Best Korean Skin-Care Cyber Monday Deals
Cosrx
Cosrx needs no introduction. This Korean skin-care brand is home to the TikTok-viral Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence, which is amazing for boosting moisture and tackling hyperpigmentation, as well as the classic Acne Pimple Patches. The brand also offers a serum for just about any skin-care concern imaginable, including dullness, hyperpigmentation, and dryness.
Anua
Anua’s toners aren’t hyped up for no reason. Heartleaf is a soothing ingredient that should be in your skin-care routine. It has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties that minimize redness, irritation, and even the appearance of large pores.
Medicube
When a skin-care device is Hailey Bieber-approved, you don’t ask questions. If you want to achieve glazed donut skin, these Medicube devices will help you do just that by creating microscopic passages that allow your skin-care products to absorb more efficiently and deeply. In-office treatments, who?
Goodal
Vitamin C is one of our favorite skin-care ingredients for a myriad of reasons — namely, it brightens dark spots, offsets UV damage and air pollution, and helps repair damaged skin cells. It doesn’t come as a surprise that Goodal’s most famous collection is the Green Tangerine line and the most popular product is the Vita C Dark Spot Serum, which is packed with 70% green tangerine extract, 4% niacinamide, and arbutin.
Iope
Iope Retinol Expert 0.1% won a 2023 Best of Beauty Award because it simply works. A team of pure retinol, panthenol, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and shea butter smoothes fine lines without irritating your skin. Each tube is also equipped with a three-stage oxygen barrier system to prevent the retinol from oxidizing. The Retinol Super Bounce Serum is formulated with four types of retinol (pure retinol, encapsulated retinol, granactive retinoid, and Bio-Seletinoid) to promote a more lifted complexion.
Innisfree
Innisfree’s Daily UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 36 earned a 2023 Best of Beauty Award, so we can’t recommend it enough. For skin-quenching hydration, get the Green Tea Seed Hyaluronic Acid serum. For all orders under $100, you automatically get 25% off sitewide. If you go over $100, that discount increases to 30%. Oh, and no matter how much you spend, you receive free gifts.
Torriden
If your skin is craving extra hydration, we’ve got a few recommendations that should be right up your alley. Both Torriden’s Dive-In Low-Molecular Hyaluronic Acid Serum and Cream are infused with five types of hyaluronic acid, panthenol, and allantoin to draw in moisture and soothe skin. They’re both fragrance-free and super lightweight in texture.
Haruharu Wonder
Haruharu Wonder’s most popular products are spiked with fermented black rice, which does a fantastic job of driving intense moisture into the skin. So whether you’re looking for a new toner, sunscreen, or eye cream, bet on black rice to leave your skin feeling good.
Skin1004
Skin1004’s sunscreen serum has gone TikTok-viral and for good reason — this cast-free formula melts into the skin and keeps it hydrated all day long. But don’t sleep on the rest of the brand’s nourishing treatments, including the Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil — which dissolves makeup and dirt and soothes skin, thanks to the addition of cica.
I’m From
Soothing is the name of the game when it comes to I’m From products. Quench your skin’s thirst with these post-cleansing hydrators featuring Goami rice extract or mugwort, both sourced from Korea.
Etude House
We’re not bluffing when we say Etude House’s SoonJung line — which spans cleansers, essences, and moisturizers — is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, damaged, and easily irritated skin. The reason why? This fragrance-free collection is chock-full of soothing, barrier-repairing ingredients such as panthenol and madecassoside. In the realm of sunscreen, Sunprise Mild Airy Finish Sun Milk is a fluid formula that provides a glowy base pre-makeup or worn alone.
Klairs
Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Cream is about to be your wintertime BFF. One layer of this silky formula — stuffed with yeast-derived beta glucan, jojoba oil, and ceramides — strengthens your barrier and minimizes dryness. Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Charging Serum is the latest iteration of the popular Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop. This serum contains 10% 3-0-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid to minimize the look of dark spots and hyperpigmentation, as well as niacinamide to smooth skin texture.
Mixsoon
If you haven’t heard of Mixsoon and have sensitive skin, you’re here for a good time. Start off with Mixsoon’s Soony Centella Asiatica Essence, a lightweight fluid that’s spiked with cica to calm redness and irritation. Also, how cute is that packaging? Enriched with fermented soybean extract, the Bean Cream seals moisture in for the long haul and doesn’t feel heavy or greasy on the skin — so it’s equally as good for daytime and nighttime.
