Ulta Beauty

Bumble and Bumble

Ulta Beauty

Allure contributing commerce writer Christa Joanna Lee applying the Bumble and Bumble Thickening Dryspun Texture Spray

This is more than your average texture spray, delivering volume, definition, etc, without stiffness or stickiness. Zeolite absorbs excess oil while silk powder creates airy body and grit, making limp hair look instantly fuller and more lived-in. "This spray is desert-island worthy," says Christa Joanna Lee, contributing commerce writer. "There's zero crunch, yet it gives my hair hold and grip while still letting it move naturally."

Allure former shopping market editor Angela Trakoshis applying the Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray

Color Wow

Ulta Beauty

Former contributing writer Jessica Chia once called Best of Beauty Award-winning Color Wow’s Dream Coat Supernatural Spray "the closest thing I've ever found to a raincoat for your hair," and we haven't heard a more accurate description since. This heat-activated spray creates an ultra-glossy, humidity-blocking veil around strands, keeping frizz and puffiness at bay. It also offers heat protection up to 380 degrees Fahrenheit and, unlike many styling products, the effects can last through three to four shampoos. "It makes such a difference without making my hair feel heavy or coated," says Angela Trakoshis, former shopping market editor.

Olaplex

Ulta Beauty

Even if you don’t have damaged hair, you’ll still appreciate what Olaplex’s No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo brings to your in-shower routine. This 2025 Readers’ Choice Award-winner goes beyond simply washing your hair—it supports stronger, healthier strands every time you lather up. The star ingredient, bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate (say that five times fast), reconnects broken disulfide bonds in the hair, which can be damaged by heat styling, coloring, and everyday wear and tear. Coconut oil-derived cleansers sweep away oil, sweat, and buildup while helping hair feel soft, smooth, and healthy-looking after every wash.

Ouai

Ulta Beauty

We could probably fill our online carts with Ouai products alone, but their Detox Shampoo remains an editor favorite, especially in the summer, when your hair is battling a steady flow of chlorine, sweat, scalp SPF, and one too many rounds of dry shampoo. This deep-cleansing formula gives your hair that just-left-the-salon feeling thanks to apple cider vinegar, which sweeps away excess oil, product buildup, hard-water minerals, and everyday grime. Charcoal lends an extra purifying boost, while hydrolyzed keratin smooths frizz and softens hair after cleansing.

La Roche-Posay

Ulta Beauty

Allure senior commerce director Shanna Shipin applying the La Roche Posay Toleriane Double Repair Moisturizer

We know you're supposed to choose a moisturizer based on your skin type, but La Roche-Posay’s Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer is one of those rare formulas that seems to get along with just about everyone. In fact, shopping director Shanna Shipin calls it her "emotional support moisturizer"—the tube she reaches for whenever her skin is acting up. The fragrance-free formula moisturizes with ceramides to help restore and strengthen the skin barrier, while the brand's signature thermal spring water soothes and rebalances stressed-out skin. Niacinamide calms redness and evens tone, and glycerin delivers long-lasting hydration.

Lee applying the Anua PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Capsule Mist

Anua

Ulta Beauty

If anything could give you glass skin in a single step, it would be Anua’s PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Capsule Mist. Suspended throughout the formula are tiny capsules packed with 2,000 ppm (parts per million, or about 0.2%) of salmon-derived PDRN, along with three forms of hyaluronic acid and hydrolyzed collagen that melt into the skin upon application, leaving it looking plumper, bouncier, and glowier. Barrier-supporting ingredients like panthenol, ceramides, allantoin, aloe, and jojoba oil soothe and lock in moisture, while peptides and adenosine promote smoother, healthier-looking skin. The result is the kind of dewy, fresh-faced glow that almost rivals a classic 10-step K-beauty routine.

Saltair

Ulta Beauty

Allure senior director of commerce audience & analytics Lexi Herrick applying the Saltair Shimmering Body Oil

Your favorite summer accessory this year? A shimmery body oil that makes skin look like it's permanently basking in golden hour. Saltair’s Shimmering Body Oil delivers that sun-kissed, just-got-back-from-vacation glow while pulling double duty as a nourishing body treatment. The lightweight formula is infused with fermented saururus, kukui oil, cacay oil, and squalane to soften, soothe, and deeply hydrate without leaving behind a greasy feel. The shimmer catches the light in all the right places—think collarbones, shoulders, and shins—while the summery scent options evoke beach days with notes like coconut, sunflower, and pineapple.

