[LAST UPDATED AT 1:07 P.M. ET ON MAY 6, 2026] If there’s ever a reason to stock up on your K-beauty favorites (or finally try the ones sitting in your cart), it’s Amazon’s Summer Beauty Event—and lucky for us, it’s still going strong. The deals are good—like, restock-your-entire-routine good—with markdowns on glow-boosting serums, skin-plumping face masks, and lightweight sunscreens that actually make you want to reapply. At this point, K-beauty brands may need no introduction (Biodance, Beauty of Joseon, and CosRx, anyone?), but we’re still happy to spotlight our favorites—along with a few newly added finds and some under-the-radar gems worth discovering.

And it’s not just skin care. The sale is packed with makeup picks—think cushion foundations, juicy lip tints, and dreamy blushes—as well as hair-care finds that treat your scalp like skin and leave strands glossy and healthy-looking. Whether you’re chasing that effortless, glassy glow this summer or looking to simplify your routine with multitasking formulas, this is your sign to stock up, especially since K-beauty is already known for being affordable (and now it’s even better on sale).

You’ve probably seen this sci-fi-looking bottle of Anua’s PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Oil Capsule Mist all over your feed—and yes, we can absolutely say it’s worth the hype. Each spritz floods skin with salmon-derived PDRN (a regenerative ingredient thought to help support skin repair, boost elasticity, and give that lit-from-within glow), along with hyaluronic acid and hydrolyzed collagen for hydration and bounce. “You can wear it alone or use it with the Anua Special Collagen Care Melting Patches for a DIY mask moment,” says Christa Joanna Lee, contributing commerce writer. “The glass-skin glow is so real with this one—it does make skin look damp, but it’s not sticky.”
There aren’t that many microcurrent devices we reach for (in fact, fewer than a handful), so when one stands out, it’s a big deal. “I must say: This is the most powerful device I have ever used,” says editor in chief Jessica Cruel. Her everyday setting is the Derma Shot, while the MC Mode is a go-to for lymphatic drainage before a big event. “I find the user experience is better than many microcurrent devices I’ve used in the past.”
We all wish we were getting eight hours every night, but undereye masks are a clutch a.m. pick-me-up. CosRx’s Peptide Collagen Eye Patches deliver a cooling hit of hydration while helping to depuff, smooth, and brighten, thanks to niacinamide, caffeine, and peptides. “They make my undereye area feel soft, smooth, and supple,” says Annie Blay-Tettey, associate beauty editor.
If serums are your everyday staples, ampoules are basically boosters—typically more tightly concentrated with actives and designed to kick your results up a notch. This Rejuran injectable-packed formula comes from the makers of Korea’s buzzy Rejuran injectable, so while it won’t mimic the exact results you’d get in-office, Rejuran’s Turnover Ampoule offers a much more approachable (and needle-free) way to tap into those benefits. “The more I use this serum, the more lifted my skin looks,” says Sarah Han, commerce editor.
Come for the TikTok-worthy peel-off moment, stay for the glass skin. Biodance’s Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask is an overnight sheet mask packed with ultra-low-molecular-weight collagen and hyaluronic acid to deliver all that plumping, glow-boosting goodness deeper into the skin. “By morning, my skin feels deeply hydrated with zero effort as it does its thing while I sleep,” says Lee.
If you’ve been around here for a minute, you’ve probably seen (and rewatched) this video of our editor peeling off the viral Medicube Collagen Night Wrapping Mask. “The way my skin looks with a layer of this mask is exactly how I want my skin to look without it: glassy, glowy, and clear,” says Dianna Singh, features director. It forms a soft, flexible film over your face that locks in moisture and active ingredients while you sleep, with hyaluronic acid to plump, niacinamide to smooth and refine, and ceramides to help seal in hydration and support the skin barrier.
We could fill our carts with Korean sunscreens alone (yes, they’re that good), but this one is especially worth it. Laneige’s Hydro UV Defense Sunscreen has a silky, fluid texture that feels more like skin care than SPF, thanks to glycerin and the brand’s hydro-ionized mineral water (a blend of magnesium, calcium, and zinc salts that help support the skin barrier, balance hydration, and keep things calm). It also doesn’t pill or look cakey (even over makeup, per our tester), so reapplying every two hours is actually doable.
From waterproof eye makeup to long-wearing lip stains, this cleansing balm doesn’t mess around. “Its makeup-removing abilities are unmatched,” says Jennifer Hussein, contributing writer. One dollop of the sorbet-like formula melts into skin, breaking down full-coverage makeup with zero aggressive rubbing, while a blend of five cica extracts helps soothe and comfort sensitive skin.
Another mask made to work while you snooze (what can we say, we love a multitasker), Sungboon Editor’s Deep Collagen Overnight Mask is packed with collagen and multiple peptides for a serious hydration boost that’s still gentle enough for sensitive skin. And don’t worry, it actually stays put: “I roll around a lot when I sleep, and it was still tacked to my face when I woke up,” says Sarah Hoffman, commerce producer.
Give Beauty of Joseon’s Revive Eye Serum a few weeks, and it might just settle the whole “do you really need an eye cream?” debate (turns out, you do). “It has a lightweight, custardy-gel texture that absorbs almost immediately and makes my undereyes look a tad brighter and less puffy the next morning,” says Han. Stabilized retinal delivers smoothing benefits with less risk of irritation, ginseng helps revive dull, tired-looking skin, and glycerin keeps everything comfortably hydrated.
One pump of this editor’s favorite and you’ll wonder what took you so long to try CosRx’s The 6 Peptide Skin Booster. “I’m obsessed with the texture,” says Han. “I use this as a toner, a.k.a. the first step following cleansing, and I like that it’s not watery—more akin to a lightweight gel serum.” True to its name, it’s loaded with peptides to help balance excess oil, boost elasticity, and bring back that glow.
No promises that by the time you finish reading this, Medicube’s No Cast Just Glow SPF 50 will still be in stock. (Could our resident K-beauty expert calling it “the glowiest sunscreen ever” have something to do with it? We think so.) Niacinamide helps brighten and even things out, while hyaluronic acid floods skin with hydration for a plump, fresh look. Collagen and peptides bring the bounce, and a hit of soothing Centella asiatica keeps everything calm and happy.
“I’m always on a quest to find products that boost my skin’s glow, and this niacinamide-based serum has been a great addition,” says Blay-Tettey. Inspired by Korea’s Joseon Dynasty, which celebrated graceful, natural elegance, it helps smooth uneven texture and refine the look of pores with betaine salicylate (a gentle beta hydroxy acid), while turmeric pairs with niacinamide to brighten and calm skin.
Hyaluronic acid isn’t exactly new, but Torriden’s Dive In Soothing Cream takes it to the next level with five types that leave skin feeling practically drenched. Hee Jin Koh, MD, a board-certified dermatologist based in New Jersey, keeps this on her vanity for its featherlight gel-cream texture that layers well under sunscreen and makeup. “The experience of applying this cooling, refreshing cream is just 10/10 all around,” says Han.
Ma:nyo’s Cleansing Oil is an Allure editor favorite that’s stood the test of time—more than a decade after its debut, it’s still picking up a 2025 Best of Beauty Award, which says a lot. Packed with 14 antioxidant-rich plant oils, it moisturizes and plumps while argan kernel oil helps balance sebum and support cell turnover for a smoother-looking complexion. “It’s the only reason my facialists are always telling me there’s no need for extractions,” says Nicola Dall’Asen, former senior news editor.

