I’ve become particularly attached to the Missha Artemisia Calming Essence, which has been so soothing for my skin and somehow makes everything I put on afterward feel better. In fact, it sets me up perfectly for the Iunik Beta-Glucan Serum, a holy-grail hydrator that I reach for every day. Korean beauty has given me plenty of these little discoveries over the years, from skincare that makes my skin feel calmer to hair and body products I didn’t know I needed until my colleagues recommended them. So, naturally, I curated a list of 20 favorites that myself and my fellow beauty editors have accumulated along the way. (I can truly vouch that all of these products have worked for me and my crew.)
