Korean skincare · honest reviews

The shelf, in the order you'd actually use it.

Every product here is one I've reviewed on video and checked is genuinely in stock before recommending. Pick where you're shopping from and every link below goes straight to that product at a retailer that ships to you.

Shipping to

Jolse ships from Korea to the US and most countries, with free shipping over $50. Two products below aren't available this way, and each says so on its card rather than sending you on a hunt.

Belantti stocks all ten in the UK, with free delivery over £35. Olive Young Global is the backup where a listing sells out.

Olive Young Global ships to Canada, Australia and Singapore direct from Korea. Four products below go to Olive Young's search rather than a product page, because I haven't verified their exact listing yet.

01

Cleanse

클렌징

Oil first to lift sunscreen and makeup, then a water-based cleanser to take off what's left. Doing it in one step is where most "my cleanser isn't working" complaints start.

02

Tone

토너

Korean toners aren't the astringent kind. This step is about putting water back after cleansing so everything after it spreads properly.

Medicube Zero Pore Pad 2.0

Medicube

Zero Pore Pad 2.0

70 pads · exfoliating toner pad

Pores don't shrink. Nothing closes them — the size is structural. What exfoliating pads do is keep them clearer, so they catch less shadow and read smaller. Two or three nights a week, not daily.

Jolse doesn't carry Medicube at all, so there's no worldwide-shipping option for this one. If you're in the US, the Medicube brand site is your best route.

03

Treat

에센스 · 세럼

Thinnest to thickest: essence, then serums, then anything for the eye area. These are the steps where results take weeks, not days — judge them on a month, not a morning.

04

Moisturise

크림

The last step at night. Its job is to hold everything underneath in place while you sleep, not to do the heavy lifting itself.

05

Protect

선크림

Every morning, last step. Skipping this undoes the tone serum above it faster than that serum can work.

Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics

Beauty of Joseon

Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics

50 ml · SPF50+ PA++++

Korean UV filters, which is why it feels like a light moisturiser instead of a sunscreen and leaves no white cast. The catch is below — those same filters are the reason it isn't sold in the US.

Not sold in the United States. The Korean UV filters it uses aren't FDA-approved, so no US retailer carries it. Worth knowing before you go hunting for it.
