You can buy authentic Dr.G skincare in Canada at Kiyoko Beauty, a Canada-based Asian beauty retailer that sources directly from Korea. Orders ship from Canada with no duties at the border, and shipping is free on orders over $65.
Why Dr.G is so popular
Dr.G is a Korean skincare brand known for formulas made with sensitive skin in mind. Its range runs from a mild mineral sunscreen to a gentle gommage peeling gel and a black snail line built around rich, nourishing textures. Most of what Kiyoko carries is fragrance-free or marked suitable for sensitive skin on the product page, which is a big part of why Canadians with reactive or easily flushed skin keep coming back to it.
The other draw is that the line covers a full routine without feeling complicated. You can pick one hero, like the sunscreen, or build a few steps around the black snail ampoule and cream.
Where to buy Dr.G in Canada
- Big online marketplaces. Dr.G shows up on large marketplaces, but listings often come from third-party sellers. Check who the seller is, read recent reviews and look at the expiry date before you order.
- Ordering from Korea. Korean shopping sites stock the full range, though shipping to Canada can take weeks and duties or brokerage fees may be added at delivery.
- Canadian Asian beauty retailers. Shopping from a store that already holds stock in Canada means faster delivery and no surprise fees.
Kiyoko falls into that last group. Every Dr.G product we sell is sourced directly from Korea, 100% authentic, with no gray-market stock and no knockoffs. Orders leave our Canadian warehouse with UPS, Purolator or Canada Post, there are no duties to pay, and shipping is free over $65.
How to spot authentic Dr.G
- Look for clean, sharp printing on the box and tube, with Korean labelling and a clear batch or expiry code.
- For the Mild Up Sunscreen sold in Canada, check for the NPN listed on the product page (80124417).
- Be wary of prices far below what other retailers charge, especially from sellers with few reviews.
- Buy from a retailer that tells you where its stock comes from and stands behind it.

Dr.G Mild Up Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ (50ml)
Our best-selling Dr.G pick in Canada. It's a mineral sunscreen that uses zinc oxide as its only UV filter, with a dewy, weightless finish that doesn't feel sticky. Centella asiatica extract and pycnogenol round out the formula, and it's fragrance-free, so it suits sensitive skin. Apply it as your last morning step, about 30 minutes before going outside.
Dr.G Brightening Peeling Gel (120ml)
A gommage-style gel you massage onto a damp face and rinse off. It gently buffs away dead skin so your face looks brighter and feels softer, and the brand describes it as suitable even for sensitive skin. Keep it to once or twice a week and skip the eye area.
Dr.G Royal Black Snail Cream (50ml)
Dr.G says this cream contains 20% black snail mucin extracts, plus black bee honey extract and royal jelly protein for a nourished, bouncy feel. Niacinamide and tranexamic acid help skin look clearer and more even. It's the step to finish on if your skin runs dry.
Dr.G Black Snail Retinol Ampoule (50ml)
This ampoule pairs snail secretion filtrate with retinol and hydroxypinacolone retinoate, so it's a softer way to bring a retinoid into your evening routine. It helps skin look smoother and more refined over time. Patch test first and wear sunscreen every morning while you use it.
Dr.G Royal Black Snail Ampoule (30ml)
The richest step in the line. The brand says it holds 63% black snail mucin extracts, along with black bee honey extract, royal jelly protein, squalane, ceramide and cholesterol to support a comfortable, moisturized skin barrier. Use it when skin feels tight or looks tired.
How to layer Dr.G's black snail line
The two Royal Black Snail products are made to work together. Pat in the ampoule first, then seal it with the cream. If you also use the retinol ampoule, save it for the evening and apply it at the essence or ampoule stage, then follow with the Royal Black Snail Cream. On nights you exfoliate with the Peeling Gel, skip the retinol so your skin isn't doing too much at once. In the morning, swap the retinol out and finish with the Mild Up Sunscreen.
A simple Dr.G routine
- Morning: gentle cleanser, Royal Black Snail Ampoule, Royal Black Snail Cream, Mild Up Sunscreen.
- Evening: cleanser, Black Snail Retinol Ampoule (start two or three nights a week), Royal Black Snail Cream.
- Once or twice a week: Brightening Peeling Gel on damp skin after cleansing, on a non-retinol night.
Patch test any new product on a small area for a few days before using it on your whole face, especially the retinol ampoule and peeling gel.

Dr.G FAQ
Is Dr.G sold in Canada?
Yes. Kiyoko stocks Dr.G in Canada and ships it from our Canadian warehouse, so there are no duties to pay.
Is the Dr.G Mild Up Sunscreen a mineral sunscreen?
Yes. Zinc oxide is its only UV filter, and it's fragrance-free.
Can I use the Black Snail Retinol Ampoule if I'm new to retinol?
It's a gentle option to start with. Use it a few nights a week at first, patch test, and wear sunscreen daily.
How often should I use the Brightening Peeling Gel?
Once or twice a week is plenty. Massage it onto damp skin, rinse well, and avoid the eye area.
Do I need both the Royal Black Snail Ampoule and Cream?
Not at all. Either works on its own, but layering the ampoule under the cream gives drier skin more cushion.
