Cleansers
I’m all about cleansers that actually do their job without irritating my skin. I’ve found a few gems this year that melt away makeup and grime while keeping my face calm, soft, and never stripped. These are my everyday essentials for starting fresh.
Lightweight, non-greasy, washes off easily. Great for sensitive/red skin. Spa-like calming feel. No eye stinging.
Madagascar Light Cleansing Oil
These feel more like toner pads than wipes. They’re so soft, fragrance-free, and actually hydrating. I use them when I’m too tired for a full routine or after the gym, and my skin always feels clean and refreshed, never stripped. They’ve totally chan...
ROUND LAB 1025 Dokdo Cleansing Tissue 178ml / 30 Wipes
I picked this up on a teammate’s recommendation, and wow, it quickly became a favorite. The foam is silky and soothing, and the heartleaf plus scinic acid combo helps calm redness and gently address breakouts. It smells subtly herbal and feels so hea...
Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam
The jelly consistency is ideal neither too runny nor too balmy. It's effective both for daily and travel use.
Makeup Re-Wined
Toners
Toners are my little skincare ritual something about patting in layers of hydration just makes me feel grounded. I look for formulas that calm and plump my skin, and I’ve fallen hard for a couple that give that lit-from-within glow every single time.
If I had to choose one toner pad to keep forever, it would be this one. The pad material is genius you can rip and mold it into a full DIY sheet mask. It instantly calms my skin, especially during flare-ups or dryness. The formula always leaves me fe...
Carrot Carotene Calming Water Pad
This toner is just chef’s kiss. It’s richer than a typical toner but lighter than a serum. When I apply it, it feels like my skin is getting wrapped in a soft, hydrating hug. No scent, no irritation just a lush, cushiony finish that’s perfect for all...
haruharu wonder - Black Rice Probiotics Barrier Essence
Super fine mist that adds glow and dewiness. Gorgeous packaging and a great skin finisher with makeup.
Birch Milk Refining Toner
My toner/primer! Best combo with Tirtir foundation!
Divine Water Perfecting Mist
Serums
This is where the magic happens. Serums are my favorite step because they truly transform my skin. Whether it’s brightening, smoothing, or calming, these picks have been total game-changers and ones I keep reaching for no matter what my skin is going...
This has been a staple for me. It’s hydrating, lightweight, and helps keep freckles and dark spots in check. No funky vitamin C smell either, it’s fragrance-free and gentle enough even during pregnancy.
Vitamin C Boosting Serum
I can’t believe more people don’t talk about this. It gives your skin that glazed, moisturized glass skin look without feeling greasy. I actually use it as a moisturizer because it’s that nourishing. If your skin ever feels dull or dehydrated, this r...
TIRTIR - Ceramic Milk Ampoule Jumbo
I’ve gone through multiple bottles of this. It gives you all the glow and anti-aging benefits of retinol, but without the irritation. Pores look tighter, skin is smoother, and it layers so well with other products. Perfect if you’re new to retinoids ...
VT - Cica Reti-A Essence 0.1
Milky, lightweight texture. Initially underestimated, now a staple. Derived from grapes and feels amazing on skin.
Resveratrol-Lift Instant Firming Serum | CAUDALIE®
An old favorite rediscovered. Packed with vitamins A, B, C, and K from peach extract gives skin a gorgeous glow.
Peach & Lily Glass Skin Refining Serum - Glass Skin Serum
Favorite acid for all skin types. Gently resurfaces, brightens, and smooths without stripping.
MANDELIK INTENSIVE RENEWAL SERUM 18% 15ML
I trust numbuzin products thus I know this will do what it says it will do. The texture is like the snail mucin. It is quite hydrating as well.
numbuzin - No.9 NAD Bio Lifting-sil Essence | YesStyle
Moisturizers
Moisturizers are my comfort blanket. I need something that deeply hydrates without clogging my pores or feeling too heavy and these ones just hit the spot. They’re soothing, effective, and keep my skin feeling balanced and happy all day.
It’s ultra-moisturizing and has little ceramide beads that melt into the skin. Even after the reformulation, it still feels luxurious and calming. We recommend it to everyone, especially if you have dry or sensitive skin.
ATOBARRIER365 Cream Moisturizer with Ceramides & Niacinamide for Skin Moisture Barrier Repair
I didn’t expect to love this so much, but it completely won me over. The texture is unique slightly stretchy, then water-bursting on the skin. It healed my breakout-prone, damaged skin when nothing else worked. Plus, it’s got brightening ingredients ...
VT - Glucamune Cream
Sunscreens
Sunscreen is non-negotiable for me, but I also want it to feel good on the skin. These picks are so lightweight, comfy, and makeup-friendly, I actually enjoy applying them. No white cast, no stickiness just solid protection that feels like skincare.
This has been my holy grail. Lightweight, slightly cooling, and works perfectly under makeup. It’s ideal for hot weather and doesn’t have any white cast or greasiness.
No.1 Clear Filter Sun Essence - numbuzin
This one doubles as a moisturizer in the summer. It’s super calming thanks to heartleaf extract and has a soft, natural glow without being shiny. I love how my skin looks more radiant as the day goes on.
Heartleaf Silky Moisture Mild Sunscreen
If the original rice sunscreen was too glowy for you, you need this version. It’s ultra-light, zero white cast, and sinks in like water. I reach for this when I want something that feels like I’m wearing nothing.
Beauty of Joseon - Relief Sun Aqua-fresh
This is the most fluid sunscreen I’ve ever used it just melts into the skin. Ideal for super hot days when you want something weightless but effective.
Isntree - Onion Fresh Fluid Sun Cream
The new packaging makes application easier. Blends easily into the skin, leaving a smooth, makeup-ready finish.
The Silk Sunscreen SPF 50
Masks
Masks are my treat-yourself moment. Whether I need hydration, calming, or a skin reset, these masks have been absolute favorites. I’ve fallen in love with hydrogel types especially they feel like a mini facial at home, and my skin always looks refres...
These are my current obsession. They feel so luxe and absorb all that goodness into your skin. They only take 40 minutes (way faster than Biodance), and your skin looks plump and dewy after. I especially love the blue brightening one and the sea-deri...
VT - Pro Cica Reedle Shot 100 2Step Hydrogel Mask
If you want to try something with salmon DNA, this one is so unique and effective. It hydrates, repairs, and feels so luxurious.
medicube - PDRN Pink Collagen Gel Mask
I tested tons, and these are still the best sheet masks. The serum, the fit, the hydration, everything’s perfect. My favorite is the vitamin C + glutathione one for brightening without irritation.
No.5+ Glutathione Vitamin Concentrated Mask Set
This is still my favorite clay mask. It’s softening, brightening, and never dries my skin out. I use it weekly to maintain that clear, even texture.
Beauty of Joseon - Red Bean Refreshing Pore Mask
Sleeping masks can be annoying but this one dries down completely and seals everything in overnight. You wake up with the smoothest, bounciest skin. It’s like a baby’s butt. Seriously.
medicube - Collagen Night Wrapping Mask
