About IrelKGlow
“Skincare made simple, inclusive, and effective — inspired by real stories and results.” Meet the founder behind the glow.
Hi, I’m Irel — and this is how it all began.
I’ve always loved everything to do with skincare and self-care. I might be an engineer by background — a bit of a geek who loves research and video games — but I’ve always been curious about how things work, especially when it comes to skin.
About ten years ago, I started struggling with stubborn hyperpigmentation, oily areas around
my nose, and pores that I could see even through makeup. No matter what I tried, my skin looked tired and uneven. That frustration led me down a rabbit hole of ingredient research — niacinamide, azelaic acid, glycolic acid — you name it, I studied it.
Some products helped for a while, but when I discovered Korean and Japanese skincare, everything changed. The formulas felt gentle yet powerful, focused on long-term skin health rather than harsh quick fixes.
Within weeks, my skin started to look calmer, brighter, and genuinely healthy again.
Why I started helping others
Once I saw those results, I couldn’t stop sharing them. I’m that friend who always says, “You have to try this — it really works!”
My cousin struggled with rosacea and large pores; I helped her build a simple routine, and her skin completely changed. A friend told me she had “no time” for skincare, so I sent her a labelled seven-step routine with clear steps — and now she’s the one reminding everyone else to wear SPF. Another friend used to say her makeup never sat right because of her oily skin. With the right products and a few small adjustments, she finally found balance and confidence.
Over time, more friends and family began reaching out — people who felt overwhelmed, unsure what to buy, or convinced skincare just wasn’t for them. I helped them understand their skin type, what ingredients to avoid, and how to build simple routines that worked. Watching their confidence grow and their skin transform reminded me why I love doing this.
Seeing those changes — the excitement, the confidence, the “I can finally go makeup-free” moments — made me realise I wanted to help more people feel that way.
That’s how IrelKGlow was born.
Our mission
I know how overwhelming skincare can feel. Too many products, too many steps, and no idea where to start.
My goal with IrelKGlow is to make skincare simple, inclusive, and clear — a place where you can find trustworthy products, understand what each one does, and learn how to use them in the right order.
Every product on the website shows where it fits in your routine, what skin type it suits, and what ingredients make it special. You’ll also find blog posts and guides that explain everything in plain language — no complicated jargon, just real advice that works.
The people behind the glow
I couldn’t do this alone. My partner Lee has been my biggest supporter from day one — helping with ingredient research, packaging details, logistics, and just about everything else. He started this journey as someone who barely had a skincare routine, and now he loves it. Seeing his skin glow (and his SPF habits!) makes me smile every day.
Together, we want IrelKGlow to be more than a shop — it’s a place where people feel seen, guided, and encouraged to care for their skin with confidence.
What we believe
- Skincare should feel calm, not confusing.
- Everyone deserves to feel confident in their skin.
- Consistency beats perfection.
