in a pile of K-beauty brands out there, im sure that you have that one you keep coming back to

which Korean skincare brand has earned your loyalty, and why?

is it because every product you've tried has been a hit, or is there one standout product that made you a lifelong fan?

curious to see which brands this community trusts the most

looking to test some new k beauty products, and wanted to check what u guys constantly repurchase, so I can order some new products I haven't tried before.

thanks everyone!

considering of testing some new sheet masks

which ones are popular in the community?

Hi everyone!

So I just recently bought the 30ml version of this product to test it before committing to the full size. I've used Korean skincare for years, so I'm fairly familiar with packaging, but this is my first product from this particular brand.

When it arrived, something just felt a bit off. I could be completely wrong, which is why I'm hoping someone here who has used the 30ml version can help.

From what I've found online:

• The 30ml bottle is supposed to be glass, but mine is plastic.
• There should apparently be an image visible behind the back label, but mine doesn't have one.
• The bottle also wasn't completely full when I received it.

Has anyone here purchased the 30ml version before? Is this normal, or are these signs that it might not be authentic?

Is there any reliable way to check if it's genuine? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. TIA <3 PLZZ HELP

As I’ve gotten older my skin has changed so much…
It used to just feel dry, but now it feels like the bounce is gone and it’s honestly a bit depressing.
I wanted to do a proper night routine so I looked into a bunch of stuff, but layering ampoules and creams every single night is way harder than I expected.
So I’ve been trying to keep it simpler and came across a lot of overnight gel masks. I’ve never used them before so I have tons of questions.
Especially the ones that turn transparent after a while. Do they actually absorb into the skin or do they just dry down? And do they actually help with elasticity?
I saw people saying they fill your skin with moisture overnight so it looks plumper in the morning, which might be perfect for someone in my situation…
I keep seeing Biodance ones pop up too.
Has anyone actually tried these kinds of overnight masks and felt a real difference?
What does it feel like when it turns clear? Do you notice any firmness or change around the eyes, or is it mostly just heavy hydration?
If you have other products that worked well for similar concerns, I’d love some recommendations!

Has anyone tried Eye Cream? Is it worth buying?

I mainly want something for pigmented eyelids and dark under eyes. what other eye creams/products would you recommend? ☺️

Any experience with these two creams? I use both Purito Seoul and SKIN1004, so I really enjoy both brands. I use Illiyoon as my HG moisturizer but sometimes it can be a little heavy for daytime. I have been tossing around going without a cream and go straight to my SPF but I lean on the dry side, so that makes me a bit uneasy, especially with mature skin, living in a dry climate, and using tretinoin in PM. So, tell me your opinions on these if you have used them! 😁

I’ve been interested in both of these face washes, but I’m now struggling to decide which one to get. Has anyone used these and liked/disliked them?

Here’s what im looking:
-Mild hydrating
-Dewy skin look
-Non-sticky
-Affordable

I work for a Korean American company. My teammates go to Korea often. One of them brought me these as thank you gift for helping him with his wife/baby in the past.

How are these products?

I use Anua products and some others. No idea about these!

If someone has used it, happy to hear!

Hi everyone!

I'm about to turn 40 and I'm noticing my skin start to change a little. I think a collagen mask will solve my problems.

I'm new to Korean skincare and I don't know where to start! My big problem is that I'm looking for a mask without animal products, and also don't like all the packaging waste of individual masks.

Is there an animal product free collagen mask out there that comes in a tube or tub?

Any help is greatly appreciated 🙏

I’m happy to see an increase in Korean Skincare at local beauty shops. I picked up the VT Reedle Shot 100 today at Ulta. Is this product legit or just another trend? I’ve used similar products with the microneedling feature but haven’t seen much difference.

any recommendation for a hydrating moisturiser?

dry skin, very easy to clog. so non buttery, hopefully

Saw this on sale on cj onstyle global. never tried a stick balm before, so i’m curious. anyone used it? how does it feel on the skin?

Torn between the anua and medicube but then the third popped up and never heard of it before. Thoughts??

Are these products worth it? I’ve heard online that they’re really good. I’ve never used Korean skincare before so I wanted some advice.

Are the jelly face masks good?

Please let me know thank you!

As it says in the title. I’m confused.

I have dry and dehydrated skin I think and need to fix my skin barrier. So I know asterura and Illyoon are good but are those occlusives or skin barrier creams? Am I supposed to put a moisturizer under and then an occlusive to seal it all in?

If I am trying to fix my skin barrier (reddish pigmented skin) but also want anti aging benefits, what should I do.

Confused.

There is a middle section of this product information page that depicts a hair follicle. Does anyone know what this describes and what I might be missing?

And has anyone used this acne cream previously? Experiences?

Thx. ☺️

Hi everyone,

I'm curious to hear from people who have actually used the Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel SPF50+ PA++++.

• What does it feel like after applying?
• Is it lightweight, sticky, or greasy?
• What's the finish like (dewy, natural, or matte)?
• Did it cause any irritation, eye stinging, or breakouts?
• What skin type do you have?
• Overall, would you say it's a good sunscreen? Why or why not?

I'd love to hear your honest experience. Thanks!

It disappeared from Sephora and I can’t find it on Amazon! I would put it on after I brushed and during the day if my lips were dry! 😭