When you want your mascara to do it all—volumize, lift, and lengthen—Clio’s Kill Lash Superproof Mascara needs to be in your rotation. “Even my tiny, stubby lashes get definition and thickness—and importantly, no smudging,” says Lee. The slim brush is especially forgiving on short lashes, catching them right at the root without smearing.
No matter your age, we firmly believe there’s room for a little sparkle moment. Unleashia’s Glitterpedia Eyeshadow Palette delivers just that. It mixes matte, shimmer, and multidimensional glitter shades that feel surprisingly wearable—even for everyday looks. “I like how they brighten and emphasize my eyes without creating shadows, and there’s very little (if any!) blending required,” says Han.
Clio’s Kill Cover Founwear Cushion comes in a sleek compact that makes applying your base almost too easy. Press the puff into the mesh, and it dispenses just the right amount of product without any spillage. “While it’s buildable, you won’t really need multiple passes for it to even out your skin tone,” says Lee. Like many cushion foundations, shade ranges can skew limited—K-beauty brands have historically catered to a narrower spectrum—but this one is a bit more impressive, with 20 shades to choose from. Plus, the lightweight, peptide-infused formula isn’t heavily pigmented, giving it a little more flexibility across tones.
These Hwahae (Korea’s go-to beauty review app) chart-topping lip stains are very affordable—even before the discount—come in a wide range of hues, and feel as hydrating as a balm. “Whether you like to go subtle or bold, this tint is incredibly buildable and accommodates all preferences,” says Han.

