PhilosophyThe US-based K-beauty curator turned brand founder — Alicia Yoon's clinical lens on Korean skincare.Liah Yoo's "press reset" philosophy: strip skincare back to what the barrier actually needs.

Peach & Lily

Alicia Yoon built Peach & Lily as the first English-language K-beauty curator (2012) and later launched her own branded line. The Glass Skin Refining Serum is a legitimate cult product — niacinamide, peptides, and a peach extract blend that holds up under the hype. Less Instagram-chaotic than Glow Recipe, more editorial.

Pros

✓ Founder esthetician expertise
✓ Strong Glass Skin line
✓ Clean, edit-style curation

Cons

✗ Premium pricing
✗ Fragrance in some formulas
✗ Limited range

Krave Beauty

Liah Yoo built Krave Beauty the way you wish more brands would — 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.