Mizon
More snail mucin, please, and thank you. Mizon’s All In One Snail Repair Cream and Snail Repair Eye Cream contain plenty of snail mucin to replenish hydration and elasticity, plus soothing ingredients like cica and mugwort to make sure your barrier is rock solid.
Erborian
At the intersection of Korean and French beauty traditions, Erborian sources traditional Korean herbs such as ginseng, bamboo, wild yam, and horsetail to inject into their products. (In fact, “Erborian” translates to “Herbs of the Orient.”) While you may have heard of Erborian’s CC Cream, the brand’s skin-care serums, moisturizers, and oils are not to be overlooked.
Belif
Winter is here, whether we like it or not — hence, all of the Belif restocks we’re about to go in on. Belif’s lineup of impossibly moisturizing skin-care products is refreshing and lightweight yet potent. The brand doesn’t go on sale very often, so pick these up at a discount while you can.
Then I Met You
This is not a drill: Then I Met You rarely goes on sale so you’ll want to get at least two of the Best of Beauty-winning Cleansing Balm. While you’re at it, you might as well toss in a sunscreen…and toner…and face mask…and the rest of the collection, if we’re being honest.
Banila Co.
Banila Co. Clean It Zero is considered an icon in the world of Korean cleansing balms and certainly one you should incorporate into your skin-care routine if you want clearer skin. The Original formula has since welcomed Clarifying (for oily skin), Purifying (for sensitive skin), Brightening, Revitalizing (for combination skin), Nourishing, and most recently, Firming to its portfolio — so you’re not short of options when it comes to your specific skin concerns.
Hanskin
Hanskin’s Pore Cleansing Oils are not only effective and gentle but they offer three types based on your skin type: AHA for dry skin, BHA for oily skin, and PHA (pictured above) for sensitive skin. Meanwhile, the glycerin, hydrolyzed collagen, and sodium hyaluronate in the Real Complexion Hyaluron Skin Essence are responsible for an intense but quick-absorbing burst of hydration.
Beauty of Joseon
Glow up (literally) with Beauty of Joseon’s niacinamide- and propolis-packed serum and even out any stubborn discoloration with consistent use. Then, hit rewind on your eye area — a.k.a. minimize the look of fine lines and crow’s feet — with the Revive Eye Serum (one of the best Korean eye creams, in our opinion), which is packed with ginseng and retinal (a super gentle version of retinol) to do the job.
Kahi
That’s right: The viral Wrinkle Bounce Multi Balm is 35% off for Cyber Monday. Stock (sold legitimately by Kahi) always ebbs and flows so consider this your chance to pick up the portable plumping treatment so you can indulge in a dose of moisture anywhere you go.
Aestura
November 20 to 27: All Aestura products are 30% off for the entire week, so if your skin is feeling the effects of colder temperatures, this is your sign to pick up some barrier-restoring treatments from Atobarrier 365 lineup, which includes a body lotion, essence, and so much more. We also consider the A-Cica 365 Calming Cream as one of the best Korean moisturizers on the market if cica is a must-have ingredient in your routine — it’s a match made in heaven with the A-Cica 365 Soft Calming Mask Pads seen above.
Neogen Dermalogy
I’ve been using Neogen for years and it just doesn’t disappoint. The Day-Light sunscreen and essence are personal favorites but you can’t go wrong with anything from the line.
Son & Park
Son & Park Beauty Water has developed a loyal following because it’s a cleansing water and toner all in one. Papaya extract mildly exfoliates and sweeps away dead skin cells, witch hazel smooths texture, while a blend of lavender water, rose water, and orange fruit extract adds moisture. You can use it either before makeup application for a flawless base or post-cleansing as a pH-balancing toner. Want it in mist form? Wish granted. You can tote around the Beauty Water Mist wherever you please for a boost of hydration.
Rovectin
November 13 to 27: Rovectin is inspired by the Latin word reverti, which means “to return back to where it was.” Rovectin’s founder started the brand after witnessing his sister’s damaged skin post-chemotherapy and sought to create soothing products to address extreme dryness and skin barrier deterioration — and now you can try out the products for yourself while they’re up to 40% off for Cyber Monday. The Lotus Water Calming Toner and Water Cream are made up of 40% and 75% lotus flower extract, respectively, and are both lightweight and fast-absorbing in nature. They also protect the skin against fine dust and pollutants, so they’re especially useful for city dwellers.
