Top 5 Recommended Korean Beauty Products

1. Nature Republic Aloe Vera Gel

Nature Republic is one of the most common brands when it comes to K-beauty products. This aloe vera gel has a soothing effect while it moisturizes your skin at the same time. It contains 92% aloe vera extracts and is also approved and certified by the Californian CCDF, and is organic.

The gel is mildly scented if that affects you however, it  hydrates the skin, and is suitable for all skin types, so you don’t need to worry if it is compatible with your skin type.

2. Mamonde Petal Spa Cleansing Balm

This petal cleanser is a one-stop-shop beauty must-have for removing makeup while cleansing your skin, without having to strip your skin of its moisture. I am an avid advocate of “don’t use wipes to remove makeup” and would recommend using a cleansing oil or cleansing balm, like this one.

It has a silky texture and an oil-based formula which is very lightweight. It starts out as a silky oil that then foams, emulsifying and removing dirt and particles, cleanses the skin without being harsh, and also has a very nice natural fragrance. It works just great with sensitive skin, and most other skin types.

3. Mediheal N.M.F Intensive Hydrating Sheet Mask

This hydrating sheet mask is a common pick in Seoul, and the Mediheal N.M.F makes some of the best hydrating masks there is. It is available in most stores that stock sheet masks, and contains ammonia acids, hyaluronic acid-soaked sheets that moisturizes and transforms dry and flaky skin to soft and hydrated skin. It also contains witch hazel which is a very good toner and also helps to exfoliate the skin.

4. Sulwahsoo Concentrated Ginseng Cream and Perfecting Cushion

Consider this a bonus with two different products from one brand. Sulwahsoo is a very popular brand and its products can also be found in the United States. The concentrated ginseng cream is considered to be one of the best face creams and contains root extracts, six-year-old ginseng berries, and is also formulated with other herbs. It has anti-aging properties, and aids in stem cell regeneration, and this is the cream to consider for smooth and flawless skin.

The Perfecting Cushion falls under their makeup product line and is definitely worth the try. It contains SPF 50, nourishing honey, brightening niacinamide, is dewy, and gives full coverage while also being lightweight.

The Sulwahsoo products are a bit on the high side in terms of pricing, but they are certainly worth every penny spent.

5. Klaris Midnight Blue Calming Cream

Klaris is also another popular household brand with a variety of products that help to soothe the skin and moisturize as well. The Midnight Blue Calming Cream soothes irritated skin, sun exposure, hydrates, and reduces redness.

It contains chamomile oil responsible for the cool blue hue, and Centella which helps to ease irritation and redness while hydrating the skin. A thin layer is all you need to boost moisture overnight which is absorbed straight into the skin. They also have the Rich Moist Soothing Cream which performs similar functions and reduces the appearance of pores.

These are some of the best hand-picked Korean beauty products out there to help you achieve that glassy flawless looking skin you see them having. Some of the products are a bit pricey, but most are very affordable, and all are certainly worth the spend.
