Toner
This is the best, most gentle exfoliant ever. I struggled a lot with spots post breakouts. Even though the actual pimple would be gone in a few days, the red/brown left behind would last months. But, genuinely, if there’s one product on this list you...
Swimming Pool Toner - Korean Daily Exfoliating & Hydrating
To everyone that said this is glass skin in a bottle, 1000% yes. Do not buy this is you don’t want hydrated, glossy, plump skin with minimal to no irritation. I use about 2-3 layers to achieve the most hydrated skin ever. This is a product I will nev...
TIRTIR Milk Skin Rice Toner | Deep Moisturizing
A little stronger than most of the products on here, but it actually really helped my skin. To be fully transparent, I shelfed this soon after purchasing because it was just too many acids for my skin and ended up being irritating. However, I find th...
SOME BY MI AHA BHA PHA 30 Days Miracle Toner 150ml
Serum
PSA: If you’re looking for a retinol effect without the dryness/irritation/purging of retinol, this is a great alternative. Gentle and started noticing visible reduced appearance of pores in around 2 weeks of regular use (2-3x weekly). Leaves skin ex...
Bakuchiol Plumping Serum - Pore & Wrinkle Minimizer
Actual liquid gold, this has 5 different types of hyaluronic acid and can be layered! It’s a little sticky and more serum-like than toner-like, but dries down well and keeps me glowy. I love it on my oiler days and my drier days all the same despite ...
Hada Labo Gokujyun Premium Hyaluronic Lotion 140ml
I almost never repurchase serums because I don’t like overwhelming my skin with a list of products daily, but this is such a gentle, hydrating formula, that I’ve gone through bottles and even purchased as gifts for others. I truly think it would work...
Torriden DIVE IN Hyaluronic Acid Serum 50ml
Moisturizer
Super hydrating and thick, perfect for those winter months. Great if you guasha in between your routine since it leaves skin silky for a minute. It’s honestly my favorite moisturizer ever. It looks flawless under makeup and layers well with any other...
TIRTIR Natural Ceramide Cream | Deep Moisturizer
I literally keep this in my bag for no-makeup days. It dries down quickly and matte but still gives my skin that extra hydration boost and refreshed look. I love this more in the summer so if you have oiler skin, definitely give this a go. It’s never...
Hyalu-Cica Moisture Cream
This product feels like aloe and is extremely cooling. I use it all over my body, especially during the summer. It’s a superrr lightweight, watery gel texture. If you have redness / constant inflammation or if you struggle with your skin actually abs...
Naturie Skin Conditioning Gel, 180g
I don’t typically like snail mucin products but I’m so glad I gave this one a shot. Single-handedly got rid of the texture I had on my nose tip and made my pores look significantly smaller. It absorbs into skin insanely well and quickly. This product...
KSECRET SEOUL 1988 Snail Mucin 93% Cream
Mask
At some point in my life, my smile lines became more obvious on my face. Even though there were definitely other contributing factors like stress, diet, etc., once I started using this mask specifically, I noticed my skin was not only looking better ...
BIODANCE Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask Hydrogel
I stumbled upon this mask once when I was around 18 during a particularly bad breakout and never looked back. Even though I don’t really have breakouts that bad anymore, I had to include this product. Immediately upon removal, I notice significantly ...
Dermask™ Clearing Solution Face Mask 5 Pack | Dr.Jart+ Skincare
Cleanser
My favorite cleanser ever, it’s so gentle yet effective. In fact, I use this product to remove my makeup. It makes a creamy foam, has no scent, and leaves me with that cool, clean skin feeling. I also recommended this to my 8 year old sister who was ...
numbuzin No.2 Deep Clean Cleansing Foam
This is such an amazing cleanser for anyone with sensitive skin, oily, combo, or dry. If you’re nervous about finding a cleanser, this is such an easy one to like. For those who wear makeup, though, I do have to say that this won’t get it off, you sh...
ETUDE SoonJung 5.5 Foam Cleanser Sensitive
Leaves my nose so soft with every use and blackhead free after a few days!! You just gently rub in circular motions for ~3 minutes and wash off!
Pig Nose Clear Blackhead Deep Cleansing Oil Balm
Eye cream
Technically an eye cream, but can also be used on wrinkles/fine lines (my mom swears by this fact). Personally, it’s a strong retinal that doesn’t irritate my skin and actually works fast. I had pretty dark under eyes because of lack of sleep/school ...
KSECRET SEOUL 1988 Eye Cream Retinal 4%
This is a more gentle retinal formula. It definitely takes a while to see results, but results are worth it if you persevere. This product had me fresh out of final exams looking like a got a good night’s rest. The formula is smooth and hydrating, it...
Revive Eye Serum : Ginseng + Retinal
Sunscreen
You can’t speak sunscreen without mentioning BoJ. Such a great sunscreen, there’s honestly nothing bad to say about it. It keeps my skin glowy, hydrated, layers well with other products, sits clean under makeup. It does dry a little glassy, so if yo...
Beauty of Joseon Sunscreens
This is a greattt sunscreen, it’s so hydrating and moisturizing. Very watery texture and dries down glowy (but not too much). I also really love the biore aqua rich gel as well, it’s the same thing but dries down more matte because of the formula (so...
