1. Lightweight Cosrx snail mucin essence , a hydrating holy grail for many people with dry, sensitive skin and a gentler, cheaper alternative to many name-brand moisturizers and serums. It's effective on all skin types, and reviewers report seeing improvement after just a few uses! Acne scars, dark spots, and fine lines are about to meet their match.

Promising review : "Game-changer. I don't know what kind of sorcery this is, but it has literally changed my skin!! First time I used it, my skin felt tighter and more balanced. A week later, twice a day, my skin is so much brighter.



Better texture and even coloring. Pores seem tighter. Not a single pimple since.

It looks so healthy. Whatever magic this is, it works better than any expensive designer skin lab crap that I've tried." — Np Get it from Amazon for $14.

50 . 2. An Elizavecca hair protein treatment formulated to deeply repair and hydrate your hair thanks to restorative ingredients like collagen and ceramide 3.

You just apply it after shampooing, wait as little as five minutes, then rinse it out for hair that looks *and* feels silky soft. Some reviewers say it's even BETTER than Olaplex (despite being a fraction of the price). I've been using this stuff lately and have to say, my hair has never felt better!! My hair is color-treated and tends to feel really dry at the ends, and I'm used to globbing on so much conditioner in an effort to have it feel silky and hydrated.

With this Elizavecca treatment, I don't have to use very much, and it feels like it really permeates my strands to leave them sooo soft. Sometimes I leave it on for just five minutes if I'm in a rush, and other times I'll actually get out of the shower (after washing my hair) and leave this on for a full 20 minutes while I do other things. I've noticed that my hair legit feels better for days afterward — which is a good thing, since I only wash my hair a couple times a week! BTW, reviewers with everything from thin, fine hair to 4c curls have reported positive results from this moisturizing formula, which is particularly recommended for folks whose hair is damaged from using hot tools, bleach, and the like.

Promising review: "I found Korean skincare last year and am now upgrading to Korean haircare as well. This mask feels like a conditioner, but once applied and left on for 30-ish minutes, my hair is smooth, smells amazing, and just feels nourished to bliss ." — Andrea Neumann Get it from Amazon for $7.

40 . 3. A pack of exfoliating washcloths to experience the full-body exfoliating treatment of your *life* without a trip to a pricey spa.

It'll buff away dry, dead skin to reveal the smooth skin underneath, and it'll help your moisturizers sink in better for long-lasting softness. Soak your skin in water for 10 minutes before exfoliating for best use. Recommended use is one to two times a week.

Note: It shouldn't be used on your face, but your arms, legs, and the rest of your body are fair game! Promising review : "Where have these been my entire 41 years on this planet?! Oh that’s right...

Asia! I am an exfoliating and moisturizing snob. To the point that my blue collar husband with the roughest hands in the world always comments about how soft my skin is after using these. They leave my skin feeling so soft and satisfied.

It’s unbelievable. I can’t wait to see how my skin's texture looks after continued use of these." — n3m0 Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $5.

90 . 4. An Anua heartleaf pore-clearing cleansing oil if you're ready to enter your glass skin era, because this K-beauty staple will do the trick.

It'll dissolve makeup residue and pull blackhead-causing gunk out of your pores. Reviewers say you can actually see the yuck that's come out, which is both gross and satisfying — but not as satisfying as how good your skin will look after. Reviewers say they use this as a step in their double cleansing routine , which is a method of cleansing your face twice — first with an oil-based cleanser, and then again with a water-based cleanser to help get all the gross stuff out of your pores.

Promising review: "This is my first time ordering an oil-based cleanser and I’m so glad I purchased this one. I originally saw this product on TikTok and wanted to see what the hype was all about. After using the cleanser on my dry face for 2–3 minutes, I could visibly see my white- and blackheads on my fingers.

I was a little hesitant to try oil cleansing because I have acne-prone skin. However, my face has never looked better. After each use, my face is as soft as a baby's bottom, and my scarring doesn’t look as deep! The cleanser has a light, clean scent.

