If Korean skincare was a car, it would be a Tesla. It’s fast, hi-tech, maybe not the most sustainable…but certainly a wunderkind of innovation and a breeding ground for trends that trickle down (or up?) to the world’s biggest brands. Snail essence? That was them. Sheet masks? Yah. BB cream, CC cream, DD cream and cushion compacts? You get the picture.

The list goes on…and on and on and on and oooon. A list so long, in fact, it would be humanly impossible for a single beauty editor to trial every rumoured miracle product on the K-Beauty market and report back a comprehensive list with complete certainty. So, once again, we called out for your Korean skincare intel: What do you love? What do you not love? What works??

You guys were ultra, ultra impassioned when it came to filling us in on the products that have changed your lives. Like, literally. Cue many a *Holy Grail* name drop, a liberal dose of exclamative statements (!!!), and a touch of CAPSLOCK. Now, if you’ll excuse us, we’re checking out to add every single one of your suggestions to our carts.
