Review: Erborian Skin Therapy

Over here, we are fans of skincare that actually works while you sleep. After all, night-time is when our skin gets a chance to repair itself so we were very excited when Erborian’s Skin Therapy Range landed on our beauty desk.

The three-step collection blends the best of Korean skincare innovation with French luxury expertise, promising to transform tired, lacklustre skin into something brighter, smoother, and more radiant by morning.

The Skin Therapy Multi-Perfecting Night Oil Serum first launched in 2024 and quickly made waves for its unique bi-phase texture and blend of 17 plant extracts. Earlier this year (2025), Erborian expanded the line with two new additions: the Skin Therapy Milky Serum and the Skin Therapy Eye Cream – both designed to complement the original night oil serum for even more visible overnight results.

I’ve been trialling the full range together since early spring and here’s everything you need to know: how each product works, the results I noticed, and which one I think is the true hero of the collection.

What is the Erborian Skin Therapy Range?

The Erborian Skin Therapy Range is a three-product collection designed to work overnight, tackling multiple skin concerns while you sleep. Each product is powered by a blend of traditional Korean botanicals (think bamboo, ginseng, and centella asiatica) combined with active ingredients like PHA, hyaluronic acid, caffeine, and niacinamide.

Here’s what’s included in the line-up:

Skin Therapy Multi-Perfecting Night Oil Serum (launched 2024)

This was the first product in the collection and the one I’ve had the most time with. It’s a bi-phase oil-serum hybrid, infused with 17 plant extracts, formulated to boost radiance, refine texture, and reduce signs of fatigue overnight. What I love is how lightweight it feels. It glides on like an oil but absorbs like a serum, leaving no greasy residue.

Skin Therapy Milky Serum (launched 2025)

The newest addition, this is another bi-phase formula that feels silky on the skin. It’s packed with 17 plant extracts, 10% PHA (to gently exfoliate and smooth), and hyaluronic acid (to hydrate and plump). It’s designed to target seven key aspects of the skin, from texture and luminosity to suppleness and fine lines. Despite being highly active, it works well on all skin types, even oily and combination – without feeling heavy.

Skin Therapy Eye Cream (launched 2025)

Formulated with 9 plant extracts, caffeine and 5% niacinamide, it targets puffiness, dark circles, hydration, and fine lines. As someone who often runs on little sleep, I’ve noticed a real difference in the mornings, my eyes look less tired and more refreshed, which is saying something!

Together, the three products are designed to complement each other and deliver a visible overnight transformation. But they’re also versatile enough to be slotted into an existing routine if you don’t want (or need) the full collection.

My Experience with the Erborian Skin Therapy Range

Because the Skin Therapy Multi-Perfecting Night Oil Serum launched first in 2024, I had the chance to try it on its own before the full range was released. Initially, I was a little unsure –  17 plant extracts sounded like a lot, and I did notice some mild sensitivity when layering it with my usual moisturiser and eye cream.

But once the Milky Serum and Eye Cream were launched earlier this year and I started using them as a trio, everything changed. The products work beautifully together, and any sensitivity I’d felt before disappeared. Instead, I began to notice even better visible results such as smoother texture, more hydration, and a healthy radiance by morning.

Here’s how I used them:

• Step 1: Skin Therapy Milky Serum – I’d shake the bottle and apply it first, after using a cleanser and toner –  letting its silky texture sink in. It absorbed quickly without leaving a film on my skin.
• Step 2: Skin Therapy Eye Cream – This one became a staple both morning and evening. It helped reduce puffiness and dark circles overnight, but it also worked well under concealer during the day.
• Step 3: Skin Therapy Night Oil Serum – I’d follow with a few drops, sealing in the hydration. Despite being an oil-serum, it never felt greasy. It is hydrating enough so I skip using a moisturiser.
  

The real magic though, was in the results. Every morning my skin looked fresh, plumped, and well-rested, even on nights where I barely got any sleep. My under-eyes were noticeably less puffy, and I found myself feeling confident enough to go makeup-free most mornings – just SPF and lip balm. Also, each product is adaptable which is always a good thing. You don’t necessarily need all three, they each slot into an existing routine seamlessly. But when used together, the synergy is undeniable.

The Standout Hero: Skin Therapy Eye Cream

While all three products in the Skin Therapy range bring something to the table, the Skin Therapy Eye Cream is, for me, the hero of the collection.

As someone who rarely gets a full night’s sleep, puffiness and dark circles are a constant battle. This eye cream made the most noticeable difference, not just in how my under-eyes looked in the morning, but also in how they felt. By the next day, my eyes appeared brighter, more refreshed, and less puffy, even when I’d had just a few hours of rest.

What I also loved is how versatile it is:

• At night, it worked beautifully to reduce tiredness and puffiness by morning.
  
• In the day, it sat well under makeup. Hydrating without being heavy, and smoothing the under-eye area for concealer application.
  

It’s the product I would recommend to anyone looking to dip their toes into the Skin Therapy range, because the results are both fast and visible, even if you’re not using the full trio.

Final Thoughts

What stood out to me the most after trialling the Skin Therapy range as a trio was how beautifully the products complemented one another. While I initially had mixed feelings about the Multi-Perfecting Night Oil Serum on its own, with its 17 plant extracts sometimes feeling a little overwhelming when layered with other products in my routine – those doubts completely disappeared once I began using it alongside the Milky Serum and Eye Cream. Together, they created a routine that felt balanced, indulgent, and effective.

Texture and application

• The Night Oil Serum has a luxurious, bi-phase oil-serum texture that feels surprisingly lightweight. Once shaken and applied, it glides across the skin and sinks in quickly, leaving no greasy residue; just soft, nourished skin.
  
• The Milky Serum is silky, feather-light, and instantly hydrating. It’s easy to layer and works well with combination and oily skin types too.
  
• The Eye Cream is rich but not heavy, hydrating without clogging pores, and sinks in fast enough to wear under makeup during the day.
  

The subtle floral scent across the products makes the application process feel like a mini ritual; calming and spa-like without being overpowering.

Results
The real proof, though, was in the results. By layering the Milky Serum first, followed by the Eye Cream, and finishing with theNight Oil Serum, my skin looked noticeably glowing, plump, and hydrated the next morning. The puffiness around my eyes was reduced, dark circles looked softer, and my complexion had that coveted “well-rested” radiance, even when I hadn’t actually had a full night’s sleep.

I also loved how versatile the products are individually. If you can’t commit to all three, each one integrates seamlessly into an existing skincare routine to help reduce signs of fatigue and refresh the complexion overnight. But used together, the glow is undeniable.

Final Verdict
The Erborian Skin Therapy range delivers on its promise of visible overnight results. It’s an investment, but one that pays off quickly with hydrated, radiant, and refreshed skin. If you’re someone who struggles with dullness, tired eyes, or lack of glow, this is a range that deserves a spot in your night-time routine.
