Over the years, South Korea has provided us with world’s of knowledge on the newest and best upcoming beauty products we now couldn’t live without! Although it can be daunting buying products from miles across the globe, there is no need to fear, SoKo knows exactly what they are doing when it comes to beauty, trust us! Here are the best 20 Korean beauty products you need to try!
We have all seen the hype with charcoal face masks all over our favourite beauty blogs, Insta-famous-gal feeds and pretty much sold at everyone retail shop right now! It’s a bandwagon we all want to jump on, because, well, we all want that drop-dead-flawless skin don’t we? However, the hunt is over, this product is not only just a regular charcoal face mask… MeMe Clay Mask deeply cleanses pores, flushes out those bad toxins, removes dead skin and blackheads and provides jojoba oil to also help moisturise our skin – hello again teenage skin! And the best part…this clay mask bubbles as it oxidises…how fun!
Khloe Kardashian voice ‘Oh KKKKKKrrrr’. This product will get you saying that once you see the results on your feet! As we finally say goodbye to those colder days we also want to say goodbye to our cracked, dry and sore feet. And as it comes closer to flipflop weather now is the perfect time to get our feet looking better than ever. Oh K! helps rejuvenate those tired feet, rids the dry skin and exfoliates ready for new and fresh skin to grow back. You get to wear them like two socks and await your baby smooth feet to make a comeback!
When it comes to Korean beauty, nothing seems out of the ordinary! This Egg Pore steam balm is the future in a bottle… we all have those stubborn blackheads that we just can’t seem to get rid off, right? Well this product is designed to extract those little buggers by its advanced self-heating technology! Nifty right!? The product includes vitamin E, sea salt extracts and charcoal powder to help moisturise the skin at the same time – win win.
No, no, no this is unfortunately not a red velvet cake that turns back years and gives us goddess skin – if only – but it is a red clay sponge that massages and rejuvenates our skin, so you decide what is better. This little product may not look like much, but it does wonders for our skin. It de-clogs pores and build-up we tend to gather on our face we don’t always see.
If you are looking for a BB cream this one is the one to snatch up! If you didn’t already know, Korea was the birthplace for the innovative and life-changing BB cream… so if you’re on the hunt for the best BB cream why wouldn’t you go to the creator’s themselves? A BB cream that smooths out under-eyes while covering discolouration and dark circles. This is one of the Korean beauty products that gives hydration to your face with a healthy glow.
This groovy looking bottle is exactly what it looks like – a pure and all natural aloe vera gel. Aloe vera is full of hydration and great supplements that our skin love! If your skin doesn’t have that natural glow we all wish we had, this little gem will be your knight in shining armour! Hello gloriously glowing skin.
This is not one of your regular face masks, because after all, it’s a Korean-made product so we don’t expect anything less! It is essentially a face mask that helps lift dull skin and enhance the natural contours of our face which is encouraged by the advanced rubber technology. The serum includes salicylic acid that is known to fight against acne and spots! Yay!
There is no denying Korea has some of the best packaging goals ever, that essentially suck us into buying them. We see anything somewhat related to animations, cartoons or animals and we feel we possibly cannot live without that product in our lives – please tell me I am not alone here?! This product is adorably cute, yes, however it’s cuddly panda design isn’t the only reason we love it…this product helps reduce puffy eyes and makes our under-eyes bright and hydrated! This is one of the Korean beauty products that comes in adorable packaging.
We are always on the search for that loose setting powder that can blur away all our imperfections and pores, and this is finally the answer to our prayers! A powder that sets our foundation into place, disguises texture and makes our skin silky-smooth.
Don’t be fooled, this is not a drinkable tea… I repeat this is not drinkable! Although I am sure we can all agree this looks deliciously good for our insides, this product actually works better for the outside. With real green tea leaves and extracts this incredible cleanser exfoliates the skin and removes those unwanted dead skin cells – bye Felicia…
Although these saving grace eye masks looks exactly like sliced oranges, don’t be fooled – they are not! Finding the time and money to visit a spa can be difficult, but with these innovative eye pads you can bring the spa to your home! What’s better than Netflix and an at home spa anyway?
This mascara is dedicated to those who are looking for defined, elongated and thicker lashes – aka pretty much everyone. This product is easy to use and with its small head it means we can reach root to tip of every lash! This is one of the Korean beauty products that gives your lashes volume and is long-lasting.
We have all see the Insta gals promoting lip masks but never really knowing what they do, which ones to choose and where to go for them right? Well, drum role please… this is the one you need! This lip patch is super comfy to wear, hydrates your lips and plumps them to the max! This is one of the Korean beauty products that you will love to give your lips a plumper look.
Yes this is exactly what it looks like… a face product that includes whipped egg mousse, and guess what? It works wonders for our skin, who would have thought? This product seeps deep into our pores and fine lines and extracts those nitty gritty dirt that usual skin cleanses can’t reach!
Forget Kylie Jenner and KKW, Korean are the real Queen’s when it comes to Matte lips! An ultra pigmented and creamy lip crayon gives us those in-trend matte lips even Kimmy K would be jealous off! This is one of the Korean beauty products that will give you a pop of colour.
We are ready for that glowing and radiant skin ahead of the summer season, but finding the right products can be quite a chore (and very expensive). Lo and behold this face mask is everything we have dreamt off! With Saccharomyces, Ectoine and Beta Glucan, it helps illuminate our dull and tired skin so we look as though we’ve visited a spa, had a 12-hour sleep and got back from a meditation retreat in Fiji.
If you think you’ve seen it all wait until you see this… One of Korea’s most famous innovative beauty product: the blackhead inhibitors. Although they look somewhat like mini marshmallows, these nifty sponges are fabulous at removing dead and dry skin, extracting white and black heads and have proven efficacy. These give immediate results and are super easy and effective!
These are not coffee capsules, or food flavourings, although admittedly, they look a lot like either! And although they are called the superfood lentils – it isn’t to improve our digestion, but instead created to improve our skin! This face mask minimises the size of pores and encourages the elasticity in our skin to firm and tighten.
Surprise surprise, Korea has gone and done it again! Giving us another great and life-changing BB cream we will never look back on regular BB creams again. Simply mix with our favourite moisturisers to add subtle coverage and a more natural and hydrated glow we could all do with now and then, right?
This adorable handy-bag product is for something we have a tendency to neglect when it comes to the skin: our hands. This product looks super cute yes, but it is highly beneficial for the things we are constantly using. Did you know our hands are one of the first things to give away our age? It’s time to get maintaining our paws sooner than later. It contains milk protein and banana extracts to create soft and plump hands. This is one of the Korean beauty products that is kitschy and cute.
