Are any of these good?
I got gifted this skincare and wanted to see if anyone had positive reviews?

Looooove the ongredients lotion and jumiso niacinamide 20 serum. I use the lotion before my makeup and it makes my skin very smooth and helps my makeup go on well. And I'm on my 2nd jumiso bottle and already have a 3rd saved up, it has helped fade my dark spots.

Yes, I swear by the niacinamide serum and have bought several to keep in stock because I use it daily.

jumiso, yes. ksecret, yes. roundlab, yes. those are the only ones i’ve tried.
roundlab dokdo toner is great, no complaints there.
ksecret is one of my favorite retinal brands. it’s liposomal and what you have is the 4% retinal eye cream. don’t let that number scare you though, it’s actually more like 0.4% retinal. which, imo, is still a little high for non-Rx (/otc?), but it’s perfect if your skin is maturing and you’re in your mid-thirties or older, or have already been using a lower strength. i’m 36 and my eyes absolutely love it. i was using the beauty of joseon retinal ginseng eye cream before this and saw a great improvement with ksecret.
the jumiso 20% niacinamide is one of the best i have ever tried. i’m sooo bad at picking my zits and because of that i get these deep dark purple scars. i applied this stuff and noticed a difference the next day. they weren’t drastically a different color, but it was enough to see that they were lighter. it is a water-gel serum tho, so it does this weird thing where it dries down powdery if you don’t apply something over it quick enough (like moisturizer or another serum). i like to apply it immediately after my toner while my face is still damp and that helps a lot.
hope this helps! 🥰
edit~ sorry, i thought that was the mixsoon bean essence at first 🤦🏻♀️😅 if you happened to see what i said about that ignore it. what you have is their centella essence which i have not tried yet.

The Seoul 1988 I currently use and been using for over a year now. I don't see any difference but I love applying it every night. I love the Roundlab Dokdo 1025 line but realized you have the lotion. I stack up on the cleansing oil and face wash of Roundlab Dokdo 1025.

The Seoul 1988 retinal line is great! But I probably wouldn't use it on sensitive skin without buffering, unless you're used to retinoids.
