If you saw the amount of Korean beauty products I own, you'd know I have a problem.

But it's an obsession I just can't resist because buying and trying every K-beauty product on the market brings me So! Much! Joy!

What I love about Korean beauty is that there's a huge focus on skin health, which aims to soothe, protect and restore the skin's barrier.

The high-quality formulas are also often made with natural or gentle ingredients wherever possible (think: Centella Asiatica, rice extracts, heartleaf and ginseng, just to name a few). Couple this with affordable prices (well, compared to skincare industry standards) and girl math tells me I'm practically making money.

Now, because of this little addiction of mine, I've gained a reputation amongst friends, family and lovely strangers as the go-to gal pal for all things K-beauty.

I'm always hit with the same questions: What products are actually good? What's worth the social media hype? What's just a passing fad?

And trust me, I get it! It's a true nightmare trying to sift through the millions of TikTok videos all recommending different products.

But that's where I'm here to help.

Contrary to what my overflowing K-beauty cupboards may depict, there are actually VERY few products I would repurchase.

For reference, I have extremely sensitive skin that's prone to any kind of breakout and irritation. Because of this, I have to be very pedantic about the skincare products I use, which means I have no mercy if I have to cull a product from my haul.

After a lot of buying, testing and reviewing, I've categorised products into those I like, those I love and those I AM OBSESSED WITH. And because I believe no one should have to waste their time endlessly researching or spending valuable dollars on so-called viral products that may or may not work, I'm sharing all the K-beauty products that fall into the latter category.

Now, let me introduce you to my Korean skincare ride or dies.
