I really appreciate James' honesty on getting cheek filler and botox, it's so good to hear that you're so open about products and not claiming it does something that botox/filler does.
Olive Young customer service is horrible. I've ordered product for €80 but there was €30 extra cost, so I sent them an e-mail asking for what was the €30 for but there was no answer.
@@ithsara4684 idk what to tell you man. i mean stuff like that happenes when it comes to international orders. personally, ive never had a bad experience with olive young besides spending too much money all at once
@@ithsara4684 It might be the shipping cost. Whenever I've ordered products from Korea (shipping to Canada) it costs at least KRW 30,000 (~$30 CAD) for tracked international shipping. You can sometimes get cheaper shipping if you choose an untracked option, but the shipping speed for that is really slow so most websites don't offer it. If the extra cost was charged on arrival in your country, it could also be taxes or duties that you have to pay for importing foreign goods.
@@Flawlesslmperfection yep especially because of covid. its better to use services that will buy the item in the native country (in this case korea) then ship it at u. there are fees for shipping, weight, etc. but its generally cheaper depending on what ur buying.
This is my go to for all things K-beauty. Even just for “window shopping” and learning about ingredients and brands I’ve never heard of. So I appreciate you and your channel so much.
I much agree! I used to use US brands but so many products burned my skin time and time again. Since I started using kbeauty many years ago, nothing has burned my skin ever again!
I really appreciate that you disclose that you get Botox and fillers when talking about skin care results, it helps reviewers have realistic expectations.
ahh finally non-k youtubers are using the brands that koreans actually use more often!! :) it was sometimes frustrating to see kbeauty brands in the non korean community that none of us rlly use
I've started using k-beauty 10 years ago and there are soooooo many more brands to choose from now! And it felt like they were always 5 - 10 years ahead regarding skincare (and makeup too tbh)
I'm korean and all the products you're talking about are super popular. Kahi stick says it has collagen which is super popular these days. I also use Round lab toner and products from The lab by blac doux. I love both brands cuz they are so mild and soothing.
Yessss!!! Love that your showing k-beauty that’s popular in Korea! Maybe you can do a video comparing popular k-beauty products in Korea vs the west :))
I just realized they have cosrx at my local walmart, not a great selection but I managed to get the snail mucin power essence and moisturizer today, so excited to use them tonight
@@koratora2468 I got the pimple patches today too. I don’t suffer from acne but once in a while I get a little itchy bump here and there and the patch keeps me from scratching my face off
You are definitely one of the best skincare influencers! The way you present the products and your product suggestions are just amazing! Plus the love for k-beauty 😍 Love the Round Lab brand, gentle, soothing and hydrating. I suggest also the Dokdo line from the same brand *chef's kiss*
Yeah I noticed that we get the less popular ones or not well known in Korea like purito wasn't well known but was popular in the west. I'd love to see more popular products high end and low end
I don't know if it's the clearly presented information or the positivity, but I've been binging you and your brother every time I need good vibes. Can you please do a video on how to recognize what your skin issues are? Absolutely love the content, thanks!
@@rosey_ie thanks! He did one a few years ago on determining your skin type, but it wasn't super comprehensive and I know James has grown a lot since then and may have more detailed advice to offer.
this is spot on!!! i'm back in korea right now and i was surprised to see how James got all of these popular items spot on. they're all best sellers or ranked top for popular items currently at olive young! also everyone is obsessed with that kahi (kah-hee) beauty balm right now... they have so many commercials for that here lol
Love your videos. I'd love a K-beauty video for beginners. Like what is what and what is good for different skin types ect! How to not get tricked into buying fads ect. I love all your infp
James, I'd love to see a video listing your most favourite soothing products, K-beauty or otherwise. I have dry/combination skin like a lot of 30+ year olds and when you mentioned that "tight" feeling you get after using certain products, I totally related to the feeling. I want to know what refreshing/calming skincare you would recommend! ✨💕
I love K beauty and I use K several beauty and K beauty inspired skincare on a daily basis. But(!): I’d love to hear about J beauty in general, J beauty products and J beauty trends. Lots of love ✌️😽💗
my k beauty favourites is definitely all the sunscreens I’ve tried!!! I want to try the round lab birch one next, maybe I’ll purchase from olive young 👀 thanks for introducing me to so many new products in this video, I love reviews like this 🤗
I love the Avene Xeracalm ad cream! It's so wonderful for sensitive dry skin. I don't know if it's very popular but it's the best moisturizer I've ever used. Glad Avene products are popular there, they are pretty amazing
Thank you for your transparency with the links and the 'work' you've had on your face. I stopped watching beauty/skincare gurus cause I just felt like they were recommending every new product they were paid to "like". And saying how well a product helped them with a certain problem that they actually got professionally 'fixed'. Nothing wrong with getting procedures or getting sponsored but I just want the honesty so I appreciate your videos. I don't know if just clicking the links supports you but I clicked each and one of them just to do so.
