The K Beauty Korean Skincare Edit is 10-piece bundle starring some of the most talked-about Korean brands including Mediheal and Anua
Boots has launched a new limited-edition Korean skincare bundle, and it’s set to delight fans of the ever-growing K-beauty trend. The Boots K Beauty Korean Skincare Edit costs £35 but contains £132.47 worth of products, meaning shoppers save £97.47 – a 74% discount on the total value.
The retailer says demand for Korean skincare has surged dramatically over the past year, with K-beauty sales at Boots increasing more than fivefold in the last 12 months. In fact, the chain reports that a Korean skincare product is sold every 11 seconds in its stores and online, highlighting just how popular the trend has become among skincare fans.
Known for its focus on skin health, hydration and achieving the coveted “glass skin” glow, K-beauty has built a huge following thanks to innovative ingredients and gentle yet effective formulas. The new edit brings together some of the most talked-about Korean brands and viral products in one place, making it a great ‘starter kit’ for newbies, as well as an affordable restock for existing users looking to expand their routine.
Inside the box are 10 products in total, eight of which are full-size. Among the highlights is the Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum: Ginseng + Retinal, designed to smooth and brighten the under-eye area using a blend of traditional Korean ingredients and modern actives.
Also included is the deeply hydrating Anua PDRN Hyaluronic Acid 100 Moisturising Cream, which aims to boost moisture levels and strengthen the skin barrier. Skincare enthusiasts will also find the calming Purito Wonder Releaf Centella Serum Unscented, which is one of my personal favourites to use to soothe irritated skin as it’s great for calming redness.

The box also includes the Medicube Collagen Night Wrapping Mask, which alone is worth £26, meaning the price of the edit quickly pays for itself. The mask is designed to help firm and hydrate overnight, peeling off when you wake up, leaning into that ‘morning shed’ trend.
One product I wasn’t a huge fan of in the set was the Round Lab 1025 Dokdo Cleanser. The gentle daily cleanser helps remove impurities without stripping the skin, but it’s a creamy, foaming formula, and personally, I prefer balms and oils to cleanse with. Korean formulas are often texture-led, so not every product will appeal to all, but there’s still plenty to explore inside the edit.
Other products included in the set are the VT Reedle Shot 100 2 Step Mask, Dr Althea 345 Cream, Mediheal Madecassoside Toner Pads, Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Moisture Airyfit Daily Sunscreen SPF50+/PA++++ and the Vitamasques Lip Butter Balm Wild Cherry.
But Boots isn’t the only retailer offering a Korean skincare haul for a fraction of the retail price. At Sephora, shoppers can pick up the Best Of Korean Skincare Set for £45. It stars seven products, including three full sizes from brands like Beauty of Joseon, Aestura and Laneige.
Meanwhile, LookFantastic is offering a range of bundles on brands such as Biodance, Anua and Tocobo here.
But with a mix of hydrating creams, soothing serums, trending treatments and everyday essentials, the new Boots edit is a great introduction to Korean skincare. Given the popularity of previous beauty edits from Boots, and the growing appetite for Korean skincare routines, the set is likely to prove popular with bargain hunters and skincare enthusiasts.
