The Pyunkang Yul Essence saved my skin from a skin barrier disaster. And that’s still hard for me to believe. It’s one of just a few products that my skin could tolerate. It wasn’t just tolerable, either. It helped to heal my skin. I’m still amazed by that.

Great conversation about redundancy that I've never really considered - thank you!

This whole list is basically my 'want to try list' Haha I don't know where to start.

I also want to give the More Mild Lotus Cream Toner by Swanicoco a try.

@user-eg4ie5ti9q 14 дней назад

I'm new to skincare and while trying to put together a routine that makes sense, I'm absolutely catching myself sneeking in some products that are - well - redundant... I'm trying to be super minimalistic so: clean (foam), hydrate (toner), treat (serum), protect (sunscreen AM/moisturizer PM). But the Dr Ceuracle or the Mixsoon essences are good examples for products I kinda wanna fit somewhere so I come up with some new steps just to fit them in, something like "hydrating/moisturizing balance". It's just basically my FOMO!

@MenchieExtrakt 7 месяцев назад

As a dry skin girly (dry even when the humidity is at 85%), I never felt like toner did much. I just use it because it feels like part of a ritual, and it adds hydration right after washing my face. Essences have been really useful for me, and their viscosity also makes application easier.

@Muhavi835 7 месяцев назад

K Beauty has sooo many great essences that it is indeed difficult. I treat essences like toners, I usually use essences instead of toners for my dry skin.

@elacampusano7341 7 месяцев назад

Hi Alice, now that I'm more mature I'm wondering more about what steps in my routine have made a big difference to my skin, because I've been buying items that haven't done anything for my skin, I feel like it makes a lot more sense to prioritize and What do I want to achieve with my routine and eliminate all the steps that are redundant in my routine, for example my priority is hyperpigmentation and for my skin to generate collagen and maintain it and I am studying to buy with conscience, plus things are so expensive in my country that I have to start taking things more seriously, before or until recently I did not think about establishing priorities and the economy is chaos in Chile and they raised the rent of my apartment a lot 😭, so that is my reality now. A kiss Alice and I hope you have a great week 🥰

@AliceintheRabbitHole 6 месяцев назад

I think that’s a wise approach in general! And yes, I hate the economic instability. It seems to be practically a worldwide problem right now (which I guess makes sense given just how much is going horribly in some parts of the world 💔). I think it ends up affecting all of us!

@emiliegrenier83 6 месяцев назад

@eonarts 6 месяцев назад

Before Black Friday I watched your videos and decided I would ass the kombucha one. My skin (normal, resilient, aging) LOVES toners/essences. Of course I started with 1 and then worked my way up to 6! I do use them for layering between actives. I wasn’t quite sure where to put the kombucha one but now I’ll add it just before moisturizers. I have been having problems with being dehydrated (which means it’s going to affect my skin) this year. I do drink enough water but now drink electrolytes a couple of times a week. I can see it in my skin sometimes so I’ll usually jump up and drink some electrolytes…. I really should have added ALL the toners on my wishlist as I’m still down 2 now that the kombucha has moved out of my toner part of my routine! 😂 My dehydrated skin loves all the hydrating toners I put on it! Luckily I only seem to be allergic to rice, yea I know it’s all the rage which means it’s on the label!

@AliceintheRabbitHole 6 месяцев назад

Glad to hear it’s going well for you! It really is a wonderful category of skincare 😍

@ainakunigelyte 5 месяцев назад

Hey Alice, I like the point abiout the Jumiso essence bringing the other products deeper, but I saw in other video you recommended first to apply those other actives and on top of it the Cosrx snail essence, and I think with this one wouldnt it work same? for example firsly apply a dedicated peptide serum or any other concentrated serum and then this Jumiso essence on top and it will help that other serum to go deeper, kind of bring it together with it into deeper layers of the skin, you know what I mean?:)) what do you think of that order?:)

Yayyy love your videos :D I have been wanting to try the onion and pyunkang yul essence ! i love the kombucha one 😍 random question for you? i am looking to get a medicube device and i’ve watched your reviews on them. which would you recommend for fine lines forming like on the forehead from expressions ? like the 11s or lines from raising your eyebrows on the forehead? i know you said the smile lines were reduced when you used the ussera deep shot, would it also be effective for the forehead too? thanks for all the great content :’)

@AliceintheRabbitHole 7 месяцев назад

Yup, probably the ussera. That said, I’m still working on my deep dive of all these devices (sometime in Jan) so I admit I haven’t yet done all the research on RF at this point. You might want to see if one of the esthetician channels here has more advice on the best option (Penn Smith is great!)

@agiles6483 7 месяцев назад

I don’t think I could make my essences redundant, but I like having multiple skincare steps. I haven’t tried the Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner, but I agree that all of the remaining essences are some the best in their categories, I have them all. I cannot give up my toners or my essences, their different ingredients have different effects and I mix and match them to care for my dry/normal, mature skin and rosacea. I am excited to try new products in the coming year and a bit sad to retire others when they are no longer the best for me.

@Muhavi835 7 месяцев назад

Taking absolutely nothing away from Alice's gorgeous review, the PKY essence - toner was too lightweight for my mature skin. YMMV though?

@AliceintheRabbitHole 6 месяцев назад

It is sad when that happens. I feel it has happened mostly as a result of reformulation for me (or just that situation of a product being good but not the “best” from the start)

@agiles6483 6 месяцев назад

Alice, you have played a wonderful part in my skincare journey, I appreciate every video because I can understand how much research and time has gone into your conclusions about a brand or product. My skin is the best it has been despite my age. I admire how you can retire products when you find something new and better. I struggle to do this quickly because I feel obligated to use all of a product, unless I absolutely can’t tolerate it.

