Various types of medical skin care are used to improve problematic skins. This study aimed to investigate female college students' intention to accept medical skin care so that they could solve their skin problems. A self-administered survey was conducted in 257 female college students in Busan. Frequency analysis, t-test, ANOVA, Duncan's post hoc test, and multiple regression analysis were carried out using an SPSS 21.0 program to analyze the data collected from the survey. As for the factors related to female college students' intention to accept medical skin care, they scored 3.45±0.46 for acception and 3.47±0.48 for intention. The acception-related factors included average (p<0.01), positive (p<0.01), and very positive (p<0.01) in terms of awareness of cosmetics and the intention-related factor was acception (p<0.001). Awareness of cosmetics affected acception, which then affected intention. It is therefore necessary to induce female college students to use cosmetics properly and provide reliable information so that they can become more aware of cosmetics and accept medical skin care.
