Right now, Korean skincare products make up about 90% of my skincare routine, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Not only do K-beauty products feature cutting-edge ingredients and technology (PDRN ! Spicules ! Exosomes !), but they also feature elegant formulas that act as sensory delights. Think hydrogel masks, jelly-like serums, and bouncy face mists. It’s almost as if they were sent from the future.
Through Friday, June 26, my favorite Korean skincare products are on sale during Amazon Prime Day . Since I already created a tightly curated list of the best products to repurchase for my own use, I thought it would be easy enough to share it with you, dear reader. Ahead, see 14 on-sale items that received my hard-to-earn editor stamp of approval. FYI: I saved $111 on the whole order.

PDRN Pink Peptide Serum
PDRN , a compound found in salmon sperm and other plant sources, is the internet’s favorite skincare ingredient right now. It’s been widely used in Korea for a while, but it’s only recently made its way stateside. Research shows it regenerates the skin and repairs tissue, which is why celebs like Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Aniston

PDRN Collagen Glow Facial Serum Spray
Kendall Jenner loves this face mist. It’s packed with PDRN, hydrolyzed collagen, and hyaluronic acid. Together, these ingredients hydrate, plump, and firm the skin. Unlike other K-beauty face mists, though, the ingredients are contained in individual capsules. The emerald bubbles are PDRN oil capsules suspended in a lightweight, watery essence. It’s noncomedogenic and safe for sensitive skin and even features makeup-gripping technology that improves the look and wear of foundation and concealer.
AESTURA
Atobarrier365 Cream
Korean moisturizers on the market. It has a thick, cushiony texture that sinks into the skin, leaving no residue behind. Thanks to a ceramide-rich formula, it soothes and moisturizes dry skin. It even plays well with sunscreen and makeup. I’m not the only one who’s obsessed with it. I gave a tube to my brother, and he said, “It changed my skin.”

Airy Sunstick Protection Bar SPF50+ Broad Spectrum
sunscreen sticks; they’re the easiest, most mess-free way to reapply SPF. This is one of my favorite ones. The lightweight formula uses ingredients like ectoin and allantoin to protect the skin from damage, stress, and irritation. Meanwhile, broad-spectrum SPF 50+ keeps the skin safe from the sun. It’s even water-resistant for up to 80 minutes.
