Peach & Lily

Peach & Lily was founded in 2012 by Alicia Yoon, a licensed esthetician with degrees from Harvard Business School and certifications in both Korean and Western skincare. Yoon started the brand as a curated K-beauty marketplace, introducing American consumers to Korean skincare products and the multi-step routine concept. In 2018, Peach & Lily launched its own product line, with the Glass Skin Refining Serum becoming an instant bestseller that popularized the 'glass skin' terminology in Western beauty. The brand's own-label products combine Korean formulation principles with ingredients vetted to Western clean beauty standards. Peach & Lily is available through its own website, Ulta, and Target.
