If you still can’t get over Hudson Williams’s skin-care routine and 30-plus products that make up his beauty regimen, you’re not alone. The thing is, you know it works — you just have to take one look at the Heated Rivalry actor’s glowing, flawless skin. Thanks to his Korean aunties, the majority of his routine is composed of K-beauty skin care, and as a Korean beauty editor, I’m so happy he introduced more people to the brands and products I’ve known and loved for years.
Thanks to Amazon’s Beauty Event, which ends on May 10, dozens of those all-star K-beauty formulas — including quite a few that Williams loves — have been marked down. I’ve included them below, plus some other K-beauty deals I think are too good to pass up.
Updated on April 27, 2026: Updated prices and checked stock for all products.

Williams uses this toner day and night, and he thinks you should too. Instead of stripping your skin, this hydrating formula features niacinamide to minimize the look of pores, brighten the skin, and help fade dark spots.

On days when he doesn’t want to feel too greasy or shiny, the actor uses the Skin1004 Madagascar Centella ampoule “as my moisturizer because it’s superlight and doesn’t feel heavy,” he said. Because it contains centella asiatica, the serum also soothes any irritation you might be experiencing.

I just know a clogged pore hates to see Williams coming. He uses this product whenever he feels like the rest of his pore-shrinking routine hasn’t done enough. To be fair, it does contain a BHA, a chemical exfoliant that’s able to penetrate the skin and get rid of whatever is clogging it.

Here’s another standout from Williams’s pore-eviscerating regimen. This Skin1004 clay mask is designed to soak up excess sebum and help slough away dead skin cells. Plus it comes in a stick format, so you don’t have to get your hands dirty while you apply it. Williams knows what he’s talking about.

Recently, eagle-eyed fans spotted this mask on Williams’s face in an Instagram post. We can see why he likes it — it not only has hydrating and plumping ingredients like collagen and panthenol, it has retinol to refine the look of pores (of course).

If Williams ever gets a breakout, you’ll probably see one of these clear pimple patches on top of it. Throughout the day, it sucks up the gunk that’s inside the pimple, helping it shrink and heal more quickly.

If you watched Heated Rivalry or have seen Williams strutting on a red carpet, I know his plump, pouty lips have caught your eye more than once. If you’re wondering how he keeps them so hydrated and smooth, Aquaphor (not a lip mask or Aquaphor’s lip balm) is the answer. I know, another non-K-beauty pick, but I had to let you in on the secret.

If you want a moisturizer that overdelivers, this is it. The relief cream has niacinamide and PDRN to brighten, soothe, and boost the skin barrier.

If you want glass skin fast, this is the viral mask you need. With niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, this overnight mask dries clear, leaving your skin hydrated and glassy.

With exfoliating AHA and BHA and a handful of soothing ingredients, these pore pads are ideal for minimizing the look of pores and for smoother, brighter skin without the irritation.

Here at The Cut, we love the Medicube Age-R Booster Pro. You can read our full review here, but it basically combines two high-tech (and usually expensive) beauty devices into one: an LED light mask and a microcurrent device. It also helps ingredients penetrate the skin, leading to better results and a boost in hydration.

Anyone with dry, sensitive skin (like me) will love this cream. The unscented formula is deeply moisturizing, nonirritating, and safe even for infants, so the whole family can use it.

When I first used this dry shampoo, it blew my mind. First of all, the cushion format means that you don’t have to mess with an out-of-control aerosol or powder, making it useful for when you’re out and about. It also somehow has a cooling effect, which I honestly am looking forward to for the summer months. I’m going to keep this in my bag for touch-ups, especially when I know my hair is probably going to get sweaty and greasy that day.
