Alice! Hi! Yes shipping is so slow. Glad you finally got the Cosrx peptide serum! I’m seriously obsessed! I use 3 pumps 2xs a day! and I’m already planning on a repurchase!
That Cosrx peptide booster ingredients seem really good to me, would definitely love to try that. I have dry skin and also like milk and cream cleansers as my morning cleanser, in fact I am using the Yam room one at the moment! For the pm I usually use gels or foams, so I think I would use that wishtrend one as a pm one instead.
Yeah, I think that’s a better system as well. My skin can handle a more stripping cleanser here and there, but twice a day is too much. The yam root cleanser is such a nice milk cleanser 🤩
Maelove’s Fade Away discoloration serum is green too. And a weird consistency but I love it. It’s really nice. But I might have to try Cocokind’s. It’s cheaper lol
Yeah the consistency is hard to explain! I think I goofed up the application by trying to film two takes of it, but my prior use had actually gone quite well. It’s a product where not a lot is needed ☺️
@@AliceintheRabbitHole it’s funny because I saw that and thought oh no. I can’t use that. It’s so green. And not until watching your video did I realize what I use is green. Lol. Anyway going to get it when Ulta gets it.
Love the CosRX 6 Peptide Booster it’s got some different ones in it I don’t have in my routine and it just sinks in completely into my skin 🤍🤍🤍 you’re gonna LOVE the Numbuzin sunscreen it’s one of my favorites!!!!
I guess I've just been lucky on shipping (either that or my standards for Stylevana and yesstyle are very low!) but I ordered from both and got my order in about 3 weeks? I'm so glad you tried the CoxRx serum, I've been wondering about that one. Btw, one of the items I ordered was the Purito soft touch sunscreen and I really like it, so thanks for the rec!
I do feel like it’s rolling the dice. I had one YesStyle order come in 4 days last month 👀 that is not happening with my upcoming order haha! So glad to hear you’re enjoying that sunscreen 🤩
I totally agree that shipping has been slow lately! anyway, I am super excited to see your longer term thoughts on the COSRX 6 Peptide Skin Booster. I tried to ask COSRX how much copper peptides was in the serum (I'm assuming not much because of the color), but they did not reply 😅
Yeahhh very few companies disclose that! I think the catch is that companies have to pay to use the patented complex names (ie Argireline - you can’t say that name on your product without paying the lab who owns its “blend”, even though you can use the peptide itself). And the use levels of the peptides are SUPER low on their own. Same old story of we get no ingredient transparency though 😢
I ordered the Cosrx peptide skin booster and they disclose the percentage of the peptides on the packaging box. But it is in Korean though (the Korean side of the box). It has 5ppm copper peptide.
I love the Wishtrend Cleanser, it was great for me as a summer cleanser! I find it has a kind of a creamy feel when massaging it on my face ☺️ The packaging is cute but I dropped the bottle on day 2 and the pump snapped in half! I love your initial reviews and I'm looking forward to the rest of the Christmas haul 💜🎁
I don't know if you use body retinols but another Topicals product is their Slather which also has AHAs (lactic and glycolic) and Necessaire's which has mandelic and glycolic. Dr Alexis Stephens did recommend the Topicals Sealed in her short on acne scars.
Alice, I don't use primers, but it's strange that brands are releasing primers with very powerful active ingredients, there are some from Revlon if I remember correctly that contain aha or bha and I think that using those primers every day is not really good for the skin if they use every day. A hug and have a nice day 🥰
Hi Alice, there has been a sale season recently in Asia, so the shipping is affected... 😂 I bought the trial kit of Whoo and cannot wait to try it 😍 My purchased products also arrived at the same time and I received 5 parcels in one day.... 😅
I have pitted scars (Ice pick and boxcar) on my cheeks and even a few on my forehead. Ive been wanting someone’s opinion on the topicals primer. I don’t wear makeup everyday (I would if I could find a concealer that I could use to just spot conceal but still be thin enough to look like skin and be worn on its own) but love the idea of camouflaging my scars. I’m micro needling and using tret (not in the same week of course) which has helped A TON, but they are still there. It sounds like it may not be the best option for me bc I already have a problem with my skin not absorbing products. Most seem to just lay on top of my skin and never actually penetrate. So I experience a lot of pilling as is. ESP with spf’s. I’ve also been on the hunt for a good tinted spf that isn’t orange 🫠 Thank you for your follow up on all of these products! Def want to try the goopy green serum lol
Ooh you might like the tower 28 concealer. I admit I’m using that one under my eyes, so I can’t entirely attest to it as a spot treatment but…oh it’s so nice. It reminds me of a more lightweight (and less stinky) Kosas!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I’ve been watching reviews on the tower 28 butttttt their range leans very warm so I’m a bit worried. I am fair-light with very cool undertones. I loved the idea of kosas, it was the most blendable, skin like concealer of its time (i did notice and dislike the stickiness) but it was so yellow on me. And I have oily skin which seems to mean that any base products oxidize (not sure if that actually impacts it or not, just my assumption based on others opinions on the same products with diff skin types). I have seen that a lot of people really love the tower28. Maybe I’ll go ahead and pull the trigger on getting it and just make sure i stay within my return window. I’m really terrible at returning things but this one may be worth it! TY for the feedback!
