It’s no secret that I love Korean skincare. In fact, it makes up about 90% of my current skincare routine. With high-efficiency ingredients and elegant formulas, I can’t help but restock my favorite products when I get the chance, and today is the *perfect* opportunity. That’s because Amazon’s Big Deal Days sale is on, and thousands of K-beauty products made the cut (lucky me). I’m talking about internet-viral items from Medicube, Biodance, and more. Plus, some editor-approved sleeper hits. Ahead, see 17 standout products worth adding to your cart. You better act fast, though. Today is the last day to score these deals.
BIODANCE
Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask
Let’s start with the internet’s favorite face mask. Each one in this four-count box contains a full 1.19-ounce ampoule(!) of high-potency serum. It contains four hero ingredients: oligo-hyaluronic acid, ultra-low-molecular collagen, galactomyces ferment filtrate, and niacinamide. Together, these ingredients deeply penetrate the skin to hydrate, smooth, firm, and brighten the complexion. Most of all, though, it makes the skin look smooth and reflective. I like to wear one overnight (it doesn’t budge once it dries down) for glass skin by morning.
SKIN1004
Skin1004 Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum UV SPF 50
As so many beauty editors will tell you, Korean sunscreen is elite. This water-splashed, serum-like SPF is no exception. There’s zero residue, greasy feeling, or white cast. Even better, hyaluronic acid and centella asiatica hydrate and soothe the skin. It’s a formula that I—get this—actually want to wear every day.
Medicube
Booster Pro X2 – 7 in 1 Glow Beauty Device
This is a six-in-one device equipped with electroporation technology to enhance the absorption of active ingredients, microcurrent to smooth fine lines, EMS to stimulate deep muscle layers and firm the skin, electric-needle technology to refine pores, sonic vibration to increase circulation, and five colors of LED to reduce inflammation and promote collagen. Read our full review to learn more about this celeb-loved, skin-transforming device.
Celimax
The Vita A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster
This targeted retinol serum is infused with 0.1% retinal (an advanced form of vitamin A that’s also known as retinaldehyde) and something called A-Shot—a refined micro-particle ingredient that’s 16 times thinner than pores and helps enhance the absorption of active ingredients. There are also highly effective peptides to help boost elasticity, smooth wrinkles, and tighten enlarged pores.
What kind of list would this be if I didn’t mention Medicube’s wildly popular Zero Pore Pads? They feature an ingenious dual-sided design. Glide the smooth side over your skin for soothing hydration, or flip it to the textured side for pore-refining exfoliation. They’re soaked in 4.5% lactic acid, 0.45% salicylic acid, and cypress tree leaf to dissolve blackheads and clear clogged pores.
Medicube
Exosome Shot Zero 7,500 Ppm Spicule Facial Serum
This serum is an Amazon best seller. It uses spicules—tiny, spear-shaped structures that pierce the skin’s surface and enhance product absorption. This “liquid microneedling,” as it’s called, refines skin texture and minimizes enlarged pores for a seamless, glassy look. The addition of exosomes (high-tech cell messengers) means you’ll see smooth, bright, incredible-looking skin ASAP. It’s an obvious add-to-cart.
VT COSMETICS
PDRN Reedle Shot 100 Serum
Here’s another spicule serum I recommend. This one also contains exosomes, as well as cica, an effective skin-soothing ingredient. Use it every three days at night to see clearer, smoother, and more even skin. Don’t be nervous if you experience some tingling or a prickly sensation. That’s the microspears in action. I recommend starting with the beginner serum, Reedle Shot 50 or 100, and then going up from there. FYI: The smaller the number on the bottle, the fewer microspears are in the formula.
ANUA
PDRN Collagen Glow Facial Serum Spray
Kendall Jenner loves this face mist. It’s a classic jelly mist (a Korean innovation that offers more plumping moisture than traditional face mists). Ingredients like PDRN, hydrolyzed collagen, and hyaluronic acid work to hydrate, smooth, and firm the skin. The noncomedogenic formula is safe for sensitive skin and even features makeup-gripping technology that improves the look and wear of foundation and concealer.
Medicube
PDRN Pink Collagen Gel Mask
Celebrities LOVE this face mask. Everyone from Kendall Jenner to Dua Lipa, Selena Gomez, and Lady Gaga has worn it in recent months. Its hero ingredient is PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide), a popular Korean skincare ingredient that’s famously found in salmon sperm, as well as other plant sources. Known for its healing and regenerative properties, PDRN can increase collagen production, reduce inflammation, and more. The mask also contains low-molecular collagen to improve firmness and elasticity, and niacinamide for a brightening, barrier-strengthening effect. The most instant effect, though, is a megawatt glow.
medicube
PDRN Pink Peptide Serum
This is the original PDRN serum. (ICYMI, research shows PDRN regenerates the skin and repairs tissue, which is why celebs like Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Aniston reportedly swear by it.) It went viral on Instagram and TikTok for its ability to hydrate, brighten, firm, and even skin tone, and ever since, it’s been a go-to for me.
AESTURA
Atobarrier365 Cream With Ceramides
IMO, this is one of the best Korean moisturizers on the market. It has a thick, cushiony texture that sinks into the skin, leaving no residue behind. Thanks to a ceramide-rich formula, it soothes and moisturizes dry skin. It even plays well with sunscreen and makeup. I’m not the only one who’s obsessed with it. I gave a tube to my brother, and he said, “It changed my skin.” Enough said.
Medicube
PDRN Collagen Gua Sha Neck Wrinkle Cream
I started to get serious about neck care when I turned 30. This firming, lifting, and smoothing product is one of my tried-and-true solutions. The formula is packed with PDRN, collagen, and proprietary volumizing ingredient to get rid of lines, wrinkles, and general “tech neck” symptoms fast. These high-tech ingredients are paired with ingenious packaging—a built-in gua sha for easy application.
ANUA
Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil
Heartleaf is the ultimate skin-soothing ingredient, and this oil cleanser is full of it. With a silky, noncomedogenic formula, you don’t have to worry about it clogging pores while it dissolves dirt, oil, makeup, and sunscreen. Apply it to dry skin, add water, and watch it emulsify as it clears the skin of debris. It’s my #1 recommendation for the first step in a double-cleansing routine.
ROUND LAB
1025 Dokdo Cleanser
Don’t worry. I also have a recommendation for the second step in a double-cleansing routine, AKA the water-based cleanser step. This one is pH-balanced, fragrance-free, and lathers into a silky foam. It removes all traces of dirt, oil, sweat, sunscreen, and makeup, and leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth.
abib
Vegan Collagen Eye Patches
I LOVE eye patches and use them almost every morning to soothe, hydrate, and de-puff my chronically tired-looking eyes. My eye patches of choice? Any of Abib’s offerings. I tend to cycle through the various formulas, but these ones are tried-and-true. They use Jericho rose and vegan collagen to improve elasticity and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. And the cooling gel is the perfect accompaniment to my morning coffee.
ROUND LAB
Azelaic Acid 12 Soothing Serum
Azelaic acid targets everything from acne to redness and discoloration. This serum contains the do-it-all ingredient at a 12% concentration. There’s also tranexamic acid, hyaluronic acid, and allantoin for extra brightening, hydrating, and skin-strengthening power.
MAMONDE
Flora Glow Rose Water Toner
If you want plump, hydrated skin that feels as soft as a flower petal, let me suggest Mamonde’s Flora Glow Rose Water Toner. It’s packed with rose peptide and hyaluronic acid for deep, long-lasting moisture. Either splash it onto your skin with your hands, or apply it to a cotton round for a sheet mask effect.
