Seeking advice: Which K-beauty skincare products should we start with for Lebanon & Syria?

Hello everyone, We are a distributor based in Beirut, Lebanon, currently exploring the K-beauty market. We are interested in bringing Korean skincare brands into the Lebanese and Syrian markets, but as this is a new category for us, we would really appreciate guidance from brands and fellow distributors with experience in this region. A bit about our market: Consumers in Lebanon are increasingly aware of K-beauty trends (via social media, regional beauty retailers, and Gulf market spillover), but the category is still relatively young compared to GCC markets The Syrian market is at an even earlier stage, with limited formal distribution channels but growing demand, especially in urban areas like Damascus. Climate is hot and dry for much of the year, with high sun exposure, hydration and sun care tend to perform well. Price sensitivity is a real factor, especially given current economic conditions in both countries, so we're looking for products with a strong value/efficacy ratio rather than ultra-premium price points only. We are open to starting with a smaller trial order to test the market before committing to larger volumes, and we're happy to share more details about our distribution network (pharmacies, beauty retail, e-commerce) upon request. Thank you in advance for any advice or brand introductions, we're excited to bring K-beauty to this region!