@@gabbiemartin3091 This is the season of the concealer. Everyone has them. I would suggest you stay away from a tinted sunscreen if you have problems with getting a nice bond on your skin. You have to really build up a lot to get enough coverage an a tinted sunscreen won’t look natural. I’ve had some great success with BoJ Ginseng serum sunscreen. It acts like a primer. I’ve used Missha’s BB over that without pilling.
I think UPS is on strike another reason packages are taken so long. I waited like 2 weeks for the hourglass pallet then it said it was out for shipping and never came it came the next night at 9:30 pm. My Lisa Eldridge order came in 4 days by the us postal mail , much shorter time.
Hi there !😊 Would love to see how the cosrx 6 peptide skin booster works out. I currently use timeless coenzyme Q10 and matrixyl synthe 6. Wouls be happy to combine them into one product. Have been eyeing the stratia interface but reviews seem to be mixed.
Definitely! I really like interface as well, it’s a little bit lightweight for my dry skin, but it does feel repairing (so I mix in a little oil or use it before slugging!)
Do you have a favorite milky foaming cleanser that isn’t drying? I actually like cetaphil foaming cleanser because it’s not drying and it foams which for some reason I find very satisfying. It is too boring though, I’d like to try a k beauty version with some extra ingredients and fragrance.
Great video ❤❤❤❤ I do have some pitted scars and I have the primer. I will try them out tomorrow, will update you but just fyi I am terrible at makeup. 😅😂
@AliceInTheRabbitHole I tried the Acne primer from Topicals today. It looks good, definitely blurring. I just used it on top of my sunscreen, no makeup as I suck at makeup 😅 but overall nice experience 😊❤
If you like the skin1004, try P.Calm! I think I'm converted with how effortless it is to use. I also use the numbuzin from time to time but it's not moisturizing enough for my dry skin.
That’s what I do with my time down. So glad you uploaded and I need to order some stuff now. Cosrx and faded are two of my favorite brands. Who am I kidding I got a lot of favorite brands. Lol
Can we do another deep dive on peptides like put the bame ifbeach peptide up and what it does. I know copper peptides help with wound healing and they just confuse me so i buy everything that has peptides .
It’s harder to share more info on peptides because…we kind of hit a brick wall in the primary literature part 👀 They need more research, although I admit I’m enjoying them in the meantime!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole Darn because everyone is bringing them up ! And I fear there will be alot of misunderstanding Like and I'm serious one HUGE influencer said you cannot mix retinol with peptides. I laughed my butt off. 🤣
Can you review the new isntree onion spf? They made it in collaboration with cassandra bankson. It looks real interesting! Itd be nice if the primer filled in fine lines and wrinkles lol
@@AliceintheRabbitHole oh that's too bad. I'm not sure if my skin would like it or what really works with it, as it seems to hate everything lol. Thanks for replying!
I have been waiting for ulta to get that cocokind serum in stock! I have some sun spots on my face and been eying it. Also, non-related but if you went on a trip and just took basic skincare, do you have to reimtroduce all your steps back slowly?
Meaning how skin adapts to ingredients? Hmm, good question. My suspicion would be that it would vary from person to person, but I don’t think it would be too hard to go back to actives for most
@@AliceintheRabbitHole more like my serums and toners. On my trip, I just took cleanser, vitamin c, and sunscreen and that's it. So, would I have to reintegrate my serums and toners like they're new products?
It really does lol. I remember watching her do that SO long ago, and it has really, really stuck for me. Because it does work! Hope you have a great week too ☺️💕
Hello i m 35 years old plz plz suggest me is i am using cosrx peptide booster serum is this peptide good for my antiaging skin care routine i m oil to normal skin pl plz suggest
Yep! It’s actually not my favorite. While I can use it, I have to be cautious about using it only to prevent barrier issues rather than repair them. It stings if my skin is in a rough patch! 🤯
@@lindatsai3454 right it’s so strange! Not everyone has this experience, but some of us do (it reminds me of what happened to me/others with the Beekman products - I suspect that may be a good predictor of how it might go for you? If you’ve tried those!)
I have not. Been interested in beekman products but not high on the list of want-to-try. I was also thinking if you ever tried the drmtlgy needless serum. Been interested but always felt like for that price I could get 2 or 3 k beauty serums!! 🤣
I really, really liked their retinol (good mix of retinol - with a disclosed percentage - and peptides!) I don’t use it anymore as I moved onto adapalene, but i did enjoy it!
For me, they’ve had hits and misses. The barrier serum is nice (but I can only use it when my skin is doing well vs as a repairing serum) and I like the peptide cream as well. I didn’t like the texture cream though
Chlorophyll straight smells like dirt , I'm wondering if it smells cause if not their probably isn't much in it. I took a chlorophyll as a liquid supplement and it was rough taste texture and smell , needless to say it was hard to keep up and it did stain your mouth green turned your teeth green made your breath smell like a swamp 🤣
Oh YIKES, I would not have been able to stick with that either lol! Yeah it doesn’t have a strong smell, but I think you’re right that it’s not too much of that ingredient