Allure former senior commerce editor Sarah Felbin applying the Mediheal Madecassoside Blemish Pad

Mediheal

Ulta Beauty

When even the thought of starting your nighttime skin-care routine feels exhausting, toner pads make you feel like you've done something for your skin with almost no effort. Mediheal's Madecassoside Blemish Pads are infused with madecassoside—a soothing compound derived from Centella asiatica—to calm active breakouts, reduce redness, and help stressed skin recover faster. Niacinamide evens out tone and fade lingering post-blemish marks, while glycerin delivers lightweight hydration. A lineup of classic K-beauty botanicals, including mugwort, provides extra clarifying support for congested, acne-prone skin.

Banila Co

Ulta Beauty

Allure commerce editor Sarah Han applying the Banila Co Clean it Zero Original Cleansing Balm

A tub of Banila Co’s Clean It Zero Original Cleansing Balm is reportedly sold every few seconds—and after one use, it's easy to see why. Like so many beloved K-beauty products, its major appeal is all about the texture: What starts as a silky sherbet transforms into a luxurious oil the moment it touches skin, seamlessly dissolving makeup, sunscreen, and dirt. Formulated with soothing ingredients such as rooibos leaf and bamboo extract, the balm cleanses thoroughly while leaving skin hydrated and smooth.

Allure former associate manager of audience development Melanie Curry applying the Black Girl Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30

Black Girl Sunscreen

Ulta Beauty

If you have a deeper skin tone and still believe sunscreen comes with a white cast, allow us to introduce you to Black Girl Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30. Created with melanin-rich skin in mind, the sheer, moisturizing formula blends seamlessly into skin, leaving behind a healthy glow instead of an ashy residue. Along with broad-spectrum SPF 30 protection, it nourishes with soothing aloe vera, antioxidant-rich sunflower seed oil, softening jojoba oil, and moisturizing avocado oil and cocoa seed butter.

Round Lab

Ulta Beauty

Allure managing editor Alessandra Foresto applying the Round Lab 1025 Dokdo Toner

If summer heat and humidity leave your skin feeling congested, a splash of Round Lab’s 1025 Dokdo Toner lightly exfoliates without the sting: Protease enzymes loosen dead skin cells, while sugarcane-derived AHAs refine texture for smoother, brighter-looking skin. Its namesake ingredient—mineral-rich deep-sea water sourced near Korea's Dokdo region—is naturally packed with skin-balancing minerals like magnesium and calcium. Meanwhile, glycerin, panthenol, and allantoin keep skin hydrated and supported, making this toner a favorite among sensitive and eczema-prone skin types, too.

Han applying the I’m From Rice Toner

I'm From

Ulta Beauty

The Ulta Big Summer Beauty Sale features yet another K-beauty favorite: I’m From’s Rice Toner. If your skin has been looking a little dull, dehydrated, or uneven after long days in the sun, this milky toner is here to restore your glow. The star ingredient is rice extract sourced from the nutrient-rich outer layer of rice, which contains antioxidants like vitamin E and ferulic acid to defend against environmental stressors. Niacinamide brightens and evens tone, while adenosine supports skin repair and barrier health. “This instantly plumps my skin, giving it a brighter, refreshed look and prepping it for the serums, moisturizers, and sunscreens to follow," says Sarah Han, commerce editor.

Pattern

Ulta Beauty

Allure creative producer Sydney Malone applying the Pattern Hydration Shampoo

People tend to think of dry hair as a winter problem, but between summer sun, salt water, and chlorine, parched strands really don't take a season off. Pattern’s Hydration Shampoo is a creamy cleanser that washes away buildup while replenishing moisture. A nourishing combination of argan, coconut, avocado, jojoba, and sweet almond oils softens and smooths, while aloe vera, honey, and glycerin
