28 Beauty Products Reviewers Are Deeply Committed To
A SeoulCeuticals toner mist that's like hitting your skin with a tall glass of spa water. It's packed with cucumber extract, marine minerals, and aloe to help calm redness, hydrate deeply, and keep acne at bay. It's lightweight and soothing, so you may let out a deep "ahhh" as you spritz this on. Plus, your skin will look dewy and ~radiant~. A Mise En Scene lightweight hair serum, which deeply nourishes and hydrates damaged hair thanks to a combination of camelia, jojoba, and olive oils. Your locks will look silkier, feel softer, and smell amazing! A satin-finish TirTir cushion foundation that's like magic because it's brightening and does not settle into fine lines or wrinkles. It lasts up to a whopping 72 hours and blends easily into your skin to hide blemishes, under-eye bags, and redness. Plus, it's buildable, so that means you can rock a natural *or* full glam look. Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up eye gel with caffeine to help reduce eye puffiness, yerba mate to brighten skin, and three types of hyaluronic acid to help plump and firm. One reviewer likes this *more* than The Ordinary's caffeine eye gel because it's more moisturizing! Or Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener that's like a little magic wand for tired eyes — the color correcting formula works across all skin tones to help neutralize dark circles and instantly brighten up your under eye area. Say goodbye to looking exhausted and hello to looking wide-awake in seconds. A self-tanner so you can get a sun-kissed glow that looks so good, people will think your tan came STRAIGHT from Aruba — even though it came from this mousse. It has *no* horrible scent (aka you won't smell like a wet dog), and it takes just one hour to develop an even (!!) tan. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel to "melt off" tough, dead calluses to reveal softer, more supple skin, especially if you were a little hard on your feet or wore overly tight shoes. It delivers results so good, you may just prefer it over the treatments you get at the salon. And Dermora's foot exfoliation mask if you have cracked heels, calluses, or dead skin all over the bottoms of your feet. So just slip on these booties for an hour and watch your feet shed within the next 6-11 days. You'll be GAGGED at how much skin comes off, but you'll be equally satisfied with your baby smooth feet. An EOS Vanilla Cashmere shea butter body lotion designed to deliver lightweight and long-lasting moisture (24 hours to be ~exact~) without that horrible greasy feeling other moisturizers can leave behind. Your skin will not only feel super smooth, but it'll also smell like heaven on earth (aka cupcakes). A light, nonsticky Touch in Sol No Poreblem primer so you can create a makeup look so smooth and skin-like that people will ask, "What are you using?" They might assume you're a magic elixir, because those pores? Minimized. Sebum? Controlled. Skin? Silky smooth. Your makeup looks are sure to turn up a notch with this! And a tube of Elizabeth Mott Thank Me Later eyelid primer, it can grip your eyeshadow even more effectively than Fairy Godmother's wand, because it'll last way past midnight. Your eyeshadow will be shine-, crease, and oil-free, so you don't have to worry about touching up your perfect look!

