I Finally Achieved Glass Skin, and These K-Beauty Products at Sephora Deserve All the Credit

My face never fully feels clean unless I start with this Korean cleansing oil. Despite its intense cleansing powers, which remove every lick of makeup, it’s still plenty gentle and even soothing on my sensitive skin.

Not only does this cleanser effectively remove makeup and SPF, but it also clears out pores while delivering a nice boost of moisture. Its light herbal scent and bouncy gel texture only add to the sensorial experience.

I'm here to tell you that everything you've heard about this viral hydrating toner is true. It immediately gives skin a major hydration boost for a glass-like glow.

My skin tends to be even more sensitive to retinol in the dry winter months, but this toner is a godsend at combating side effects. Green tea ceramides and hyaluronic acid leave my skin glowy and hydrated, instead of flaky and irritated.

Consider this pick an all-in-one serum for aging skin. Its star ingredient is ginseng, which helps repair the skin barrier, and it also includes Korean herb extracts and a vitamin C derivative for brighter, smoother skin.

A niacinamide serum is the secret sauce for clearer, brighter skin. This pick is packed with the hero ingredient, so you can expect a model-like glow in a few weeks. It also works as an illuminating primer under makeup, or you can add a few drops to your foundation for an extra dewy finish.

Whenever my skin is freaking out from over-exfoliating, dry weather, or retinol, I slather it in this moisturizer and wake up to a world of difference. With its no-fuss formula and not-too-rich texture, this is the dry-skin moisturizer I’d recommend to anyone and everyone.

My oily skin can't always handle ultra-rich moisturizers, but this one strikes the perfect balance in texture. It's lightweight, while still delivering plenty of moisture for when dry winter skin strikes.

You get a whole lot of bang for your buck with this TikTok-viral eye cream. It targets every sign of aging around your eyes, from dark circles and puffiness to fine lines and wrinkles, thanks to its ginseng- and retinal-packed formula.

Puffy, tired eyes don't stand a chance against this cooling eye cream. With caffeine, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide in the mix, it brightens, depuffs, and plumps for a well-rested undereye area.

My love affair with Korean sunscreen began with Beauty of Joseon, and although the brand had to modify its formula to meet U.S. standards, this version still holds up. Its lightweight texture feels more like a moisturizer, and it looks like one, too, with no white cast and a glowy finish.

This Dr. Jart+ pick changed my stance on stick sunscreens. It's actually lightweight and sheer, and it doesn’t make my already oily skin feel any greasier. What’s more, the stick packaging makes it easy to throw in my bag for on-the-go touch-ups, both under and over makeup.

I’m a big fan of sheet masks, and Dr. Jart’s is one I make sure to keep stocked in my cabinet. Its new-and-improved formula is even more hydrating and easy to use—simply slather on the serum ampoule, top it with the rubber mask, relax in the cooling sensation for 20 minutes, and remove to see a glass-like finish.

These masks have earned plenty of hype on social media and rightfully so—the before-and-after results speak for themselves. I like to use it on the morning of special occasions. After about four hours, when the mask has turned clear, my skin is bouncier, plumper, and glowier, just like I had gotten a professional facial.
