K-Beauty, also called ‘Korean Beauty’, is an umbrella term for all skincare, makeup and body care products from South Korea. It’s known for being some of the most effective and cutting-edge in the world, using ingredients like rice water, snail mucin and ginseng, rarely used anywhere else.
Fortunately, you don’t have to travel to Korea to stock up on K-Beauty. You can shop many top-rated products here in Australia at specialty K-Beauty shops or on Amazon. Here, I’m sharing some of those K-Beauty favourites you can order from the e-tailer and get delivered right to your door.
VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot, now $26.40
I bought this at Olive Young (like a Mecca or Sephora) when I visited Korea. It feels prickly on your skin, which I like because it feels like it’s working. The product supports the skin’s natural renewal process and can be used alongside your regular routine.
COSRX Snail Mucin Repair Cream, now $15.47
This cream gently exfoliates, resurfaces skin and improves firmness. “I love the novelty of this product,” wrote one Amazon reviewer. “Its tub is so cute and I surprisingly enjoy the slimy feel of this product. It feels very hydrating while not clogging my pores.”
I’m From Rice Toner, now $32.24
This toner improves your skin’s hydration and moisture and oil and water balance. It contains nearly 80% Goami rice extract, which is effective in whitening skin and improving its elasticity.
Beauty of Joseon Ground Rice and Honey Glow Mask, now $28.57
This mask is by a K-Beauty brand fave, Beauty of Joseon. Apply it to a dry face after cleansing and leave it on for 5-10 minutes. Enriched with natural rice hull powder and honey, it provides deep hydration and improves skin texture.
Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream, now $29.99
A favourite product from Beauty of Joseon’s range, this cream is packed with ginseng and rice water that work to brighten your complexion. Its honey extract, squalane and ceramides strengthen and reinforce the skin’s protective barrier.
Dr Jart+ Cicapair Intensive Soothing Repair Cream, now $50.75
Founded in Korea in 2005, Dr Jart+ makes skincare that’s inspired by the latest breakthroughs in aerospace, microbiology and material sciences. This repair cream is calming, improving the appearance of redness and irritation. Use it as the last step of your skincare routine.
Biodance Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask, $32.95
This sheet mask by Korean brand Biodance hyaluronic acid and three probiotics that strengthen the skin’s barrier and fight signs of ageing. Apply it for 3-4 hours as the last step of your skincare routine.
Torriden Dive-In Low Molecule Hyaluronic Acid Serum, now $21.60
This serum contains five types of hyaluronic acid that work to hydrate, plump and soothe. It’s lightweight with a watery texture that isn’t sticky or greasy. Apply it after cleansing and toning.
Anua Hearleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil, $28
This cleansing oil is great for everyone, though it works particularly well for acne-prone skin. It removes makeup and helps to clear pores of impurities.
Innisfree Green Tea Amino Hydrating Cleansing Foam, $22.50
This cleansing foam removes pore impurities, adds moisture to help the skin and balances its oil. The result is a non-tightening, dewy finish. “It has a good scent and feels smooth after washing,” wrote one Amazon reviewer.
