I’m going to go right ahead and make a big assumption: since you’re here, I’m willing to bet you like beauty products.
Did I pass go, and collect $200? Thought so.
And since you love beauty products, you probably also worship at the altar of K-Beauty — right? Because K-Beauty (founded in Korea) is the pinnacle of beauty.
Pioneers of the 10-step beauty routine, K-Beauty has always focused on beautiful skin: glass skin, dewy dumpling, glazed donut — all of it is K-Beauty.
The very core of K-Beauty is getting it right with your skincare (think: hydration and glow goals) so you then don't have to mask the face with heavy coverage (foundation, concealer) and I am VERY into that.
A quick look at my beauty stash also confirms that I am, in fact devout — there are at least five K-beauty products I'm repping at any time.
I try, literally hundreds (maybe even thousands) of products a year as a beauty editor, so those that make the cut into my permanent collection you know are keepers.
Here are a few that live, rent-free in that space.
1. Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide Toner & Moisturiser.
What:
Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide Toner & Moisturiser 170ml
She’s an icon, she’s the moment, she IS the product — and now she’s been reformulated to be even more magic.
K-beauty really defined how we all felt about step two (essences, toners).
Before the world was initiated into K-beauty land, toners were a “nice to have”, but now, they’re a must.
Cream skin works like a skincare primer: it preps, it hydrates and it somehow makes all other skincare just work harder.
The ingredient roll call is downright brag-worthy: White life tea extract and vitamin E for antioxidant protection, glycerin and meadowfoam seed oil for hydration, it lays down like a dream, just milky and hydrating and and as simple as patting onto your skin post-cleanse.
For those on the oilier side it can also cut out a step and be used as a toner/moisturiser, but if you lean towards dry or are on the more… mature side like me, then you’ll want to follow with a moisturiser.
