Today’s the day: Olive Young, South Korea’s largest beauty and health retailer, has officially landed at Sephora. Its curated lineup is now in more than 500 stores nationwide, plus online, as the two brands join forces.
It's due time. Olive Young’s lineup has a reputation that precedes it, and today, Sephora is welcoming 19 of its curated brands to prove it, from Banila Co’s iconic Clean It Zero cleansing balm (which has sold more than 100 million units worldwide) to ma:nyo’s beloved cleansing oil, Sungboon Editor's PDRN-infused skin care and Rejuran Cosmetics’ regenerative ampoules (a 2026 NewBeauty Award winner), among others.
As of today, products that are part of the partnership are tagged “OLIVE YOUNG K-Beauty Edit” in the highlights section of product descriptions on Sephora’s site—a handy way to know you're looking at something Olive Young (and its shoppers) have already stamped as a hit. Ahead, we’ve rounded up 19 products to shop from the brands now at Sephora, all beloved at Olive Young and beyond, so you can get the best of what K-beauty has to offer, stateside.
Rejuran Turnover Ampoule ($52)
If you were to try just one product from the Sephora x Olive Young curation, let it be this NewBeauty 2026 Award winner. The brand uses salmon-derived PDRN across its lineup, and this product from Rejuran is no exception, meant to soften signs of aging.
“Developed by PharmaResearch, a leader in regenerative science, the lightweight formula is powered by patented c-PDRN and proprietary DOT: DNA Optimizing Technology,” said our director of beauty, Britt Fallon, in a product review for our annual awards. “It’s clinically designed to improve uneven skin texture and enhance natural glow for firmer-looking skin.”
BANILA CO Clean it Zero Best of Cleansing Balms Trio ($32)
BANILA CO has a whole range of skin-care products to peruse, but its cleansing balms are its most well-known, quite literally, far and wide. This set gives you the chance to try three of its best-sellers: its original makeup-melting formula, another that uses tea tree extract to help clarify pores and balance oily skin and a third that uses mandarin orange peel oil with the intent to brighten with regular use.
PS: If you’re already that person thinking about the holidays, this makes a great gift for a beauty lover.
Sungboon Editor Deep Collagen Retinol Power Boosting Capsule Cream ($32)
This capsule cream is yet another K-beauty product to win a 2026 NewBeauty Award. It uses a mix of collagen, retinol and multiple hydrators in boba-like capsules to revitalize skin, and it’s certainly a fun sensorial experience with its gel-and-capsule texture. Because retinol can be a lot for sensitive skin, the encapsulated format helps release it more gradually, so you get the anti-aging benefits without as much risk of irritation.
ma:nyo Pure Soybean Cleansing Oil ($20)
This yellow-bottled cleansing oil is another absolute staple in the world of K-beauty. It’s a repeat winner of Olive Young’s annual awards, based on real sales data, and per the brand, has sold more than 20 million bottles worldwide. Made with a blend of 14 plant-derived oils, including soybean and argan, it goes on silky and turns into a milky emulsion the moment water hits it, melting away makeup and buildup without leaving skin tight or dry.
Abib Airy Sunstick Protection Bar SPF50+ ($28)
This stick sunscreen has long been a favorite of the NewBeauty team, earning a spot in our guide of the best Korean sunscreens, originally published last year. Danielle Fontana Dooley, our director of editorial partnerships, described it as a “reef-safe, mess-free SPF 50+ sun stick [that] glides on effortlessly with soothing allantoin and sunflower seed oil, delivering a semi-matte finish on the go.”
Arencia Fresh Green Rice Mochi Foaming Cleanser ($19)
Arencia is part of Olive Young’s Sephora curation, but it’s already been available on Sephora before the rest of the group launched. Case in point: This foaming cleanser for acne-prone skin already has plenty of loyal reviews, with shoppers saying their skin feels clean, soft and balanced after using it. It gently exfoliates and controls excess oil, leaving skin smoother and clearer with consistent use.
Beplain Mung Bean pH Balanced Cleansing Foam ($26)
Beplain’s Mung Bean pH-Balanced Cleansing Foam is a bona fide Korean best-seller, and once you try it, you’ll likely get why. Mung bean powder gently buffs away buildup while the extract works overtime to soothe, all wrapped in a gentle, amino acid–based formula that won’t leave your skin feeling tight or stripped. Add in ceramides, hyaluronic acid and calming centella, and you've got a cleanser that actually respects your barrier.
The one asterisk: There's a touch of alcohol in the mix, so if you're eczema- or rosacea-prone, patch test before making it a daily habit.
THOME The Glow SIGNATURE Professional-Grade Ultrasound Skincare Device ($299)
Have you heard of ultrasound treatments for your face? This device brings that same category of technology home, per the brand. It has three modes—radiance, hydration and firmness—and in the brand’s own testing, users saw improvements in elasticity and firmness, with barely any irritation reported. It’s a compelling entry point if you’ve been curious about skin tech but hesitant to take the leap. Or maybe you're just eager to splurge on a cool new tool? (Same.)
