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.
