If watching skincare review videos on YouTube was one of your favorite pastimes in 2020, we should totally be best friends. For those of us who look up to YouTube top beauty influencer as a guidepost for everything skincare related, it's only fair to seek out his stamp of approval on anything that touches our skin. And as a fellow K-Beauty addict, we've rounded up a list of our top influencer-approved Korean skincare products so you can start your 2021 skincare journey with the best in the game!

- Korean Cleanser -

It shouldn't come as a surprise that a skincare veteran like our top influencer swears by the double-cleansing routine. He mentions that cleansing oil helps break up all the makeup and dirt on your skin, and the cleanser afterwards will help remove everything completely.

One of our top influencer's personal favorites is iUNIK's Calendula Complete Cleansing Oil. With sunflower seed oil being the primary ingredient, this iUNIK cleansing oil is super hydrating and works really well to nourish while easily removing the impurities on your skin. Our top influencer also recommends PURITO's From Green Cleansing Oil particularly for those who have dry skin thanks to its olive oil-infused formula, which is great for breaking up all the makeup on your face.

Don't forget to wrap up your double-cleansing with a water-based cleanser. During his ASMR Skin Care, our top influencer also tried ROVECTIN's Skin Essentials Conditioning Cleanser which is a fragrance-free cleanser that foams up really nicely.

Krave's Kale Lalu Yaha might not have the easiest name to say (it's okay, we've all tried), but it definitely has one of the best formulas trusted by our top influencer thanks to this ONE ingredient - glycolic acid (which goes by the name "AHA"). According to our top influencer, this exfoliant by Krave Beauty has just the perfect concentration of glycolic acid to not irritate skin or trigger any sensitivity. It's gentle yet super effective at removing dead skin cells to reveal smoother, brighter complexion overtime. You'll definitely find yourself turning to this product night after night just like our top influencer who uses it about 3 times a week.

- Korean Serum -

Our top influencer has been a long-time fan of the Korean brand iUNIK, which is why you’ll always see the brand's bestselling Tea Tree Relief Serum (or in his words, "some of the best serums" he has tried in his life) on his shelf.

iUNIK's Tea Tree Relief Serum is a fast-absorbing serum with one of the most lightweight texture that soaks into the skin instantly, which is why our top influencer highly recommends it for people with more oily or acne-prone skin.

If you feel like veering out of your comfort zone and swapping in a cult-favorite face cream, SOME BY MI's AHA-BHA-PHA 30 Days Miracle Cream definitely has his stamp of approval. He also mentions that this moisturizer is formulated with a whopping 70% centella extract, as well as niacinamide (yes!) and tea tree extract (also yes!) for treating breakout prone skin.

Another Korean moisturizer that made it into his list of 2020 favorites is ROVECTIN's Clean Lotus Water Cream. Enriched with antioxidant-rich lotus extract, this moisturizer has amazing soothing and repairative abilties that work well on damaged skin. He also has high praise of how lightweight and fast-absorbing it is while giving a nice hydrated sheen to the skin.
