OK! Magazine put BALOOM in its Ultimate Spring Essentials Guide. Here's what they said, and how to choose your spring starting point.
Every spring the same thing happens. The heavy coats go into the closet, the sandals come back out, and you look in the mirror and realize your skin is still dealing with winter.
OK! Magazine's Ultimate Spring Essentials Guide is a roundup of what's worth making room for this season, from skincare to shoes. BALOOM was on the list.
What OK! said
"BALOOM is centered around a minimal-but-maximal approach to skincare – stripping away unnecessary ingredients and complicated routines in favor of high-performance formulas powered by refined, skin-supporting actives."

They also called out what we care about most: clean textures, advanced K-beauty science, and visible results from simple routines at accessible prices.

Four hero products. Which one is your spring starting point?
OK! featured all four of our hero products. You don't need every one of them. Just start with whichever matches what your skin is dealing with after winter.
- Tight, dehydrated, lost its bounce? Collagen Booster Gel. Fig extract and a 5x collagen complex support hydration, elasticity, and your barrier. It stays cushiony for 3–5 minutes, then melts in naturally.
- Dull, uneven, pores more visible? 10% Niacinamide Radiance Serum. With glutathione, it works on tone, dark spots, texture, pores, and hydration in one step.
- Red, irritated, easily stressed? TECA Calming Ampoule. High-concentration Centella asiatica soothes redness and helps restore a compromised barrier.
- Fine lines you want to get ahead of? Bakuchiol + Retinal Intensive Cream. It pairs a gentle retinol alternative with fast-acting retinal to improve fine lines and elasticity overnight with minimal irritation.
One more thing: start sunscreen now, not in July. Spring sun is stronger than it feels, so make SPF your last step every morning.
