Allure commerce editor Sarah Han applying Rejuran Turnover Ampoule
Sarah Han
If serums are your everyday staples, ampoules are basically boosters—typically more tightly concentrated with actives and designed to kick your results up a notch. This Rejuran injectable-packed formula comes from the makers of Korea’s buzzy Rejuran injectable, so while it won’t mimic the exact results you’d get in-office, Rejuran’s Turnover Ampoule offers a much more approachable (and needle-free) way to tap into those benefits. “The more I use this serum, the more lifted my skin looks,” says Sarah Han, commerce editor.

Come for the TikTok-worthy peel-off moment, stay for the glass skin. Biodance’s Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask is an overnight sheet mask packed with ultra-low-molecular-weight collagen and hyaluronic acid to deliver all that plumping, glow-boosting goodness deeper into the skin. “By morning, my skin feels deeply hydrated with zero effort as it does its thing while I sleep,” says Christa Joanna Lee, contributing commerce writer.

If you’ve been around here for a minute, you’ve probably seen (and rewatched) this video of our editor peeling off the viral Medicube Collagen Night Wrapping Mask. “The way my skin looks with a layer of this mask is exactly how I want my skin to look without it: glassy, glowy, and clear,” says Dianna Singh, features director. It forms a soft, flexible film over your face that locks in moisture and active ingredients while you sleep, with hyaluronic acid to plump, niacinamide to smooth and refine, and ceramides to help seal in hydration and support the skin barrier.

Hydro UV Defense EX Sunscreen SPF 50+
We could fill our carts with Korean sunscreens alone (yes, they’re that good), but this one is especially worth it. Laneige’s Hydro UV Defense Sunscreen has a silky, fluid texture that feels more like skin care than SPF, thanks to glycerin and the brand’s hydro-ionized mineral water (a blend of magnesium, calcium, and zinc salts that help support the skin barrier, balance hydration, and keep things calm). It also doesn’t pill or look cakey (even over makeup, per our tester), so reapplying every two hours is actually doable.

From waterproof eye makeup to long-wearing lip stains, this cleansing balm doesn’t mess around. “Its makeup-removing abilities are unmatched,” says Jennifer Hussein, contributing writer. One dollop of the sorbet-like formula melts into skin, breaking down full-coverage makeup with zero aggressive rubbing, while a blend of five cica extracts helps soothe and comfort sensitive skin.
