I bought the Skin 1004 centella serum for my niece, who has rosacea, and she *loves* it! I know quite a few people who are interested in K Beauty, but don't know where to start. I remember being overwhelmed with choice when I first started too - a K Beauty starter guide might be a good video? I'm sure you've done one before but an updated one? I'm obsessed with the Belif aqua bomb toner in the blue bottle. I layer it at night in-between all my skincare its so so good
I agree! I would like to up my skincare product game and I want the quality of K-beauty but have no idea what brands to trust, why, what product types to try out. 🥺 It's still so much to navigate. But I know James would tell us his sincere observations and help us have directions to work with to find our way or at least where to start. 😊
Totally love this idea of, like a k beauty bible. What's the difference between an essence and an ampoule? Generally what order do products go in, etc. James is always so great at explaining, without seeming condescending.
I love Skin1004 products. The centella ampoule is the Best to use as a step 1. It keeps your face so hydrated. Works better than hyaluronic acid, for me anyway.
The fluffy wristbands (like a scrunchie) for washing your face are amazing! I hated cleansing my skin over the sink because I hate feeling it running down my arms, but I got these wristbands from Yesstyle and they are a life changer! They're so comfy I sometimes forget to take them off afterwards, $4 well spent.
I don't use cleansing oils because they always get into my eyes, and then, I have to deal with that film in my eyes for an hour or more after, as a consequence of trying to remove eye make-up. What I DO use K-Beauty cleansing oils for is shaving. They are excellent for providing glide, protection and soothing during and after shaving with NO fragrance. I haven't found anything superior to them for shaving. And, they last a Long time.
I used to have the same problem but I don't like cleansing balm it breaks me out. Since I am oily I really need to double cleanse, so what I do when using cleansing oil is rinse my eyes thoroughly but gently. A good and legit cleansing oil should have a high rinsability, I never had a problem since I started to rinse it really well around the eyes.
@@sebrinadickerson3341idk for me i just squeeze my eyes shut, massage in the oil on my eyes for a good bit, without opening eyes i immediately wash off. Dry, and then cleanse the rest of my face so i can see lol.
I recently got the Skin 1004 light cleansing oil a few days ago and let me just say this oil is amazing, the scent is therapeutic. It really washes off so easily, and it’s great for massaging away those oil plugs. I had really congested skin and my pores are so clear now in just two days.
I've been struggling with eczema/rashes on my face, and Korean skincare has been really helping my skin feel soothed! The formulations are just so gentle most of the time, my sensitive skin gets along so well with them!
@vickynguyen2129 beauty of joseon has a great line of products that have been helping me. Their cleansing balm especially has been very nourishing rather than stripping. Ingerdients like centella, snail muscin, and propolis have also been really nice for hydrating and repairing my dry and inflamed patches. You wanna look for things that are gonna reduce inflammation, deeply hydrate, and repair the skin barrier.
I've been using the Beauty of Joseon product line (primarily the cleansing balm, toner, serums, and dynasty cream), as well as COSRX's rice sleep mask ♡
I have those on my hands. They are due to stress so there isn't really anything i can do to cure them, but skincare definitely makes it worse, due to the parfum/scents in it... I haven't tried a good korean skincare brand yet, but as much as i know, they also have parfums. I'm glad to know they are working on you, as I'm planning to try out the BoJ
Many apologies James but you saying propolis, cracked me up. Every time you said it and you actually managed to make an extremely sad person laugh ❤👏🇬🇧
I got the belif moisturizer in an ipsy bag way back in 2015, it was the first skincare I'd ever used that wasn't something like clean n clear or Neutrogena and it blew my mind how nice and smooth it was and how my skin just soaked it up instead of feeling greasy.
I love the CosRx Ph balance cleanser. It reminds me of exactly the second cleanser you described. The price point is a bonus. I live in Very COLD AND WINDY Wy. USA. so during winter even with oily skin with hormonal breakouts the CosRx is the only one to keep my face clear and perfectly balanced. I love the K-Beauty. Not to harsh but very effective!
