The Best Prime Day K-Beauty Deals, According to a Korean Beauty Editor

Hear ye, hear ye. Prime Day is here from now through Friday, and we’re hard at work rounding up the best deals for you. As a Korean beauty writer who grew up surrounded by K-beauty products, I’m always thrilled to see how many more of my favorite Korean skin-care and makeup brands pop up in the U.S. each year — and I’m happy to report that quite a few of them are on sale.

I’ve been testing Korean beauty products since long before I had this job — as a wee tween, I wandered shops in South Korea, looking for the formulas that would help heal my acne and make me look like all of my favorite singers and actresses. As a result, I’ve built up quite a personal knowledge base about K-beauty, which allows me to curate only the very best deals for our readers.

Below, check out some of my favorite FDA-compliant Korean sunscreens, ultrahydrating Korean face masks (including that Biodance one), and, of course, the best Korean lip treatments.

For every other deal, head on over to our list of best Amazon Prime Day deals.

My Top Picks

Krave Beauty Beet The Sun SPF 40

This may just be my all-time favorite Korean sunscreen. It’s lightweight, hydrating, and has a subtle sunscreen-y scent I don’t mind. There’s also zero white cast, and it gives me absolutely zero problems under makeup.

Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence

CosRx snail-mucin essence, you will always be famous. It’s a superstar, which is why this is one of our readers’ most-bought beauty products. The formula moisturizes, brightens, and helps heal blemishes — seriously, what can’t it do?

Aestura Atobarrier365 Cream With Ceramide

When my sensitive skin is freaking out and I need to strip my skin-care routine to repair my skin barrier, I turn to this moisturizer. It’s rich (but not too rich) and soothes my skin. Whenever I put my skin through a microneedling treatment or an intense facial, I rely on this to get me through. If you have oilier skin, I’ve also included a more lightweight version below.

Ma:nyo Pure Cleansing Oil Korean Facial Cleanser

Years of squeezing the skin on my nose has led to enlarged pores that clog over and over. If I go too long without using this cleansing oil, which loosens all of that gunk and sweeps it down the drain, my nose feels as bumpy as a cobblestone road. Thank goodness I always have this on hand.

$28.99 at Amazon

Peripera Ink the Velvet Lip Tint

My love affair with Peripera’s matte lip tint began when I was a teen, and I still adore it to this day. The formula looks matte, doesn’t suck all the moisture out of the skin, and blurs the lips. You can overline with it, and folks around you will be none the wiser.

$9.9 at Amazon

Best Korean Sunscreen Deals

This year, I had a selection of Cut editors test well over a dozen Korean sunscreens. This list has a number of our top picks, including the Innisfree (sensitive-eye-friendly) and the Isntree (one editor described it as the “platonic ideal of sunscreens”). Most of these are around 30 percent off right now — a steal, if you ask me.

Best Korean Cleanser Deals

Classic Korean face washes like the Banila Co cleansing balm and the pH-balanced Cosrx cleanser are all marked down at the moment. The Then I Met You cleansing balm is another fan favorite, and I’ve never found a cleansing oil that’s better at banishing blackheads than Ma:nyo’s.

Best Korean Serum & Toner Deals

If you want to give your skin a powerful boost, a well-picked serum is the way to go. The serums below hydrate, strengthen the skin barrier, and soothe irritation. The one from VT Cosmetics is even designed to help ingredients penetrate deeper into your skin.

Best Korean Moisturizer Deals

In my opinion, moisturizer is a must, and you can’t go wrong with a Korean one. They’re usually focused on deeply hydrating the skin while being as sensitive-skin-friendly as possible. I also included a stellar, nongreasy hand cream I discovered last year.

Best Korean Face-Mask Deals

When I’m on an airplane or my skin looks especially dull, I can always turn to a Korean face mask to make my skin happy again. Take advantage of the below deals on popular options. I’ve also included toner pads, which Korean women use to prep their face before makeup and hydrate their skin at the end of a long day.

Best Korean Lip-Care Deals

Laneige’s overnight lip mask is arguably one of the most famous Korean beauty products out there — it’s marked down right now and so is the lip balm version. If you want to branch out, online reviewers can’t get enough of CNP’s lip butter, and the lip scrub from Skinfood is gentle, effective, and smells like strawberries.

Best Korean Beauty-Tool Deals

Our editors love the Medicube Age-R Booster Pro, which is basically a microcurrent device, red-light therapy mask, and microneedling tool in one. A couple of trusty pimple patches are available at a discount now as well.

Best Korean Makeup Deals

Korean skin care might have gotten all the attention in the past decade, but I have a hunch Korean makeup is going to start making waves, too. My picks include an inclusive, full-coverage cushion foundation from TirTir, an affordable lip-plumping gloss from Nature Republic, and a TikTok-viral blush from Fwee.
