Best Korean Skin-Care Deals
Korean skin care has always been that girl. Whether you religiously double-cleanse or swear by hydrating, cast-free Korean sunscreens, there’s so much to thank K-beauty for. Amazon Prime Day—or anytime, if we’re honest—is our favorite time to restock on our faves and discover a few new-to-us brands.
Cosrx
We’ll vouch for anything Cosrx any day, but we’re fist-pumping especially vigorously as Prime Day approaches.
Cosrx
Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
Yes, we know not all viral products live up to the hype for everyone—but what else is new? We adore Cosrx’s Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence because it helps brighten our complexions and helps our subsequent heavy-hitters, like our expensive serums and creams, absorb better. It’s simple math, really.
Cosrx
The Niacinamide 15 Serum
Niacinamine is one of our favorite brightening, tone-evening, and acne-curbing ingredients—after all, it does a bit of everything. Drop The Niacinamide 15 Serum into your cart and then dispense a few drops (ha) onto your face every day and night to reap the benefits.
Cosrx
The 6 Peptide Skin Booster
What’s better than one peptide? Six, of course. After thoroughly cleansing your face, add a few pumps of this impossibly lightweight fluid into your palms and press into your skin for an intense boost of hydration, plumping, elasticity, etc.
Cosrx
Snail Peptide Eye Cream
Can’t get enough snail? Us either. Treat your delicate undereyes—and the dark circles and puffiness that annoyingly accompany them—to this brightening, fine-line-firming concoction of snail mucin, niacinamide, and peptides.
Korean Sunscreens
Korean sunscreens are in a league of their own. Unfortunately, a lot of them can’t be sold on Amazon due to FDA regulations but there are a few special cases. Naturally, they are shopping priorities.
Isntree
Hyaluronic Acid Daily Sun Gel SPF 30
Isntree’s ultra-hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Natural Sun Cream is an editor favorite, especially for drier skin. “I can usually skip moisturizer when I reach for this because my combination skin would find it a bit heavy otherwise, but it makes my skin look so fresh and radiant,” says Allure commerce editor Sarah Han.
Jenny Liu, MD, a board-certified dermatologist based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, agrees that it’s “super lightweight, elegant, and great under makeup.”
Innisfree
Daily UV Sunscreen SPF 36
Innisfree’s Daily UV Defense Sunscreen won a 2023 Best of Beauty Award because it’s not only affordable but also absorbs like a dream and leaves behind a dewy finish, with the help of green tea and sunflower seed oil. “Innisfree isn’t messing around when it says ‘no white cast,'” said contributing commerce writer Annie Blackman. It goes on clear, feels soft on my skin, and the bottle is a perfectly portable shape and size.”
Haruharu Wonder
Black Rice Moisture Airyfit Daily Sunscreen SPF 50+
The Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Moisture Airyfit Daily Sunscreen is super creamy and hydrating while delivering high protection against UV rays. Soothing niacinamide sweetens the deal.
Neogen
Airy Sunscreen SPF 50
Another lightweight, nourishing pick, Neogen’s Airy Sunscreen features 20 different plant extracts to hydrate, regulate sebum, and keep skin safe in the sun.
Cosrx
Daily Vitamin E Vitalizing Sunscreen SPF 50+
Cosrx’s Vitamin E Vitalizing Sunscreen has you covered with SPF 50+ and an antioxidant-rich formula featuring soothing cacao, cotton, and vitamin E blend. And “no white cast” basically goes without saying at this point.
Abib
Quick Sunstick SPF 50+
The most genius thing about Abib’s Quick Sunstick? Its curved applicator to glide seamlessly over the contours of your face—and wherever you need a boost of UV protection. Oh, and ceramides and cica nourish skin, too.
Word to the wise: To get adequate SPF protection, “the more [swipes] the merrier in general, but I tell patients to apply four passes back and forth on each area of application to make sure you get a good amount on,” Fatima Fahs, MD, a board-certified dermatologist based in Camden, Minnesota, advised.
Korean Moisturizers
At the heart of Korean skin care is hydration, hydration, and more hydration. So when we find Korean moisturizers packed with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and squalane on sale, we’re stuffing our carts.
Etude
SoonJung 2x Barrier Intensive Cream
Etude House’s Soon Jung 2x Barrier Intensive Cream is a great pick for sensitive skin. It’s fragrance-free and contains panthenol, which makes for peak moisture absorption, and the low-pH formula is reliably non-irritating.
