Laneige's freshly renovated flagship store in the heart of Myeongdong, LANEIGE seoul, is now open, and it's a destination that embodies the brand's science-led approach and spirit. Within this first-of-its-kind space, visitors can immerse themselves in a design-forward, hyper-personalized experience with bespoke services across three categories: skin, complexion, and lip.
The Lip Sleeping Mask experience, inspired by an ice cream counter, is a fun way to customize the brand's iconic lip treatments with a device that has temperature-controlled viscosity and nozzle engineering. The Neo experience centers on a cushion compact produced on demand by a robot. And LANEIGE seoul's Cream Skin experience begins with an AI-based skin reading, then a custom blend is mixed on-site in 20 minutes from 25 possible formulations.
