What's a Water Glow Injection
(or Skin Booster/Hydro Injection)?
The reason Water Glow Injections work so well is because they use microneedles or direct injections to deliver nourishing ingredients straight into the dermal layer. Unlike regular skincare products that only stay on the surface, this method helps the ingredients absorb deeper, making the results much more noticeable.
Simply put, Water Glow Injections are meant to improve your overall skin quality. The hyaluronic acid they contain won’t change your facial contours; it focuses on hydration, repair, and restoring the skin. Think of it as a medical-grade skincare treatment that works from the inside out.
1. REJURAN
REJURAN has become one of the most talked-about skin treatments in Korea over the past few years. People often say the injections are painful, but they still keep going back because the results are so noticeable.
The main benefit of REJURAN isn’t quick hydration; it’s about rebuilding the skin’s structure and improving overall texture.
That’s why many people looking to treat early signs of aging, dullness, acne scars, pitted scars, or sensitive skin choose REJURAN as their go-to skin booster. It’s also commonly paired with routine skin treatments or lasers to help maintain long-term skin health.

2. JUVELOOK

JUVELOOK is a new Korean skin booster that combines poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which helps stimulate collagen, with the deep-hydrating benefits of hyaluronic acid. This mix delivers both instant hydration and long-lasting firmness in one treatment.
In Korea, JUVELOOK is about as popular as Restylane, and the brand has expanded quickly in recent years. Aside from the well-known skin booster (blue bottle), the lineup now includes a collagen stimulator (black bottle), a version designed for the eye area (green bottle), and JUVELOOK G (orange bottle).
3. ELRAVIE Re2O
Lately, the skin booster that everyone in Korea has been talking about is ELRAVIE Re2O. It uses collagen that’s structurally identical to the collagen in our skin, so it absorbs better, feels more natural, and delivers strong moisturizing and pore-filling effects which is one of the main reasons its popularity has skyrocketed.
The biggest difference compared to REJURAN Water Glow Injection is the focus. REJURAN is mainly about hydration and regeneration, while Re2O Collagen Aqua Injection helps fill enlarged pores, boost collagen levels, and bring back that youthful, plump look.
4. LIZNE
LIZNE Skin Booster uses PN (polynucleotide) as its main ingredient which is a substance extracted from salmon DNA.
PN helps the skin regenerate by boosting collagen and elastin production. It’s especially effective for repairing damaged skin, improving firmness, relieving deep dryness, and softening fine lines.
Although its ingredients are similar to REJURAN Healer, LIZNE tends to be less painful, causes minimal swelling, and is much more budget-friendly. Because of this, it’s a popular choice among younger patients who want the benefits of PN skin boosters without the higher price tag.
LIZNE is often considered an affordable alternative to REJURAN, offering many of the same benefits at a more accessible price.
5. SKINVIVE
SKINVIVE Water Glow Injection is a hyaluronic acid–based skin booster developed by Allergan in the U.S. Unlike traditional fillers, this type of hyaluronic acid isn’t used for volume or shaping, it’s specifically designed to hydrate the skin and improve brightness and smoothness.
Many people notice their skin looks clearer, softer, and more radiant after treatment. Because the results typically last 6–9 months, it’s often called a long-lasting hydrating injection.
SKINVIVE is also FDA-approved in the U.S. and CE-certified in the EU, so its safety and effectiveness are well recognized.
If you don’t want frequent skin booster sessions and prefer something with longer-lasting results (and you’re okay with a slightly higher budget) SKINVIVE is a great option that tends to deliver very satisfying results!
How to Choose the Right One For You?
In Korea, skin boosters are such a common part of everyday beauty care that there are countless brands and formulas to choose from. Beyond the five popular options mentioned above, treatments like BELOTERO REVIVE, EXOSOME, LILIED M are also widely talked about.
Whether you’re trying to boost hydration, refine texture, manage oily or acne-prone skin, shrink pores, or support collagen production, there’s a skin booster in Korea designed for your specific needs.
* During your consultation, it’s best to be clear about your skin concerns, budget, and the results you’re hoping for. This helps the doctor recommend the skin booster that will work best for you.
Aftercare
When you get a skin booster, many skin clinics also offer add-on recovery treatments. These can help your skin absorb the ingredients better and support the healing and regeneration process after the injections.
For the first few days, it’s completely normal to see some redness, swelling, or light bruising (similar to what you might get after a blood draw). These usually fade within a few days. Because injectable treatments can make your skin a bit more sensitive, it’s best to avoid whitening products or acids for one to two weeks beforehand. Instead, focus on gentle hydration and proper sun protection.
Recommended Clinics
Although skin boosters are injections, they’re similar to getting a quick vaccine shot — the key isn’t the doctor’s “aesthetic sense,” but whether the clinic is using genuine, undiluted products.
If you’re worried about receiving diluted or low-quality skin boosters in Korea, it’s safest to choose clinics that Korean customers trust. Creatrip’s list of top-rated skin clinics is reviewed and verified locally, so you can feel confident about the quality.