Illiyoon
November 24 to 27: People with sensitive skin, listen up. Illiyoon is slashing prices on its collection of moisture-replenishing body-care products by 30% off all weekend long. The category is ceramides and these treatments come out on top.
Saturday Skin
Saturday Skin’s Yuzu Vitamin C Sleep Mask and Carrot + Niacinamide Moisturizing Cream are two of our favorite brightening treatments that wrap up our daytime or nighttime skin-care routines neatly — as in, they’ll also seal in moisture and prevent moisture loss while you go about your day or hit the hay.
Best Korean Makeup Cyber Monday Deals
Peripera
November 23 to 27: We’ve said it and we’ll say it again: Peripera, an already affordable brand that’s discounting products by up to 50% off, has developed one of the best Korean lip tints on the market. The Ink Velvet is equally pigmented as it is transfer-proof and comfortable to wear.
Amuse
It says it right in the name: Amuse Dew Tint. These impossibly comfortable lip tints consist of 40% water and eight types of hyaluronic acid, so you get a velvety finish that’s superbly hydrating. We guarantee they’ll give you that coveted K-pop idol look — if you need proof, just look at IVE’s Wonyoung, K-pop It Girl, and Amuse ambassador.
Clio
tktk
Unleashia
Don’t sleep on Soko Glam’s makeup selection as the e-retailer has been quietly adding some of Korea’s trendiest brands like Unleashia. Inspired by glittery K-pop idol looks? Unleashia’s Glitterpedia eye shadow palettes (Soko Glam offers three in total) are calling your name.
Glowiest
Looking for a sheer tint with extra hydration? You’ll fall head over heels for Glowiest’s lip oil, which is infused with a blend of sunflower seed oil, camellia japonica seed oil, and anemarrhena asphodeloides root extract (a herb commonly used in eastern medicine) to keep your lips pillowy-soft. The Sweet Dreams Lip Mask is the ideal nighttime treatment (or a more intensive daytime balm), thanks to three forms of hyaluronic acid and vitamin C.
Dr. Althea
Dr. Althea might have a stocked skin-care collection but the Clear Brow Sculpting Mascara whips your brow hairs into shape without any unnecessary roughness or crunch. For that, you can thank sodium PCA and a blend of botanical extracts, such as camellia japonica and persimmon.
Neogen
If you’re not into dramatic lashes, swipe on a layer of Neogen’s Extra Volumecurl Metal Mascara and let the slender metal applicator work its magic — a.k.a. amp up your lashes so that they look natural yet fluttery.
Hera
November 20 to 27: When you have none other than the Jennie Kim of BLACKPINK fame as your brand ambassador, you’re pretty much a big deal. Such is the case with Luxury makeup brand Hera which just so happens to be offering up to 50% off all Hera products on Amazon. New lippies delivered in two days or less? We’re so in.
Best Korean Hair-Care Black Friday Deals
Dr. Groot
November 24 to 27: If you haven’t heard of Dr. Groot, you will soon. Launched in 2017, this hair-care line is known for its Scalp Revitalizing line. The Thickening Shampoo, for example, is infused with biotin and encapsulated prebiotics to boost scalp moisture, reduce scalp redness/irritation, and remove pore-clogging buildup. For Black Friday, the entire lineup over at Amazon is 20% off, but luckily for you, we’ve sussed out a few deals that are already live.
La’dor
Through November 30: In addition to skin care and makeup, Soko Glam is also here for your hair-care needs. La’dor has been a top seller in the category ever since it launched, but if you’re new to the brand, we recommend trying the Tea Tree Scalp Clinic Hair Pack. This tingly, once-a-week treatment targets flaky, itchy scalps with a nourishing blend of tea tree leaf oil, aloe leaf extract, and snail mucin. (Yep, you read that right. Snail mucin isn’t just for the face.)
British M
To really enhance your scalp care, pick up a scalp massager to promote blood circulation and exfoliation and give you a relaxing massage after a long, hard day. The latter is reason enough, honestly.
