K-Beauty · Season's edit
When spring arrives, skin hits restart. After the cold months, it craves light, water and just enough care to get its glow back. To find out what truly works, we didn't look at the trends: we looked at your baskets. Here are the ten Korean skincare products the Piyonna community loved most this season, sorted by routine step, from cleansing to sun protection.
Deep cleansing
Super Melting Sebum Softener Special Set
The spring favorite for blackheads. This melting lotion goes onto a cotton pad, sits for a few minutes on the nose and congested areas, then "melts away" sebum and impurities with no pinching or scrubbing, thanks to salicylic and glycolic acids. So many of you have adopted it as a far gentler alternative to manual extraction: blackheads lift away more easily, and skin looks clearer and more matte.
Best for: combination to oily skin, enlarged pores, a shiny T-zone.

Aqua Oasis Panthe-Allan Calming Pad
The morning freshness step. These large soaked pads cover the whole cheek and deliver a concentrated dose of D-Panthenol (30,000 ppm) and allantoin (1,500 ppm), while PHA gently smooths texture. You loved it for its instant hydrating, soothing effect, its lovely cooling sensation, and its vegan, low-irritation formula.
Best for: sensitive, reactive or overheated skin.

AXIS-Y · no.2 best-seller
Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum
Our glow best-seller. With 5% niacinamide, it targets dark spots, uneven tone and dullness. The lightweight texture sinks in fast. You loved it for one thing in particular: overall radiance improves from the very first days, in a "slow and steady" approach, well tolerated even on sensitive skin.
Best for: dull skin, post-blemish marks, all skin types.

White Truffle First Spray Serum
The cult-favorite mist-serum for a lasting glow. Part mist, part serum, part setting spray, this featherlight formula refreshes, nourishes and amplifies radiance without a trace of stickiness. Infused with Piedmont white truffle and vitamin E, it shields the skin with powerful antioxidants while leaving it visibly luminous. You loved it because a single spritz does the work of three: the kind of effortless glow that lingers from morning to night.
Best for: all skin types after instant glow, multi-use mist lovers.

Mary & May · no.1 best-seller
Spicule Retinol PDRN Cream
The no.1 best-seller of spring. This cream packs marine micro-spicules (40 times smaller than a pore), encapsulated retinol in nano-liposomes and soothing CICA PDRN. On application, a slight tingle signals the spicules at work, without irritation. You describe visibly smoother, more refined skin from the first applications, especially around pores and fine lines.
Best for: first fine lines, uneven texture, visible pores; ideal for easing into retinol.

Spicule Collagen PDRN Cream
The collagen counterpart to the retinol cream above, built for firmness. Same marine micro-spicule technology, this time paired with high-performance marine collagen to target volume, the barrier and elasticity. The brand promises plumper, firmer skin; you loved it because, after about two weeks, you noticed smoother texture, a natural glow and a subtle "lift" when used as a spot treatment.
Best for: skin after firmness and bounce.

Aqua Squalane Moisturizing Cream
A cult best-seller in Korea, with a reputation built entirely by word of mouth. Its formula concentrates 150,000 ppm of plant-derived squalane and 8 types of hyaluronic acid for deep, long-lasting hydration. The creamy texture sinks in fast with no greasy feel. You loved it because skin wakes up plump, comfortable and visibly suppler, even on sensitive or barrier-compromised skin.
Best for: dry to sensitive skin, compromised barrier.

Pink Collagen Hydrogel Mask
The express hydration shot. This hydrogel mask hugs the contours of the face and releases its actives (collagen, glutathione) on contact for a plumping, fresh effect, the comfort step before an event. Pop it in the fridge to boost that springtime cooling effect.
Best for: dehydrated or tired skin in need of instant radiance.

Waterfull Tone-Up Sun Cream (Pink) SPF50+ PA++++
The season's favorite SPF. This SPF50+ PA++++ protection with a watery, essence-like texture instantly brightens the complexion with a soft pink veil that neutralizes dullness, with no chalky or white cast. Formulated with Trufferol (white truffle + vitamin E). You love its lightness under makeup; apply the full amount for real protection.
Best for: dull skin, anyone after a luminous 2-in-1 care + SPF base.

Cotton Soft Sun Stick SPF50+ PA++++
The on-the-go protection to carry everywhere. This semi-matte stick glides onto skin and mattifies without drying it out, thanks to hydrating cotton extract and the soothing Herb AC complex. Vegan, you love it for its total lack of white cast and its ultra-handy format to reapply SPF through the day with no mess on your hands.
Best for: SPF top-ups on the go, normal to oily skin.
