Our Pick
Hyggee
Higher editor rating (8.6 vs 8.5)
By Wishtrend
By Wishtrend is Wishtrend in-house brand and it is excellent. Their Pure Vitamin C 21.5 Advanced Serum is one of the most potent L-ascorbic acid serums at its price point, and the Polyphenol in Propolis 15 Ampoule is a cult favorite for acne-prone skin. The brand is the definition of formulator-first K-beauty.
Pros
- ✓ Clinically-potent vitamin C formulations
- ✓ Effective for pigmentation and acne
- ✓ Strong transparency and ingredient education
- ✓ Affordable for the active strengths
Cons
- ✗ Potent actives can be irritating for beginners
- ✗ Vitamin C oxidizes if not stored properly
- ✗ Not for sensitive skin
Hyggee
Hyggee took the Danish "hygge" coziness concept, swapped a 'g' for an 'e', and built a brand around the idea that you don't need 12 steps to have good skin. The All-In-One Essence is the hero — birch sap-led, ferment-rich, and genuinely doing the work of an essence + serum + light moisturizer in one. Whole brand reads minimalist and trustworthy, with a price point that makes sense for the formula quality.
Pros
- ✓ Time-saving without compromising performance
- ✓ Birch sap is a sleeper hero ingredient
- ✓ Beautifully minimal packaging
- ✓ Great for travel
Cons
- ✗ Won't replace targeted serums for treatment goals