Reviewers are "impressed" with how this works because it's lightweight, absorbs instantly, and delivers solid results. A pack of two dark spot corrector soap bars formulated with powerhouse ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, and turmeric to help hyperpigmentation disappear — just check out this reviewer who made her dark spot of 20 years *poof* into existence. And the shea butter, olive oil, and hyaluronic acid mean your skin won't be left feeling dry or stripped. Cosrx Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence — its star ingredient, snail mucin, might sound like it belongs in a witch's cauldron, but it actually can help hydrate skin, heal acne, and smooth the appearance of fine lines on all skin types. People of *all* ages love this — so when you finally get in on one of the most viral skincare products out there, you'll be equal parts impressed and annoyed you didn't get this sooner. Kerasal's multipurpose nail repair solution that'll help treat fungus, cracks, and even nail psoriasis. It works to reduce discoloration and thickness while hydrating and exfoliating brittle-looking nails so they look (and feel) healthier overall. It's not an instant fix, but with consistent use, it does deliver noticeable results. Just apply it with the built-in applicator twice a day for the first week, then once daily after that — and let the ~glow-up~ begin. Essence Lash Princess mascara so you can instantly lengthen and volumize your lashes with its cone-shaped fiber brush (without annoying clumps or globs), so you'll feel like a falsies expert without overworking yourself. It's also super affordable, so this may be your new go-to! A Briotech spray with hypochlorous acid, an antibacterial ingredient that can help reduce inflammation, redness, and irritation. Spritz this on your face as needed (like after a workout!) to help target acne-causing bacteria and soothe skin. It's often compared to the Tower 28 SOS Spray, which is pricier (and has the same key ingredient!). An I Dew Care mattifying dry shampoo powder that'll fool everyone into thinking you just showered today because that hair? It's looking more voluminous with not one hint of greasiness. Just dab this ultra-fine powder into your roots, shake out the product, and style — then you're done! Retinol body lotion to help skin appear tighter and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and sun damage. With consistent use, it helped reviewers with the appearance of textured skin on their upper arms and legs. An illuminating L'Oreal moisturizer for a glow that easily rivals the infamous Drunk Elephant's bronzing drops. It's designed to be worn alone, under foundation, or use it as a highlighter on your cheekbones! You may end up liking this *more* than Drunk Elephant because it's less glittery. A Wonderskin lip stain that goes on blue but leaves behind the prettiest rosy tint — and yep, it's totally waterproof and smudgeproof. Just swipe it on, wait 10-30 seconds, then wipe it off with a damp tissue to reveal a long-lasting flush. You can use it in place of lip liner since it doesn't budge and outlasts those pricey pencils. Fewer touch-ups and more money in your pocket? Yes, please. A sensitive-skin friendly Shea Moisture body wash made with 100% virgin coconut oil that smells like a little vacay to somewhere tropical. It'll have you feeling clean, smooth, and moisturized all day long! An internet-famous VieBeauti eyelash growth serum packed with peptides and ginseng to help you grow fuller, longer-looking lashes in as little as four weeks. It's basically a lash lift in a tube, minus the appointment and price tag. It's gentle enough for sensitive eyes and even comes in a brow booster formula, too! A Kitsch satin heatless curling set so you can wake up to gorgeous curls without the damage that can come from using hot styling tools. Plus, doing your hair won't take as long — which is a must when you wake up and don't feel like getting out of bed. An Anua pore-clearing cleansing oil to help control sebum, remove blackheads *and* dissolve makeup — some people are even left with visible residue on their fingertips! If you want to start double cleansing, this is the perfect first step. An Elizavecca collagen-coating hair mask for damaged hair from hot styling tools or over-processing from harsh treatments like bleach. Reviewers say it helps their hair feel stronger, softer, and less tangled, with an immediate difference. One person even went as far as to say that it's "Better than Olaplex." 😱 A Londontown nail concealer designed to help the appearance of dull and discolored nails so you can leave that expensive manicure habit behind — and still have radiant-looking nails! This polish is sheer, buildable, and comes in five different neutral shades.

