D’alba Piedmont.
Don’t dismiss Amazon as just a place to buy your favorite drugstore staples. The company partnered with multiple stellar Korean beauty brands to stock their skincare, haircare and color cosmetics, and it’s often the brands’ sole storefront in the US. We especially love I’m Meme, Etude House and The Face Shop for makeup, and d’alba Piedmont, Elizabeth Mott and I Dew Care for skincare.

Those of us who have pledged allegiance to K-Beauty (and poured hard-earned dollars into it) understand that the East Asian beauty influence is a total game-changer — particularly in the skincare field. If your medicine cabinet is filled with cute packaging containing face masks, lotions and powders, you’re deep in the game. The only downside to this K-beauty addiction? Getting your fix and knowing exactly where to buy Korean beauty products in the U.S.
You can find lots of your favorite products on eBay at really reasonable and competitive prices, but the catch is that it’s hard to tell if the product is genuine, and it takes forever to get to your door since they ship from, well, Asia. Bookmark this handy list of all the places to buy K-beauty goods with US distributors so you can stock up on everything you love, ASAP. Some places you already visit, such as Sephora and Ulta (surprise!), while others you might never have heard of before. Sit back and shop right from your couch or your phone and grab these stellar K-beauty products.

The best part of this store? The variety.

Famed for its skincare, Missha’s US webshop is the ultimate K-beauty destination. The best part of this store? Not only is shipping incredibly fast, but it always seems to be having a sale, offering up to 40 percent off the products you already wanted to try (hint: we suggest the cult BB creams). It’s also worth signing up for their newsletter so that you’ll know the second new products come in.

Not all UO stores carry every K-beauty brand featured on its website, but you can get a touch and feel of the products you’re considering, all while you’re browsing for your next ‘fit.
