[LAST UPDATED AT 5:17 A.M. ET ON NOVEMBER 28, 2025] Today is officially Black Friday, and the best Korean skin-care Black Friday deals are finally live. Some brands surprised us early, others held out for the big day, which means even more K-beauty steals to behold. This is the moment you’ve been training for all year: fingers stretched, warmed up, maybe even fresh off a few pre-shopping hand workouts, so you’re primed to hit “add to cart” at lightning speed. These already-affordable favorites get even sweeter once the discounts hit, and this year’s lineup is stacked with glow-boosting icons—from milky toners and hydrating essences to overnight masks that make your skin feel like a cloud.
Yes, we’ve waxed poetic about K-beauty’s gentle yet effective ingredients before, but can you blame us? Snail mucin brings the bounce, PDRN offers firming benefits, and Centella asiatica keeps your barrier cool, calm, and collected. So whether you’re restocking your ride-or-dies or finally grabbing that viral FYP product you’ve been side-eyeing for months, now’s the time to shop CosRx, Medicube, Laneige, Biodance, and more—including a few standout K-beauty hair and makeup finds, too.

Our Top Korean Beauty Black Friday Deals
Medicube Collagen Night Wrapping Mask
An overnight mask that actually stays on your face throughout the night? “The way my skin looks with a layer of Medicube Collagen Night Wrapping Mask is exactly how I want my skin to look without it: glassy, glowy, and clear,” says Allure features director Dianna Singh. For that, you can thank plumping hyaluronic acid, texture-smoothing niacinamide, and barrier-strengthening ceramide NP.
Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum
Beauty of Joseon’s Revive Eye Cream Ginseng + Retinal is the K-beauty eye cream everyone won’t stop talking about. Ginseng helps calm puffiness, while liposome-encapsulated retinal (a more potent, one-step form of vitamin A) smooths and brightens without the usual irritation. “The custardy formula absorbs almost immediately and makes my undereyes look refreshed and slightly brighter,” says Allure commerce editor Sarah Han.
Aestura AtoBarrier365 Mini Hydrating Best Sellers Kit
If Aestura were in the dictionary, the definition would read: made for sensitive skin. The Aestura AtoBarrier365 Mini Hydrating Best Sellers Kit includes the brand’s foaming cleanser, serum, and fan-favorite cream—all formulated to soothe, strengthen, and seriously hydrate without overwhelming delicate skin. “I love Aestura AtoBarrier 365 Cream as much for what it does for my skin as what it doesn’t: The rich formula is deeply hydrating without causing irritation or congestion,” says Allure features director Dianna Singh.
CosRx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
CosRx’s Snail Booster Kit is basically a glow-up in a box. It includes the TikTok-famous Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence, the 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum, the All-in-One Cream, and the Peptide Eye Cream (a.k.a. everything you need for hydrated, glassy skin). “The texture of the essence is so fun (and surprisingly not tacky seconds after applying), and it gives my skin lots of love, glow, and bounce,” says Han.
Belif Aqua Bomb Eye Gel
The 2025 Best of Beauty Award-winning Belif Aqua Bomb Eye Gel is a refreshing, fast-absorbing formula that tackles puffiness, dryness, and dark circles in one swipe. Infused with caffeine, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and vitamin C, it cools and brightens tired eyes while sinking in instantly.
Ma:nyo Best Sellers Trial Kit
If you spend any time on BeautyTok, you can spot the golden bottle of Ma:nyo’s viral, makeup-melting cleansing oil a mile away, and the Best Sellers Trial Kit lets you test the rest of the lineup, too. This five-piece set also includes a gentle foam cleanser, hydrating toner, brightening ampoule, and comforting cream, giving you a full K-beauty routine in travel-friendly minis.
Laneige Mini Bouncy & Firm Skin Treats
The Laneige Mini Bouncy & Firm Skin Treats set packs all the hits: a mini Bouncy & Firm Serum (which Lee calls “insanely hydrating, gentle, and never sticky”), plus the Eye Sleeping Mask and iconic Sleeping Mask. Each one is packed with the brand’s Peony & Collagen Complex and peptides to help boost and preserve your skin’s natural collagen, so you get visibly firmer, bouncier skin in the cutest sizes (perfect for stocking stuffers).
