Meet Cindy & Alice

That handsome guy stealing the spotlight is Arlo, Cindy’s dog and the unofficial third member of Two Sisters Ko. He contributes moral support, quality cuddles and absolutely no skincare expertise. 🐾

Hi, we’re Cindy and Alice, two Korean American sisters from the Midwest and the women behind Two Sisters Ko. 💜

Growing up with a Korean mother gave us a personal connection to Korean culture long before K-beauty became a worldwide phenomenon. As adults, our shared love of skincare brought us back to that connection in a whole new way.

We created Two Sisters Ko because finding authentic Korean skincare in the Midwest was not always as easy as it should have been. We wanted to build a trusted place where people could discover carefully selected products without feeling overwhelmed by endless options, complicated routines or every new trend on social media.

Based in Chicago, we now ship our curated collection to skincare lovers across the United States.

And yes, we really are sisters. We may not always agree on everything, because what sisters do? 😂 But we agree that skincare should support long-term skin health, not rely on harsh formulas or promise overnight miracles.

Every product in our shop is intentionally selected, and we personally use and test the products we carry. If we would not feel comfortable putting it on our own skin, recommending it to each other or sharing it with our family, it does not belong at Two Sisters Ko.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: to make Korean skincare feel approachable, personal and easier to shop.

We focus on innovative formulas, gentle ingredients and trusted Korean brands that support hydrated, balanced and healthy-looking skin. Rather than carrying everything, we thoughtfully select products that serve a clear purpose within your routine.

Whether you are addressing dryness, sensitivity, blemishes, uneven skin tone or the first signs of aging, we want to help you find products that make sense for your skin.

Why Two Sisters Ko?

  • Curated by two real sisters who use and love Korean skincare
  • Authentic products from trusted Korean beauty brands
  • Thoughtfully selected, skin-first formulas
  • Options for sensitive, dry, blemish-prone and changing skin
  • Personal recommendations without the pressure
  • Chicago-based with nationwide shipping

Skincare Is Personal

There is no single routine that works for everyone. Your skin, lifestyle and concerns are your own, and your routine should reflect that.

Whether you are completely new to K-beauty or refining a routine you have followed for years, we are here to help you sort through the options and find what works for you.

Thank you for supporting Two Sisters Ko and allowing our small, sister-owned business to be part of your skincare journey. If you have a question or need a recommendation, reach out anytime. You will be talking to one of us, not a giant customer service department. 💜

With love,

Cindy & Alice
