New to Korean Skincare- what's worth buying?

Just that really.

I am early 40's- my skin is pretty good, but I'd like more even skin tone, and anti ageing stuff. I have olive skin, and can tolerate the sun quite well. Skin not v sensitive.

Currently I use: (not all at once but is in my skincare)

Geek and Gorgeous Vitamin C
Geek and Gorgeous Niacinamide
Geek and Gorgeous Salicylic acid
Geek and Gorgeous Retinal 10.
Nivea Blue for heavy moisture if I need it

La Roche Posy SPF 50+
La Roche Posy Efficlar Duo.

I'm hearing Korean skincare is all the rage. Anything worth buying?

I've been using Beauty of Joseon eye cream for a few weeks and have already noticed a huge reduction in the dark circles and puffiness under my eyes. Very impressed with it.

I love the Erborian night oil (if you count Erborian as Korean, I know some of it is made in France I think).

Interested in this thread?

@SunnyDays776 I need some of that then!

Laneige cream skin mist is good but seems to be sold out everywhere.

@Purplecatshopaholic the oil sounds intriguing, I love Erborian bb but haven't tried their other products.

I have a Habo Labo face mask (sold at superdrug) so may try that later and report back if it's good.

It's easy to muddle Korean and Japanese products as Japanese skincare tends to be ascribed to Korean.

I love Stylvana! It sometimes takes a while to arrive but they send you little freebie sachets and the prices are really good so it's worth waiting for.

These sound great! And won't break the bank!
