If any product ever needed refillable packaging, it's a battery powered one! I hope/wish they would start selling refill tubes. I'd struggle using a product that requires me to throw a battery away/use up so quickly. I already feel guilty about regular skincare packaging, I've been hoarding mine for terracycle. A really good topic to discuss, thanks for bringing it up, Alice!
Are you going to review the Mad About Skin Collection? I honestly think it's one of the smartest and wonderful collection of products out there. I love it. And it's by our friend Rob! :) xo
That Manyo Ampoule is truly my product of the year. Like you, I used it for around two months thinking it did nothing. At some point, it must have gotten pushed to the back of my skincare box. After a week or so, I noticed I was getting some small breakouts, which aren't unusual for my skin but had become infrequent over the last couple of weeks when I'd used the ampoule. I reintroduced it and my skin sorted itself out, but now it seems like I'm less prone to breakouts when I use it regularly. Plus, it's just such a nicely formulated serum. So glad I didn't give up on it. But anyway, if you see this, thank you for introducing me to it! It's so unassuming, I don't think I would have found it on my own.
I absolutely love the I'm From honey mask. in fact, I should've used it tonight because my skin has been so sensitized lately and that is so epically soothing.
I have the Cosrx Peptide booster - I have it and I am using it, but it feels like forever to get through this. I have the TirTir, but haven't used it yet - I interrupted using some of my other kbeauty skincare when I discovered the world of Chogongjin - so many beautiful products in that line. Chogongjin is the eye cream I am using now - I love it, and again love the smell. Oh yes - my skin does know the difference with the Medipeel Neck Cream - I can't believe how much I love it and my neck loves it - I have adapted to the texture. ❤❤❤I haven't been using many of my masks lately - but I do have on order the Chogongjin Youngan Jin Overnight Cream (it's a 21 day delivery). Love it - thank you and look forward to your next video! 🌸💮🌸
I am always inspired by your choices and this year I have a lovely list of new options to try in 2025. Thank you so much for continuing to post through a rough year.
im absolutely loving the haruharu probiotic (despite being prebiotic) essence! i was initially worried about it clogging my pores or causing acne/breakouts, but your recommendation got me to purchase it. great to know that your recommendations work with my skin since we have the same skin type 😂 thank you!
Sulwhasoo sleeping mask is my most loved night cream for many many years. And by the way cosrx honey mask is my favorite product too but as a day calming cream. I always have it in my arsenal.
I love sulwhasoo products, but they are expensive. Surprisingly the sleeping mask is one of their more affordable products. I’ve been finding cheaper dupes with ginseng as a main ingredient, but when I find it on sale I’ll be trying the sulwhasoo sleep mask
I've been loving the Manyo serum (which I bought because of you) and now understand why you love it too, no matter the skin condition it helps in the healing and soothing. I'm going to buy the Chogongjin cream, eye cream and emulsion from the Youngan Jin line as well ( my 44 years old skin needs good ginseng) and I wanna try the BOJ wash off mask as well. You are a gem Alice!
Love this video, thank you! And I agree with some other posters, if you're taking requests I would love to see more brands/products for dry/sensitive/mature skin. There are a few K-Beauty lines that I adore (Sulwhasoo, History of Whoo, Missha, etc.) and I think it's absolutely #1 for sunscreen, hands down. But overall it seems like Korean skincare caters more to normal/combo skin, which is why I have to be so picky. And there are still so many good Western brands!
You’re amazing Alice! Been obsessed with your videos. Can you please do an updated best mature skin k beauty & non k beauty products (specifically for those who already use prescription or non prescription retinoids) meaning no retinol products? 🙏🏼 I’m looking for the very best products for my mom. She’s in her 70s has dry crepey hands, over washes her hands, had hyper pigmentation in her hands & face, also has fine lines & wrinkles around her eyes & nasolabial folds with some drooping in her cheeks etc. She has used chogonchin moisturizer & eye cream which was great but I wanted her to have other products in her arsenal? Your time, effort, & expertise in these videos are amazing. I basically need to make a list of the top products to restock for her on sale as Black Friday & cyber Monday is around the corner.