I am obsessed with the Hanyul Red Rice Essential Skin Softener . The skin looks so plump & hydrated after application . Part from Hanyul I am also hooked on the Primera products . Hope you can review on these two brands .
I also have hanyul bean serum, and I like it so far. I will try Mixoon’w bean serum next. I also like isoi’s rose serum. My skin brightened a lot (my dark spots faded!) after using isoi serum. I’m on my second bottle for this. Also, I like manyo galac niacin serum because it’s the only niacin serum that doesn’t make my base makeup roll and it’s somehow hydrating under make up without being greasy.
My favorite Korean brand is innisfree. I keep going back to their green tea line over more expensive skincare. I love their green serum I must have used up 6 bottles so far
This is a great video. We get to know other good brands from Korea aside from the well known brands from Korea like Cosrx, Some By Mi, Innisfree, etc. Korea is very fortunate that they have tons of good options for skincare products. I'm feeling envious.😁👍👍
The Aestura brand you showed really peaked my interest. Lately I've been getting fed up trying all these different face creams/lotions. They all have felt heavy, greasy and suffocating. As soon as I get slightly heated up from a brisk walk I feel like my face is just dripping from the lotion I've used. I've been looking for something that is lightweight and actually absorbs into my skin, so I'm very curious to try out those first products you've shown. Thank you for this video, I've always been interested in K-beauty brands 😇💕
I tried the Aestura Atobarrier cream and lotion because I heard their products were popular in Korea, and I can see why. Their products are great for dry sensitive skin and apply very nicely. Will definitely try out more from this brand.
@@lucyjames8818 Both are great in my opinion, very moisturizing. The cream can get quite heavy so I only use it at night. I like the lotion more since it's more lightweight, but I wish it came with the same packaging as the cream. The pump dispenses too much product if you're not careful and the opening sometimes gets clogged because of air exposure... Packaging aside, I still repurchased both. My skin loves their products.
Yes! I always look forward to K-beauty specific videos the most! It's also how I fell in love with skincare, and it can sometimes be hard to shop for (without knowing Korean 😅).
I just got the Peach& Lily glass skin serum, and ive only been using it for 3 days now, and my pores already look cleaner& smaller. I'm so excited to see results with this one💝💝 I also got the CosRX Snail mucin moisturizer &started using the serum again too, and my face feels nice and soft and Plump. I love it
@@blee8607 I didn't know that, it's in the international section in Ulta, and on the bottle it says made in Korea, distributed in NY so I figured it was a Korean brand. Thank you!
I think it is just Korean inspired. I don't think Olive Young global even has Peach&Lily products. But if the product works for you then keep using it.
I've been usining k-Skincare for about 2 years now after my friends recommended it to me. I made the change after my old skincare products just kept making my skin worse & worse as I got older, especially after I had my daughter. I tried so many different brands and that, expensive ones and cheap one, ones that were recommended to me but none worked. So I started trying Korean skincare products and I noticed a change almost instantly. It took a few tries to find the exact ones that worked best for my skin but I didn't have to try to many different ones and even though I only do my skincare every 2 days (I'm really bad at self care lol) my skin doesn't suffer for it and it still works amazing. I have specific ones I'll use. Every now and then I may try something new just to see but there are 3 specific ones I'll never stop using. One being the Volcanic clay mask by Innisfree. I love it so much. I only use it once a month really. I don't need to use it anymore then that. Another one is the All Clean Balm by heimish. It's my oil cleanser and I use it twice a week or so right before I use my normal cleanser. And the other is the Bija Spot Treatment by Innisfree. I've been very lucky to not have suffered that badly from breakouts over the years but when I do get a rare breakout or a stray pimple here or there, I use this 2-3 times a day, depending on the size, a little also goes a long way, and it clears them up so fast.
please do more new k beauty recommendations. i was looking through yesstyle the other day realizing that i have no idea what is going on in that world!
Hi James! I've been watching your videos for almost 2 years and now I just influenced my husband to watch your videos with me. He has been loving your videos on beard routines. Can you please do more videos catered for men with beard? It would help so much. Not just for my husband but also for a lot of men out there. Love you James !!
Heyyyy!!! Ahhh thanks so much for sticking with me! Toners and chemical exfoliants are great for getting to the skin under the beard and keeping them flake free. Also a brush beard! Any facial moisturisers labelled ‘lotion’ tend to have a more liquidy consistency that gets to the skin under the beard better depending on how thick it is!
@@JamesWelsh OMG youu replied! Thank you so much for the advice! My husband is browsing for the products you just mentioned. He immediately bought the beard brush, Glow Recipe Watermelon juice moisturizer and facial cleansing brush (as recommended from your other videos). Will that be able to moisturize underneath the beard?
I would like this as well. I've been helping my brother (with a beard) develop a skincare routine. One of his biggest issues is ingrown hairs where he shaves. I'm not really sure what to recommend to prevent that.