The mixsoon bean essence is by far one of my favorite products of all time. The skincare this past year has really been full of amazing releases. I don’t name holy grails often but some of my absolute favorites include the biore watery sunscreen, iunik centella gel cream, goodal green tangerine vita c serum, and the mixsoon bean essence. I’m super picky about what I buy and very cheap. So if I buy something them I absolutely feel like it’s worth the money! I’ve been able to try more skincare nowadays since I actually got a job now (graduated college). So I’m on a mission to find my forever products ❤
It's so nice! It feels like it actually does something without irritating my super-sensitive eyes. And the little applicator tool is neat. Can't speak to any 'visible lift', though.
I love your ad disclosures. Unlike what a lot of deceptive influencers seem to think, disclosing doesn’t always decrease sales or make you seem cash-grabby. I think I actually am more influenced to buy because you disclosed the ad 😂❤❤ I usually never buy products that influencers “review” anyway. Also because you built such a good trust with us so I feel secure knowing I’m buying the best items. Your picks never miss! 🎉
To whoever is reading this and might struggle rn for whatever reason, please keep going, you're doing fine! No matter how slow your progress, each new week is filled with tiny steps forward. Be proud of yourself you got this! It’s worth hanging in there, it truly is. Stay strong kind strangers!❤
Would you be able to at some point if you feel like it (😅) make a video of what the different steps are, like 1) exfoliate 2) ?? Etc like I don’t know when to use essences or serums or toners. I want to look like the glass skin thing , my skin has rosacea and is quite dry right now and I want to pamper it but trust you the most ☺️ Love all your videos!
Wow I picked up both the cleansing oil and mugwort mask from Jolse during black friday sales and they really are great! I almost got that mixsoon essence too, so I'll grab it next time. 😊
CNP's propolis ampule is amazing!! It helps so much with redness and acne, it makes my face shiny and soft the next day :) It's become a staple in my routine I use it every night and apply it to a semi-dry face, then I gently pat it in and once it's absorbed I finish up with a moisturizer!
So pleased you’re digging out some oldies… K-Beauty is coming up with new products so rapidly it’s very hard not to feel overwhelmed. I’m back on old favourites because I don’t want to spend money on things that aren’t as effective.
I bought that Tocobo Lip Mask as you had talked about it in another video and I LOVE IT! My lips are not dry in the morning! Thank you for the recommendation!!!!!!!!
The eye cream you mentioned was in the Style Korean box/Christmas calendar thing and i love it. Before this one I used the entire product package of the glow recipe one and then biossaince (which was my first and favorite eye cream during college) and honestly I am not even thinking about ever repurchasing the other 2 after this one. Every morning it saves me from looking like I just woke up and had 5 hours of sleep lol I don’t wear makeup daily but didn’t have any rolling with this product specifically, which is my biggest pet peeve. I do think it plumps the eye area and “lifts” I don’t need that either I’m 25 but overall it has helped my dark circles and plumped it up from looking sunken in.
Yes the product is amazing but I had some problems with packaging I think it's quite inconvenient because the texture of cleanser is very thick and it's difficult to push out from tube
@@SOYMANNÈ I know a lot about skincare, so I'm good,i just love getting new things to try. I always do a lot of research and get excited by different formulations
Wanted to let you know that I purchased the Tocobo lip mask on your rec, and I LOVE it! I've never had a lip goop feel so good when applied and last so long. Thanks for the rec
I'd love to see you review Allies of skin. My dad is now trying their new anti aging serum and he had me try it and I'm super impressed. Its def high end tho. I think they have a more affordable sister brand. But Idk how available it is for UK
I was using micellar water as the first step of my double cleanse for a hot minute because every balm I tried would always make me feel ick when it would get in my eyes, but I got the Anua Heartleaf cleansing oil and I LOVE it. It reminds me of the Dermallogica one in terms of how silky it feels and how good it smells but once you add water it emulsifies beautifully and doesn’t really leave residue behind like most cleansing oils. Honestly I’ve been loving Anua in general lately, I use their Heartleaf toner layered with the Skin1004 Poremizing toner and the Anua Heartleaf Soothing Ampoule. It’s done amazing things for my rosacea and sensitive but combo acne prone skin.
