Hi all! As some of you may know, Hwahae is a very popular skincare app in Korea. They regularly hold awards for skincare products in different categories. Some of you may recognize the logo. I was scrolling through it and what struck me was that a lot of these popular skincare products in Korea don't seem to be that popular outside the country! I don't really see many of them being recommended in Picky as well.
What are your thoughts? Have you tried them or heard of them?
Here are some of the most popular skincare products in Korea in 2020 according to Hwahae (source:
