4 Korean Beauty Products to Try
in August 2026
Korean beauty is not only about following trends.
The best products are the ones that fit naturally into your skincare,
haircare and makeup routine.
For August 2026, Unnie4U has selected four exciting Korean beauty finds covering some of the season’s most common concerns: excess sebum, dry or damaged hair, lightweight hydration and long-lasting makeup.
Our August K-beauty selection includes:
- WAKEMAKE × HELLO KITTY Stay Fixer Multi Color Powder
- ilso Super Melting Sebum Softener
- UNOVE Deep Damage Treatment EX
- S.NATURE Aqua Squalane Moisturizing Cream
Some of these products are also available from major Korean beauty retailers,
including Olive Young Korea.
All products featured here have been independently selected by Unnie4U.
Here is a closer look at each product and who it may suit.
1. WAKEMAKE × HELLO KITTY Stay Fixer Multi Color Powder
The WAKEMAKE × HELLO KITTY Stay Fixer Multi Color Powder combines a practical makeup product with a collectible limited-edition design.
This Korean face powder is designed to help create a smoother-looking makeup finish while reducing the appearance of unwanted shine. The multi-colour powder format also makes it a visually distinctive addition to a makeup collection.
Unnie4U’s August selection includes two shades:
- 02 Light Skin
- 03 Satin Pink
Why we selected it
During warmer weather, makeup can become shiny or lose its fresh finish more quickly. A lightweight finishing powder can be useful for setting makeup and touching up areas such as the forehead, nose and chin.
The HELLO KITTY collaboration also makes this product particularly appealing to customers looking for collectible Korean makeup or a small beauty gift.
Who may like it
This product may suit you if you are looking for:
- A Korean setting powder
- A lightweight makeup finishing product
- A powder for managing visible shine
- HELLO KITTY makeup or collectible beauty products
- A compact product for makeup touch-ups
For a softer and brighter-looking finish, consider 02 Light Skin. For a subtle pink-toned effect, consider 03 Satin Pink.

2. ilso Super Melting Sebum Softener Set
The ilso Super Melting Sebum Softener is a Korean pore-care product designed to soften excess sebum before the next step of a skincare routine.
Instead of using a traditional peel-off nose strip, the liquid is applied to a cotton pad and placed over areas where sebum is more noticeable, such as the nose.
The special set includes:
- ilso Super Melting Sebum Softener 150ml
- Cotton pads, 40 pieces
- Pore Tension Mask Sheet, 1 piece
Why we selected it
Sebum and blackhead-related concerns often become more noticeable during warmer weather. However, aggressive squeezing or frequent use of strong pore strips may leave the skin feeling uncomfortable.
The ilso sebum softener offers a more routine-based approach. It helps prepare and soften visible sebum before gentle removal or the next pore-care step.
How to use ilso Super Melting Sebum Softener
- Saturate a suitable cotton pad with the sebum softener.
- Place the pad over the nose or another area with visible sebum.
- Leave it in place according to the product instructions.
- Remove the pad and gently wipe away softened surface residue.
- Continue with a soothing toner, serum or moisturiser.
Avoid squeezing the skin aggressively. Follow the full instructions supplied with the product and stop use if irritation occurs.
Who may like it
This product may suit customers looking for:
- Korean blackhead care
- A sebum softener for the nose
- An alternative to peel-off nose strips
- A step to add before gentle pore care
- An ilso skincare set with cotton pads included

3. UNOVE Deep Damage Treatment EX Tender Bloom
The UNOVE Deep Damage Treatment EX is a Korean hair treatment developed for hair that feels dry, rough or damaged.
Unnie4U’s August arrival is the Tender Bloom double pack, offering two full-size 320ml treatments.
The product can be used after shampooing as part of a regular haircare routine. It is designed to leave the hair feeling softer, smoother and easier to manage.
Why we selected it
Hair may feel especially dry after exposure to sun, heat styling, swimming pools, frequent washing or colouring treatments.
A richer rinse-out hair treatment can help improve the feel and appearance of dry lengths and ends. The large double-pack format also makes the product practical for customers who use hair treatments regularly.
How to use a Korean hair treatment
After shampooing:
- Gently remove excess water from the hair.
- Apply the treatment mainly through the mid-lengths and ends.
- Avoid applying too much directly to the scalp unless instructed.
- Leave it on for the recommended amount of time.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
The exact frequency will depend on your hair type. Fine hair may need less product, while thick, dry or chemically treated hair may benefit from more regular use.
Who may like it
UNOVE Deep Damage Treatment EX may suit customers looking for:
- A Korean hair mask for damaged hair
- Haircare for dry or rough ends
- A treatment for coloured or heat-styled hair
- A large Korean hair treatment set
- Softer and smoother-looking hair
The Tender Bloom version also adds a floral fragrance element to the haircare experience.

4. S.NATURE Aqua Squalane Moisturizing Cream
S.NATURE Aqua Squalane Moisturizing Cream is a Korean moisturiser that combines hydration with a lightweight cream texture.
The August special set includes:
- Aqua Squalane Moisturizing Cream 60ml × 2
Squalane is commonly used in skincare products to help support a soft, moisturised skin feel without necessarily requiring a very heavy texture.
Why we selected it
Some people experience skin that feels dehydrated while still becoming shiny during the day. In this situation, skipping moisturiser altogether may not be the best solution.
A lightweight moisturising cream can help support hydration while fitting more comfortably into a summer or daytime skincare routine.
The double set also offers good practical value, while the smaller 10ml cream is useful for travel or keeping in a handbag.
How to use S.NATURE Aqua Squalane Cream
Apply the cream after toner, essence or serum.
Use a moderate amount and gently spread it across the face. During the daytime, complete your routine with a suitable broad-spectrum sunscreen.
Customers with combination skin may prefer to apply a smaller amount to oilier areas and slightly more to areas that feel dry.
Who may like it
This cream may suit customers searching for:
- A Korean squalane moisturiser
- A lightweight moisturiser for dehydrated skin
- Korean skincare for combination skin
- A moisturising cream that does not feel overly rich
- A Korean moisturiser double set