Beauty of Joseon
Dynasty Cream
We also love the super gentle, dewy Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream, which is perfect for dry skin. A dream team of rice bran water, ginseng root water, niacinamide, and squalane boosts moisture levels, curbs sebum secretion, and leaves skin feeling oh so cushiony.
Mixsoon
Bean Cream
Korean fermentation practices are critical to the power of the Mixsoon Bean Cream—we’re talking a fermented lineup of bean extract, Korean pear, pomegranate, and barley. The result is a complexion-balancing, hydrating cream, perfect for morning and night application sans greasiness.
Beauty of Joseon
Red Bean Water Gel
Beauty of Joseon’s Red Bean Water Gel is an editor-favorite Korean moisturizer, especially for combination skin. “It’s so lightweight yet packs a punch of hydration and the gel texture gives my skin an immediate cooling/calming effect every morning,” says Han.
You can thank red bean and its saponins (the ingredient’s naturally occurring compounds) for imparting antimicrobial benefits and excess sebum absorption. Shout out to the consistency of the moisturizer, which goes on super smooth and glowy—it’s the perfect base for your makeup.
Korean Toners and Essences
Mixsoon
Bean Essence
We love Mixsoon’s Bean Essence for its never-harsh exfoliating properties that hydrate all the while. The non-sticky, fast-absorbing formula uses fermented beans to boost moisture and support the development of softer, more resilient skin. “Korean makeup artists apply this on clients—some of which, K-pop stars—as a makeup prep step because it gently sweeps away any gunk or residue, leaving behind a smooth slate,” Han shares.
I’m From
Rice Toner
Then, there’s the I’m from Rice Toner, which illuminates and strengthens the moisture barrier using goami rice extract (sourced from Yeoju, South Korea). This extract contains hemicellulose, an anti-inflammatory that supports healthy skin microbiota growth.
Beauty of Joseon
Ginseng Essence Water
Indulge in a ginseng moment with this Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Essence Water. This gentle, astringent formula is a good fit for oily and dry skin alike, helping to unclog pores and strengthen the skin barrier.
Tirtir
Rosemary One Essence
Tirtir’s Rosemary One Essence helps attract and retain moisture, defend against free radicals, and reduce redness. Fun fact: The rosemary is aged (dried) for 48 hours and extracted three times at varying low temperatures over 120 hours.
Numbuzin
No.5+ Niacinamide Concentrated Toner Pad
Toner pads are a huge Korean skin-care category, and The No.5+ Niacinamide Concentrated Toner Pads by Numbuzin will show you why. 70 pads are saturated with brightening smooth glutathione jelly (with an assist from niacinamide) on one side and exfoliating cotton gauze on the other. They work to target blemishes and hyperpigmentation.
TonyMoly
Wonder Ceramide Mochi Toner
Tonymoly’s Wonder Ceramide Mochi Toner features a creamy, ceramide-filled formula to hydrate and boost the skin barrier. Gently massage it into your face after cleansing, and enjoy the smoothness that follows.
Korean Cleansers
Anua
Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil
We’re all about Anua’s Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil. This silky, lightweight formula removes makeup and excess sebum like a dream—a go-to first step in your double-cleansing routine. As always, the heartleaf extract is soothing, and despite the “oil” of it all, the formula is totally compatible with sensitive, acne-prone skin.
Torriden
Dive-In Cleansing Foam Face Wash
Follow up with Torriden’s Dive-In Cleansing Foam Face Wash, which employs eight types of hyaluronic acid molecules for a deep dose of moisture. This combo makes for an ultra-hydrating, free-radical-neutralizing power couple.
Belif
Aqua Bomb Hydrating Jelly Cleanser
Belif makes some of our favorite hydrating skin-care products, and the Aqua Bomb Hydrating Jelly fits right in. Great for dry skin and removing makeup, this formula uses a Napier herbal formula to moisturize without stripping the skin.
CNP Laboratory
Deep Cleansing Perfecta
The milky CNP Laboratory Deep Cleansing Perfecta washes away makeup and sunscreen, hydrating using birch tree sap and allantoin. It’s non-irritating and well-suited for all skin types.
The Face Shop
Water Bright Foaming Facial Cleanser
The Face Shop’s Water Bright Foaming Facial Cleanser is fueled by rice extract to cleanse without stripping moisture. It’s a great match for people with especially clogged pores.
