Chalaran’s Hydro-Lift Overnight Balm Wins Top Picks Beauty Awards 2026

Chalaran, a premium Korean skincare brand, has earned recognition for its Hydro-Lift Overnight Balm, which has been named a winner in Skin Anarchy’s Top Picks Beauty Awards 2026 for Treatments. The balm, designed as the final step before bed, combines a floral-water-based formula with more than 30 active ingredients, including patented complexes from Chalaran’s specialized skincare R&D and manufacturing partner. These complexes draw on fermentation, peptides, and botanical actives, alongside an 11-vitamin complex, all selected to help skin look smoother, firmer, and more replenished by morning.

The balm is formulated without added fragrance or colorants and falls within EWG Skin Deep’s green, low-hazard range. In a skin irritation test conducted by DERMAPRO, the balm recorded an irritation index of 0.0, indicating its gentle and effective nature.

Before its U.S. launch in April 2026, Chalaran was invited to participate as a gifting sponsor at Columbia Business School’s 20th Annual Retail & Luxury Goods Conference in New York. The conference’s sponsor roster also included well-known brands such as Estée Lauder and L’Oréal. Chalaran’s Hydro-Lift Overnight Balm stands out for its efficacy, formulation, innovation, and impact, making it a standout in the skincare industry.
