Why we love it: Glamour’s Beauty Commerce Writer Shani Cohen says, “This set is a dream for anyone who wants to dip into Korean skincare without having to build a routine from scratch – because let’s be honest, a 7-step routine sounds a little overwhelming. I’ve been a fan of the brand for a while now (especially the Revive Eye Serum) which instantly tames down my puffy morning eyes. I also think it’s pretty well priced – considering you’re getting seven full-sized products to stock on your skincare shelf.”

Best for Double Cleanse: Haruharu Wonder Cleanse And Glow Set

Haruharu Wonder Cleanse And Glow Set

If you’re shopping for someone with sensitive or easily irritated skin, the Haruharu Wonder Cleanse & Glow Set is such a good find. The trio is powered by the brand’s hero ingredient, black rice – rich in antioxidants to soothe, hydrate and brighten – and includes the Black Rice Moisture Deep Cleansing Oil, Black Rice Triple AHA Gentle Cleansing Gel and Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner. Together, they create the perfect everyday routine for clean, calm and glowy skin.

Why we love it: Glamour’s Beauty Commerce Writer Shani Cohen says, “This set is ideal for my dry, reactive skin. It gives that proper deep cleanse without leaving my face feeling stripped, and the toner adds just the right amount of hydration.”

Best for K-Beauty Beginners: Anua Glass Skin Essential Bundle

Anua Glass Skin Essential Bundle

One of the most well-known Korean beauty trends is the glass-skin look – where skin appears fresh, glowy, and textureless. Anua bottled up this notion with a four-piece skin care set. It comes with the brand’s Heartleaf Oil Cleanser, Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam, Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner, and Niacinamide Serum, all of which help address uneven skin tone, dark spots, and congested pores. The double-cleanse system also ensures that you’re getting a very clean complexion every time.

Why we love it: Glamour’s Kilkeary, in particular, is a fan of the Anua Niacinamide Serum. “This gentle formula sinks right into the skin and leaves your complexion looking and feeling even-toned and fresh. It’s non-sticky, too, and really has made a difference in my skin clarity after using it for a couple of weeks now,” she says.

Best With Snail Mucin: COSRX The Perfectly Prepped Skincare Routine

COSRX The Perfectly Prepped Skincare Routine

CosRx is by far one of our favourite K-beauty brands due to their hero ingredient of snail mucin, which helps improve the skin barrier and addresses inflammation, acne, and redness. This Perfectly Prepped Skincare Routine set is like a shortcut to dewy, glassy skin, featuring three of the brand’s bestsellers. The Low pH Good Morning Cleanser gives you that fresh, clean feeling without stripping your skin, the 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum adds brightness and bounce, and the Snail Mucin All-in-One Cream (yes, the viral one) floods skin with hydration and leaves it looking juicy in the best way.

Why we love it: Glamour’s Beauty Commerce Writer Shani Cohen says, “COSRX is one of those K-beauty brands that never misses. The Snail Cream is a staple in my routine – it’s lightweight, super hydrating, and gives my skin that plump, juicy feel without being greasy. I love layering it over the 6 Peptide Serum when my skin needs an extra boost – it’s like a mini facial at home.”

Peach & Lily Glass Skin Discovery Kit

If you or your giftee are new to K-beauty, we highly recommend getting a taste of it with this four-piece set from Peach & Lily. The starter kit comes with the Peach & Lily Gel Cleanser, Glass Refining Serum, Matcha Pudding Antioxidant Cream, and Wild Dew Treatment Essence to soften, even out, and refresh the skin. Bonus: All are in travel sizes, so you can pop them into your toiletry bag.

What our testers say: Glamour’s Kilkeary always finds herself reaching for the Peach & Lily Gel Cleanser when she’s in need of a deep clean. “This pick is by far one of the best cleanses I’ve tried—it thoroughly removes every bit of makeup and gunk in my pores. It never leaves my skin feeling stripped or dry, either, and instead makes it feel soft, velvety, and fresh.”

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask Kit

Laneige is our go-to for all things lip hydration. The brand’s iconic sleeping mask is one our editors won’t go a night without—and the good news is that this set contains three mini sizes with limited-edition flavours: Chocolate, Caramel, and Eggnog Latte. It comes with the brand’s new glowy lip balms in Vanilla and Sweet Candy, which we like to pair with a lip liner for a glossy finish.
