Best K-Beauty Products 2018

17 K-Beauty Products That Are So Damn Good, Peach and Lily Gave 'Em Awards

When it comes to Korean beauty products, there's no shortage of unique innovations. Seriously, it seems like a new K-beauty invention hits the market (and our beauty collection) every day. But what truly separates the most remarkable products from the mere average?

K-beauty hub Peach and Lily scanned its dedicated community of beauty-lovers, conducted surveys, and vetted hundreds of formulas to uncover items worthy of its first-ever Best of K-Beauty seal of approval, and we have your first look at the entire list!

Peach and Lily founder Alicia Yoon told us that even though the brand prides itself in offering only the best products to its fanbase, the BOKB awards were created to spotlight products that will truly help people toward their best skin ever.

"We wanted to do this award series to truly highlight those products that let people pull off some unbelievable skincare results; these products have helped severe cystic acne go away, and firm and lift skin visibly and quickly. This award series is our way of helping people in their journey toward a lifetime of healthy skin by spotlighting those truly game-changing products," Alicia said.

Ahead you'll find the complete roundup of all the winners from the first annual BOKB awards, and reasons to love each product from Alicia herself. If you've been struggling with achieving glowing skin, or if you're just in the market for new K-beauty goods (because, TBH, you can never have enough), you'll be sure to love something on this list.
