Brand Comparison
Slip vs Beauty of Joseon
A head-to-head comparison of two popular K-beauty brands. Which one is right for your skin?
Our Pick
Beauty of Joseon
Higher editor rating (9 vs 8)
Slip
Slip is a silk pillowcase company, not a skincare brand in the formula sense — but mulberry silk genuinely reduces friction on sleeping skin and hair, which means less creasing, less breakage, and less pillow-imprinted cheek in the morning. The eye masks are what you want for long-haul flights.
Pros
- ✓ Legitimate friction-reduction benefit
- ✓ Gentle on lashes and extensions
- ✓ Aesthetic eye masks
Cons
- ✗ Not a skincare product per se
- ✗ Premium pricing
- ✗ Requires hand-washing
Beauty of Joseon
Beauty of Joseon has quietly become one of the most impressive value propositions in K-beauty. Their Relief Sun is arguably the best budget sunscreen globally, and the Glow Serum delivers genuine results at a price that undercuts competitors by half. The hanbang angle could be gimmicky, but they back it with solid formulation science.
Pros
- ✓ Exceptional price-to-performance ratio
- ✓ Relief Sun SPF 50+ is a standout product
- ✓ Hanbang ingredients backed by real formulation
- ✓ Elegant textures despite budget pricing
Cons
- ✗ Limited product range compared to larger brands
- ✗ Hanbang marketing can feel vague
- ✗ Some products sell out frequently