I started watching your channel right at the start of the pandemic (3 years ago?10? 50? who knows anymore) and I wanted to try the products you were showing, like from Cosrx, Dr Jart, Iunik and so on... Now I have the most amazing skin I have ever had!!! Plus some mild obsession with K-skincare, but I think of it as a good thing :D Thank you so much James
The Kahi eye balm is great on the winter days with the wind stinging your eyes and your breath coming from wearing a mask. I really felt my eyes weren't hurting and drying out if I put this on before going out.
James I know it's like super old video now but it's so useful for me now as I am in Korea. I watched couple RU-vid videos regarding this topic and I must say you do it the best. I think if some RU-vidrs are using the term "healing properties" they should describe what they mean by that or if there's any clinical testing done on the product. So thank you for not using gimmick words that mean nothing :)
I might be wrong, but I thought the Aestura Atobarrier line was for eczema. My aunt bought it for me saying it's recommended for eczema. And in Korean eczema = a-to-pi. Thought the 'ato' came from that. Not sure if it's true but it's one of the only lotions that has NEVER irritated my eczema skin no matter the state it's in.
I think it’s not specifically for eczema but formulated for everyone including people with eczema. I think it’s for people with skin barrier problems, which people with eczema are definitely included in!
Thanks for the awesome review, I love it❤️ Your nails look so cool and love the led lights. Your skin seems very stressed/blotchy and with a slight rash in this video especially on your nose and a little bit on your cheeks and forehead. Only noticed because I have very sensitive skin that overreacts and my skin go's like that after I washed it with something harsh or used too much product too quickly without letting my skin rest in between applications. Your skin looks so amazingly hydrated though! Thanks for the great content
So I heard you talk about Glow Recipe alot and I decided to try it. I am crazy about it now!! I use the moisturizer as a serum and I love what it does for my skin!!
I use the Korean face masks that i get off amazon and they are so amazing my skin is always feeling amazing afterwards. Im definitely going to look more into these products. I really need more of a routine
When I reached out to Peach & Lily for a personalized routine maybe 5 years back they recommended Atoclassic - they no longer carry and it reminds me of Aestura so I look forward to having something for skin barrier repair on hand. I have yet to try anything Yuja but just say James was ultra glowy in the BS Bandwagon panel the other day - maybe it was this delicious sleeping pack 🤔✨. Props to James for pronouncing all these ingredients 👏🏼
James, I love this episode! I’m addicted to OYG and ordered massive products… finally direct access to Korean skincare products and free shipping! great selections and looking forward for more of your recommendations! Please check out I’m from Honey mask. It’s just perfect to hydrate and give a glow finish.
You have to buy The Lab's Sunscreen~It's the only sunscreen that I always forget I wear because it never gives me any skin irritation. I'm always astonished that at the end of the day before I remove the sunscreen I feel and see my skin is at its best condition. I have ultra sensitive skin. Living in Korea,I've tried A LOT of Korean sunscreen but this is the best for me! I will literally die if this is discontinued. PS. Noticed it's not already available in Olive Young shops and even their online shop so I have to buy it through The Lab's website.
James, my japanese friend told me the bean hype actually not a new thing, she said this a long time ago. She said soybean had this isoflavon that made skin plumpier? and moist? and a good fat for skin. You know the 'tofu/mochi skin goals"? Basically they want their skin to look as soft as soft tofu/ mochi. She also eat a lot of tofu fyi, while here i am still munching my nuggets like theres no tommorrow😔
Japan's Sana Nakamerahonpo Soybean skincare, from the face wash to toner, milk and cream, is very popular with both Koreans and Japanese because of the affordable and cheap pricing (less than USD 10 dollars in Japan for most products), and I can say that it has been around longer than Round Lab Korea.
If youre a kdrama addict like me, seeing kahi everywhere is just kinda an overkill for me lol. The PPLs are just too much. Have to be honest, I think I am gonna cave in one day lol
Hii! Try Klavuu White Pearlization, I absulut love it, the cleanser is wonderful, the serum has 33 actives, like probiotics, fatty acids, niacinamide, a lot of antioxidants, alge extracts etc etc and the packing is sooooo beautiful. Everything had parfum but is really gentle and the cream is ultra hidrating, really good for dry skin, winter etc. Sulwhasoo is another wonderful, very rich in ingredients.
I follow some korean skinfluencers on youtube, since than I discovered many brands and products. One channel is Soo Beauty and she does most videos in english. And also EuniUnni
I dream of going to Korea again so I can hang out in Olive Young and all the other skincare shops aaah :) On soy in skincare, I was browsing today after having seen an interesting Japanese toner and apparently there's a fair bit of positive studies of the effect of soy isoflavones (estrogen-like effects) as far as skin aging. Looks as though isoflavones can stimulate collagen production which makes it interesting and kinda promising in skincare!
