K-Beauty Faves

My favourite SPF product of all time. Hydrating but still light enough for my oily skin. Can have slight white cast on darker skin.

Very similar to the Beauty of Joseon sunscreen, but slightly lighter and no rice if your skin is sensitive to that (but has birch).

The most ridiculously lightweight version of the Beauty of Joseon-style SPF formulas.

A mineral sunscreen I don't mind. Does have butyloctyl salicylate.

Super lightweight mineral sunscreen (does include boosters). My least-hated mineral formula.

Super lightweight combination sunscreen that avoids a bunch of common ingredients - worth a try for sensitive skin!

One of my favourite sunscreen stick formulas. Good for reapplication, and places that get messy (hands, chest), but wouldn't recommend sticks as primary protection.

Another solid sunscreen stick. Again, wouldn't recommend for primary protection but good as an add-on!

Lovely soothing and hydrating serum.

Soothing and hydrating product for "glow", with niacinamide and antioxidants

Budget friendly hydrating toner, huge bottle that lasts forever

Super hydrating serum, also has some skin smoothing effects

One of my favourite cleansing balms, with a lovely melting texture and light scent. Rinses off cleanly.

My favourite cleansing balm! Melts beautifully, lovely scent, leaves a light moisturising film. A dream.

A rare fragrance-free cleansing balm that doesn't compromise on other features - good melt, rinses off cleanly.

Really lightweight and hydrating moisturiser, absorbs nicely, works well under makeup. Light citrus scent.

Lightweight moisturiser, applies beautifully for a hydrated dewy look.

Gentle cleanser with a nice texture, doesn't strip skin, fragrance-free

One of the best value retinal products around. You can use it all over your face!

Super soothing balm, great for irritated skin!

Great peeling gel, good for gentle surface exfoliation.

One of my favourite peeling gels

Unusual moisturising product that's somewhere between a lotion and a toner.

Lip balm that works for my dehydration-prone lips.

Longwear eyeliner that doesn't transfer and doesn't dry out easily

Super efficient cleansing oil, works reasonably well for eyes