16 Game-Changing Korean Skincare Tips You're Totally Missing Out On
To break down makeup, sunscreen, and excess oil, try the double cleansing method. Start with an oil cleanser: Pump a few drops into your dry hands, then gently massage it all over your dry face. Don't forget those tricky areas like around your nose and hairline! After a minute of massaging, add some lukewarm water to emulsify the oil, which will help get all the dirt and gunk out of your pores. Anua is a big hit in Korea, all thanks to their star ingredient: heartleaf extract. This magical plant is packed into many of their products and famous for soothing irritated skin and calming review: "BEST OIL CLEANSER I SWEAR. I've gone through 3–4 bottles now and it continues to cleanse my skin AMAZING. It melts makeup and clears pores. Honestly, it's heaven-sent. The first time I used it, it cleared a lot of my sebum, and even now, when I use it, it clears any dead skin and dirt I have, even when I don't wear makeup. BUY IT, it's amazing. You can see all the dirt that came out of my face recently in the photo [above, right]." —rexichorGet the Anua heartleaf cleansing oil from Amazon for $17.69. The next step in the double-cleansing method: Follow up with a water-based cleanser after using your oil cleanser to ensure any remaining impurities are removed. A gentle, hydrating foaming cleanser or gel will work nicely here! Splash some water on your face, apply the cleanser, lather it up, and rinse it off. Your skin should feel *clean* but not stripped! The Anua foaming cleanser is one of my go-to picks in my skincare lineup. I love using it at night because it really gets rid of all the dirt, oil, and makeup I've picked up throughout the day. If you're worried about foaming cleansers being too drying, especially if you have dry skin like me, don't worry! This one leaves your skin feeling clean but not tight or uncomfortable. I even got my boyfriend to try it out, and now it's the only face wash he'll them from Amazon: the Anua foaming cleanser for $13 and the Cosrx gel cleanser for $14. Toners help to balance your skin's pH and prep it for the next steps. You can use an exfoliating toner to help control excess sebum while exfoliating dead skin and refining pores. And follow that up with a more hydrating or soothing option to bring moisture back to your skin. Get them from Amazon: the Medicube "zero pore" pads for $17.90, the TirTir milk toner for $19.99 (available in two styles and three sizes), and the Anua Heartleaf toner for $19.69 (available in two sizes). The skin around your eyes is delicate and benefits from special care! Use an eye cream that targets any specific concerns, like puffiness or dark circles. Dab a tiny amount under your eyes and on your eyelids, then blend it using your ring finger — it's the gentlest and will help you avoid tugging at that delicate skin! Promising review: "Works better than any eye cream!! This eye cream makes my eyes so soft; it has this luxurious feel that is better than any high-end product I have tried, and for the cost? This stuff is unbelievable. I tried Ogee and all sorts of products that people swear by, but this one keeps my eyes hydrated and soft all night and lasts until the next day. It also isn't greasy, which I love. Since it has retinol, I only put it on at night. I love this product! You can feel and see a difference after one use." —AJGet the Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum in a pack of two from Amazon for $26.58. Serums are packed with potent ingredients tailored to tackle distinct skin needs, whether that's hydrating, brightening, or repairing the skin's barrier. Depending on the formula, just a few drops can work wonders. Look for key ingredients like hyaluronic acid for moisture, vitamin C for radiance, or ceramides for barrier support. Get them from Amazon: The Torriden Dive In serum for $22.52, the Goodal vitamin C serum for $21, and the Anua rice ceramide serum for $17. While we're talking serums: To maximize the benefits, avoid layering too many at once. Focus on one or two targeting your main concerns, and allow each product to *fully* absorb before applying the next to prevent pilling! It's also a good idea to separate your serums into an a.m. routine (like vitamin C for protection) and a p.m. routine (such as retinol for overnight rejuvenation). When it comes to layering your skincare, start with the lightest, most fluid products — like serums and ampoules — because this will allow them to penetrate the skin and deliver their active ingredients right where they're needed. Once those have absorbed, you can move on to thicker products like lotions and creams, which help lock in all that goodness. Snail mucin is a superstar ingredient that's been stealing the spotlight