K-beauty subscription boxes are a fantastic way to try out new Korean products every month without busting your budget.
The only problem is that with SO many subscriptions (and new ones popping up every day), it’s hard to know where to start.
No worries, though; I did the hard part for you below!
Check out my absolute favorites first, then keep reading for the full list.

A quick note before we dive in. With a few exceptions, most of these are available on Cratejoy, my favorite place to buy subscription boxes.
Not only can you manage all of your subs in one spot, but they often have coupons for your first box!
Just check for a little light-green box right above the “subscribe now” box on each product page.
1. The K-Beauty Box
The K-Beauty Box offers up an amazing selection of the best South Korean skin products every month. Literally. It actually ships from Korea.
Experts in the industry curate a selection of full-sized and deluxe items, ranging from sheet masks to moisturizers to serums, all from the top Korean beauty brands.
Along with your full-sized items, they also throw in some free samples, tutorials, and other tips to really bring this box to the next level.
The only thing I don’t like is that they don’t really tell you upfront how many items to expect or the overall value of the products. I buy A LOT of beauty boxes, and that’s the first thing I look for.
Still, I really love that these are AUTHENTIC K-beauty products since they’re actually coming from Korea (although that means you’ll have to wait a bit longer to get it).
- Number of products: Varies monthly
- The average value of products: Also varies, but always more than the cost of the box.
- Subscription type: monthly

2. Sooni Pouch
Sooni Pouch calls itself the “No. 1 K Beauty Box,” and given the overwhelmingly positive reviews, it’s easy to see why.
Each box is jam-packed full of deluxe and full-size products from some of the hottest names in K-beauty.
You’ll receive everything from makeup to masks to skincare goodies, all curated by their team of experts and designed to work with any skin type.
The only drawback is that there’s no English description of the products included, so you’ll need to look them up (or use Google translate, which isn’t always accurate).
They offer up three different options, including a mini, standard, and mask-only pouch. The standard box gives you the most bang for your buck, though.
- Number of products: 10-12 in the standard, 6-8 in the mini
- The average value of products: $100+ for the standard, $60+ for the mini
- Subscription type: monthly

3. FaceTory
Face Tory is THE name in Korean sheet masks, so we can’t talk K-beauty boxes without mentioning them!
The brand offers up three different sizes for their subscriptions, including one that costs just under $12 a month!
If you want the most variety and greatest bang for your buck, though, go with the K-Glow Box. For just about $30, you’ll get “3 full-sized skincare items and 4 premium sheet masks.”
The reviews are exceptional, it’s one of the few with 5 solid stars that I’ve seen on CrateJoy (no matter how perfect something is, someone will have a complaint about it usually).
- Number of products: 7 (3 full, 4 masks)
- The average value of products: Varies, but always more than $30
- Subscription type: monthly
4. BabyFaceDiary
Baby Face Diary is another fabulous mask subscription box, with two different options designed to fit all budgets.
Their Mystery Fun box is a great option if you’re on a REALLY tight budget and just want to try out a few new Korean sheet masks every month.
You’ll get 4 premium masks curated by their team, along with a detailed guide on how to use them, all for under $10.
They also offer a Mystery Wow box with 8 masks for just over $25. As you can see, while that’s double the number of products, it’s also more than double the price of the Fun box
So personally, I’d stick with the Fun Box.
- Number of products: 4 or 8
- The average value of products: Varies, but always at least what you pay for them
- Subscription type: monthly

5. PinkSeoul
Most skincare subscription boxes don’t really offer much in the way of customization. They’re pretty much “one size fits all,” although they do usually try to curate products for all skin types.
PinkSeoul is different, though. While they only offer one box size, you get to customize it a bit.
Before checking out, they ask you about your skin type (normal, oily, dry, or combo) and your “area of focus” (acne, wrinkles, pigmentation, or just having fun/experimenting).
Each curated box includes a minimum of 4 full-sized goodies, 2 masks, and one accessory.
- Number of products: 7
- The average value of products: $80+
- Subscription type: bi-monthly
There are a few other K-beauty subscription boxes on Cratejoy (check them out here), but these are definitely the highest-rated and most versatile overall in my opinion.
6. Premium K~Beauty
If you’re looking for upscale K-beauty products at an affordable price, this one is a great pick.
They offer 7 different options, including mask-only sets, Deluxe boxes with a mix of products, and even an Elite box with some Korean home decor.
Most are full-size (but you may get a few samples mixed in, so keep that in mind. Every product, regardless of which box you choose, is 100% cruelty-free.
- Number of products: 4-10 (4-5 in the Deluxe box, up to 10 in the elite
- The average value of products: Not noted, but always more than the cost of the box
- Subscription type: monthly
7. BomiBox
BomiBox offers three different subscription levels. Choose between a monthly, quarterly, or just a 3-month one-time subscription (which makes a great gift!).
Every box comes packed with 8 different authentic Korean Skincare goodies, all of which are curated specifically to work with all skin types.
While there’s no specific monthly theme, BomiBox does curate products that are ideal for the season.
In other words, during the winter months, you may see some more moisturizers while during the summer you’ll get products geared towards soothing your hot skin.
Most are cruelty-free, as Korea actually banned animal testing for cosmetics back in 2018. However, not all products are vegan. Some contain honey, beeswax, and snail mucin.
- Number of products: 8
- The average value of products: $80 – $100
- Subscription type: monthly, quarterly, or just a 3-month subscription
8. Piibu Monthly Box
Yet another face mask subscription box, I know, but really can you ever have too many?
Along with some of the most popular masks, Piibu often includes new emerging beauty brands from Korea, so you’ll have a chance to try out some products that you won’t find in local stores.
It’s one of the most affordable mask subscription boxes. Not the cheapest overall, but definitely the most bang for your buck.
- Number of products: 6-10
- The average value of products: $35+
- Subscription type: monthly
Recommendation
There are a few other K-beauty subscription boxes on Cratejoy (check them out here), but these are definitely the highest-rated and most versatile overall in my opinion.
It’s hard to give a final recommendation because it depends on what you’re looking for. Personally, I like PinkSeoul because you get a variety of goodies AND you can customize your box a bit.
That said, if you want just masks, you really can’t go wrong with FaceTory!
