The Top K-Beauty Products 2024
Korean skincare is everywhere on social media these days—from TikTok and Instagram to YouTube. It's no wonder so many people want to try K-beauty products for themselves. But with so many choices to choose from, it can quickly become overwhelming. Trust me, I know. Especially if you're new to the world of skincare, the sheer number of brands and products can easily be overwhelming.
Want to start a K-Beauty routine but not sure where to start? Don't worry, we're here to help. We've compiled a list of the most popular K-Beauty products for 2024, including everything from beauty devices and serums to eye creams and sunscreen. Curious? Then just read on.
Medicube — AGE-R Booster-H
Let's start with a product that has taken the K-Beauty world by storm - Medicube's AGE-R Booster-H. Or, really, any Medicube skincare device. You have to understand that Medicube is not just another brand selling skincare devices that do nothing. Their technology is revolutionary and scientifically proven, meaning you will actually see a difference, and that's after the first use.
So how does the AGE-R Booster-H work? It's pretty ingenious. This device uses electroporation, which is very short electrical pulses that create temporary channels in your skin, improving the absorption of your skincare products. This makes the rest of your routine much more effective. In a clinical test by Medicube, the absorption rate was increased by 460% - if that's not impressive, I don't know what is.
Round Lab — Birch Moisturizing Toner
No K-Beauty routine is complete without the right toner! If you're not sure which one to choose, we recommend Round Lab's Birch Moisturizing Toner. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, this toner uses ingredients like hyaluronic acid, birch extract, and sugar cane extract to reduce inflammation, intensely hydrate, and soothe skin.
It is also free of perfume and alcohol, which makes it suitable for even the most sensitive skin types. You can apply it with a cotton pad or simply with your hands. And if your skin is particularly thirsty, you can easily apply several layers.
Sioris — Deep in a Barrier Cream
A damaged skin barrier is both frustrating and painful - a problem that many are familiar with, especially when using powerful active ingredients such as retinol or tretinoin. The key to healing? A good barrier cream. Korean skincare brand Sioris offers one of the best creams on the market, enriched with green tea extract, centella asiatica, tamanu oil and shea butter.
This is more than just a moisturizer; it's an effective way to soothe and restore the skin barrier. Because it's a little heavier than a regular moisturizer, it's best suited for a nighttime skincare routine.
Beauty of Joseon — Matte Sun Stick
Everyone now knows how important it is to wear sunscreen. But it is just as important to reapply sunscreen regularly - ideally every 3-4 hours. Admittedly, this is often inconvenient, especially if you are wearing make-up.
Luckily, Beauty of Joseon, one of the leading Korean cosmetic brands, has developed the perfect solution for this: a matte sun stick that is so compact that it can easily fit in any bag and be taken anywhere. Thanks to its unique matte texture, you don't have to worry about oily shine. Your skin will remain matte and protected, just as you want it, but with an extra layer of protection from the sun.
Goodal — Heartleaf Calming Moisture Serum
Are you struggling with red, irritated and dry skin? Or are you simply looking for a product that will give your complexion a beautiful glow and a little more plumpness? Whatever the case, Goodal's Heartleaf Calming Moisture Serum can help. Enriched with eight types of hyaluronic acid and their star ingredient - Houttuynia Cordata extract - this serum is all you need to repair damaged skin and restore moisture levels. Thanks to its vegan and hypoallergenic formula, this serum is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
Beauty of Joseon — Revive Eye Serum
Last but not least, here is another cult favorite from Beauty of Joseon – their Revive Eye Serum. This product is more than just a regular eye cream. With ingredients like ginseng, retinal, and niacinamide, this eye serum is a real all-rounder.
No matter what concerns you have around your eyes - be it puffiness, wrinkles or dark circles - this powerful combination of active ingredients tackles them all. And although retinal is usually too strong for the delicate eye area, Beauty of Joseon knew exactly what they were doing: they only added a low concentration that is suitable for even the most sensitive skin types.