With the Heimish eye cream, I don’t necessarily notice any lifting happening, but it’s the only eye cream I’ve used that actually helped with the “chicken skin” texture I had. I saw someone complain about the price but it has lasted me a lot longer than I thought it would. (I bought it after watching a video James posted over a year ago)
Thanks for posting your results re: chicken skin under-eye texture! I have the same and never thought something might resolve this. Gonna give it a shot. 🤞Grateful for your comment! 🪷
@@_Ag- you are welcome! Another really good one is the Tonymoly green tea watery eye cream, it’s $24 I believe. Just in case Amazon is sold out of the Heimish one.
I started using that same centella oil like 6 months ago, what a coincidence! I do still really love the Inky List Oat Cleansing Balm as well but I feel like the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil kinda last longer (in terms of how long it takes to go through the bottle) and is just kinda easier to use.
Thank you for talking about alcohol as a carrier ingredient. I believed another well known skin content creator hat would talk about alcohol being in the first five ingredients as a drying alcohol. Then I found Lab Muffin, and as a beauty chemist explaining there’s various alcohols that do different things besides being labeled as a drying ingredient.
I am using the cleansing oil and cleanser you mentioned right now, and I am loving them both! I totally agree that a little bit of the Round Lab cleanser goes a long way 😂
I love this recommendations list , and that it contains some of my holy grail never fail products. I’ve been using the belief moisturizer as my go to for almost a decade haha
I recently swapped to a k-beauty cleansing oil because I felt like my Then I Met You balm didn't last as long as I wished it did, which made it expensive to repurchase. It was between the Mixsoon bean one and the Skin1004 one (I already love their sunscreen and pro-bio cica moisturiser they're amazing!). I chose the Mixsoon one in the end but I feel like I really need to try this Skin1004 cleanser. My skin just seems to love their products a lot from what I've tried so far.
I love the 1004 Centella Asiatica serum, it’s really good. I’ll have to try the cleansing oil. I started using a cleansing oil years ago (Shu Uemura) and loved it because it rinses so cleanly. However, it smells very much of chemicals. It may just be the smell of the ingredients, and I wouldn’t want it to have added fragrance, but it’s something like light diesel. I switched to cleansing balms which I really do like but they’re harder to rinse off. Thanks for the suggestions!
I'm so pleased that I finally have 2 of the things that you are talking about! The lip mask, love it and also the bean oil (?). Haven't used it yet, but I will tonight. 💜🥳💜
Hi James. I am using Heimish Marine Cream. I have combo skin with oily T zone, but my under eye area is dry. I noticed, that it gets absorbed fast, but it doesn't do much for hydrating my eye area. It actually makes it dry if I use it along with BOJ Ginseng/Retinal serum. May be it's not a good idea to mix them. I found, that Innisfree Green Tea eye cream makes my under eye more plump and hold hydration long.
As soon as i saw you'd dropped a k beauty video - i stopped rewatching Elementary and clicked 😆 Popped a lot of your recommendations in my wishlist for when my other products run out. I have a small request - started using the Pyongyang Yul ATO cream blue label, and it's become my HG. I have oily skin and live in a hot wirh high humidity environment, so my routine has been very much trial and error. A little goes a long way, and so nourishing but simple with it's ingredients. Their toner is lovely - not aggravating but no WOW factor either. I haven't seen much on the Pyongyang Yul brand, and would be very interested on your opinion 😊
man.. i thought you're gonna review the dokdo toner too, since from what i heard, the dokdo line is the brand's bestseller. best part is that the toner has a big size version that can last you many months!
