Our Pick
Mediheal
Higher editor rating (9 vs 7.5)
Nacific
Nacific is the quiet achiever of K-beauty. Their Fresh Herb Origin Serum is a cult favorite for good reason, and the brand consistently delivers clean, effective formulas at mid-range prices. Not flashy, but reliable and increasingly innovative with their vegan formulations.
Pros
- ✓ Strong botanical formulations
- ✓ Vegan and cruelty-free
- ✓ Fresh Herb line is excellent
- ✓ Good value for the quality
Cons
- ✗ Brand awareness is low outside Korea
- ✗ Packaging could be more premium
- ✗ Some products are hard to find
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
