Here are some speed round fun facts about some of the hottest products and collections from Korres.

korres skincare golden crocus
Golden Crocus

  • ‘Golden Crocus’ is named after ‘Krokos’, which is a small town in Greece, just south of Kozani, where they grow ‘Krokos Kozani’ (Saffron).
  • There is a 14-day natural harvest where the flower is hand-picked by families.  The discarded parts are put back into the earth, so there is zero waste.
  • This anti-aging elixir plumps, hydrates, treats fine lines, and can boost your existing skincare routine (Look at it like a conductor who keeps the orchestra in sync).

  • Contains lupeol, which is taken from the leaves of the chestnut tree (This is the first time that lupeol has been used as an active ingredient in cosmetics!).  Listed as ‘HALupiol’, pure lupiol is encased in a hyaluronic acid shell, which helps the ingredient penetrate the skin and repair wrinkles.