Whether you wear it solo, swipe it on as a hydrating base, or layer it over lip color for extra sheen, CNP’s Propolis Lipcerin Lip Balm feels less like a waxy balm and more like a treatment for dry lips. “It’s a thick consistency, thanks to the propolis (a.k.a. ‘bee glue,’ which is antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory), but it instantly melts onto lips like butter—and lasts,” says Sarah Kinonen, beauty director.
Whenever you need a break from full-coverage foundation—or if a more natural look is just your speed—Dr. Jart+’s Premium Beauty Balm is a my-skin-but-better go-to. It seamlessly evens out skin tone with a blend of soy, licorice, vitamin C, niacinamide, and arbutin, that “evens out imperfections while still looking light and natural,” says Lily Wohlner, former commerce writer. And with SPF 40, it adds a little extra insurance on top of your standalone sunscreen.
Hera
Sensual Tinted Shine Lip Serum
If you were just looking at the ingredient list, you might think this was a face serum, but it’s actually for lips. Hera’s Sensual Tinted Shine Lip Serum blurs the line between skin care and lip color, relying on multiple forms of hyaluronic acid to pull in and lock in moisture, plus squalane, camellia seed oil, and ceramides to reinforce the lip barrier and smooth dryness. It repairs dry, chapped lips while leaving behind shiny, long-lasting color (proof that your lips can glow just as much as your skin).
Jung Saem Mool
Artist Cushion Highlighter
It’s a bummer when you’ve spent all that time perfecting your base only for your highlighter to lift it right off. Jung Saem Mool’s Artist Cushion Highlighter sidesteps that issue completely, allowing you to tap on a dewy, multidimensional glow without lifting or smearing what’s underneath. It’s also infused with ceramides and peptides, so while you’re getting that fresh, lit-from-within finish, you’re also helping support your skin barrier and comforting skin. Win-win.

Rom&nd
Better Than Cheek
If you love a hint of color with that skin-like, soft-matte finish, Rom&nd’s Better Than Cheek melts in so seamlessly—no telltale powder streaks in sight. The shades, soft pastels inspired by dried fruits (Strawberry Milk is the dreamiest pink), add a fresh, diffused wash of color that’s trending everywhere right now.
Tirtir
Mask Fit Waterproof Setting Spray
What’s the point of a fresh summer makeup haul if it’s just going to melt off in the heat? TirTir’s Mask Fit Waterproof Setting Spray locks everything in place for up to 24 hours, holding strong through sweat, humidity, and pool days without feeling sticky or heavy. It leaves behind a breathable, semi-matte finish that stays fresh and comfortable on all skin types.

Did you hear? Medicube is now offering hair care, which makes sense given that K-beauty has always treated the scalp like the rest of your skin. The Rosemary PDRN Clarifying Thickening Shampoo pairs soothing, barrier-supporting PDRN with circulation-boosting rosemary to help reduce flakes, calm itchiness, and support fuller-looking hair. “The tingly-ness of this shampoo feels so refreshing and revitalizing on my scalp,” says Lee. “I’ve noticed less itchiness, a boost in volume, and fewer flakes.” The corresponding conditioner contains the same ingredients and is meant to be used directly on the scalp, not just the mid-lengths to ends.
We debated a separate hair-care section on this list—after all, K-beauty treats the scalp like skin. Aromatica’s Rosemary Root Enhancer is all about TLC for your scalp by blending nutrient-rich staples like rice, soybean, and sesame with ginger, rosemary oil, and a hit of menthol for an instantly refreshed feel. “This cooling root spray curbs any itchiness and discomfort,” says Han.
CosRx is here to match glass hair with your glass skin. Its Peptide-132 Hair Bonding Oil is a lightweight fix that helps strengthen damaged bonds, smooth frizz, temporarily seal split ends, and add glossy shine—without weighing hair down. “This hair oil serum has also been great with extra dry ends and doesn’t leave your hands feeling super greasy,” says Shanna Shipin, senior commerce director.
Packed with argan oil, amino acids, and keratin-like proteins, Mise en Scène’s Argan Oil Repair Mask mends dry, damaged, or overprocessed hair to leave it soft, glossy, and tangle-free. “It’s surprisingly rich for a K-beauty product,” yet delivers deep moisture without leaving hair feeling coated, says Marie Jhin, MD, a board-certified dermatologist based in San Carlos, California.
Despite the name, British M’s Hair Butter is anything but greasy. Shea butter and argan oil provide deep hydration, while hydrolyzed collagen, oat protein, and sweet almond protein help strengthen dry, weakened strands. The texture feels “rich but breathable,” delivering frizz control and definition without weighing down hair, says Cherin Choi, a hairstylist and colorist based in Los Angeles.
