Asian skincare staples: Korean Holy Grail products I use daily for clear skin
17
items For me, skincare is less about chasing trends and more about creating a daily ritual that feels grounding, minimal, and effective. I lean on Korean skincare because the focus is always on hydration, prevention, and balance — not overloading the skin....

Cleansing Oil / Make up removers & Cleansers
The first step to healthy skin is a clean canvas. I use gentle oil cleansers that melt away makeup and sunscreen without stripping my skin. They turn the “end of the day” into a small luxury moment. Afterwards, a second cleanse keeps my skin fresh an...
This cleansing exfoliator smells so divine, you just want to eat it! I haven't tried the other “scents” yet but i love this! I still would cleanse after, especially if you use waterproof mascara like me…
Arencia - Fresh Green Rice Mochi Cleanser | YesStyle
My holy grail of make up removers. This takes of absolutely everything on my face, including my waterproof eyelashes. I’ve repurchased at least 3 times already!
Anua - Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil
I've repurchased this several times now. One of my favourite all-time cleansers. It has small grainy bits that help with some exfoliation daily.
Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam Mini
I’ve been getting into the Centella products and they are super affordable and great for sensitive skin! Would highly recommend and be willing to explore more!
SKIN 1004 - Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam
Exfoliating / Toner Pads and Toner
These are my reset step. Korean and Japanese toners are often watery, soothing, and hydrating, while exfoliation pads give me a simple way to keep my skin clear and smooth without being harsh.
One of my two favourite and most used exfoliator pads! I use this 2-3 times a week every night for a deeper exfoliation. Leaves my skin bump free and soft!
NEOGEN - Dermalogy Bio-peel Gauze Peeling Wine
My favourite daily toner pad, I use it nearly every morning for a clear base and to brighten up my skin tone!
Goodal - Green Tangerine Vita-C Dark Spot Care Pad
This is a great toner for dry skin. It keeps me moisturised! There is also an option for oily skin too which has a slightly thicker consistency!
TIRTIR - Milk Skin Toner
Serums
This is where I target skin concerns — whether it’s hydration, glow, or calming sensitivity. I choose serums that layer well, absorb quickly, and don’t overwhelm my skin.
The best dark spot corrector serum that’s soooo affordable. This has helped clear up my scarring!
Anua - Niacinamide 10 TXA 4 Serum
Another staple in my daily routine! It helps to keep my skin moisturised before I put on any make up! Simply the best!
Torriden DIVE IN Hyaluronic Acid Serum 50ml
I keep this product in the fridge as it can easily oxidise. It’s one of the best Vit C serums I’ve used to date!
Dr. Althea - Vitamin C Boosting Serum
Moisturisers
The step that seals everything in. I look for lightweight but deeply hydrating formulas that keep my skin soft, plump, and comfortable all day (or night).
Don’t be fooled by the name! It’s such a great lightweight moisturiser that packs a punch! Can be used daily - my husband loves this!
COSRX - Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Cream
I’ve been using this recently - it’s been super lightweight and non irritable for my sensitive skin! I use this during the day for its consistency!
Dr. Althea - 345 Relief Cream
Pimpe / Acne Treatment
This is my saviour when I have a large pimple or even a small one. Pop this on overnight or during the day if you're at home to stop picking/touching at it and let it go away on it'sown!
COSRX - Acne Pimple Master Patch
This patch can be used underneath make up or if you want to go out. It's soooo thin and blends very well on the skin! A must have in your bathroom!
COSRX - Clear Fit Master Patch
Sunscreens
The most important step in any routine. Japanese and Korean sunscreens are my favorite because they’re silky, non-greasy, and easy to wear every single day. They’re the reason my skin feels protected, calm, and balanced.
This milky sunscreen has been a staple for years. It does leave a slight white overcast but it also somewhat acts like a primer before make up!
Shiseido - Anessa Perfect UV Sunscreen Skincare Milk SPF 50+ PA++++
A new recent add to my collection - this is a very affordable sunscreen that feels so good on the skin. Non greasy and lightweight!
SKIN 1004 - Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum
This cushion is great for when you’re out in the water and need to touch up your sunscreen! It’s got unbelievable staying powder, so would recommend for a summer trip!
ELROEL - Pang Pang Sun Cushion UV Shield
