TOCOBO

TOCOBO is the clean K-beauty brand everyone is talking about. The Bio Watery Sun Cream became the default recommendation for sensitive, oily, and acne-prone skin, and the Cotton Soft Sun Stick is arguably the best-formulated sun stick on the market. Young brand, but already a category leader in suncare.

✓ Clean, EWG-green ingredient lists
✓ Lightweight textures that work under makeup
✓ Strong editorial and dermatologist support

Cons

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.
