Korean Skincare I’m Using in 2026: KRX, Dermathod, Pfect-A + More

I do not rebuild a skincare routine every time a new ingredient trends. For 2026, the products getting my attention are the ones that fill a clear role in the routines I build for myself and my clients. These are a few categories and products currently earning space in the Lindsey Rapp Skin edit.

Pfect-A NMN + NAD+ Serum

Pfect-A NMN + NAD+ Serum is one of the more unusual formulas in my anti-aging assortment. NMN and NAD+ language has crossed over from the longevity world into topical skincare, but I treat this as a cosmetic serum rather than assuming supplement research translates directly to skin. I like it as an option for someone who wants a more advanced-feeling serum and enjoys the formula in a consistent routine.

Dermathod O2 Tox Spicules

Dermathod O2 Tox is the spicule product I carry for people interested in a more intensive resurfacing step at home. Spicules can feel prickly and are not something I would stack casually with multiple exfoliating products. If you are new to the category, read my Dermathod O2 Tox guide first.

KRX Youthplex

For a firming-focused routine, I keep coming back to KRX Youthplex Face Lift Serum. I like it as a peptide-focused treatment step paired with hydration, moisturizer and daily sunscreen rather than as a promise of an instant lift.

NeoGenesis Beta Serum

NeoGenesis Beta Serum remains one of my straightforward choices when I want a hydrating, beta-glucan-focused serum in a sensitive or barrier-conscious routine. It is especially useful when the rest of the routine needs to stay simple.

Pfect-A Solar Elixir SPF 50+

Pfect-A Solar Elixir SPF 50+ stays in the edit because sunscreen only works as a daily habit if you actually like wearing it. Texture and finish matter, especially when SPF is the final layer over several skincare steps.

What I’m Not Doing in 2026

I am not replacing a good routine just because a new ingredient becomes popular. I am also not layering every interesting active together. A new product earns a place when it solves a problem, improves the experience of the routine or gives me a better option for a specific skin concern.

That same filter is behind how I decide which Korean skincare products are worth carrying.