Not super strong! I am currently pairing this cleanser with the Anua heartleaf soothing toner to achieve glass skin. #glassskinera" — Myshel Cagle Get it from Amazon for $17.69 .

5. Mixsoon Bean Essence , a thick (but not sticky) essence made from fermented beans, which I BET you didn't know are super effective at replenishing moisture deep within your skin for max suppleness. At the same time, it exfoliates to help slough off dead skin cells (goodbye, pore gunk) and regulate sebum production.

Promising reviews: " I saw this all over TikTok/Instagram and decided to buy it because I have a lot of sebaceous filaments on my chin and nose. It's a little expensive but I took a gamble: it works! You can physically see the sebaceous filaments come out of your pores. It is not the product bunching up.

My problem areas were so much smoother after using and are left with a moisturized glow. I then proceeded to have my boyfriend use this product to see of it worked this good on everyone on the first try and it worked on his nose as well. Amazing stuff.

🩷" — Losa "I have hyperpigmentation and oily skin. I feel this product regulates my oil production and it helps my makeup look so flawless. 10/10.

" — MissKayMae Get it from Amazon for $14.90+ (available in two sizes). 6.

A dark spot–correcting serum if you have hyperpigmentation and it's really bumming you out. This stuff is formulated with 5% niacinamide, papaya extract, and plant-derived squalane to brighten and even out your skin tone, leaving your complexion positively glowy. Promising review: " I swear by this serum, it made my dark spots disappear.

and I’ve been using this on and off for about four months...

because I’m not consistent with my skincare lol. These photos are only about a month apart..

as you can see the dark spot on my cheek completely disappeared. i don’t have photos from when I first began using it but there’s a huge improvement!" — Minah Get it from Amazon for $13.11 .

7. Skin1004's Zombie Pack , which works in just 15 minutes to noticeably reduce the appearance of fine lines, tighten pores, improve texture, and brighten your complexion. The mask itself tightens and cracks as it works on your skin — hence the name! — but when you rinse it off, your skin is left soooo soft and smooth.

To use, mix the powder and activator and apply it onto your face. You'll look like a character from The Walking Dead as the mask works its magic, but once you rinse it off after 10–15 minutes of letting it dry, you'll have some happy and radiant skin. Reviewers compare it to Hanacure , which anyone in the beauty community has probably heard of, only this is wayyy cheaper, especially considering you get eight packs and a brush with the set! Skin1004 is a Korean skincare brand that provides high-quality skincare items made of plant-based ingredients from Madagascar.

Its signature ingredient is centella asiatica extract, a soothing and hydrating antioxidant that is known for its ability to heal wounds and protect the skin. Promising review: "I was a little skeptical when I bought this. Tried it for the first time and was amazed by the results! My skin looks and feels amazing, I felt like I looked at least five years younger.

Yes, it doesn't smell the greatest, but it wasn't overly strong. My skin is very sensitive, and I avoid trying new products because a lot of them irritate my skin, but this product didn't. I am so thrilled.

" — Dayna Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $22 . 8. A Nooni tinted appleberry lip oil that coats your lips with silky sheer color.

If you're not typically a gloss girlie, don't worry — this isn't too sticky or thick, but it *will* give dry lips that deep hydration and nourishment they crave (without shelling out for Dior or YSL). This lip oil is vegan, cruelty-free, and has no parabens, sulfates, or phthalates. Promising review: "This is the first lip oil I've ever used.

Usually I avoid anything with oil because I have very sensitive and generally oilier skin, but I wanted to give this a try because I wanted something sheer and pretty for a natural makeup look. Probably the best purchase I've ever made!!! It's super sheer and looks fine on its own without any other makeup. The smell is delicious, and while the gloss dries and fades after about an hour or two without eating, the color stays all day! I did have to reapply after eating, but not after drinking water! I just wish it was bigger, it's a teeny bottle.

