40 K-Beauty Amazon Prime Day Deals 2024 for Impossibly Dewy Skin

Yes, we know not all viral products live up to the hype for everyone—but what else is new? We adore Cosrx’s Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence because it helps brighten our complexions and helps our subsequent heavy-hitters, like our expensive serums and creams, absorb better. It’s simple math, really.

Niacinamine is one of our favorite brightening, tone-evening, and acne-curbing ingredients—after all, it does a bit of everything. Drop The Niacinamide 15 Serum into your cart and then dispense a few drops (ha) onto your face every day and night to reap the benefits.

What’s better than one peptide? Six, of course. After thoroughly cleansing your face, add a few pumps of this impossibly lightweight fluid into your palms and press into your skin for an intense boost of hydration, plumping, elasticity, etc.

Can’t get enough snail? Us either. Treat your delicate undereyes—and the dark circles and puffiness that annoyingly accompany them—to this brightening, fine-line-firming concoction of snail mucin, niacinamide, and peptides.

Cosrx’s Vitamin E Vitalizing Sunscreen has you covered with SPF 50+ and an antioxidant-rich formula featuring soothing cacao, cotton, and vitamin E blend. And “no white cast” basically goes without saying at this point.

Innisfree’s Daily UV Defense Sunscreen won a 2023 Best of Beauty Award because it’s not only affordable but also absorbs like a dream and leaves behind a dewy finish, with the help of green tea and sunflower seed oil. “Innisfree isn’t messing around when it says ‘no white cast,'” said contributing commerce writer Annie Blackman. It goes on clear, feels soft on my skin, and the bottle is a perfectly portable shape and size.”

The Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Moisture Airyfit Daily Sunscreen is super creamy and hydrating while delivering high protection against UV rays. Soothing niacinamide sweetens the deal.

Another lightweight, nourishing pick, Neogen’s Airy Sunscreen features 20 different plant extracts to hydrate, regulate sebum, and keep skin safe in the sun.

Etude House’s Soon Jung 2x Barrier Intensive Cream is a great pick for sensitive skin. It’s fragrance-free and contains panthenol, which makes for peak moisture absorption, and the low-pH formula is reliably non-irritating.

We also love the super gentle, dewy Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream, which is perfect for dry skin. A dream team of rice bran water, ginseng root water, niacinamide, and squalane boosts moisture levels, curbs sebum secretion, and leaves skin feeling oh so cushiony.

Korean fermentation practices are critical to the power of the Mixsoon Bean Cream—we’re talking fermented bean extract, fermented Korean pear, fermented pomegranate, and fermented barley. The result is a complexion-balancing, hydrating cream, perfect for morning and night application sans greasiness.

Beauty of Joseon’s Red Bean Water Gel is an editor-favorite Korean moisturizer, especially for combination skin. “It’s so lightweight yet packs a punch of hydration and the gel texture gives my skin an immediate cooling/calming effect every morning,” says Allure commerce editor Sarah Han.

You can thank red bean and its saponins (the ingredient’s naturally occurring compounds) for imparting antimicrobial benefits and excess sebum absorption. Shout out to the consistency of the moisturizer, which goes on super smooth and glowy—it’s the perfect base for your makeup.

We love Mixsoon’s Bean Essence for its never-harsh exfoliating properties that hydrate all the while. The non-sticky, fast-absorbing formula uses fermented beans to boost moisture and support the development of softer, more resilient skin. “Korean makeup artists apply this on clients—some of which, K-pop stars—as a makeup prep step because it gently sweeps away any gunk or residue, leaving behind a smooth slate,” Han shares.

Then, there’s the I’m from Rice Toner, which illuminates and strengthens the moisture barrier using goami rice extract (sourced from Yeoju, South Korea). This extract contains hemicellulose, an anti-inflammatory that supports healthy skin microbiota growth.

Indulge in a ginseng moment with this Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Essence Water. This gentle, astringent formula is a good fit for oily and dry skin alike, helping to unclog pores and strengthen the skin barrier.

Tirtir’s Rosemary One Essence helps attract and retain moisture, defend against free radicals, and reduce redness. Fun fact: The rosemary is aged (dried) for 48 hours and extracted three times at varying low temperatures over 120 hours.

The No.5+ Niacinamide Concentrated Toner Pads by Numbuzin are saturated with brightening smooth glutathione jelly (with an assist from niacinamide) on one side and exfoliating cotton gauze on the other. They work to target blemishes and hyperpigmentation.

Tonymoly’s Wonder Ceramide Mochi Toner features a creamy, ceramide-filled formula to hydrate and boost the skin barrier. Gently massage it into your face after cleansing, and enjoy the smoothness that follows.

We’re all about Anua’s Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil. This silky, lightweight formula removes makeup and excess sebum like a dream—a go-to first step in your double-cleansing routine. As always, the heartleaf extract is soothing, and despite the “oil” of it all, the formula is totally compatible with sensitive, acne-prone skin.

Follow up with Torriden’s Dive-In Cleansing Foam Face Wash, which employs eight types of hyaluronic acid molecules for a deep dose of moisture. This combo makes for an ultra-hydrating, free-radical-neutralizing power couple.

