I’m a Beauty Editor, & These K-Beauty Deals Are Actually Worth It

“Whenever I use anything from Goodal, I wake up with skin that feels refreshed, hydrated, and glowy,” says Truffaut-Wong. “This eye cream is thin, but hydrating, so it doesn’t feel heavy and still gets the job done!”

The famed lip mask that Charli XCX and Sydney Sweeney love? Yup, it’s on sale! It makes my lips so soft and plush, especially if I pat it on my lips before bed.

Fifty percent off alert! I repeat: 50 percent off! This viral essence seriously hydrates my skin and gives me the dewiest complexion without feeling heavy, goopy, or sticky.

I could go on forever about how much I love this viral mask that you leave on overnight for glowy skin (spoiler: I did already). And I’ve never seen it at this low of a price…

This one—yeah, this one—is one of the sheerest sunscreens I’ve ever used. TikTokers with deep skin have raved about it for being completely invisible.

This depuffing eye serum is packed with retinol to help boost cell turnover, encouraging collagen production and reducing fine lines. One tester says they “saw noticeable change the next day” and that their “under eye wrinkles got smoother.”

I’m floored at how inexpensive this cleansing oil is with the 30 percent off Prime Day deal. For less than $14, it’ll gently remove eye makeup, foundation, concealer, liquid lipstick, and more—all while moisturizing and soothing your skin.

I’ve been using this essence for a few months now, and my skin loooves it. It’s so soothing and moisturizing, giving me that ~snail-like~ glow (but this one’s vegan, which is a big plus for me).

Prepping for winter? Same, which is why I already placed an order for this rich cream from Etude House. It’s gentle and sensitive-skin friendly, but feels extremely nourishing (ty, panthenol and madecassoside).

Glowy af skin for 58 percent off? Sign me the hell up. This viral toner uses rice extract to seriously soothe and nourish skin, while niacinamide helps balance oil production.

It’s simply a fact that sunscreens from Korea are better. There, I said it! This one is seriously loved on TikTok because it’s so lightweight and blends easily.

It’s an oil! It’s a stain! It’s an oil tint!! I have one of these in my bag rtfn, because it’s just that good. Immediately, it gives my lips a glossy sheen, but it leaves behind a stain that lasts for five or more hours.

True story: When beauty director Lauren Balsamo went to Seoul last year, she picked one of these up for me (best boss ever award). Now, I legit can’t live without it. Luckily, I can grab it on Amazon instead of book a flight.

Whenever I feel a big ol’ zit coming on, I smooth this mask all over my face. The volcanic clay absorbs excess oils, while AHAs exfoliate dead skin.

Last winter, I slathered my entire face in this barrier cream for months, and I never once experienced the wretched winter dryness. Stocking up while it’s on sale for suuure.

Currently have three tubes of this at my desk at the Cosmo office, lol. It’s so lightweight and blurring on my lips while also being hella pigmented.

Pat this onto damp skin, and watch your face soak it the heck up. Hyaluronic acid is the GOAT for hydration, and this affordable pick has hella five-star reviews.

Want the juiciest lips known to man? Swipe on this lip oil, which reviewers swear makes their lips look like pure jelly. Seriously—just peep the 10,000+ five-star reviews.
