If it seems like there's always something new coming out of South Korea's skin care and beauty world, that's because, well, there is. The country is well regarded for its steady stream of innovations — even if that means spreading snail mucin on your skin or developing antibacterial products using centipedes — and we're grateful for everything that makes its way over to the States. You can expect to see plenty of new stuff launching in the Fall of 2016, including an essence made from birch sap instead of water, a cleansing stick that utilizes actual leaves as an exfoliating ingredient, a sheet mask made with bee venom, and a lip stain that'll give you high shine and major color payoff. We even spoke to Korean beauty experts to give us the details on many of these new products.

Clio Peripera Vivid Tint Water

Clio Peripera Vivid Tint Water

Peripera Vivid Tint Water ($8) is the turbo version of the brand's Tint Water. While the latter gives you a more mild color sheen, the new Vivid Tints provide a serious douse of color and high shine with minimal transfer. There are five different colors that cover the orange to red spectrum, and the formulation is thin and water-like. Plus, they come in an adorable juice carton-inspired package.

Too Cool For School Za Sitkoza Cleansing Gel
Sephora

Too Cool For School Za Sitkoza Cleansing Gel

Too Cool For School launched the Za cleansing range in mid-August at Sephora, and there's a lot to be excited about. Za means "to sleep," so it makes sense that the line consists of seven pieces to help prepare your skin before hitting the hay. The Za Sitkoza Cleansing Gel ($20) is a 100 percent oil-free formula that hydrates the skin while washing. It contains cherry blossom extract, an anti-inflammatory, and damascus rose extract, which helps soothe skin.

Enature Birch Juice Hydro Essence Skin

Enature Birch Juice Hydro Essence Skin

While you might not be familiar with the Enature brand yet, you can expect to see more of it in the coming months. Enature is known for incorporating natural, innovative ingredients into its products. For example, one of its newest lines utilizes birch sap in place of water.

"Birch sap is great for the skin because it's hydrating, has tons of antioxidants, and helps to brighten and improve skin texture," says Charlotte Cho, founder of Soko Glam, where the product will launch in September.

The Birch Juice Hydro Essence Skin ($25) actually contains 78 percent birch sap, so you can see that the brand isn't messing around when it comes to this star ingredient.

NOHJ Pore Intracell Boosting Sheet Mask

NOHJ Pore Intracell Boosting Sheet Mask

NOHJ recently launched several "Intracell" sheet masks, including the Pore Intracell Boosting Sheet Mask ($3), which you can find at Beauteque.com, a website that specializes in selling Korean masks to stateside consumers. After you apply the sheet, vitamin-rich bubbles will begin forming between your skin and the mask. These bubbles help remove dead skin, impurities, and excess sebum while lavender flower extract and grapefruit extract soothe your skin.

Erborian Liquid BB Crème Cushion Compact

Erborian Liquid BB Crème Cushion Compact

Erborian, a brand that combines Korean herbal science with Parisian luxury, is picking up a lot of steam in the skin care world. One of its newest products is the Liquid BB Crème Cushion Compact ($48), which comes in two shades (Dore and Clair). This cushion BB cream is infused with ginseng, an ingredient that's been used in Korean skin care over the ages. Ginseng has been found to even out complexions, reduce signs of aging, and hydrate the skin.

Huxley Anti-Gravity ​Cream and Oil Essence

Huxley Anti-Gravity ​Cream and Oil Essence

Glow Recipe, a Korean skin care commerce site that specializes in "natural, harsh-free beauty products," is curating a new brand called Huxley, as in the writer Aldous Huxley who wrote the famous novel Brave New World. First to arrive on the site are Huxley's Anti-Gravity Cream and Oil Essence, both of which are ideal for those with sensitive skin in need of hydration.

The brand prominently features prickly pear seed oil from the Sahara desert. It is a very hydrating oil that's high in vitamin E and absorbs quickly. "Since prickly pear is a type of cactus, it is naturally able to retain a high amount of water and moisture, which then translates to how it works on skin," says Cathy Wang, Glow Recipe's content manager.