S.NATURE Aqua Squalane Moisturizing Lightweight Hydrating Face Cream ($28)
This one doesn’t do squalane halfway, to say the least. It's formulated with 150,000ppm, which basically means squalane makes up 15 percent of the entire formula, far more than you’ll find in most face creams. Somehow it still absorbs fast and never feels greasy, thanks to a mix of hyaluronic acid and aquaxyl, both humectants that help skin hold onto hydration throughout the day.
MENOKIN 30sec Quick Bubble Mask ($32)
This bubble mask is the skin-care equivalent of a sweet treat. After cleansing, one pump dispenses a bubbly foam that you massage evenly across your face for about 30 seconds, until the bubbles collapse into a light, silky layer. The brand carries several kinds, all fragrance-free but with different skin-care goals. This one’s built for revitalizing and plumping, thanks to rose PDRN, NAD and a peptide complex that firm and strengthen the skin barrier.
Fation Rapid Calming Serum ($25)
This one’s a redness-calming trifecta: centella asiatica, which appears twice in the ingredient list in two different forms, is rich in madecassoside and asiaticoside, compounds known for soothing inflammation fast. Allantoin helps ease sensitivity without any harsh actives, while panthenol strengthens the skin barrier—often the real root cause of redness. There's also a touch of artemisia (mugwort) extract, another great calming ingredient for reactive skin.
FULLY Rice-Dough Hydrating Mask Cleanser ($20)
This one’s fun to use, but don't let that fool you—it still brings the benefits. Massage it in and it turns into a stretchy, mochi-like dough on your face (the brand says it’s “almost good to eat” for that reason). It’s a cleanser and a mask rolled into one: Use it daily to wash up, or let it sit for a minute when your skin needs extra hydration.
And a quick snapshot of the ingredient list: Rice bran water, vegan PDRN and hyaluronic acid are the formula’s MVPs, and it’s gentle enough even for sensitive skin.
BIOHEAL BOH Probioderm 3D Lifting Cream ($34)
Many peptide creams on the market can be a hell of a splurge, but not this one, even though it’s packed with them—over 17, to be more specific, including ones specifically studied for anti-aging, such as copper tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 and acetyl hexapeptide-8 (nicknamed “Botox in a jar” for its ability to relax the look of expression lines).
Alongside peptides, it also uses adenosine, one of the only ingredients officially recognized in Korea as a functional anti-wrinkle ingredient, fermented ingredients to show your microbiome some love, and beta-glucan to help support the skin barrier.
Cell Fusion C Cooling Face Mask ($11 for a 5-pack)
At this point in summer, anything promising a surefire way to cool me down has my full attention, and the reviews of this face mask deliver. On Amazon, where it’s been sold before its Sephora debut, shoppers rave about how it’s “instantly cooling” and helps with everything from redness to irritation. That tracks with the ingredient list: methyl diisopropyl propionamide delivers a menthol-like chill, while feverfew, chamomile and guaiazulene team up to calm redness.
Whipped Strawberry Vanilla Face Mask Cleanser ($26)
The photo alone sells this Strawberry Vanilla Face Mask-Cleanser. It looks like dessert, and that’s exactly the brand’s vibe. It’s one of Whipped’s best-sellers, and it pulls double duty: Use it as a quick cleanser or leave it on as a mask. Either way, you're getting gentle cleansing agents plus niacinamide, hyaluronic acid and ceramides for an extra boost, whether you rinse fast or let it sit.
WELLAGE Real Hyaluronic Blue 100 Ampoule ($21)
Did you know that many hyaluronic acid serums only contain one or two types of hyaluronic acid, which means they’re really only hydrating one layer of your skin? Not this one. This formula packs in seven different types of hyaluronic acid, working at different depths to keep skin hydrated from the surface all the way down. It’s also got adenosine for fine lines, antioxidant-rich phloretin and a full lineup of amino acids to help skin hold onto moisture even longer.
Torriden DIVE IN 5D Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Cream ($27)
Torriden might just become your new obsession if you have dry or mature skin. This cream is rich and nourishing, loaded with ceramides to strengthen your skin barrier, peptides and antioxidants for anti-aging support and five types of hyaluronic acid to keep skin hydrated all day. It’s a solid pick if your skin tends to run on the thirstier side.
make p:rem Safe me. Relief Moisture Gentle Cleansing Milk ($25)
There’s no escaping the milk skin-care trend, but when it delivers results as good as this cleanser, you won't want to. This one's built to remove makeup and sunscreen without leaving skin feeling tight or dry afterward. Soy protein helps skin stay soft and hydrated, ceramide and hyaluronic acid work to keep the skin barrier strong, and baekmi (white rice) flower extract adds a calming effect for anyone with sensitive skin. It’s fragrance-free and low-pH, too, so it’s a solid pick if your skin tends to react to a lot of products.
HEVEBLUE Salmon Caring Centella Cream With Salmon PDRN ($28)
This one’s for anyone dealing with a compromised, over-it barrier, be it from post-retinol irritation, weather-beaten winter skin or that raw feeling from one too many active ingredients. PDRN and salmon egg extract repair, madecassoside calms redness and centella water (read: lots of it), keeps skin steadily hydrated instead of just damp for an hour.
