Our Pick
Krave Beauty
Higher editor rating (8.7 vs 7)
Nature Republic
Nature Republic's Soothing & Moisture Aloe Vera 92% Gel is one of the best-selling K-beauty products of all time, and it earned that status. Beyond their aloe hero, the brand offers solid basics at rock-bottom prices. Not cutting-edge, but dependable and perfect for beginners on a budget.
Pros
- โ Aloe vera gel is a genuine staple
- โ Extremely affordable
- โ Good for beginners
- โ Wide retail availability in Asia
Cons
- โ Rarely innovates
- โ Many products contain fragrance
- โ Ingredient lists can be long
- โ Packaging feels dated
Krave Beauty
Liah Yoo built Krave Beauty the way you wish more brands would โ with a skincare-fatigued YouTube audience in mind, a commitment to stripping back rather than piling on, and one genuine cult hit in Great Barrier Relief. Small catalog, specific mission, loyal fans. Not for people who want a 10-step system. Very much for people whose skin has been yelled at for too long.
Pros
- โ barrier-first philosophy
- โ cult hero in Great Barrier Relief
- โ transparent founder storytelling
- โ no fragrance / no essential oils
Cons
- โ very small catalog
- โ ships mostly US/intl, harder to find in Asia