@@AliceintheRabbitHoleawesome, thank you so much Alice! Looking forward to it 🙌🏼 Btw, is there anyway i can email you pics of my moms face & skin concerns so you can share your top recommended products for her?!? 🙏🏼 I just know the big holiday sales are around the corner & I want to get the heavy hitters for her to construct the ultimate routine for optimum skin health, youthfulness, & glow at a bargain price. Also have you tried or heard of the following k beauty skincare brands & would they be suitable for someone like my mom: - history of whoo - doginbi ginseng - Benton snail bee content essence - mizon on snail ampoule - mizon snail sleeping pack - Dr.Ceuracle Kombucha Tea Essence - sooreyhan ginseng …& if so, how do these measure up to what you’ve used so far? Your thoughts & analysis are much appreciated
You’re wearing Mucha! Love it! My favorite essence is the Dr. Ceuracle. It’s as if my skin breathes a sigh of relief whenever I put it on. I agree with you on many of the others, though.
Love the eye cream ans moisturizer from that Chogongin line. I'm looking for maybe one of their emulsions for daytime wear. Can't wait to try the Haru Haru Wonder .
Yay got here early. Just back from my daughters dance show. Man what a week, let me chill with Alice talking about skin care with a cuppa. And..... Relax 😂❤
I love that so many of your favorites are also my favorites, even though my skin type is completely different from yours! My aging combo oily severely dehydrated skin loves your picks for cleanser, moisturizer, serum (I love the Manyo Bifida Serum beyond measure), and eyecare. Some of my other favorites were runners up...the Cosrx Peptide Booster (my very favorite toner is the Numbuzin No. 1), the BoJ honey mask (the I'm From Honey mask is my HG.) You've also given me some things to look out for in the coming year...the Sulwhasoo Overnight mask, the Axis-Y Toner, HaruHaru Essence, and the Parnell serum. Thank you for being such a great reviewer for all skin types!
I rediscovered the Cosrx Hydrium Moisture Power Enriched Cream this year. I use it as an emulsion, under my thicker moisturizer and sleeping pack. It has done wonders for both my dehydration and dryness. It is truly my holy grail! I'll never go without it again.
This is a great video ! Love it ! I am in love with the Medipeel neck cream . I am using it on both my neck & face .There seem to be a visible improvement on the tightening of my skin . I have got dry & aging skin . 🥰
23:04 Thank you so much for saying this because I am one of those who thought that a sleep mask replaces the night moisturizer once or a few times a week. Now I know the correct way to use it 🙏
And here I am using it as a night moisturizer. But it works so great for me😂 one of my most bought product, iunik sleeping mask. Always have a extra one.
Thanks for the bonus video! I love that "mom" Chogongjin cream (your link goes to the cleanser btw) but I do wish they didn't use so much fragrance. Also the Purito sunscreen and Anua toner are definitely 2024 faves. Just got my Sulwhasoo overnight mask so I'm excited to try it, too. If only I had more than one face,. there are so many great products to try! 🤣
Hello Alice, just wanna say I'm super glad that I discovered your channel, as my skin type is combination oily and many of your favorites have been working really great for me. Sometimes oily/dry/combination is too broad of a term to describe somebody's skin!
@AliceintheRabbitHole Totally, I would rather apply a rich milky toner/emulsion or even a night oil, than lather on a gel cream that does not sink into my skin but somehow isn't moisturizing enough.
@xylemnguyen223 i also have combo oily skin (and dehydrated) and many of Alice's recommendations have become HG for me... she's so thorough with describing the details, texture, and ingredients that I've been able to find the things that work well for me even though my skin type is different.
First of all, let me just mention how much I loved your make up and entire look in this video, it was like a human ray of sunshine, Oh, and I absolutely ADORE that Annua heartleaf toner. It's a treat every time I use it. I do also really love the CosRX six peptide booster. I have several of the Isntree green tea products but I've never tried the cleanser. Right now I had to cycle out of the toner because it was just a little too strong for this time of year for my older skin.
I've had the same thoughts about the vibrating products like that eye cream. I wish they would make that in refillable packaging. I did so good on this one - I guessed right on all your picks except the wash off masks. I like your consistency on favorites - I wish you were the one getting Hermes and fancy vacations instead of someone who has a new "holy grail" product twice a week in their unlabeled sponsored videos. Thank you for being such an honest creator - I don't think I'm the only one who has you to thank for a huge improvement in my skin. I really, truly appreciate you and the work you do for us.
Refillable packaging would make so much sense for that kind of product. And people would absolutely come back for refills!!! I have no idea why they haven’t figured out to do it this way 🤷♀️ Thank you for the kind words 😊
Although none of these are my faves, I loved a few like the the Anua toner, Purito sunscreen and Haru Haru Toner. I didn't really like the BoJ honey mask due to the smell which I really disliked, but it was a decent mask otherwise. I much prefer their red bean one though. My faves were by far the numbuzin no. 5+ line (toner, toning pads, serum and sheet masks), round lab cleansing milk, Haru Haru Peptide cream and Aestura cica cream, round lab cleansing oil, mary and may blackberry sheet mask set, and for sunscreens so hard to pick.... I did like the Manyo sunscreen, haru haru mineral, and also the dear klairs mineral sunscreen
Thanks so much for sharing! How long is the haruharu peptide cream lasting you? I need a refill already lol (can’t determine if I went through it too fast or loved it while I had it!)
