Best Korean brands that aren't known in western countries

A lot of Korean skincare brands that are known in western countries do a lot of marketing there so it's hard to distinguish between good products and those that are just well marketed. What are some good Korean brands/products that are popular in Korea but not known elsewhere? 🙂

1. Dr.G is such a hidden gem in western countries! I am a loyal users (more than 5 years) for Dr.G, and I had used most of their products! Their moisturizer and spf are top ranked in Korea based on the famous Hwahae apps (korean top beauty apps) and OliveYoung. 2. Aestura. It is the brand that the beauty clinic/dermatologist in Korea normally recommends to their clients after a treatment for recovery. The MD line especially is specially recommended. 3. Beplain. This is one of the most popular brands in OliveYoung, especially because of it's cica ampoule which beats almost any other 'cica' product in selling rank. Many known skin1004 for their centella ampoule in western, but not in Korea. Beplain is the top choice. 4.S.Nature. I decided to include this brand as I see its potential to grow even bigger. The ingredients for each of their product are just GREAT. Their mask and eye cream are top ranked in 2022.

well being from the states I can say that COSRX is the one Korean brand that gets pushed the most specially due to the mucin essence. personally 2 brands that I feel that don’t have much exposure and have products that never miss are Benton, I’m From and Rocectin!

That’s a really good point! I’m glad you asked, and it’s interesting seeing some of the responses so far! Sounds like Dr G is definitely worth checking out, but I’ll have to look into the others as well!