in Korean skincare. It's known for its incredible hydrating properties, making it a secret weapon for plumped and dewy skin. It also helps enhance the absorption of your other products, making them more effective. You can use it all over your face *or* you can concentrate it on drier areas. This Cosrx snail mucin essence went viral on TikTok, and it has tens of thousands of 5-star ratings backing it up! Apply your snail mucin essence after cleansing and toning (but before your serums and moisturizer) to provide an extra layer of moisture and nutrients to your skin!BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord is obsessed with it: "I use this on my skin and definitely have noticed results! While it didn't help completely kick my stubborn pre-period hormonal acne, it has done *wonders* with reducing redness on my face, particularly around my nose, and in dealing with my pores. Since I started using it, my primer and foundation goes on a whole lot smoother, and I'm struggling a whole lot less to cover my pores. After using it a few weeks, I read the advice of one reviewer to put this on when your face is slightly moist from washing, rub it in, let it dry, and then put your moisturizer on top of it — I've found that it's what got me the best results!" Get the Cosrx snail mucin power essence from Amazon for $25. Indulging in a face mask 1–2 times a week is like giving your skin a little self-care treat, delivering that much-needed nourishment and targeted treatment. Masks are super fun to apply and come in so many versions, but the most common ones are sheets, clay, and gel. Just choose one that aligns with your skin goals — be it brightening, hydrating, or calming redness — and follow the instructions. It's not just about the glow; it's about the moment of zen you gift yourself in the process! My favorite face mask I've been using recently is the Medicube Overnight Wrapping mask. Once you've done your whole skincare routine and apply this on, it dries into this cool thin layer that keeps your $$$ skincare products from smudging off on your pillow while you sleep. Come morning, you just peel it off (so satisfying, trust me!) and ta-da — your skin is left feeling all juicy and them from Amazon: the VT Cosmetics cica soothing mask for $17.79, the Elizavecca carbonated clay mask for $9.80, the Skin1004 Zombie treatment mask for $18.50, and the Medicube overnight wrapping mask for $18.90. Use a moisturizer to lock in all the goodness from the previous steps. Go for something lightweight if you're oily, or a richer cream if your skin's on the drier side. Use a dollop and massage it into your skin in upward motions. Feel that moisture soaking in! I've spent a lot of time curating my skincare routine, and this vitamin C gel/cream has rightfully earned its spot. I use it in the morning, and it gives me that glass skin glow all day long. A little goes a VERY long way; I would say I only apply one, *maaaybe* two boba beads for my whole face. I also like to use my Medicube Booster Pro in the Derma Shot mode to help the product fully absorb and get that extra snatched them from Amazon: the Round Lab Birch Juice moisturizer for $29 and the Medicube Deep Vita C Capsule Cream (pictured above!) for $17. Applying sunscreen in the morning is super important for protecting your skin from UV rays and preventing damage. Look for SPF 30 or higher, and make sure it's suitable for your skin type. After your moisturizer, apply a generous amount all over your face. Don't forget your neck and any exposed areas! Sunscreen is crucial for everyone, but within the realm of Korean skincare, it truly stands out as a shining star! Culturally, sun protection is regarded as a vital component of beauty routines, and Korean sunscreens are making waves globally due to their lightweight, non-greasy formulas along with added skincare benefits such as hydration and soothing American Academy of Dermatology recommends wearing a daily sunscreen with broad-spectrum protection (aka it protects against UVA and UVB rays) and at least SPF 30. This Innisfree daily sunscreen fits the bill with broad spectrum SPF 36 *and* it doesn't leave a white cast! 