3 Korean Face Oils for Dewy Fall Skin

/ Skincare

Dull skin from fall’s dry air? Lower humidity can sap your glow, leaving your face tight and lacklustre. Korean face oils deliver lightweight hydration with natural ingredients to restore dewiness without clogging pores. I tested three K-beauty favourites for two weeks to find the best for fall. Ready for plump, radiant skin? Here are my top picks!

1. Beauty of Joseon: Glow Serum Propolis + Niacinamide

Beauty of Joseon: Glow Serum (30ml, ~$17) blends 60% propolis and 2% niacinamide for hydration and glow. Its watery oil texture absorbs fast, leaving a dewy finish.

Beauty Tips: I applied 2 drops nightly after toner, and my skin looked brighter with a soft bounce by week one. The dropper is precise, and the mild honey scent fades quickly.

Beauty Tips: I used 1 drop mixed with moisturizer at night, and my dry cheeks felt plump and smooth after a few days. The large bottle lasts months, and it’s unscented for sensitive skin.
