If you're plugged into the skin care world at all (or, hey, even the popular beauty forums on Reddit), you've probably come into contact with the passionate enthusiasm surrounding K-beauty and Korean skin care. Similar to the persisting legend of French pharmacies and their gentle, effective, low-cost products, Korean beauty products have gained the adoration and acclaim of people from all over the world. In fact, Korea's exports of cosmetics in 2016 surged more than 40% on-year and beauty exports have reportedly surpassed their imports.
K-beauty has taken the industry by storm likely because of their "skin care first" mentality. Each product seems to make a concerted effort to improve your skin first and foremost rather than cloaking or sterilizing it — be it sunscreen, BB cream, a toner, a sheet mask (of which tourists buy en masse) or any other routine product.
However, it can be difficult navigating a world of many products (many of which may not have labels in your native tongue). To help remove that barrier, and give you a sense of some good products to look into first, I've compiled some of the best recommendations made on Reddit (such as the Asian Beauty Reddit thread), where many users share their own Holy Grail K-beauty products. Below are 18 of them.
Below are 18 K-beauty products recommended by Reddit:
