Source: https://theqoo.net/beauty/4047569494
This data was collected from TheQoo’s Beauty community in Korea between December 18 and December 30, 2025.
The survey was based on a form asking users to share the beauty product they felt they had used and enjoyed the most that year, with one response allowed per person.
A total of 137 people participated, and this summary includes the products that received multiple recommendations.
I translated and organized the results for reference, so please keep the original source and survey context in mind when viewing the data.

How to read this list
This is a community survey of what people liked, not a clinical study and not a ranking. The original chart groups the products in Korean alphabetical order and only includes products that more than one person recommended. Popularity among 137 TheQoo users in Korea says nothing about how a product will work for your skin, so keep the original source and survey context in mind.
