So I tried TikTok viral Korean skincare… an honest review 

fr like the stuff that gets popular here is ancient history back in korea

@@ariana8713on the contrary. Some items that get popular here sometimes aren’t popular in South Korea. It’s only until the exposure here that there’s a possibility they’ll be popular in SK. Like BoJ and Cosrx to name a few. But there’s definitely some good products in SK that haven’t received the same amount of exposure in the west. Tho tbh it’s a good thing bc the more they get popular the more they rise in prices

do u have any examples?

@@sarrahkfkfkf7614 search "favorite or top korean skincare" on here and look at videos of korean ytbers. They typically use the brands that are loved in korea vs the ones that have korean names and market to us Westerners. The also go into depth on their skintype and what works for them and what didnt work. Im also pretty sure I saw a tiktok about best sellers from Olive Young which is a korean skincare store with multiple brands.

What are some skincare popular in Korea?🤔

any recommendations for

stratia has a good hydrating cleanser. i double cleanse to get my makeup and sunscreen off and then follow up w “velvet cleansing milk”

If you wear sunscreen everyday, like you should please, please, you need to double cleanse. You can either do an oil, balm or micellar as the first step followed by your choice of cleanser for the second step. 😊

Is the creave hydrating face wash good for dry sensitive?

I use cetaphil gentle cleansing wash

the sunscreen she didnt like is etude house sunprise

Numbuzin sunscreen so good

Esthetician here, I second this! Great recommendations! 😊

Im not in fact Asian but as someone currently living in Vietnam and having tried both Western and Asian skincare brands, may i clarify some confusions here: Firstly, it's important to note that nor all skincare products in the Western market are ineffective. They are formulated to be gentler and cater to diffrent skin conditions as they still provide enough moisturization and essential nutrients to soothe the skin. While it may seem too gentle, they can be highly effective for many individuals for any cases of irritation. If ur curious, u can save up enough money to try some high-end brands like Sulwhasoo or the History of Fu, as they provide a similarly gentle experivence comparable to certain Western brands ( for almost 3 months at least to see noticable changes ) Secondly, it's worth mentioning that not all Korean skincare products work universally well all the time. While brands like Numbuzim, Anua, Skin 1004, Torriden, HA Wellage, Sungboon editor, one day you, d'alba and wonjin masks work well on me and receive positive feedbacks, personal experience can vary. They actively worked really good on the first 2 weeks ( or at least a month ) then i started to experience skin irritations and breakouts after using their toners and sheet masks for very long despite having a normal skin. Even though, i changed my routine and use less of them toner pads for once a week and gave up on sheet mask, my skin got drier and drier and now it is very sensitive. Additionally, some of these products may not have undergone dermatologist testing on all skin conditions, specifically for sensitive skin, and most of them are formulated to work extremely strong and active effect for immediate results, i suggest some people should take an enough amount of time to try them all out before add it into your skin routine. Anua also got involved in some problems after getting exposed to have been hiring a fake dermatologist specialist to promote its product and is silently boycotted in olive young store. Thirdly, it is worth mentioning that certain Korean skincare brands employ similar formulations from Western brands. For example, Aestuta offers product that claim to soothe and repair skin-barrier, much like La Roche-Posay Cicaplast B5. Similarly, products such as goodndoc B5 serum and Nature Republic (especially their make-up remover) can be subject to scrutiny. Furthermore, some Korean sunscreen options, like Dr G, may not provide adequate protection for treated skin due to their weaker filters. Additionally, the finished touch on the skin looks very greasy. Lastly, it is important to acknowledge that even Korean beauty industry offers various skincare products for their people, there is also a preference for Western beauty products among some individuals. For instance, Martiderm was rumoredly banned in Korean because of an ingredient contains micro-plastic, but in fact, their sunscreen products reportedly remains popular among Koreans, despite the availability of options like Round Lab and Cell Fusion. These nuances indicated the importance of recognizing that skincare preferences can vary among individuals. As in ur case. I truly understand when u prefer Korean more. It's ok to not know all of these but humble and respect are needed. Korean skincare products do exist some limitations, specifically they are not tested or formulated for all skim conditions application. It's ok to have freedom of speech, but it's better to tone it down a little bit. Especially, Korean skincare products also perpetuate and promote the idea of colorism and whitening/bleaching. Afterwards, i can still recommend some of the products that i think works fine. Toner and toner pads: numbuzim, anua, skin 1004, d'alba first pray serum, torriden Sunscreen: skin 1004, round lab, cell fusion Sheet masks: wonjin hyaluronic acids: torriden, HA wellage

Skin1004!! So good and affordable. I use their centella moisturizer

Axis Y 🧞

Yes, love and highly recommend Rovectin! Also La Roche Posay (it’s not asian skincare, but it’s good!) I like as well

@@user-ws9oh9xx3ithank you for this comment! ❤

sameeee 😭

Can you be more specific there are several different serums listed Ty

@@tladyleggz I think it’s called the noni ampoule, not sure if that helps.

Thanks

which one did u get?

@@sarrahkfkfkf7614 I got the Isintree green tea fresh toner from Amazon

Please tell us the product!!

which onee!

Is it isntree or innisfree and which variant toner ?

Some of my favorites are the Skin1004 Hyalu-cica sunscreen and their centella ampoule, the Komucha tea essence (it is expensive but worth it, its thick milky and full of humectants and occlusive) The numbuzin no 3 serum (this varies, luckily my skin loves fermented ingredients but i'd say be cautions) and the Aestura face cream is amazing too

The hado labo permium lotion is good too but I've been easing back into it:) if you don't like balm cleansers still, the hado labo oil cleanser is great too!

Is it good for oily skin? My skin is sensitive as well

and sheet mask wise, the beauty of joseon centella mask is amazing ! and brand wise, anua + rovectin + numbuzin are rly good

The sunscreen broke me out! but most sunscreens do it was just too thick for me I have combo sensitive acne prone skin
