The best Korean moisturizers and sunscreens introduced an American audience to the possibilities beyond staid formulations and inelegant sun protection , offering brand-new active ingredients, playful packaging, and innovative technology. While perfectly good moisturizers in the U.S. do exist ( if you know where to find them ), “Korean moisturizers are so innovative and thoughtful,” says Michelle Park, MD , a board-certified dermatologist in New York City. What's unique is that in addition to providing great hydration, “many incorporate natural and holistic ingredients to boost skin benefits and address skin concerns,” she says.