🙌🏽 For a waterproof option, try this AP Sun Cream. Promising review: "I LOVE this product, I swear by it and I'm pretty sure this is my third or fourth time purchasing it! As a woman of color, finding a sunscreen that didn't give me a white cast / ashy finish was very hard, so I am so glad I've come across this product ! It goes on the skin so smoothly. I apply moisturizer first, then the sunscreen and have no trouble spreading a little over my entire face! I seriously don't leave the house without this; I keep it on me at all times! It gives you a glow and makes skin feel so much softer. I also feel like some of my dark spots have faded due to this product! Also I have VERY sensitive skin, so everything breaks me out, but this has not!" —Sierra KeyesGet the Innisfree Daily UV Sunscreen from Amazon for $18+ (available in two sizes). You can also use these special peptide patches on top of your sunscreen for extra protection. They block 98% of UV rays from reaching your delicate under-eyes thanks to their UPF 50+ rating, *plus* they're packed with hydrating and brightening peptides to give your skin that extra oomph. They're so thin and clear, they practically disappear on your skin, and they're water- and sweat resistant. The UPF 50+ rating is the same one that's used for sun protection clothing. You can read more about UPF, why it matters, and how it's different from SPF on the Skin Cancer Foundation review: "I purchased this product for sun protection while golfing, and I love it. The patches are invisible on your skin and feel super lightweight. They also lasts all day, even when you're out in the sun and sweating. If you're looking for extra sun protection, I highly recommend you get these patches!" —Amazon CustomerGet five pairs of Franz UV patches from Amazon for $19.95. One of my favorite tricks for keeping my skin feeling fresh and hydrated all day long is to spritz on a facial mist. It's such an easy way to give yourself a little pick-me-up whenever you need it! Plus, it doubles as a setting spray, so you can use it over your makeup to keep everything in place while adding a dewy glow. Promising review: "I love this product as a first step in my skincare routine before applying other serums. It has a nice light smell and provides a little touch of moisture. It is a good value for the money, and the bottle lasts a long time after daily use. Also love it for a little refresh throughout the day when you're feeling dry. Have continued to repurchase!" —Michelle the D'alba truffle spray serum from Amazon for $20+ (available in two sizes). If you want to feel like you just left a Korean skin clinic without having to hop on a flight, the Medicube Age-R Booster Pro is worth the splurge. This device features four different treatments, all powered by LED light therapy, that can exfoliate, tighten, boost the efficacy of your other products, and rejuvenate your skin. One cool feature is that it announces the minutes as you're using it to ensure you don't overuse it in one spot. It also doesn't take long to see noticeable results, unlike some other facial devices or those time-consuming in-person clinic visits. It's recommended to use the Air Shot mode 2–3 times a week. The other modes — Booster, MC (microcurrent), and Derma Shot — can be used 1–3 times daily.I own the Medicube Age-R Booster Pro and it is definitely worth the splurge! When I first started using this device I had a dark mark from a pimple on my cheek, but with consistent use of this device, it faded in under a week (wish I had taken those before and after pics!). Overall, it didn't take long to notice that my face was visibly brighter and lifted. Although I've slacked a bit lately (oops, guilty of being lazy 😅), I've definitely seen the difference when I'm diligent with review: "This is a magic wand! I just received it yesterday and only used it three times for a very short time but I'm telling you my skin is tighter. I can FEEL it's tighter. The deep lines between my brows are vanishing before my eyes. I'm using my regular serum bakuchiol oil & typology L42 moisturizer plus I got the collagen jelly they make. I've only used the jelly twice with it. My smile lines are less pronounced and my skin is def glass…. MAGIC I say." —Beverly KleinGet the Medicube Age-R Booster Pro from Amazon for $187.68. Exfoliate your body 2–4 times a month using a Korean scrub mitt to transform your skin into something truly velvety soft. Perfect for pre- and post-shaving, this magical mitt helps reduce ingrown hairs and trapped follicles. Plus, it's a game changer for removing spray tan. Just remember, this little wonder is for your body, not your face! Reviewers also say it can help with managing keratosis pilaris (KP).Promising review: "Hands down the best shower mitt on the market! It has really helped with my dry skin, reduced ingrown hairs after shaving, and leaves skin baby soft." —Amazon CustomerGet a single exfoliating mitt from Amazon for $10.99 or a pair for $14.99. Remember, consistency is key. Try to stick to your daily routine and be patient; great skin takes time! Pay attention to your skin and introduce new products slowly — if something irritates you, stop using it right away. Stay hydrated and drink plenty of water because glowing skin also starts within! 💦✨ And (most importantly) have fun, and enjoy the process. Skincare should feel like a treat, not a chore!