Belif makes some of our favorite hydrating skin-care products, and the Aqua Bomb Hydrating Jelly fits right in. Great for dry skin and removing makeup, this formula uses a Napier herbal formula to moisturize without stripping the skin.

The milky CNP Laboratory Deep Cleansing Perfecta washes away makeup and sunscreen, hydrating using birch tree sap and allantoin. It’s non-irritating and well-suited for all skin types.

The Face Shop’s Water Bright Foaming Facial Cleanser is fueled by rice extract to cleanse without stripping moisture. It’s a great match for people with especially clogged pores.

Even if you have naturally oily skin, a cleansing oil can work wonders. This one from Manyo Factory contains plentiful argan oil to wash away a day’s worth of grime while balancing sebum production and pH.

Think eye creams are expensive? Think again: Beauty of Joseon’s Revive Eye Serum is on sale for $15 and that’s not even the best part. The key ingredients in this lightweight formula are retinal (a more effective form of retinol that’s also gentler on skin), ginseng, and niacinamide to smooth fine lines, boost elasticity, and brighten your undereye area. Han vouches for this gel-like formula because it’s non-irritating and absorbs in seconds.

Innisfree’s Green Tea Caffeine Bright-Eye Serum comes with a cooling metal applicator to wake up your undereyes as the formula hydrates and brightens.

Snail is back in action with the Mizon Snail Repair Eye Cream. In this little brown jar, you’ll get a treatment that firms, hydrates, tightens, and softens fine lines. No fragrances or artificial dyes necessary.

Prime Day calls for a retinol re-up, and this pick from Some By Mi is a very solid one. The formula features peptides and niacinamide to soothe, alleviate dark circles, and tackle concerns associated with maturing skin.

Sometimes, life calls for a sheet mask, and Amazon Prime Day calls for a Biodance Real Deep Mask—a duo, in fact, with a couple of the Bio Collagen version and a couple of the Hydro Cera-Nol. You can wear them overnight for peak essence-soaking.

If you’d rather reach for a mask that comes in a jar, the Hanyul Vitamin Sleeping Mask is a winner. Packed with the benefits of the superpower citrus fruit, you’ll get a dose of vitamins C, E, B, A and P that results in brighter skin over time.

Sulwhasoo’s Face Mask clarifies and brightens your skin overnight using antioxidant-rich pomegranate extract and jujube. Use it as the last step of your nighttime routine, three times a week, for noticeably more radiant skin.

Innisfree’s Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask goes on cool, cuts down excess sebum, and exfoliates using AHA. Apply it to areas of the face demanding attention, keep it on for 10 minutes, and wash it off with warm water.

The nourishing formula behind Dr. Groot’s Miracle in Shower Treatment removes pore-clogging buildup and encourages strength and thickness. How? It’s all in the biotin, rosemary, caffeine, and capsulated prebiotics, baby.

Once you’ve treated your scalp, move on to the shampoo portion of the night with the Dr. Groot Hair Thickening Shampoo, which uses the same technology but to cleanse rather than treat. It’s an excellent fit for dry, damaged, or color-treated hair.

Mise En Scene makes some lovely hair-care products, like the Perfect Serum Original. This formula uses argan, olive, coconut, apricot, Marula, jojoba, and camellia oils to boost sleekness and softness, cutting down on frizz all the while.

The Perfect Serum Original Shampoo is the ideal match for the straight-up serum, powered by a blend of Moroccan argan oil and jojoba seed, well-suited for curly hair. It lathers up into a fluffy foam and rinses out to leave behind a silky, coated feeling.

For people who want the most dramatic, deepest black mascara, Clio’s Kill Lash Superproof Mascara is endgame. The hourglass-shaped brush means each lash gets coated, sans clumps.

We love a lip and cheek two-in-one, and the Fwee Lip & Cheek Blurry Pudding Pot leaves a soft matte finish that blends and blurs like a dream. And the shades? Oh so pigmented, nearly infinite, you get it.

Lip tints are the (affordable) pinnacle of Korean makeup, so you don’t really have a reason to not pop one (or more!) into your cart. Peripera is an editor-favorite option for its wide range of lightweight, fresh-looking hues, lush finishes, and non-sticky formulas.

The wand behind Neogen’s Extra Slim Metal Mascara reaches even the shortest, sneakiest lashes for an evenly distributed coat of clump-free color. Once you’ve applied the mascara, rinse the wand and wipe down the gold-plated metal before returning it to the tube.

Whether you’re going for a sensual look or something low-key, this gloss from Hera should do the trick. It’s high shine without stickiness and leaves behind a lovely wash of color. Han isn’t normally a gloss girlie, but Hera’s luxurious, nonsticky formulas have sold her.

We love a little set—particularly this one from Dasique. Complete with a non-chalky, nine-shadow palette and a mini Juicy Dewy Lip Tint to seal the deal. And once you clip the 30% coupon, your total comes out to $10. One for you, one for a lucky friend.