Manyo Factory
Pure Cleansing Oil
Even if you have naturally oily skin, a cleansing oil can work wonders. This one from Manyo Factory contains plentiful argan oil to wash away a day’s worth of grime while balancing sebum production and pH.
Korean Lip Mask Deals
Some days call for the quick hydration boost of a lip balm, and other days call for full moisture—that’s when we uncap our lip masks. K-beauty brands make some of our favorites.
Laneige
Lip Sleeping Mask
The super rich, TikTok viral, Sydney Sweeney-approved Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask takes care of your business while you rest. The formula’s murumuru butter, shea butter, and vitamin C melt into lips, waking you up with a juicy pout.
CNP
Honey Lip Butter
New Zealand manuka honey and propolis extract (derived from bees from tree sap) dole out 12-hour long-lasting moisture. It also has subtle plumping and firming effects.
Korean Eye Cream Deals
Beauty of Joseon
Revive Eye Serum
Think eye creams are expensive? Think again: Beauty of Joseon’s Revive Eye Serum is on sale for $15 and that’s not even the best part. The key ingredients in this lightweight formula are retinal (a more effective form of retinol that’s also gentler on skin), ginseng, and niacinamide to smooth fine lines, boost elasticity, and brighten your undereye area. Han vouches for this gel-like formula because it’s non-irritating and absorbs in seconds.
Innisfree
Green Tea Caffeine Bright-Eye Serum
Innisfree’s Green Tea Caffeine Bright-Eye Serum comes with a cooling metal applicator to wake up your undereyes as the formula hydrates and brightens.
Mizon
Snail Repair Eye Cream
Snail is back in action with the Mizon Snail Repair Eye Cream. In this little brown jar, you’ll get a treatment that firms, hydrates, tightens, and softens fine lines. No fragrances or artificial dyes necessary.
Some By Mi
Retinol Intense Eye Cream
Prime Day calls for a retinol re-up, and this pick from Some By Mi is a very solid one. The formula features peptides and niacinamide to soothe, alleviate dark circles, and tackle concerns associated with maturing skin.
Goodal
Green Tangerine Vitamin C Eye Cream
We love a citrus moment, and that’s what the Goodal Green Tangerine Vitamin C Eye Cream delivers. Vitamin P, vitamin C, and green tangerine extract go to work on dark circles while adenosine and peptides firm and amp up elasticity.
Korean Mask Deals
Biodance
Real Deep Mask Duo
Sometimes, life calls for a sheet mask, and Amazon Prime Day calls for a Biodance Real Deep Mask—a duo, in fact, with a couple of the Bio Collagen version and a couple of the Hydro Cera-Nol. You can wear them overnight for peak essence-soaking.
Hanyul
Yuzu Vitamin Sleeping Mask
If you’d rather reach for a mask that comes in a jar, the Hanyul Vitamin Sleeping Mask is a winner. Packed with the benefits of the superpower citrus fruit, you’ll get a dose of vitamins C, E, B, A and P that results in brighter skin over time.
Sulwhasoo
Face Mask
Sulwhasoo’s Face Mask clarifies and brightens your skin overnight using antioxidant-rich pomegranate extract and jujube. Use it as the last step of your nighttime routine, three times a week, for noticeably more radiant skin.
Innisfree
Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask
Innisfree’s Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask goes on cool, cuts down excess sebum, and exfoliates using AHA. Apply it to areas of the face demanding attention, keep it on for 10 minutes, and wash it off with warm water.
Best Korean Hair-Care Deals
K-Beauty puts as much TLC into its hair care as skin care—and much of the magic starts at the scalp. “[Scalp care is] ultimately what will save your hair,” Los Angeles-based hairstylist Cherin Choi tells Allure. So when you spot skin-loving ingredients like cica, niacinamide, ceramides, and salicylic acid on the back of the bottle, know that it’s part of a grander plan.
Dr. Groot
Miracle in Shower Treatment
The nourishing formula behind Dr. Groot’s Miracle in Shower Treatment removes pore-clogging buildup and encourages strength and thickness. How? It’s all in the biotin, rosemary, caffeine, and capsulated prebiotics, baby.
