, and wound healing. Its molecular structure provides hydration similar to hyaluronic acid but with additional barrier-calming benefits. Beta-glucan doesn't get as much mainstream attention as hyaluronic acid, but in K-beauty circles it's considered one of the under-appreciated hydrating ingredients. This serum features beta-glucan as the second ingredient by concentration, which is unusually high.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It Does\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeta-glucan delivers deep hydration and supports the skin's natural barrier function through immune-related skin receptors. It's calming, which makes it excellent for sensitive or reactive skin. Additional hydrating ingredients (hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, panthenol in typical iUNIK formulations) support the hydration and brightening effects. The serum format sits well under any cream, with a light texture that doesn't conflict with other routine steps. For reactive or dehydrated skin, this is a gentle-but-effective daily serum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDehydrated and dry skin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Primary hydration support.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensitive or reactive skin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beta-glucan is particularly calming.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimalist skincare fans:\u003c\/strong\u003e Short ingredient list.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarrier-compromised skin recovery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports barrier function.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBudget functional skincare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Accessible price, real actives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolume: 50ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrice: $29.02\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHero active: beta-glucan (high concentration)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTexture: watery serum, light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIngredient count: minimal (around 10 ingredients)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse: morning and evening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply after toner to slightly damp skin. Dispense 3 to 4 drops, pat into face and neck. Allow 30 seconds absorption, then follow with additional serums or moisturizer. Use morning and evening consistently. For maximum effect: apply to very damp skin for better hydration spread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor layered hydration during dry phases: apply this first, then follow with a hyaluronic acid serum. The two work synergistically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat does beta-glucan actually do?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeta-glucan is a polysaccharide that binds to skin receptors and triggers healing and hydration responses. It's a proven ingredient for hydration, barrier support, wound healing, and anti-aging at the cellular level. Studies show meaningful benefits at concentrations around 0.1% and above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow does it compare to hyaluronic acid?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComplementary rather than competitive. Hyaluronic acid is a humectant that pulls water into skin. Beta-glucan is a humectant plus a calming-regenerative active. For pure hydration: HA. For hydration plus calming: beta-glucan. Many users stack both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWill it break me out?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery unlikely. Beta-glucan is non-comedogenic and widely tolerated by acne-prone skin. The minimal ingredient list reduces allergen exposure too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow does this compare to The Ordinary HA serum?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimilar accessibility, different active focus. The Ordinary HA is $8 to $10, pure hyaluronic acid focus. iUNIK is $29, beta-glucan focus with added hydrating ingredients. The Ordinary is cheaper but plainer; iUNIK adds Korean formulation polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow long does 50ml last?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwice daily use: 2 to 3 months.
