The results are in and we are excited to share with you the Best of K-Beauty winners for 2023.
You'll likely recognise many of this year's winners because they are similar to years gone by. This year's results were selected on the basis of sales, meaning these were also the top-selling products for the year.
Continuing their streak at the top of the best-seller's list are these luxury acne patches. They're popular because they are the thinnest, most invisible options on the market. Made with hydrocolloid and zero added ingredients (making them perfect for sensitive skin) these truly are a class above.
If you get pimples in hard-to-reach places (like the side of the nose or around your mouth) then these are your patches. The thinness, stickiness and absorptive powers of Subi's patches means they stay in place long enough to effectively tackle the pimples that other patches can't.
The #1 best-selling moisturiser based off bubble tea is a delicious hydrating drink for your face. It contains super ingredients Niacinamide, Vitamin E, Beta Glucan, Pearl, Squalane, Sodium Hyaluronate, Panthenol, Arginine, Adenosine and Allantoin.
Not only is it perfect for dry skin, it also works wonders on dull, dehydrated, rough and lackluster skin types as well.
If you feel like your ordinary moisturiser doesn't sink into the skin but just sits on top then you'll love this skin-softening cream.
Did you know that the products that you put on overnight while you sleep have the biggest ability to impact your skin? That's because the skin does the majority of its repairing at night, while you're in a state of deep sleep.
If you're looking to make the most of your skin's "Golden Time" then go to bed with the Best of Beauty Award-winning Sleeping Mask. Not only will it soften, hydrate and boost your skin's natural glow, you'll wake up to plump, smooth jelly skin the next morning.
When you need to take it off – ALL off – Subi’s Bare Skin Balm helps remove everything from your skin. A few minutes massaging Bare Skin Balm into your face is all you need to completely remove makeup, sunscreen and grime from your face.

Subi's super-effective formula is 100% free from alcohol, silicones, mineral oil, synthetic fragrances or colours, sulfate detergents, parabens, urea, DEA, PEGs, TEA or phthalates.
