Median Korean Oral Care: Is It Worth Importing?

Median Korean Oral Care: Is It Worth Importing? - blushcraft

Median is an established Korean oral-care brand within Amorepacific’s broader consumer portfolio. The brand is better known in Korea for toothpaste and toothbrushes than it is internationally.

What is different about Korean oral-care products?

Often, not as much as marketing makes it seem. Toothbrush performance still comes down to bristle feel, head shape, comfort and technique. Country of origin alone does not make a toothbrush better.

What is the Dongui Boncho Yeongu toothbrush?

Blushcraft currently carries the Median Dongui Boncho Yeongu Toothbrush [4pc]. The appeal is mainly the specific design and multi-pack format rather than a fundamentally different approach to brushing.

Who should consider it?

It makes sense for someone who already likes Median products or prefers this toothbrush design. If you are perfectly happy with a locally available soft-bristle brush, there is no strong reason to import one just because it is Korean.

Bottom line

Median is a legitimate Korean oral-care brand, but your brushing technique and consistency matter much more than branding.
