15 Places to Shop When You Want the Best K-Beauty Products

Those of us who have pledged allegiance to K-Beauty (and poured hard-earned dollars into it) understand that the East Asian beauty influence is a total game-changer — particularly in the skincare field. If your medicine cabinet is filled with cute packaging containing face masks, lotions and powders, you’re deep in the game. The only downside to this K-beauty addiction? Getting your fix and knowing exactly where to buy Korean products in the U.S.

You can find lots of your favorite products on eBay at really reasonable and competitive prices, but the catch is that it’s hard to tell if the product is genuine, and it takes forever to get to your door since they ship from, well, Asia. Bookmark this handy list of all the places to buy K-beauty goods with US distributors so you can stock up on everything you love, ASAP. Some places you already visit, such as Sephora and Ulta (surprise!) and others you might never have heard of before. Sit back and shop right from your couch or your phone and grab these stellar K-beauty products.

Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. d’Alba Piedmont is a STYLECASTER sponsor, however, all products in this article were independently selected by our editors. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale.

Soko Glam

By now, you’ve probably seen Charlotte Cho extol the virtues of her favorite Korean beauty products. Well, Soko Glam is her shopping HQ. You’ll find a highly curated selection of Korean skincare products from brands such as d’Alba Piedmont and Neogen, as well as color cosmetics. If it’s on Soko Glam, it’s already a cult product in Korea. Not sure what to try? Check out “The Klog,” where Cho writes about all the new products she’s trying, star ingredients to look out for, and K-beauty trends. She’s even launched her own skincare line, Then I Met You.

Glow Recipe

Sarah Lee and Christine Chang founded Glow Recipe after working together at L’Oreal. The site first started as a K-beauty e-retailer stocking other brands, but as success grew, so did a brand new brand: Glow Recipe Skincare. The duo has had huge success with its watermelon and avocado-based lines.

The Crème Shop

This ultra-affordable Korean beauty brand is known for its cute collabs with Hello Kitty, Trolls and Line Friends. There’s almost nothing this company doesn’t make — in adorable packaging, of course — including skincare, color cosmetics, body products, spa accessories, beauty tools, face masks and more. Almost every best-selling products costs less than $10.

Dermstore

You might not expect Dermstore to be your spot for K-beauty goodies, the luxe retailer has some of the best brands around. While you’re picking up Olaplex faves and awesome value sets, be sure to add Korean products from CosRx, 3Lab and Boscia, too. You won’t be sorry.

Target

Don’t think Target is just here for your drugstore beauty needs. There are those too, of course. But while you’re picking up your usual favorites (plus, new clothes and toilet paper and basically everything else!), click on over to the Korean beauty section and find stellar brands including Sweet Chef, I Dew Care and AHC.

Nordstrom

Like Target, Nordstrom stocks some of the best beauty brands around. But unlike Target, Nordstrom’s are of the luxe variety. That goes for Korean beauty, too. We’re big fans of Amorepacific and Sulwhasoo, two Korean skincare brands that aren’t cheap but are worth the money. Keep an eye on them during Nordstrom’s big yearly sales.

AKOCO

The newest kid on the stateside block is a hodgepodge of every K-beauty brand you can think of, whether it’s high-profile or an indie darling. In addition to curating an extensive range of hair, makeup and skin essentials, AKOCO (an acronym for All About Korean Cosmetics), also has a blog where shoppers can read reviews and preview the monthly subscription box.

Peach & Lily

A playground for skincare junkies, Peach & Lily is your go-to for highly vetted K-beauty products, including its own namesake brand. Founded by Alicia Yoon, a Harvard Business grad who went from beauty enthusiast to skincare expert, she fills the digital shelves of Peach & Lily with products she’s tried herself and sourced from her many trips to South Korea. The best part of this store? The variety. You’ll find lesser-known K-beauty brands (like Shangpree) alongside ones you’ve probably seen around (like Clio), plus the stellar in-house line, so you’ll always have something new and amazing to try.

Urban Outfitters

The beauty section of Urban Outfitters has become its own oasis of fun, international beauty brands. It offers a decent amount of K-beauty color cosmetics and skincare from bigger brands like TonyMoly, Holika Holika, and Skinfood. If you’re a K-beauty newbie, this is a great first stop. Not all UO stores carry every K-beauty brand featured on its website, but you can get a touch and feel of the products you’re considering, all while you’re browsing for your next ‘fit.

TonyMoly

This K-beauty giant has a firm hold in the US market‚ since many of its greatest hits are already found in mainstays like Sephora. Previously, you couldn’t find their full range of products unless you visited one of their shops in Manhattan or Los Angeles — but now it has a fully-stocked online store. Now you can buy your Panda hand creams and Bunny face misters at midnight and have them in the amount of time it takes to ship from NYC.

Missha

Famed for its skincare, Missha’s US webshop is the ultimate K-beauty destination. The best part of this store? Not only is shipping incredibly fast, but it always seems to be having a sale, offering up to 40 percent off the products you already wanted to try (hint: we suggest the cult BB creams). It’s also worth signing up for their newsletter so that you’ll know the second new products come in.

This tiny boutique in Chinatown, NYC, is pretty much the gateway to all the new K-beauty products. With a wide range of skincare, haircare, and color cosmetics, you can just as easily find 10 new things to try as well as pick up your staples. If you’re not in NYC, it has an online shop that ships throughout the US. It also offers member discounts and freebies for frequent buyers — score.

You may not have spotted them among their hundreds of brands, but Sephora has been gradually stocking some higher-end Korean skincare brands — Glow Recipe, Dr. Jart+, Erborian and its very own Primera — with some fun color cosmetics from TonyMoly and Touch In Sol.

Amazon

Don’t dismiss Amazon as just a place to buy your favorite K-beauty staples. The company partnered with multiple stellar Korean beauty brands to stock their skincare, haircare and color cosmetics. We especially love I’m Meme, Etude House and The Face Shop.

Ulta

You already shop at Ulta for its killer mix of both luxury and affordable products. We’ve been continually impressed with the way its added Korean beauty products to the mix, including Hanskin, Belif and I Dew Care.
