At KoreanGlow.in, our daily world revolves around testing, researching, and discovering the best in K-Beauty. With so many formulas crossing our desks, only a few become true standouts — the ones we finish, repurchase, and can’t stop recommending.
Today, we’re sharing the Korean Glow Team’s Most Loved K-Beauty Essentials — the products that earned a permanent place in our routines. Whether you're a beginner or a long-time K-Beauty lover, these essentials are guaranteed to elevate your glow.
1. ANUA Heartleaf 77% Cleanser — Gentle, Refreshing & Perfect for Daily Use
One of the most-used cleansers in our office! The ANUA Heartleaf Cleanser creates a soft foam that deeply cleanses without stripping your skin. Perfect for sensitive, acne-prone, and oily skin types.
Why the team loves it:
✔ Removes impurities without drying
✔ Calms redness & irritation
✔ Lightweight and suitable for all skin types
2. The Ordinary Glycolic Acid / Toning Solution — Texture-Smoothing Icon
A global favorite that works amazingly alongside K-Beauty. The Ordinary toner exfoliates dead skin, brightens dullness, and smooths rough texture. It helps other products absorb better and keeps the skin looking fresh and refined.
Why it’s a must-have:
✔ Improves skin texture
✔ Fades dark spots gradually
✔ Helps control oil + clogged pores
3. VT Reedle Shot (Retinol Alternative) — The Texture-Refining Game Changer
While retinol can be strong for many people, VT’s Reedle Shot technology delivers gentle micro-penetration with minimal irritation. It helps refine skin texture, reduce fine lines, and promote a youthful, smoother complexion.
Team favorite because:
✔ Improves skin texture
✔ Gives a visible glow boost
✔ Works well even for sensitive skin types
4. Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum — The Dewy Glow Booster

5. COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Essence — The Repairing Essential
A cult classic for repairing damaged, dry, or irritated skin. The high concentration of snail mucin delivers deep hydration, improves elasticity, and speeds up skin healing.
Why it’s unbeatable:
✔ Repairs barrier damage
✔ Smooths uneven texture
✔ Hydrates deeply without heaviness
6. d’Alba White Truffle First Spray Serum — Instant Hydration + Glow
This luxurious mist-serum is a team desk essential. A quick spritz delivers moisture, radiance, and a silky finish.

✔ Perfect before or after makeup
7. Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun SPF50 — Lightweight, No White Cast