Hi! Love half of the products that you reviewed already! Thank you for your recommendation! By the way, have you tried any products from Bliv:U? Maybe I simply missed you talking about them, but I'd like to know your opinion on their masks and toner pads. Have a great day! ❤
Hey James, can you cover Reedle shots? I have been hearing about this product lately, and I have questions. Does it the product really work? Where can I find the true product online to ship to the US. I hope you're having a wonderful day! Thank you for all you do on here. I appreciate you! 😊
James!! Have you tried the 2 brand new Belief formulations? There is one that's a gel with niacinamide and hyaluronic acid and a cream with peptides and ceramides. I know you are using the older gel version in your video I believe. Or am I incorrect and you ARE using the new gel version?!
Love this video James! Do you think the centella cleansing oil would be good even though I wear a lot of makeup? I also hate heavy oils but sometimes that’s the only thing that takes off my makeup, would be interested in trying this !
If you wear a lot of make up, you should try double cleansing (DC). Start with a cleansing balm or an oil based cleanser following with some type of foamy cleanser.
Definitely 👍🏼 double cleanse as djlelenablv said with the skin1004 cleansing oil, then the round lab foam cleanser for the 2nd cleanse. I popped both of these on my wishlist after the video 😄 Been on the hunt for a cleansing oil that removes my spf but not too heavy, and I hope this one is my HG 😫
I found the Round Lab cleanser made my skin feel really dry and tight which was a shame because I love the texture of it. The moisturising sunscreen is a bit hit and miss on my skin as well, sometimes does the same thing where it makes my skin feel really tight and it then becomes greasy to try and re-hydrate itself. I have dry-combination acne prone skin so have to use a lot of actives so I really try hard to find hydrating or skin barrier repairing products. I loved the texture and feel of the mixsoon bean essence but I think it made my other skincare pill? Maybe I rubbed it in too much so it became the exfoliating phase rather than the essence phase but I’m not sure. I’d like to give it another go though.
I'm so glad I follow you. While we may not have the same skin problems, we both have overly sensitive skin. This means I can trust your recommendations more than other people's; you're less likely to recommended something that irritates my skin.
What with you going back to some of your old favourites I really thought I was going to see the I'm From Rice Toner!! Its still my go to toner after you suggested it years ago! I can see K-beauty trending again as have had a few work colleagues asking for recommendations as they know I love it. Just started using the Skin 1004 centella ampoule and sun serum can see why there they are so popular!

I love the 1004 Centella Asiatica serum, it’s really good. I’ll have to try the cleansing oil. I started using a cleansing oil years ago (Shu Uemura) and loved it because it rinses so cleanly. However, it smells very much of chemicals. It may just be the smell of the ingredients, and I wouldn’t want it to have added fragrance, but it’s something like light diesel. I switched to cleansing balms which I really do like but they’re harder to rinse off. Thanks for the suggestions!
I'm so pleased that I finally have 2 of the things that you are talking about! The lip mask, love it and also the bean oil (?). Haven't used it yet, but I will tonight. 💜🥳💜
Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi James. I am using Heimish Marine Cream. I have combo skin with oily T zone, but my under eye area is dry. I noticed, that it gets absorbed fast, but it doesn't do much for hydrating my eye area. It actually makes it dry if I use it along with BOJ Ginseng/Retinal serum. May be it's not a good idea to mix them. I found, that Innisfree Green Tea eye cream makes my under eye more plump and hold hydration long.
As soon as i saw you'd dropped a k beauty video - i stopped rewatching Elementary and clicked 😆
Popped a lot of your recommendations in my wishlist for when my other products run out.
I have a small request - started using the Pyongyang Yul ATO cream blue label, and it's become my HG. I have oily skin and live in a hot wirh high humidity environment, so my routine has been very much trial and error. A little goes a long way, and so nourishing but simple with it's ingredients.
Their toner is lovely - not aggravating but no WOW factor either.
I haven't seen much on the Pyongyang Yul brand, and would be very interested on your opinion 😊
There are so many centella products these days and they seem good but i might be allergic🥲im scared of trying out another one
man.. i thought you're gonna review the dokdo toner too, since from what i heard, the dokdo line is the brand's bestseller. best part is that the toner has a big size version that can last you many months!
