Korean beauty is taking over the world and we’re cheering it on, taking any chance we’re given to hop from the sidelines into the game. A lot of American skincare tends to be harsh on the skin, with too big a focus on stripping skin with harsh chemicals and over-exfoliation. K-beauty is more about nourishing skin, treating it gently so we can achieve a glassy, cloudless dewiness that will last for decades to come!
As Korean beauty blows up globally, more and more retailers are starting to stock it, and Dermstore is currently offering some of the best skincare products K-beauty has to offer. Here are five of our favorite picks we think will convince anyone that K-beauty isn’t just a trend!
COSRX One Step Original Clear Pad
COSRX is a hugely popular K-beauty brand. It not only combines cosmetics and the science of medicine (hence its name), but it does so at an incredibly affordable price point! These one-step, anti-acne pads, are perfect for when we’re feeling too lazy to get through our entire 10-step routine, though we can stick it in there, too! It claims to chemically exfoliate with BHA while also moisturizing with hyaluronic acid, and shoppers are saying it has “significantly decreased” their breakouts and “exceeded [their] expectations!”

Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Toner
Toning is an essential step in skincare, as it helps to keep our pH level balanced after cleansing. This toner comes from Klairs’ eco-friendly skincare line. It claims to be non-irritating, featuring soothing aloe vera, while also claiming to diminish age spots and calm inflammation with licorice root extract and centella asiatica extract! Looking to get the most out of a toner? Try the seven-skin method. Pat toner onto face, and then repeat six more times! Watch as skin transforms!

My Skin Mentor Dr. G Daily Safe BB SPF 30 PA++
Suncare is one of the most important aspects of skincare, so it’s always smart to find a BB cream or foundation with SPF to wear on top of our sunscreen! This one comes in a sleek silver tube and is formulated to prevent skin from facing the irritation that SPF can cause. It features essential oils and flower extracts to moisturize skin while creating a smooth, lightweight base for the rest of our makeup. Shoppers are calling it “the best thing” to ever grace their sensitive skin!

SK-II Facial Treatment Essence
This essence is a holy grail for countless skincare lovers, and no matter how many companies try to produce dupes, nothing will ever beat the real thing. It features a 90% Pitera formula, which claims to renew through gentle exfoliation and oil-free hydration. One shopper said that after just one use, the texture of their skin improved, and another said they’re “in love” and already planning to buy a larger bottle next time!

3LAB M Cream
This “de-stressing” cream claims to target wrinkles and aging skin using the world’s first bioengineered growth hormone along with stem cells from Uttweiler Spatlauber Swiss apples. Can you say “fancy?” With over 330 reviews, we’re also going to be saying “wow” when we see our skin after using it! Shoppers are loving this “upscale and unique” product, saying its “silky feel” will leave us with an otherworldly glow!
