Some By Mi’s AHA-BHA-PHA 30 Days Miracle Toner

Some By Mi’s 30 Days Miracle Toner is one of the most effective exfoliators you’ll ever have. It’s a two-in-one product (toner and exfoliator) that promises four things: gentle skin exfoliation, hydration, pore tightening, and a brighter complexion — all within 30 days. Just wipe it all over your face with a cotton pad every morning and evening and you can bid your pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and acne scars goodbye. If you aren’t convinced yet, you should watch this YouTube review to witness the magic!

Make P:rem Blue Ray Sun Gel

It’s difficult to find a sunblock that you and your skin will actually love. But if there’s one product that’s worth the risk, it’s Make P:rem’s line of sunblocks, especially its Blue Ray Sun Gel variant. It has a lightweight formula with a broad spectrum SPF 50 PA++++ that protects the skin from UVA/UVB and also cools it down. It even contains hydrating Chia seed extract, Centella Asiatica extract, and Niacinamide that will help your skin look even more flawless. You can use this also as a primer for your make-up!

Nacific Fresh Herb Origin Serum

If you have damaged or aging skin, then you can count on this serum to work wonders for you. Nacific’s Fresh Herb Origin Serum is slowly gaining popularity ever since My Sassy Girl’s Jun Ji-Hyun swore by it as a skincare holy grail. It promises to heal damaged skin over time, restore elasticity, and balance oil and moisture problems on the face. Be warned, though, that it will sting on the face — but that just means that it’s doing its best job to heal your damaged skin.

J.One Jelly Pack

Anyone who has ever gotten their hands on the J.One Jelly Pack has never looked back. This multitasking product was created by Korean actress Ha Jiwon and is meant to moisturize and plump up the skin, as well as prime it for an even and lasting makeup application. The jelly texture will initially make it difficult to put all over the face, so use gentle but firm pats.

You can also use it as a sleeping pack! Put it on the night before and wake up to plumper skin.

Cremorlab T.E.N. Mineral Treatment Essence

Cremorlab has always made use of ingredients that are rich in minerals and it takes pride in offering Geumjin thermal water (or T.E.N. water) in particular. Cult favorite T.E.N. Mineral Treatment Essence is a must-have for strong skin hydration precisely because of all its natural minerals, and it provides brightening and pore-smoothing effects as well. It’s also very gentle on the skin and you will really see your skin glow after weeks of continuous usage.

O.R.G Mineral Peel Face

O.R.G Skincare’s Mineral Peel Face is the best grab-and-go product to have in your makeup kit for when you’re suffering the case of the dull and dry face. It’s an exfoliator housed in a tiny travel-sized spray bottle, making it so easy to use and bring around. Application and usage are just as easy; just give your face a couple of spritzes (avoiding the eye area), gently massage with your fingers until dead skin fall out, and then rinse or wipe it all away to leave a face that’s smooth and glowing from within!

Leaders Seven Wonders Sheet Mask

Sheet masks have become a vital part of our skincare routines and, with the wide variety of brands out there, it’s difficult to swear loyalty to just one (especially when most of them are great anyway).

However, you should always pay homage to the pioneers of the sheet mask trend: Leaders Clinic. Their Seven Wonders Sheet Mask line really does wonders on the skin with all its plant and fruit extracts from all over the world. Must-tries are definitely the Kalahari Melon Moisturizing Mask which deeply moisturizes your face, the Caribbean Coconut Calming Mask which reduces skin inflammations, and the Himalayan Camellia Pore Minimizing Mask which soothes and smoothens rough skin.

A’PIEU Madecassoside Cream

Centella Asiatica, Niacinamide, AHA/BHA — these are just a few of the skincare ingredients that have constantly been talked about by Korean skincare gurus. But try adding this to the list: madecassoside. Madecassoside has healing properties that can repair damaged skin barriers that make your face feel rough and dry.

A’PIEU’s Madecassoside Cream is the must-have moisturizing cream to reduce redness and dryness of the face, and it doesn’t feel heavy on the skin at all. You’d be left wondering why this product is one of the underrated products out there.
