The 14 Best Korean Beauty Products
of 2023 for Radiant, Glass Skin
Korea’s ancient beauty rituals have been passed down through generations, but their skin-first philosophy has remained the same. Korean skincare practices focus on treating common skin concerns, like dullness and acne, with effective, yet gentle, ingredients across a wide range of different products, rather than hiding imperfections with layers of makeup. Glass skin, the concept of super dewy, poreless skin, began in K-beauty, as did the ritual of double cleansing. Harnessing the power of ingredients, like snail mucin, matcha, and ginger, Korea’s skincare staples are highly effective, but gentle enough for even those with sensitive skin to use.
