People’s Choice Awards
We put it to our community to come up with their three favourite Korean beauty products and there were some names that people just couldn’t get enough of. Meet your People’s Choice Award Winners:
No 1 – Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
This cult-favourite essence has been on top of STYLE STORY’s bestsellers list for years. Offering a vitamin hit for your face, it is loaded with replenishing and revitalizing nutrients (including a whopping 96% snail mucin extract) that help to prevent and repair skin damage. Snail mucin is a K-favourite that takes care of everything from dry patches, to acne breakouts while reducing the appearance of uneven skin tone, dullness and redness, giving your skin the ultimate elasticity and hydration.
No 2 – D’alba Piedmont White Truffle First Spray Serum
Having garnered over 10,000 reviews in Korean, this luxury spray serum went viral after it was revealed to be the secret behind Korean airline hostesses’ beautifully hydrated complexions in flight. Strong enough to combat dry cabin air, it is made on a base of white truffles and lotus with avocado oil. It helps to reduce wrinkles, brighten skin and supply moisture.
No 3 – Tosowoong Propolis Sparkle Ampoule
The product that launched the propolis obsession in K-Beauty, this hero serum contains 80% pure bee propolis extract, giving the skin a poreless, smooth finish with a healthy glow. Rich in minerals and a natural anti-inflammatory, it helps to both soothe and nourish the skin.
STYLE STORY’s Best of K-Beauty Awards 2019 Picks
After 5 years in the business we think we know a good Korean Beauty product when we see one. These are our STYLE STORY team’s Best of K-Beauty Awards winners:
Sometimes regular old pimple patches just won’t do! When we need to reach for something that’s stickier, almost invisible on the skin and 100% vegan, cruelty-free, drug and alcohol free then these are our patches. Designed to be used day and night, Perfect Pimple Patches are so sticky they’ll stay in place for days – unless of course you want to take them off!
These patches really are the highest quality hydrocolloid on the market, working to invisibly draw out the gunk, reduce inflammation and the urge to pick on pimples. Available in the perfect size (10mm), they reduce wastage by cutting out on the shapes and sizes that people don’t regularly use and focusing solely on the “Goldilocks” size.
Did we mention the gorgeous holo packaging?!
Tosowoong Spot Whitening Vita Clinic Cream
Our community is always asking for suggestions to help deal with pigmentation, melasma and dark spots and this rich cream is the bomb dot comb. Chok full of brightening Sea Buckthorn fruit extracts it helps to lighten up dull skin tone, pigmentation, melasma and more while also imparting instant hydration to the skin, filling it with vitamins and minerals.