Would definitely buy again!!" — Debby Gold Get it from Amazon for $12 (available in 10 shades, a jumbo size, and multipacks). 9. A Mise En Scene hair serum for locks so sleek and shiny, you'll be dumbstruck that they're actually yours.

This magical stuff is infused with seven nature-derived oils: argan, olive, coconut, apricot, marula, jojoba, and camellia. You can use it on damp hair before blow-drying, then add a bit more as a finisher to help counter dryness and frizziness. Plus, reviewers say it smells incredible! Promising review: "I looooove this so much .

The smell is amazing, and it tends to stick around for a while so I love getting whiffs of it through the day. My hair is softer and doesn’t seem as frizzy as before . I put it on after washing my hair, and then after it’s dry.

I tend to wash my hair two times a week, so I’ll use it in between washes on my ends to make sure they still look nice and healthy. Great value too; I’ve been using it pretty consistently since purchasing and I’ve barely made a dent in it. Love it!" — Noley Get it from Amazon for $11.

16 . 10. A Goodal vitamin C serum that's juiced up with 70% green tangerine extract and ready to jump into action if your final skincare boss is dark spots and hyperpigmentation.

Reviewers (like the one below) also praise it for fading *years* of sun damage. It's like they somehow packaged brighter, more youthful-looking skin in a bottle. Promising review: "I can't praise this product enough.

Not only does it work for my sensitive skin, but it also helps remove the sun spots I've gained over the years. A combination of using this product in my skincare regimen along with sunscreen has truly helped these age spots disappear. The difference in my photos [above] is two years (36- and 38-years-old) and I somehow appear younger with my skin tone balancing out.

You have to get this product if you've ever subjected yourself to the sun and wish to take it back lol." — Rebekah Heise Get it from Amazon for $20.20 .

11. A jar of Anua Heartleaf daily toner pads infused with PHA, a mild exfoliator that buffs away dead skin cells and helps clear blackheads, whiteheads, and breakouts. They're alcohol-free, gentle enough for a.

m. and p.m.

use, and won't irritate sensitive skin — but they *will* leave you with a smooth, glowy base ready to absorb all your other skincare. Promising reviews: " This has been THEEE best product for my dry, sensitive skin. These pads are brightening and helped my uneven skin texture .

I didn’t know these pads would change my skin completely!! I’ll be repurchasing forever, best skincare product I’ve used in a long time, you NEED THIS! You’ll immediately notice a difference." — Kenny Vasquez "When I tell you my skin hasn’t been this clear in forever. I have PCOS and hirsutism, which causes me to grow hair on my neck and chin.

I’m also a skin picker, so clearing my skin has been really difficult for me. But this product has saved my skin . I’m still working on my skin picking but when I don’t, these pads help to exfoliate and help with the dark marks.

Thank Anua!" — Jessyca Renee Get it from Amazon for $21.82 . 12.

A SeoulCeuticals toner mist that's like waving a magic wand over your face for an instant dose of dewy radiance. This essence is packed with naturally derived ingredients like tamarind and cucumber extracts, green tea, aloe vera juice, and marine minerals that rejuvenate and plump your skin, which also helps prevent breakouts and minimize fine lines and wrinkles. SeoulCeuticals is a small skincare business that was founded in 2017 by a husband and wife team.

Though it's a US-based company and the products are made in a state-of-the-art US facility, their main ingredients are sourced directly from South Korea, and they work closely with Korean partners and their consultant Ella Cho to ensure quality and authenticity. You can read more about the brand here ! Promising review: " I’m on my fourth or fifth bottle of this stuff, I use it as a daily toner, and I must say that it is AMAZING . My skin is even and bright.

I look like a buttery roll or a glazed donut, and I love it. My skin has never loved me more. I also pair this with their serum, along with a strict skincare routine.

" — Victoria Del La Torre Get it from Amazon for $19.98 . 13.