Now I need to try everything I'm not already using!
Hi! Love half of the products that you reviewed already! Thank you for your recommendation! By the way, have you tried any products from Bliv:U? Maybe I simply missed you talking about them, but I'd like to know your opinion on their masks and toner pads. Have a great day! ❤
I'll be trying them soon!
Hello. Good Afternoon James 💜 Happy Wednesday 💜💜
Hey James, can you cover Reedle shots? I have been hearing about this product lately, and I have questions. Does it the product really work? Where can I find the true product online to ship to the US. I hope you're having a wonderful day! Thank you for all you do on here. I appreciate you! 😊
Can you do videos on the VT Reedle Shot?
Love the suggestions
Can you review VT reedle 100?
James!! Have you tried the 2 brand new Belief formulations? There is one that's a gel with niacinamide and hyaluronic acid and a cream with peptides and ceramides.
I know you are using the older gel version in your video I believe. Or am I incorrect and you ARE using the new gel version?!
Love this video James!
Do you think the centella cleansing oil would be good even though I wear a lot of makeup? I also hate heavy oils but sometimes that’s the only thing that takes off my makeup, would be interested in trying this !
If you wear a lot of make up, you should try double cleansing (DC). Start with a cleansing balm or an oil based cleanser following with some type of foamy cleanser.
Definitely 👍🏼 double cleanse as djlelenablv said with the skin1004 cleansing oil, then the round lab foam cleanser for the 2nd cleanse.
I popped both of these on my wishlist after the video 😄
Been on the hunt for a cleansing oil that removes my spf but not too heavy, and I hope this one is my HG 😫
You need to get yourself wash wristbands so no oil drips down your hands 🙌🏻 xx
Hola 💚
I stopped with belif products when they started selling their products in Avon.
I found the Round Lab cleanser made my skin feel really dry and tight which was a shame because I love the texture of it. The moisturising sunscreen is a bit hit and miss on my skin as well, sometimes does the same thing where it makes my skin feel really tight and it then becomes greasy to try and re-hydrate itself. I have dry-combination acne prone skin so have to use a lot of actives so I really try hard to find hydrating or skin barrier repairing products. I loved the texture and feel of the mixsoon bean essence but I think it made my other skincare pill? Maybe I rubbed it in too much so it became the exfoliating phase rather than the essence phase but I’m not sure. I’d like to give it another go though.
Belif cream has alcohol denat at the top of the ingredients list 😐 Not ideal for sensitive skin

You need to lay off your actives. Your face skin tone is getting too light for your neck.
Clicked open to watch so fast when I saw k-beauty 🥹
That toboco lip mask is my HG!! Never had anything instantly glide over my lips, and I can FEEL it healing my lips 🥹
is it plumping?|
@@FatimahAkhtar-yk5hoit’s hydrating so it feels plumping, but it’s not actually a lip plumper, more like a lip mask or a thick moisturiser
I’m using the Mixsoon Bean for 2 weeks now and my skin love it so much. Brightening and helps hyperpigmentation. ❤
I'm so glad I follow you. While we may not have the same skin problems, we both have overly sensitive skin. This means I can trust your recommendations more than other people's; you're less likely to recommended something that irritates my skin.
Shut out to James for telling us the names of the ingredients even though they are really hard to read😂🎉
Literally typed in “Best Korean Skincare of 2024” and - low and behold - JAMES ALWAYS DELIVERS. Why didn’t I just check here first?!
I LOVE the skin 1004 cleansing oil! I've tried many but always go back to it. It really is the best IMO
Yepoda is a pretty awesome brand too. If you can get your hands on it, please check it out
What with you going back to some of your old favourites I really thought I was going to see the I'm From Rice Toner!! Its still my go to toner after you suggested it years ago! I can see K-beauty trending again as have had a few work colleagues asking for recommendations as they know I love it. Just started using the Skin 1004 centella ampoule and sun serum can see why there they are so popular!
I didn't know propolis went away lol, Iv stayed using it.
