Mary Kay launched the K-Beauty Texture Edit on 5 October 2026, a special-edition collection of three Korea-made skin care products priced from $26 to $32 each in the US.

Mary Kay describes the collection as inspired by Korean skin care and self-care, and it follows the brand's global platform, Beauty Is More Beautiful Shared, which launched in September 2026.

What's New
The K-Beauty Texture Edit covers three familiar steps: cleansing, patches and moisturizing. Mary Kay says each product is designed to fit into an existing routine, so customers can try new textures without replacing their current regimen. There is no bundled set. The products are sold individually.
The Products and Prices
Melt-In Cleansing Balm, $26 (1.6 fl. oz.)
This is a twist-to-dispense balm that, according to Mary Kay, melts on contact into a velvety oil and turns milky when water is added. The brand lists a PDRN (salmon DNA) infusion, rice bran oil, vitamin E and an emollient blend that it says helps dissolve impurities, face makeup and excess oil. Mary Kay says the balm leaves skin feeling soft and clean.
Snail Gel Face Patches, $32 (60 patches, 3.1 oz.)
These are flexible, embossed hydrogel patches shaped for areas such as the forehead and cheeks. They are separate from Mary Kay's existing Hydrogel Eye Patches. The brand says the formula combines snail mucin (snail secretion filtrate), niacinamide, licorice extract and triple hyaluronic acid to help hydrate and brighten the appearance of skin, with a cooling hydrogel base.
Collagen Moisturizing Gel, $28 (1.6 fl. oz.)
This is a pale pink jelly moisturizer. Mary Kay says it delivers hydration, plumpness and a "glass skin" glow. Listed ingredients include low-molecular-weight collagen peptides, niacinamide, squalane, and a superfood blend of oat kernel, tomato, spinach and blueberry extracts.
How to Use
Mary Kay gives these directions for each product:
- Cleansing Balm: Give it a half turn for bare skin or a full turn on sunscreen or makeup days. Melt the balm, massage it in, add water and rinse. Use it alone or as the first step of a double cleanse, up to twice daily.
- Face Patches: Use 2–3 times a week. Apply to clean skin with the included spatula and leave on for 20 minutes. Avoid the eye and lip areas. Pat in any remaining essence and reseal the jar.
- Moisturizing Gel: Dip the spatula in, dab the gel onto skin and press to absorb. Use morning and evening on the face and neck, avoiding the eye area. The brand says it can be used as a seasonal swap for another Mary Kay moisturizer or layered with one.