@catherinelynnfraser2001 7 месяцев назад

I have been thinking about this and I will think about it for a while. I think if you are severely dehydrated and very short of time, the essence phase is important. You might not need to use this twice a day, or every day if you are using a toner sheet mask and serum. I think this would be very effective after toning, before your retinol/retinoid in the evening.

@AliceintheRabbitHole 6 месяцев назад

Definitely agree! I do think the difference between dehydrated vs dry can be very confusing at times, as dehydration is a temporary concern while dryness is a skin type. Thus an essence (or other deep hydrator) can help “fix” dehydration. And dry skin types will need a heavier moisturizer for life!

Thanks, great video. I have a question regarding Essences. You say they may contain oils? So If I put an essence on after washing skin, since it has oil in it, are serums able to penetrate the essence and go into the skin? I think of this especially with the Dr. Ceuracle essence, it feels heavenly and I want to feel that subsequent serums will penetrate.

@AliceintheRabbitHole 7 месяцев назад

Oils don’t block absorption. You might be thinking of occlusives, and while some oils have SOME occlusive properties, it’s more accurate to call them emollient overall ☺️

@janesmitson7404 7 месяцев назад

@@AliceintheRabbitHole Glad you told me that. Why did I feel that oils were occlusives...I recently got the rose hips oil from The Ordinary and apply after my moisturizer at night thinking it was an occlusive. I guess now I'll put a thin layer of Vaseline as an occlusive, on top of all of it.

@RobertoGiovannini 7 месяцев назад

I'm starting to loath the complete lack of regulation on skincare naming conventions. My favourite essences (ByWishtrend propolis and Neogen Micro essences) are what I would call a "watery serum". They are not meant to be layered like toners, but pack a lighter punch than a typical serum. An example of a serum that I would totally rename as essence is the Isntree Bifida Ampoule. I love its ingredients and the watery form, but I totally don't use it in my serum step 😅

Isntree Green Tea toner! Slappity slap! etc etc until my skin stays hydrated for at least 2 min. Then it's enough to move on with serum and/or moisturizer and sunblock.

@AliceintheRabbitHole 6 месяцев назад

Hmmm. Well there’s a few options you could try: first off a heavy duty occlusive. Doesn’t have to be Vaseline/aquaphor, could be a good sleeping mask as well. You could also add in an oil, as those are great for softening/filling in the cracks in dry skin. And yes, the mixsoon is great but I feel you shouldn’t have to purchase it immediately to fix the problem (because I assume you do have a pretty good assortment of toners/essences?) I would suggest you try the 7-layer method plus the oil, plus the occlusive. I think that should help!

Hmm, they’re on par as being both excellent options to me, but Isntree’s is much more viscous. I repurchased Anua’s because I constantly do the DIY mask system, so it’s a better fit for my preferences; if you don’t do that, you might prefer Isntree’s. Hope that helps!

it's odd, the CoxRx snail mucin did absolutely NOTHING for my dry sin but the Jumiso has been one of the most hydrating products I've EVER used in my life - does anyone know why?

@AliceintheRabbitHole 6 месяцев назад

Peptides are humectants! I’ve become such a fan of the whole category, and maybe they do a whole lot more, but…I can absolutely say, they boost hydration!

Could one not just swap out the toner with an essence for greater results? Making the toner the redundant one? 🤔

Alice i think you got a bad batch of the Dr C. Ive had mine 1 year and its not gone off at all. Im not sure which essence ill try next. Ive built a heft cart .😂

@AliceintheRabbitHole 6 месяцев назад

I’ve wondered that too. Thankfully it lasted pretty well; it was only about 1/5-1/6 of the bottle that smelled funky!

I use my essences instead of toners haha 😂

I can't use any product that has soy 😢 I'm not acne prone, my skin is on the drier side and at times can be sensitive but for some reason my skin hates soy. I will wake up the following morning with big red pimples. I kinda suspect it's more of a bad/allergic reaction than acne.

@AliceintheRabbitHole 6 месяцев назад

So sorry to hear! It’s helpful to have it narrowed down in terms of allergies/reactions though - can personally attest to this after figuring out (and then avoiding!) my own allergens

Are there any k beauty essences without butylene glycol 😭

@AliceintheRabbitHole 6 месяцев назад

Yeah it’s harder to find essences without that (given its humectant/thickening properties). Hmm, maybe toners instead? The toner pad method might be a great solution for you too!

@Muhavi835 6 месяцев назад

Unless you are happy with single ingredient essences, BG is in everything?! Sorry. Have a look at Skin Deva's CoQ10 serum? It is lightweight enough to use as an essence but powerfully formulated to qualify as serum. It is also very cost effective and can go toe to toe with kbeauty viz quality and cost. Good hunting!

@Muhavi835 6 месяцев назад

@@AliceintheRabbitHole Very true. Have you tried DIY fermented rice water with cotton pad method or in spritz bottle? You may be surprised at how quick and effective this is as toner step. Super cheap too.

Did you watch other videos by the Monodist? That’s one video where she says that there are no difference between essences, ampoules, serums etc..

@AliceintheRabbitHole 7 месяцев назад

Yeah tbh that makes sense to me, especially when you notice that products feel named randomly - ie that Skinfood Essence; it absolutely could be called a serum!

@db-gb5xi 7 месяцев назад

I've read something similar in an article when I was trying to figure out what the differences were. The article basically said to use what works for your skin and don't feel pressured to use them all.

Motorist also said it was marketing ploy to make you buy more stuff.

@db-gb5xi 7 месяцев назад

A lot of stuff is marketing. I've heard Dr Dray say that in her videos. Like male skincare or kids skincare or night skincare. A lot of it is how brands get more money.@@noneofurbusiness5223
