Korean moisturizers are as gentle as they come and Torriden’s Dive-In gel-cream is our top pick in terms of lightweight, oil-free formulas — it’s bolstered by five types of hyaluronic acid of various molecular weights and panthenol to soothe skin. If you couldn’t tell, these Aestura and Illiyoon are powered by ceramides. Both brands are sensitive-skin-friendly, so go forth and slather these gentle, barrier-restoring formulas (from head to toe) to seal in moisture.
Without a plane ticket to Seoul, we don’t have access to all of South Korea’s innovative in-office treatments but Medicube has created a few skin-care devices that give off similar results. The Age-R Booster is a favorite of Hailey Bieber and creates electro-passageways to aid in product absorption, encouraging your skin to really drink up all of the goodness you’re applying. The Age-R Ussera Deep Shot is best suited for mature skin, according to the brand’s CEO, and employs ultrasound energy and high frequency to boost collagen production.
Best Amazon Prime Day 2023 Korean Makeup Deals
Consider this section your guide to the latest and great Korean makeup has to offer — at least, what’s made it over to amazon.com. The selection is pretty vast, though most people might not realize it goes beyond lip tints. Let’s dig in.
Lip tints are basically the pinnacle of Korean makeup and affordable at that, so you’d be making a mistake if you didn’t drop one (or five) into your cart. Peripera, Dasique, Amuse, and Hera are all editor favorites, and the latter brand has one special ambassador by the name of Jennie Kim (of BLACKPINK fame).
Eye shadow palettes from Amuse, Etude House, and Romn&d look like they came straight from a K-pop idol’s playbook. Whenever commerce editor Sarah Han wears Colorgram’s Milk Bling Shadow, she gets tons of compliments and questions. (She prefers wearing the formula on her lower lash line to balance out her eyeliner.) Plus, Neogen and Clio mascaras grab onto every last lash, so they’re ideal for short, straight lashes.
These gradients from Too Cool for School not only look stunning but also lend an ultra-natural sculpt or flush to the skin.