Dr. Groot
Hair Thickening Shampoo
Once you’ve treated your scalp, move on to the shampoo portion of the night with the Dr. Groot Hair Thickening Shampoo, which uses the same technology but to cleanse rather than treat. It’s an excellent fit for dry, damaged, or color-treated hair.
Mise en Scene
Perfect Serum Original
Mise En Scene makes some lovely hair-care products, like the Perfect Serum Original. This formula uses argan, olive, coconut, apricot, Marula, jojoba, and camellia oils to boost sleekness and softness, cutting down on frizz all the while.
Mise en Scene
Perfect Serum Original Shampoo
The Perfect Serum Original Shampoo is the ideal match for the straight-up serum, powered by a blend of Moroccan argan oil and jojoba seed, well-suited for curly hair. It lathers up into a fluffy foam and rinses out to leave behind a silky, coated feeling.
Dr. ForHair
Folligen Sea Salt Scaler Scalp Scrub
Healthy hair means scalp-first care, perhaps with the Dr. ForHair Folligen Sea Salt Scaler Scalp Scrub. Dead Sea salt offers physical exfoliation to eliminate buildup and nix odor, allowing your shampoo to function fully by prepping its canvas.
A’pieu
Raspberry Hair Vinegar Rinse
Bacterial overgrowth getting you (and your hair) down? The A’Pieu Raspberry Hair Vinegar Rinse may be able to help. After washing and conditioning, apply the nozzle to your scalp, rinse with lukewarm water, and enjoy smoother, healthier hair.
Best Korean Makeup Deals
We think Korean makeup boasts some of the latest and greatest in cosmetics, and Amazon happens to agree. From lip tints to eye shadows to mascaras, the selection is pretty vast, so let’s dig in.
Tirtir
Mask Fit Red Cushion Foundation
Tirtir’s Mask Fit Red Cushion Foundation is a compact, buildable, base-makeup wonder. The soft matte coverage plus the elasticity-boosting formula (shout out hibiscus and red propolis extracts) make for a first-rate foundation.
Fwee
Lip & Cheek Blurry Pudding Pot
We love a lip and cheek two-in-one, and the Fwee Lip & Cheek Blurry Pudding Pot leaves a soft matte finish that blends and blurs like a dream. And the shades? Oh so pigmented, nearly infinite, you get it.
Clio
Kill Lash Superproof Mascara
For people who want the most dramatic, deepest black mascara, Clio’s Kill Lash Superproof Mascara is endgame. The hourglass-shaped brush means each lash gets coated, sans clumps.
Peripera
Ink Airy Velvet Lip Tint
Lip tints are the (affordable) pinnacle of Korean makeup, so you don’t really have a reason to not pop one (or more!) into your cart. Peripera is an editor-favorite option for its wide range of lightweight, fresh-looking hues, lush finishes, and non-sticky formulas.
Espoir
Fresh Setting Powder
Lock it all down with Espoir’s Fresh Setting Powder. The superfine, pressed powder nips shine in the bud and blurs the look of pores, all while depositing 10 forms of hyaluronic acid to the skin to keep things nice and soft.
Neogen
Extra Slim Metal Mascara
The wand behind Neogen’s Extra Slim Metal Mascara reaches even the shortest, sneakiest lashes for an evenly distributed coat of clump-free color. Once you’ve applied the mascara, rinse the wand and wipe down the gold-plated metal before returning it to the tube.
Hera
Sensual Nude Gloss
Whether you’re going for a sensual look or something low-key, this gloss from Hera should do the trick. It’s high shine without stickiness and leaves behind a lovely wash of color. Han isn’t normally a gloss girlie, but Hera’s luxurious, nonsticky formulas have sold her.
Dasique
Eyeshadow Palette Special Edition
We love a little set—particularly this one from Dasique. Complete with a non-chalky, nine-shadow palette and a mini Juicy Dewy Lip Tint to seal the deal. And once you clip the 30% coupon, your total comes out to $10. One for you, one for a lucky friend.
BBIA
L’Eau Tint
There’s something so sweet about the Bbia L’Eau Tint bottle, but the results are sweeter. We’re talking about a glossy, lightweight, moisturizing, shade-ranging, and high-payoff product you’ll want in at least five colors.
Peripera
Eyeshadow Stick
Peripera is known for its lip tints, but it makes a darn good eyeshadow stick too. It’s cheap, cheerful, on sale, and comes in a ton of shimmery hues.
