Everyone's using Korean skincare for healthy, radiant skin - these are the 30% off picks our experts say to start with
From gentle first steps to cult-favourite serums, here's what our editors would add to basket during allbeauty's K-beauty sale
K-beauty has been having a moment for a good few years now - but if you've spent all that time watching from the sidelines, wondering whether an 11-step routine and a snail mucin serum is really for you, this sale full of our best Korean skincare buys might be the nudge you needed.
Right now, you can get 30% off a curated edit of Korean skincare at allbeauty.com, and our beauty team - who between us have tried more essences, sleeping masks and glow serums than we'd like to admit - have picked out the ones actually worth adding to basket.
K-beauty's reputation for effective, ingredient-led formulas is well earned: think gentle-but-potent actives, glass-skin glow, and a routine built on hydration layering rather than harsh, one-and-done treatments. But it can be a genuinely confusing category to start out in if you're used to a simpler routine - there's a lot of jargon, a lot of steps, and a lot of products all promising the same "glow." So rather than sending you off into the algorithm to fend for yourself, we've narrowed it down to the products our team keep repurchasing. You don't need all twelve to start - pick two or three for different parts of your routine and build from there.
Is K-beauty worth trying?
If there's one thing that unites everything on this list, it's that none of it asks you to overhaul your entire routine overnight. Swap your go-to best cleanser, add a serum, try some of the best facial sunscreens they have to offer- that's a K-beauty routine in progress, no ten-step commitment required. With 30% off, it's a low-risk way to find out what the fuss is actually about.
