KOREAN SKINCARE HAUL (AMAZON PRIME DAY SALE)

I definitely got sucked into the Amazon Prime Day sale this year... and I have absolutely zero regrets.

I picked up quite a few new K-beauty skincare bits that had been sitting on my wishlist (plus a couple of impulse buys thanks to TikTok), and honestly, I've loved every single one so far!

I've already discovered some new favourites that I can tell are going to become permanent fixtures in my routine, so it's safe to say...this was money well spent!

The Koreans really do know what they're doing when it comes to skincare and I genuinely don't think you can beat K-beauty when it comes to quality, innovation, effectiveness and affordability.

If you're curious to see what I picked up, keep reading...

COSRX 6 Peptide Collagen Serum Face Toner

A really interesting product that I’ve been enjoying.

I went for this because it seemed like a cocktail of ingredients that would really pack a punch – six peptides is no joke!

It’s a great all-rounder if you’re looking for something simple but effective; hydrating, lightweight and really easy to slot into your routine.

medicube No Cast Just Glow Collagen Sunscreen SPF50+

The hype is real with this one.

I kept seeing it all over my TikTok FYP and had to try it for myself.

It honestly does exactly what it says on the tin and gives you the most gorgeous glow.

I haven't tried it under a full face of make-up yet (I still love my Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Aqua-fresh Rice + B5 SPF50+ for that), but for everyday wear, the gym or those effortless "no-makeup makeup" days, it's perfect.

It's already so affordable, but it was even cheaper in the Prime Day sale so I couldn't resist picking one up.

medicube Kojic Acid Turmeric Niacinamide Serum

I do love a brightening, skin tone-evening product and this is a really lovely one.

I've been wanting to try this range for ages and, as an introduction, I'm impressed.

I can't comment too much on the long-term results as I've only been using it for a couple of weeks (and alongside quite a few other products targeting pigmentation and uneven skin tone), but it's one I'm really happy to have in my current rotation.

The texture is lightweight, absorbs beautifully and feels really pleasant to use.

PURITO Wonder Releaf Centella Serum Unscented

A stunning serum that I've been reaching for on barrier repair nights.

It's a simple product that provides soothing support for the skin barrier while calming any irritation.

This is such an affordable option if you're looking for something to use after retinol, microneedling or chemical peels.

Centella is such an incredible ingredient for soothing and repairing the skin, and this formula does exactly that.

medicube Zero Pore Pads 2.0

A product I've been using for quite a while now and an absolute staple in my routine.

I genuinely don't think I'll ever stop repurchasing these.

They're one of my favourite products for make-up prep because they gently exfoliate while also giving the skin a boost of hydration.

They're suitable for most skin types, although if you're particularly sensitive to acids they also do a milder version.

I also love the convenience of the pad format (although I will say the tub is quite bulky, so it's not ideal for travelling).

I usually buy these from LookFantastic, but the Prime Day price was too good to pass up.

medicube Eye Cream with Salmon DNA PDRN & Pink Peptides

Ugh...this product is exactly what I was looking for in a daytime eye cream.

It makes my under-eyes feel hydrated, refreshed and awake, but it sinks in beautifully without feeling heavy, so it's perfect under make-up.

I can definitely see this becoming a staple in my routine.

medicube Salmon DNA PDRN Pink Collagen Jelly Gel Mask

These are sooo good.

I honestly love them just as much as the Biodance masks.

They leave my skin looking incredibly plump and hydrated after just a few hours, but the real magic happens when you wear them overnight.

I've always been a sheet mask girlie, but these overnight gel masks are genuinely changing the game (and my skin!).

medicube Kojic Acid Turmeric Brightening Gold Jelly Gel Mask

I haven't had a chance to try these yet, but if they're anything like the PDRN version then I'm sure I'll love them.

Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic Anti-Wrinkle Serum

My main focus with my daytime skincare is evening out my skin tone while protecting my skin with antioxidants and SPF.

I've been loving layering this over either the Medicube Kojic Acid Serum or the Anua Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Dark Spot Correcting Serum for an extra boost of antioxidant protection and anti-ageing benefits.

The formula is gorgeous and leaves my skin looking beautifully hydrated and glowy.

Mixsoon Bean Essence

This is such a lovely exfoliating essence that I've been rotating on exfoliation nights alongside The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% + HA.

It has that signature sticky, snail-mucin-esque texture that's common in a lot of K-beauty products, but it feels incredibly soothing while still being really effective.

I always wake up with smoother, brighter and glowier skin after using it.

Banila Co Clean It Zero Nourishing Cleansing Balm

This is quickly becoming one of my favourite cleansing balms.

I'm obsessed with the texture - it isn't overly greasy but melts away makeup effortlessly without leaving behind a film.

Compared to something like the Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm, it's not quite as rich or thick, but I actually prefer the lighter, less gloopy consistency.

It's also less than half the price of the Elemis balm, and with the Prime Day discount it was an absolute bargain.

CENTELLIAN24 Expert Madeca Cream Active Renew PDRN

Before this haul, I'd never even heard of this brand and I genuinely can't believe I hadn't discovered it sooner.

This has become my current daytime moisturiser and it is an absolute glass skin dream.

If you're sensitive to fragrance it may not be for you, as it does have a noticeable scent, but the formula itself is beautiful.

It contains the tiniest hint of shimmer which gives the most gorgeous healthy glow without looking glittery.

It's also lightweight enough to layer comfortably underneath SPF and make-up.

CENTELLIAN24 Madeca Cream Time Reverse

When I'm not using my Rhode Barrier Butter or La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5+, this has been my night cream of choice.

Honestly, I don't know what this brand is putting in these creams because they're both so, so good.

This one contains retinol, so if you're already using a retinol or retinal serum (especially something stronger like tretinoin), just bear that in mind.

I'd recommend alternating it with barrier repair nights to avoid overdoing your vitamin A products.

Have you tried any of these products, or is there a K-beauty holy grail that you think I need to add to my wishlist?

I'm always looking for my next skincare obsession!
