Isoi
Isoi has been quietly excellent for nearly two decades, but 2025 is its breakout year. The Blemish Care Up Serum picked up multiple Hwahae nods, and dermatology-leaning K-beauty fans have been quietly recommending it for fading post-acne marks for years. Premium-leaning but worth it.

Cons
- โ Premium pricing
- โ Heavier rose scent