Rejuran c-PDRN Total Aesthetic Set
The Rejuran c-PDRN Total Aesthetic Set is a full routine for mature skin featuring a turnover ampoule, nourishing cream, revitalizing mask, rebalancing toner, and hydrating lip balm. Formulated with c-PDRN (a regenerative ingredient derived from salmon DNA that boosts repair), it strengthens the barrier and enhances firmness. The star of the lineup, the Turnover Ampoule, is “super lightweight, silky, and almost has this grippiness that doubles well as a makeup primer,” says Han.
Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Redness Reducing Regimen
The Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Redness Reducing Regimen has everything you need to calm irritation fast—a soothing mask, barrier-repairing serum, moisturizer, and the cult-favorite color-correcting treatment with SPF. “The tinted green moisturizer packed with Centella asiatica is my go-to for offsetting redness around my nose and under my eyes. It feels incredibly silky, and the tint blends in seamlessly,” says Lee.
Then I Met You Deep Hydration Essentials
We’ll let you in on a little secret: You can pare down a classic 10-step Korean skin-care routine to just a few in a pinch. The Then I Met You Deep Hydration Essentials Set covers all the bases—melting off makeup, replenishing moisture, and leaving your skin calm, dewy, and perfectly balanced. “The Living Cleansing Balm breaks down even my toughest makeup without irritation, feels nourishing post-rinse, and smells divine thanks to sea buckthorn and persimmon,” says Han.
Biodance Serum Discovery Set
The Biodance Serum Discovery Set is perfect if your skin’s needs change from day to day, with four targeted formulas you can mix and match: plumping Collagen Peptide for firmer-looking bounce, Cera-nol (ceramide + panthenol) for calming, barrier support, Sea Kelp to purify skin, and Vita Niacinamide for a clearer, more even-toned look. “With the cold air and constant wind leaving my skin feeling raw, rotating between these serums has restored my irritated skin,” says contributing commerce writer Christa Joanna Lee.
Saturday Skin Yuzu Bright Besties
Get Saturday Skin’s glowiest trio with the Yuzu Bright Besties set, which includes the eye cream, toner, and overnight sleep mask. As the name hints, each formula is powered by vitamin C-rich yuzu extract—a gold-standard brightener for boosting radiance and evening out tone. Han swears by the mask in particular: “My skin is left immediately radiant but also smoother the next morning.”
Best Korean Skin-Care Black Friday Deals
I’m From Rice Toner
If you’ve ever felt your skin feel tight after a thorough double-cleanse, we feel you. I’m From’s Rice Toner is an ultra-gentle hydrator that replenishes and retains moisture, as well as helps brighten your overall complexion. Besides the namesake ingredient, rice extract, there’s vitamin E and niacinamide to add extra nourishment, despite the lightweight formula. “It’s great for all skin types: For my combo skin, it instantly plumps my skin, giving it a brighter, refreshed look and prepping it for the serums, moisturizers, and sunscreens that follow,” says Han.
Round Lab Birch Moisturizing Sunscreen UVLock SPF 45+
One swipe of Round Lab Birch Moisturizing Sunscreen UVLock SPF 45+ will make you wonder what took you so long to try this viral favorite. “It disappears instantly, makes my skin feel hydrated thanks to the birch sap, and honestly, my only complaint is that it doesn’t come in a jumbo bottle so I can slather it everywhere,” says Lee.
Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule
K-beauty’s favorite calming ingredient gets the star treatment in the Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule, which uses high-grade centella from Madagascar to dial down irritation and support a healthier moisture barrier. “It soothed my breakout-prone skin and even reduced the redness of an active zit—by morning, my skin looked brighter and clearer,” says Allure contributing commerce editor Deanna Pai.
Dr. Althea Aqua Marine Jelly Mist
It looks like a bouncy jelly in the bottle, but Dr. Althea Aqua Marine Jelly Mist transforms into the softest, most refreshing mist that instantly calms skin and perks up makeup. “The mist is so fine that even with a few sprays my skin never feels soaked—just lightly moisturized and refreshed without needing to reach for a cream when I’m in a rush,” says Lee.
Iope Retinol Super Bounce Serum
K-beauty approaches retinol with a gentle, approachable lens, and thank goodness. Thanks to a thoughtful blend of four retinoids—pure retinol, encapsulated retinol, granactive retinoid, and bio-seletinoid—the star ingredient in Iope’s Retinol Super Bounce Serum is activated and unloaded in different timeframes to avoid irritation from the get-go. Balancing out the powerhouse treatment is soothing squalane, cypress leaf, and glycerin, as well as barrier-boosting Lactobacillus ferment lysate.
Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Concentrate Cream
“This K-beauty staple has completely transformed my acne-prone, combination skin,” says commerce writer Lily Wohlner. Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Concentrate Cream delivers up to 120 hours of hydration in a lightweight texture that won’t feel heavy or greasy. With soothing cica extract and soy-derived ceramides, it calms irritation and strengthens the skin barrier for healthier, more resilient skin.
Sulwhasoo Overnight Vitalizing Mask
Sulwhasoo’s Overnight Vitalizing Mask smells like a spa in the best way possible, thanks to its blend of Korean botanicals like ginseng, lotus, and pomegranate. “It absorbs beautifully, leaving just a hint of dewiness, but never in that uncomfortable, hair-sticking-to-your-face way. By morning, there wasn’t a trace of residue—I even forgot to wash it off—and my skin was unbelievably soft, supple, and deeply hydrated,” says Lee.
Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum
Beauty of Joseon’s Glow Serum blends traditional hanbang ingredients with a modern, glow-boosting formula that uses gentle betaine salicylate to smooth texture while propolis, niacinamide, and turmeric calm, brighten, and leave skin soft and balanced. “It sinks in like a jelly without any sticky residue and pairs perfectly with my moisturizers and Beauty of Joseon SPF,” says associate beauty editor Annie Blay-Tettey.
Mediheal Madecassoside Pads
Dealing with sensitive, easily irritated, or breakout-prone skin? Allure senior commerce editor Sarah Felbin reaches for these pads at the very hint of a flare-up: “When I first notice signs of a breakout, I always make sure to grab these.” She loves the thin, soft material and the handy tweezers under the lid, adding that the watery essence “dries down quickly, layers easily,” and leaves her skin “calmer and clearer after a few uses.”
Medicube Booster Pro
“I must say: This is the most powerful device I have ever used,” says editor in chief Jessica Cruel. She tends to use only the Derma Shot and MC Modes in her skin prep routine—and the latter is her favorite for lymphatic drainage before a big event or a live TV taping. “Setting three out of five had my muscles twitching (in a good way). I also like that it has a screen that tracks the time, so I don’t have to keep track of beeps. I find the user experience is better than many microcurrent devices I’ve used in the past.”
Dr. Althea Vitamin C Boosting Serum
Dr. Althea Vitamin C Boosting Serum is a lightweight, brightening formula designed to even tone and revive dull, tired skin. “Even though it’s fragrance-free, it smells like freshly squeezed Florida orange juice—pulp and all,” Abelman says. “Scent aside, I love how dynamic this formula is. It covers all the bases for achieving the healthy skin of your dreams: brightening, hydrating, smoothing, and healing. Texture-wise, it’s viscous and almost gel-like without feeling sticky.”
Dr. Althea Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm
A cleansing balm that works like a pencil sharpener? K-beauty made it—and Dr. Althea Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm is a TikTok favorite and a 2025 Best of Beauty Award winner. Unlike most cleansing balms, which come with plastic spatulas, this one has a built-in dispenser that churns out ribbons of balm like thin sheets of pasta. “It can dissolve my waterproof 3CE and Clio mascaras in one go, which is my ultimate test for any makeup remover—and it never irritates my eyes or makes me break out,” says Allure contributor Sarah Y. Wu.
Mixsoon Bean Essence
Mixsoon’s Bean Essence is a K-beauty favorite packed with fermented soybeans to gently exfoliate, smooth texture, and leave skin looking fresh, bouncy, and glowing. “If you’d rather skip the snail mucin, this Mixsoon essence provides an equally satisfying gooey-but-not-sticky formula that transforms my dull, dry skin into a glowing, plump dream,” says Han. “No wonder it’s gained popularity amongst Korean makeup artists for complexion prep.”
Knours 2-in-1 Oil-to-Foam Cleanser
Leave it to Knours 2-in-1 Oil-to-Foam Cleanser to give you multiple sensorial experiences in one wash. It starts as a silky oil that dissolves makeup and sunscreen, then transforms into a soft, satisfying foam that never strips away moisture. “It’s the combo of jojoba, honey, chamomile, and olive oil that makes this so soothing and nourishing—unlike most foaming cleansers, it doesn’t leave my dry skin feeling tight at all,” says Lee.
Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Probiotics Barrier Essence
Haruharu Wonder’s Black Rice Probiotics Barrier Essence is all about strengthening your skin barrier while giving it a healthy, hydrated glow. Packed with fermented black rice, probiotics, and hyaluronic acid, it helps calm, hydrate, and strengthen your barrier, keeping your skin bouncy and happy.
