![47-year-old Kang Ye-won reveals her skin was ruined after using department store cosmetics: "It felt like I had a burn for two years" [Gwang Ye-won]](https://image.starnewskorea.com/cdn-cgi/image/f=auto,w=1200,q=75/21/2026/11/2026110618174733544_1.jpg)
Actress Kang Ye-won confessed that she suffered from skin problems for two years after using department store cosmetics.
On the 5th, a video titled "The secret to 47-year-old Kang Ye-won having not a single wrinkle? A real chat with Jeong Suk and CEO Seong Ji-in of Nasol" was released on the YouTube channel 'Gwang Ye-won'.
On that day, Kang Ye-won discussed skincare with Seong Ji-in, the representative of a matchmaking agency, and Jeong Suk from Season 20 of "I Am Solo," among others.
Kang Ye-won stated, "One day I used department store cosmetics and my skin turned upside down, and it has been two years since then. For two years, it was flipped as if I had suffered a burn." She added, "That is when I stopped going to department stores."

Subsequently, Kang Ye-won introduced German-made aesthetic cosmetics that she had been using for over eight years. She said, "Women who go to aesthetic clinics in Cheongdam-dong will all know about it. The size is very small, yet it costs 300,000 won." She continued, "Every time I bought it, I wondered if I should really pay that much for this, but I couldn't help but use it."
She further explained, "I have wanted to make cosmetics since eight or nine years ago. If I were to make it myself, I thought I absolutely had to create a cream like this."
Kang Ye-won also revealed that she took the product in question and visited a cosmetics manufacturer herself. She said, "I told them I wanted to make something exactly like this product but at a lower price." She added, "The company was troubled by the request."
Meanwhile, Kang Ye-won participated as a co-developer for a skincare brand launched last month, engaging in product planning and development.