Plus, their snail repair cream for applying after any serums — this non-comedogenic moisturizer contains 97.5% snail mucin filtrate as well as vitamin E, organic aloe, and shea butter. Softer, smoother, brighter skin is in your future.

..and you didn't even have to splurge on Sunday Riley or Drunk Elephant.

Promising review: "I have extremely dry, sensitive skin. I am prone to acne and also get eczema patches all over just because of how dry I am. I would use great products to moisturize, but I would still have gross flakes all over my face after the day.

I have tried oils, creams, literally everything and I was at a loss. I thought it was just my skin type — NOPE! I use this morning and night, and my skin doesn’t flake at all (even with makeup) and it’s gotten visibly softer and less texturized . I love this stuff.

" — Morgan Get it from Amazon for $15.95 . 14.

Or a Mizon snail repair cream containing soothing Centella asiatica (which helps calm irritation), raspberry and mugwort extracts to boost the skin's protective barrier, exfoliating AHA — and, of course, hydrating, reparative snail mucin. Who knew snails were the unsung superheroes of skincare? Promising review: "I am obsessed with this stuff. I would bathe in it if I could!! I have really sensitive skin to weather changes and tend to get flaky skin on my face, but I've used this for two years now, and I have had the most moisturized baby-smooth face since .

Seriously buy it, put it on before bed, and the next morning you can absolutely tell the difference. I’m like a freaking walking ad for it. My face is brighter and more moisturized.

" — Leah Get it from Amazon for $10.89+ (available in four sizes). 15.

A Beauty of Joseon eye serum for those stubborn dark circles that seem to hang on for dear life, no matter how much sleep you get. It uses ginseng extract, retinol, and niacinamide to not only brighten the area but also help reduce the appearance of fine lines and improve elasticity. Promising review: " This eye cream makes my eyes so soft; it has this luxurious feel that is better than any high-end product I have tried, and for the cost? This stuff is unbelievable.

I tried Ogee and all sorts of products that people swear by, but this one keeps my eyes hydrated and soft all night and lasts until the next day. It also isn’t greasy, which I love. Since it has retinol, I only put it on at night and use a vitamin C serum by Murad in the morning.

I love this product! You can feel and see a difference after one use." — AJ Get it from Amazon for $14.94 .

16. A tube of Elizabeth Mott Thank Me Later eyeshadow primer because if you're applying eyeshadow without a base, you're not getting its full effect. Not only will it make your eyeshadow look bolder and extra pigmented, but it'll also combat oil and creasing so your smoky eye looks flawless all night long.

Elizabeth Mott is owned by Korean American Alice Kim and partners with top Korean manufacturers to bring affordable yet effective K-beauty products to the U.S. Promising review: "I feel so stupid.

..I'm 65 years old and have always been annoyed by the fact that by mid-afternoon, my upper lids would be oily, shiny, and sporting a stripe from my eyeliner.

I didn't think there was a cure. This stuff ROCKS!! At the end of a hot Texas day, my lids are still as fresh and dry as they were at 6 a.m.

And it only takes a pinhead-sized drop to cover one entire lid from lashes to eyebrow, with enough left to cover the lower lid area as well. It's creamy, but dries very quickly. Awesome! The only thing that keeps this product from being 100% perfect is that it has a chemical smell when you first put it on.

..BUT.

..after a few minutes, the smell is gone and my eye makeup looks impeccable for 12+ hours.

Obviously, I highly recommend this product. They've found a lifetime customer with me." — ShortieTX Get it from Amazon for $13.

99 . 17. *And* their blurring face primer (with SPF 30!) creating the same flawless base for your face.

It's infused with nourishing shea butter, plant extracts, and minerals to give you a demi-matte velvety finish that'll minimize the appearance of pores instead of *enhancing* them like most makeup products seem to. Promising review: "I love this stuff. I have big pores so I bought this even though I was skeptical about it making them less noticeable.

