The skincare aisle at Coles is getting glow-up this September, with more than 100 new products launching nationally, including K-beauty at Coles for the first time

The launch brings some of K-beauty’s most in-demand brands to Coles, including grocery-exclusive brands COSRX, Beauty of Joseon and Tony Moly. Customers can shop Tony Moly and Real Nature in store and online now, with COSRX and Beauty of Joseon arriving from Friday 25 September

From a trending serum to a sheet mask or cleanser, customers can now shop skincare favourites in the same trip as milk, bread and other everyday essentials

Coles will also launch its first limited-time K-beauty Trend Drop now avaliable in selected stores featuring a curated edit from Skinfood, The Face Shop and Tony Moly, available in store and online until Tuesday 3 November, while stocks last

The limited-time Trend Drop will be showcased on a dedicated display, making it easy for customers to discover and trial K-beauty favourites, from cleansers and cleansing oils to toners, serums and face masks, priced between $4 and $25

The launch comes as K-beauty continues to capture global attention, driven by social media, ingredient-led discovery and growing customer interest in easy and effective skincare routines. On TikTok, #kbeauty content has attracted more than 40 billion views globally in the past four months, demonstrating the huge appetite for Korean skincare and beauty trends.¹

Coles Business Category Manager Health, Beauty and Baby, Kate O’Connor said the launch is about making in-demand beauty more accessible for customers across Australia

“By bringing trend-led skincare to more than 850 Coles stores nationally and online, we are making beauty easier to access for customers across Australia

“Customers can now pick up a serum, sheet mask or cleanser in the same shop as their milk, bread and everyday essentials, making beauty discovery more convenient and part of the regular Coles shop

“This launch brings more than 100 new skincare products to Coles nationally, across K-beauty, therapeutic skincare, body care, teen and acne ranges, and everyday skincare essentials

The K-beauty launch brings together some of the category’s most recognisable brands, including COSRX attracting more than 5.8 billion views globally on TikTok.²

Known for its clinical approach to K-beauty and Advanced Snail range, COSRX joins Beauty of Joseon, which blends traditional Korean ingredients with modern skincare, and Tony Moly, known for its playful and accessible approach to skincare

The limited-time Trend Drop also includes Skinfood, known for food-inspired skincare, and The Face Shop, which offers nature-led skincare across cleansers, masks, toners and serums

Beyond K-beauty, Coles’ broader skincare refresh brings more newness to shelves across therapeutic-style skincare, scent-led body care, affordable skincare, and teen and acne ranges
