A head-to-head comparison of two popular K-beauty brands. Which one is right for your skin?
Our Pick
Mediheal
Higher editor rating (9 vs 7.8)
Junglück
Junglück is what happens when a German startup looks at The Ordinary, decides it should cost a bit more but feel a lot nicer, and builds a tightly edited clean-beauty line. The Hyaluron Serum is a solid basic, and the Retinol cream is a respectable entry-level retinoid for European shoppers.
Pros
- ✓ Clean, transparent formulas
- ✓ Approachable pricing
- ✓ Strong on social education
Cons
- ✗ Limited product range
- ✗ Mostly basics
- ✗ Little international distribution
Mediheal
Mediheal is the top-selling skincare brand at Olive Young for two years running — beating more than 3,000 brands. Their sheet masks created the modern sheet mask category, and their Madecassoside Blemish Pad saw 820% year-over-year growth. If you only add one new sheet mask brand to your routine, make it this one.
Pros
- ✓ #1 selling brand at Olive Young
- ✓ Clinical-grade sheet mask formulations
- ✓ The Madecassoside line is category-defining
- ✓ Affordable daily-use pricing
Cons
- ✗ Sheet masks are single-use and generate waste
- ✗ Some older lines contain fragrance
- ✗ Huge catalog can be overwhelming