It actually works! I love that it also has just a slight tint to it. I don't normally wear foundation so using this by itself works really well for me , giving me just a hint of color and evening out my pores. It doesn't sweat or wipe off either.

This is now my favorite product and a part of my daily routine now. Highly recommend!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in blurring, mattifying, illuminating, and color-correcting formulas).

18. Mediheal tea tree sheet masks because it's time to pamper your dull, irritated skin — and I'm not suggesting you drop $$$ at a fancy spa. This is basically a 15-minute spa treatment in a tiny package, complete with three different types of soothing tea tree extract here to help clear blemishes and control excess oil for calmer, balanced skin.

Promising reviews: "I love these masks! I have had a lifelong battle of fighting acne and combination skin. Some spots are super oily, and others are super dry. Using this mask 2–3 times a week has improved my overall appearance, and when I do have a breakout, it’s nowhere near as bad.

" — Miranda "Jimin of BTS recommended this sheet mask in one of his lives. Then, when I went to the Agust D concert, the Army who sat next to me gifted me three of these sheet masks along with some Yoongi photocards <33 The sheet masks are simply amazing. They hydrate my skin and my pores have gotten much better after using them a couple of times .

Definitely recommend!!" — Arpita S. Get a four-pack from Amazon for $7.90 (available in four different pack sizes).

19. A lightweight Cosrx mild gel cleanser that's *not* one of those harsh, drying cleansers that leave your skin worse for wear afterward. Instead, this pH-balanced option lathers up for a gentle, refreshing cleanse that actually *strengthens* your skin's barrier instead of disrupting it, with exfoliating BHA and soothing tea tree oil to help unclog pores and stop blemishes in their tracks.

Read more about tea tree oil and how it can help with acne at Mayo Clinic . Promising review: "After hours of exhaustive research on Korean gentle cleansers, I finally decided upon a cleanser. This was one of the best decisions I have ever made for my face! I have sensitive, combination, and very volatile skin, so if I ever make it unhappy, it definitely lets me know.

This cleanser is light enough that it doesn't feel thick or cloying, it has a very subtle smell (which I love), and the pH of the cleanser is so low that the only thing I am worried about for my face anymore is the pH of the water I am splashing on my face. It hasn't caused any bad breakouts or negative reactions like drying or tightness of skin, but it can certainly handle itself in the department of a full-face cleanser. This has caused me to look forward to trying more Cosrx products!" — Haley Hart Get it from Amazon for $11.

49 . 20. A fast-working calming cream by Dear, Klairs with an immediate cooling effect that actually lowers your skin temperature, perfect for soothing irritated, overheated skin.

Reviewers love using it after all-day sun exposure, laser treatment, and shaving as well as for general redness and rosacea. The above before and after shows a reviewer with severe rosacea — the picture on the right is of the results after only four times of applying less than a dime-sized amount of the cream to their face! Promising review: "Absolutely worth every single cent! I have severe rosacea that leaves my nose and cheeks dry, flaky, and breaking out. I’ve had little success with anything topical that will provide any relief to my irritated skin.

..I received my order Wednesday and applied it that night after washing my face.

By Saturday afternoon, my face is almost completely healed, preventing peeling and helping clear up my rosacea skin irritation! " — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in two sizes). 21. Cosrx Blackhead Power Liquid combining the powers of 4% BHA and 2% niacinamide to banish dirt and impurities lodged deep within your pores.

This leave-on exfoliant helps clear blackheads and visibly diminish the size of pores, and many reviewers compare it to the pricier Paula's Choice exfoliant and say it works just as well! After cleansing your skin, apply the essence using your hands (or a cotton pad) and wipe gently over your face. And don't forget to apply SPF afterward when using it in the morning! Promising reviews: " My pores have always looked so huge, but after just a week using this, I can already see them shrinking down and becoming smaller . I was a little nervous about using an oil-like serum like this on my T-zone because I have combo skin and always get oily around my nose and chin, but it honestly hasn’t affected my skin whatsoever.

