Since its Western debut several years ago, Korean beauty has undoubtedly revolutionized the beauty industry. What started off as a trend has become a major game-changer for the business, spawning countless K-beauty companies and even prompting non-Korean brands to jump on the bandwagon and attempt their own takes on Seoul-inspired skincare. K-beauty’s popularity shows no sign of stopping, as evidenced by the $13 billion it’s estimated to be worth.

One of the first products that helped bring K-beauty to the top of everyone’s Sephora shopping lists was sheet masks. Many of them came infused with unique, innovative, and, we’ll admit, not-so-vegan-friendly ingredients such as snail mucin, bee venom, and donkey milk. Chances are, whether you were a beauty veteran or novice, you hadn’t heard of those things being used in skincare products before.

The affordability of K-beauty sheet masks was another factor in their success. For as low as one dollar, you could get glowy skin in a matter of minutes while simultaneously scaring your friends with an American Psycho-esque selfie. There’s also the accessibility—you can pick up a K-beauty face mask practically anywhere, including your local CVS or as a last-minute addition to your Amazon order.

Whether you need to target a specific skin concern like acne or dehydration, or just want to bring some life back into your complexion, there is a Korean beauty face mask for every issue and situation. Ahead, 11 must-have Korean beauty face masks that will help bring your skin to a whole new level.