Torriden Dive In Hyaluronic Acid Facial Mask
If your face is already feeling dried out from the dip in temperatures, the Torriden Dive In Hyaluronic Acid Facial Mask brings instant relief. Each sheet is drenched in multiple weights of hyaluronic acid to deeply plump and soften, leaving skin refreshed in just 10 minutes. “Unlike gel sheet masks, these feel like you could practically squeeze the serum out; I prefer them to gel sheets when I want a major hit of hydration,” says Lee.

Hera Sensual Nude Lip Gloss
If you’re picky about gloss, Hera Sensual Nude Lip Gloss checks all the boxes: lightweight, plush, and glossy without stickiness. “I’m not typically a lip girlie, but I love the feel of these glosses—and all the neutral shades just look like my lips but better,” says Lee.
Lilybyred Starry Eyes Am9 to Pm9 Survival Penliner
The Lilybyred Starry Eyes Am9 to Pm9 Slim Survival Penliner glides on smoothly without tugging and stays put all day, so your day-to-night makeup transition is as smooth as the liner itself. “Korean makeup brands make some of my favorite liquid eyeliners because their tips are ultra-slim and precise, never drag my lids, and truly last—even if I absentmindedly rub at them. I love that Lilybyred has two brown options—black is too harsh for my liking—and it’s hard to beat a $13 price point!” says Han.
Dear Dahlia Mini Trial Kit
The Dear Dahlia Mini Trial Kit pairs a weightless, water-serum Petal Drop Liquid Blush with two hydrating lip favorites—the Paradise Sensual Lip Glow and Paradise Sheer Dew Lipstick—so you can test the brand’s best sellers in portable minis. “The blush is so easy to blend in and gives the perfect subtle pop of color,” says Lee, while the lip duo delivers glossy hydration in a pink beige that flatters every skin tone.
Tirtir Mask Fit Red Cushion Foundation
The viral Tirtir Mask Fit Red Cushion Foundation compact provides buildable, medium-to-full coverage with a surprisingly lightweight texture. Bonus: The long-wearing formula sets to a semi-matte finish that resists oil and humidity, too. “It stays put all day without creasing or caking on my combination skin and gives me a really beautiful, subtle glow,” says Allure contributor Sarah Y. Wu.
Fwee Lip&Cheek Blurry Pudding Pot
Chances are you’ve seen these cute pots all over your FYP. The Lip&Cheek Blurry Pudding Pot packs a real punch of color despite its very small container, so take my word and start with a tiny dab before building it up. If you’re into a blurred, soft-matte look, this one’s for you.
Noonie’s Applepeony Lip Oil is like a juicy drink for your lips. The glossy, non-sticky formula drenches dry lips in hydration while adding a subtle tint and shine that makes them look instantly smoother and plumper.
Best Korean Hair-Care Black Friday Deals
Dr. Groot Scalp Relief Tonic
Dr. Groot Scalp Relief Tonic treats scalp care as skin care by using soothing cica, chamomile, and rosemary oil, plus hydrating panthenol and hyaluronic acid to calm irritation and prevent future dryness. “As a beauty writer who’s constantly testing products, my scalp ends up dry and itchy, and after using this on towel-dried hair for about 10 days, the menthol’s cooling sensation and the overall formula left my scalp noticeably less flaky and irritated,” says Lee.
Mise En Scene Perfect Serum Original
The Mise En Scene Perfect Serum, which launched in 2012, has remained a favorite, thanks to its lightweight yet intensely nourishing blend of argan, olive, coconut, apricot, marula, jojoba, and camellia oils. Instead of weighing hair down, it smooths frizz, locks in moisture, and adds heat protection with a barely-there feel. “I’m upset I didn’t try this sooner—it tames my frizz and flyaways better than any post-wash product I’ve used,” says Han.
CosRx Peptide 132 Hair Bond Repair Treatment
You probably know CosRx for their viral skincare (hello, snail mucin), but their hair care is just as smart—and just as gentle. The Peptide-132 Hair Bond Repair Treatment brings the same skin-loving philosophy to your strands, using a proprietary peptide-132 complex to help repair broken bonds from the inside out. “The treatment is an interesting, thick, almost coagulated texture, and a little bit goes a long way,” says Allure senior commerce director Shanna Shipin.
Unove Deep Damage Hair Treatment Mask
Unove Silk Oil Essence is like a quick makeover for tired, frizz-prone hair. Packed with over 20 proteins, amino acids, and nourishing oils, it smooths, softens, and adds shine—yet still feels lightweight, even on fine or thin hair.