There also isn’t really a scent to it, which is awesome. It leaves my skin feeling really moisturized." — Berika Jones "I decided to buy this instead of Paula’s Choice, and it works great and it’s cheaper.

It got rid of my T-zone blackheads and shrunk my pores . This also helped clear a breakout for me, but I mostly recommend it for people with blackheads and whiteheads. I have sensitive skin, and this doesn’t dry it out.

" — Sophie Get it from Amazon for $13.49 . 22.

A Some by Mi Miracle toner gentle enough for daily use, even with sensitive skin, to keep your skin smooth and clear. It contains moisturizing tea tree leaf water, brightening niacinamide, and AHA/BHA for mild exfoliation to resurface your skin, which will give you that smooth base for makeup (or the confidence to go without it)! After cleansing, soak your cotton pad with the toner, gently wipe your face, and lightly tap for absorption. Follow with moisturizer! Promising review: "This stuff works! First of all there was no purging period, which my acne-prone skin is grateful for.

It also doesn't sting or smell harsh. Within a week of using this toner, I stopped having breakouts . My dark spots are slowly getting lighter, and my skin is starting to glow.

I'm on my second bottle now, and I have nothing but good things to say. I really hope they never stop making this." — kem Get it from Amazon for $9.

60 . 23. The Saem hydrating eye stick to bring the cooling relief your dark, puffy undereyes are craving (because none of us are getting enough sleep, let's be real).

This moisturizing balm contains Icelandic glacial water that nourishes and strengthens the skin barrier as well as minimizes the appearance of fine lines and crow's feet. And, of course, the adorable packaging is just the cherry on top! It also can help tighten the appearance of eye wrinkles if you'd prefer for them not to be as noticeable. And here's a tip! It reduces puffiness faster if used after refrigeration.

Promising review: "This is definitely a miracle product. I was impressed that it worked so well, so fast, and so instantly. The packaging is silly but whimsical; I enjoy it.

This is the last thing I apply before walking out the door. First day I used it, I put it on and got in my car — I looked in the rearview mirror, and my heart jumped. My eyes had de-puffed on my walk down the front path!!! So impressive.

It's not hydrating. It’s more tightening/brightening. If you have dry under eyes, use a creamy hydrating eye cream first, and apply this over it — problem solved.

You don’t get much product, but you don’t need to use much either, and it’s not like it’s expensive. Definitely worth it if a product actually DOES what it claims it’ll do!!! Buy it!" — Joseph S. Get it from Amazon for $9.

90 . 24. Heimish cleansing balm if you're ready to quit those harsh, disposable wipes for good.

This multi-purpose balm removes makeup (yes, even your waterproof mascara and all-day lip stain) with ease, but it doesn't stop there — it melts into an oil that also helps remove blackheads, dead skin cells, and sebum, leaving you with a fresh cleansing finish sans any tightness or residue. Promising review: "I LOVE this cleansing balm. I’ve been trying all sorts of different cleansers to try and help my acne to no avail.

It wasn’t until I started watching vids on Korean beauty that this oil cleanser kept being recommended and I decided to give it a try. Worth. Every.

Penny . You don’t need a lot to wash your whole face , and it gets the job done well, leaving my face super refreshed afterward . Of course, I’ve been using other Korean beauty products so I won’t give it full credit, but I do think it’s helped out my acne a lot.

" — A Flying Potato Get it from Amazon for $16.20 (also available in a mandarin scent and a two-pack) 25. A bottle of I'm From goami rice toner here to nourish your parched skin if your environment is drier than a desert.

This lightweight milky toner is deeply hydrating and forms a protective barrier to prevent water loss and send dead skin cells packing, leaving you with the loveliest illuminating effect. It's basically radiance in a bottle. ✨ This toner is vegan, cruelty-free, and alcohol-free.