Ladykin Ice Cold Mask With Bee Venom

Ladykin Ice Cold Mask With Bee Venom

Ladykin Ice Cold Mask With Bee Venom ($5) is a sheet mask featuring royal jelly extract and bee venom. Both ingredients work together to hydrate, nourish, and firm the skin. Since it's such a moisture-packed sheet mask, it's ideal for mature and dry skin types.

Pony Effect Intense Eye Tint

Pony Effect Intense Eye Tint

You may remember Pony as the vlogger who turned herself into a very believable Taylor Swift, but she is also a Korean beauty influencer who is known for so much more than her morphing skills. In fact, Pony has a popular line of cosmetics and just launched a set of super pigmented liquid eye shadows. The Intense Eye Tints ($15) range features five colors, including a rosy pink, plum shimmer, gold, mauve, and gray-meets-brown sheen. They're applied with a doe-foot applicator, which is a wand with a broad sponge tip at the top.

Neogen Green Tea Cleansing Stick

Neogen Green Tea Cleansing Stick

Neogen's Green Tea Cleansing Stick ($25, available in September) is part of the increasingly popular skin care category of "cleansing sticks." This new product is different from other cleansing sticks because it utilizes actual green tea leaves to help gently exfoliate the skin. It also has a low pH of five to help keep skin healthy and balanced.

"It's made with oils, so it removes makeup really well, and serves as an almost two-in-one double cleansing stick," says Cho.

Belif Aqua Bomb Sheet Mask

Belif Aqua Bomb Sheet Mask

With nearly 1000 five-star reviews at Sephora, Belif's The True Cream Aqua Bomb has quickly reached cult favorite status among skin care aficionados. It's adored because of the lightweight gel formulation that packs a major punch of moisture. It makes perfect sense, then, that the brand decided to launch a sheet mask version of the same. Meet Aqua Bomb Sheet Mask ($8). It's soaked in the Aqua Bomb formula for a superhydrating, luxurious experience for your face.

Kicho Camellia Sleeping Pack

Kicho Camellia Sleeping Pack

Korean commerce site Peach & Lily just introduced the Kicho brand to its online store. In the new lineup is Kicho's Camellia Sleeping Pack ($53), which is housed in a gilded, flowery tube. The custard-like formula harnesses the power of moisture-rich lanolin (aka, sheep oil), as well as camellia, a green tea extract that helps even out pigmentation. Rosewater soothes skin while hyaluronic acid plumps and moisturizes.

Esfolio Goat Milk Daily Essence

Esfolio Goat Milk Daily Essence

Esfolio Goat Milk Daily Essence ($12) is part of an entire line that incorporates goat milk into the products. Essences should be used after you tone your skin and before you apply an ampoule or serum. This lightweight, water-like formulation will moisturize your skin while simultaneously firming, brightening, and softening.

J. One Jelly Pack Luminous 2-Step Mask

J. One Jelly Pack Luminous 2-Step Mask

One of Glow Recipe's most popular products is its J. One Jelly Pack, which firms and brightens the skin. Now you can get that product as part of a two-step sheet mask system with the Luminous 2-Step Mask ($6). Step one is a bamboo charcoal sheet mask, which utilizes fermented black tea extract, charcoal and black bee propolis to suck out pollutants and debris from pores. Once the skin has been purified in step one, apply the second mask, which locks in moisture and visibly tightens your skin.

Too Cool For School Max in Pocket Lip Balm

Too Cool For School Max in Pocket Lip Balm

Too Cool For School's Max in Pocket Lip Balm ($12) is a tinted lip moisturizer that comes in three colors: pink, red, and berry. Each is housed in a kitschy, colorful locket with a cat face printed on top. The balm is formulated with mango butter and shea butter for max hydration, and it comes with a chain so you can affix it to your purse, wallet, or key chain.

Dr. Jart+ K-Beauty A BB C's Kit

Dr. Jart+ K-Beauty A BB C's Kit

This grab bag from Dr. Jart+ makes an excellent introduction to the brand and to K-beauty skin care in general. The A BB C's kit ($22) and contains three of the brand's essential products, including its Water Drop Moisturizer, its bestselling Premium BB Cream, and the Dermaclear Micro Water. The first primes, the second protects and perfects the skin, and the third hydrates. While the brand has packaged and sold products together before, this is the first time Dr. Jart+ has combined an all-in-one set.
