LG Pra.L is the beauty device arm of one of Korea biggest electronics companies, and it shows.

Priced at the top of the market but worth it for serious device enthusiasts.

Cons

✗ Very expensive
✗ Styling can feel overly clinical

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.