Promising review: "I love this toner! I’ve finished the whole bottle. It’s light and moisturizing. I can definitely tell the difference.

My skin is smoother and plump . I love it cause I have both oily and dry skin, and it makes my skin normal again! Best of all it doesn’t burn or irritate my skin, if anything it calms it down . Will definitely be buying again.

" — Rachael Get it from Amazon for $17.50 . 26.

A TikTok-viral overnight collagen mask — leave it on for 3–4 hours *or* overnight for a jaw-drop-worthy skin transformation: smaller pores, smoother texture, and a radiant glow that'll make you understand why people call it "glass skin." ✨ It contains three kinds of probiotics that strengthen the skin's barrier along with low-molecular-weight collagen and hyaluronic acid, which can penetrate deeeep to boost skin elasticity and refine pores. Check out a TikTok of this mask in action.

Promising review: "Oh...

my god...

.🤯 No scent. It starts milky white and turns clear.

I left it on overnight, woke up, and I was shook!! Pores? Where? Dry patch? Where? Fine wrinkles? Wherrrrrre??? Put it on over my lips as well, and it almost looked like I had fillers. It was so plump! 10/10 recommend. Holy grail of face masks.

<3" — Kichi Get a four-pack from Amazon for $19 (also available in a 16-count). 27. A Krave Beauty matcha hemp cleanser for a gentle, non-stripping option that won't leave your face feeling tight.

It'll melt away dirt, makeup, and SPF while maintaining your skin's barrier and leaving those natural lipids and oils it needs to thrive. It's great for all skin types, but *especially* dry, sensitive skin! This is vegan, cruelty-free, recyclable, and free of fragrance and essential oils. Krave Beauty is a Korean woman-owned small biz that aims to make skincare easy and stress-free.

Promising review: "If I could marry a facial cleanser, this would be the one. I am 41 years old with sensitive combination skin. I’ve used Cerave (recommended by my derm) for years and years.

Normally when I try something new, I always come back to Cerave, but not anymore! This face wash feels incredible and leaves my skin baby-soft every time. So gentle and soothing for my sensitive skin while also giving me a clean feel. I can’t believe I’m even writing a review for face wash, but it’s that good! 10/10 recommend.

" — Leena Get it from Amazon or direct from Krave Beauty for $16 . 28. A luxe Medicube facial device if you're ready to take your skincare game to the next level.

This high-tech tool (which is used by Hailey Bieber !) stimulates your skin to create electro-passageways so your skincare penetrates more deeply, leaving it plumper and brighter (aka that sought-after "glass skin" look). Now you'll *actually* get your full money's worth out of that $50 serum you splurged on. I *highly* recommend watching this TikTok , where the creator's 45-year-old mom (who looks unbelievably youthful) is using this device along with her other skincare products (mostly from the Korean brand Medicube ) to help them soak in for maximum effect! Psst: You can get the other products mentioned in that vid on Amazon too if you're interested in replicating her routine: the Deep Vita C pads , The Lab's hyaluronic acid toner , the Deep Vita C serum , the peptide eye cream , and the collagen jelly cream .

The reviewer whose before/after is shown above used the device once a day for almost two months, and is wearing no makeup in either pic. Promising review : "I’ve never used any kind of device like this before but decided to give it a try. I put a lot of effort and money into my skincare regimen and this device is making sure all those expensive ingredients get absorbed deep into my skin.

It’s easy to use and works with your current skincare products. It only tingles a tiny bit once you start to use level 4 and 5, but you quickly get used to it. I’ve had it for over a month now and still haven’t needed to recharge it.

After a five-minute session with this device my skin is so soft and hydrated and stays that way for hours later, and the sessions I do before bed keep me super hydrated through the whole night. I wake up with soft, plum, hydrated glowing skin. It’s been the best investment I’ve ever made for my skin hands down.

You won’t be disappointed." — Serina Jones Get it from Amazon for $132 . Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.
