Korean beauty products have been a global sensation for years, but finding them in the U.S. hasn’t always been easy. Thankfully, some of the most popular brands are now available at Ulta, making it simpler than ever to refresh your skincare routine. Here are five must-try Korean beauty products that deliver amazing results without breaking the bank.
Dealing with both wrinkles and acne at the same time can be frustrating, but COSRX AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner ($17) is here to help. This multitasking toner gently exfoliates, tackling dullness, rough texture, and signs of aging with AHAs, while BHAs dive deep into your pores to keep them clear and blemish-free—all without irritating your skin.
A single cleanser at night often isn’t enough to remove makeup, sunscreen, and daily grime. That’s where a cleansing balm or oil comes in handy. Banila Co Clean It Zero 3-in-1 Cleansing Balm ($19) is a cult favorite for a reason. Just a small amount melts away the day’s buildup, leaving your skin looking fresher and clearer than when you woke up. It also makes a thoughtful beauty gift for someone special.
No matter how well you care for your skin, the occasional stubborn pimple is inevitable. When that happens, COSRX Pimple Patches ($19) are a lifesaver. While they’re a bit pricey at $19 for four sheets, they’re perfect for tackling those major breakouts that need to disappear fast. Keep them on hand for emergencies, and you’ll be glad you did.
With warmer weather on the horizon, it’s time to give your feet some TLC. If they’ve been hidden away in thick socks and boots for too long, Tony Moly Foot Peeling Shoes ($6.50) will work wonders. Just slip them on while you binge-watch your favorite show, and in about 10 days, your feet will start shedding dead skin, revealing baby-soft heels. Pro tip: Wear socks once the peeling starts to keep things tidy.
K-Beauty is all about achieving that coveted glass skin, and the Peach & Lily Glass Skin Refining Serum ($39) is a game-changer. This powerhouse serum hydrates, smooths fine lines, calms redness, and refines texture all at once. After a few weeks of nightly use, you’ll love how effortlessly radiant your skin looks—so much so that you might find yourself taking endless selfies.
These are just a few of the standout Korean beauty products now available at Ulta. Are any of your favorites missing from this list?
