Dr Dray’s Korean Skincare Picks Worth Buying in 2026

SKIN1004 TECA Toner, Ampoule and Cream (0:50–8:12)

Creator Take

Dr Dray likes the range as a coherent soothing routine.

The toner is the lightest prep step; the ampoule adds more humectant support; the cream is still a lightweight gel rather than a heavy balm.

She suggests using the products separately or layering them toner → ampoule → cream.

The botanical and pigment-support discussion is ingredient interpretation, not proof that the line treats a medical condition.

Jumiso Pore Purifying Salicylic Acid Foaming Cleanser (8:13–11:25)

Creator Take

The 0.5% salicylic-acid level is the key reason for the positive review: potentially useful with less irritation than stronger leave-on options.

Dr Dray still cautions that salicylic acid can dry or irritate and suggests starting slowly.

mixsoon Hyalraebae Pore Blurring Cream (11:37–13:50)

Creator Take

Despite looking rich, it feels lightweight. Dr Dray connects its humectant-rich formula to hydration and temporary softening of dehydration-related texture. “Pore blurring” should stay a cosmetic appearance claim, not permanent pore reduction.

Cathy Doll Intensive UV Lip Serum SPF50+ PA++++, Healthy Peach (14:37–15:24)

Creator Take

This is a Thai product, not K-beauty, but it is a positive regional-beauty bonus in the video. Dr Dray describes it as thick, glossy, hydrating and subtly tinted.

Keep it outside the Korean-product quick picks and label the origin accurately.

Abib Rice Probiotics Overnight Mask Barrier Jelly (17:16–18:51)

Creator Take

Dr Dray says she reordered it and features it often. It feels sticky for roughly 10–15 minutes, then dries down;

the glycerin-heavy formula leaves skin plumped and is recommended as a less greasy-feeling alternative for shoppers who cannot tolerate petrolatum all over the face.

Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner (18:51–19:26)

Creator Take

The creator says she keeps rebuying this go-to toner and values its straightforward hydrating, soothing feel. The 91.3% astragalus figure is a label/brand formulation claim repeated in the video, not independently tested by KBeautyVibe.
