## Madagascar Centella Ampoule 



#### £15 | SKIN1004 



 

This concentrated serum relies on one of the most famous ingredients in K-beauty: centella asiatica. The natural-derived ingredient (this one is from Madagascar) is known for its anti-inflammatory properties – so sensitive skin types will love it.

## Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics SPF50 



#### £12.40 (Was £15.50) | Beauty Of Joseon 



 

You’ve no doubt seen this silky SPF formula doing the rounds on TikTok. The good news is it won’t sting your eyes – instead, it soothes the skin and sits beautifully under make-up. It’s quickly become an SL favourite.

## Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm 



#### £18.99 | Dr Althea 



 

This gentle but effective balm cleanser is great at what it does but what we love most is the innovative packaging. Designed to deliver the optimum dose without the need to dig a finger into the balm makes it seriously satisfying – not to mention hygienic – to use.

Fragrance-free and safe to use on the most sensitive of skin, this moisturiser is powered by soy-derived ceramides to keep dryness and irritation at bay for up to 100 hours at a time.

## Volcanic Swirl Pore Mask

Another innovative product, this two-in-one mask combines pore-clearing clay with hydrating ingredients so anyone – even parched skin types – can benefit from the deep exfoliation without creating unecessary dehydration.

## Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum 



#### £12.80 | AXIS-Y 



 

Though most K-beauty products focus on prevention, this targeted serum works to reverse pigmentation with niacinamide. It’s still gentle and soothing, but moisture-boosting squalane also ensures the skin is happy and hydrated.