@@AliceintheRabbitHole It is really small, I use it just in the mornings so usually it lasts a couple of weeks, like 2-3 months. Much less than other creams for sure. At least it has a refill option
I'm looking forward to the mature skin care products as well. I'm really looking for a good serum. I love the texture of Sulwashoo serum, but I can't swing it.
Alice, we have exactly same skin type and that's why I follow your products recommendations in the first place. Funny things is most of your favourite products broke me out ex : manyo bifida, all mary&may line, tirtir toner, cosdebaha azelaic acid. But I keep coming back to your videos because I learn so much from you, what ingredients I should avoid and which one should I add. I don't regret spending money on those products I can't use because you'll never know if you'll never try, right 😊
I’m your skin twin & Soft Touch is sadly the only k beauty sunscreen I can use outside of the 100% mineral white cast category so I’m thrilled to reorder it in bulk! Purito really redeemed themselves I gotta say & I’m not the forgiving type 🤣
So much fun, loved the format. I picked most of these, but not the Chogongin cos of the smell... You did warn me- and you were right. I simply cannot. I noticed the throat cream lists perfume, could you let me know if you think the smell would be too strong for someone sensitive to perfume? PS my fave Korean sunscreen will always have that price component😂 they are all So Good.
I would say no buuut it’s definitely worth considering that a neck cream doesn’t get as close to your nose. I did find some of medipeel’s products more scented than others!
I haven't experienced it yet, but AXIS-Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Toner looks like a solid dupe for Allies Of Skin Molecular Savior Probiotics Treatment Mist. Possibly better, definitely less expensive. Ordering it now.
omgoodness - a Best of 2024 already - hmmm ... I guess I can't fight it anymore. From the thumbnail - loving the choices for you! My favorite cleanser is the Yam Root cleanser - so gentle and lovely. I agree 100% with your moisturizer pick - Chogongjin has been very good for my skin (I love the smell of this) and I personally think that the price doesn't reflect the quality of this product - I would expect it to cost more. I love the Isntree Sun Stick - so handy to throw in your bag for easy application all day. 🥰
I just finished a bottle of the Cos de Baha Azelaic Acid serum and I started having more acne than usual ever since I've stopped using it. It really does make a difference.
Alice, it'd be very helpful if you add the products' names on the same screenshots of the ingredients list. Sometimes I need to go back and forth to try and "read" the packaging you are showing, it'd really help if you add it to the videos. Thank you for this great video!
Hi Alice, i hope you had a good christmas with your loved ones! I was making a Stylevana order and i noticed that there's also a Bifida Biome Concentrated serum, besides the "regular" one that we all love. Have you ever tried it? And if so, did you like more the concetrated or the regular one? I don't know if it's a new product, 'cause i didn't find almost any reviews on it.Thank you in advance, you're always so kind and sweet with your answers. Love from Italy xx
Loving this review Alice. Do you do any microneedling to get better penetration of these products? If so, could you do a tutorial or recommend a good medical micro-needling device. Thank you so much! 💛🌻
We have the same skin type Alice. i love manyo bifida serum, i agree with you, you will not see instant result with this but after i finished lots of bottles of it i see huge difference on my skin. i couldnt tolerate vitamin c but manyo bifida and retinal creams, and aha do work for me. i hope you'll do review on your favorite korean retinols or retinal
Thank you for reminding me, Parmell Cicamamu is now on its way to me along with high hopes! I don’t know if I have emotional bias to honey or my sweet face is pleading, but I will find my honey 🍯
Still thinking about 🍯.. any interest in an ‘Every honey product I’ve tried… Ranked’? You have dry sensitive acne-prone skin and I have oily dehydrated sensitivity-of-a-rhino skin, but for serums and actives we do have a lot of favorites overlap! I think I’ve only tried 6 or 7, no HG yet although I enjoy everything in the CosRx Propolis mini set.. still trying.
Maybe. You know, it’s an ingredient I absolutely love, but I guess 2024 hasn’t been the year of honey (good, even honey figured out to lay low - smart). It really is a superstar in skincare though!
This all seems in order. Speaking of devices in skincare products, Dr Dray was testing a couple products from Meditherapy. The vita real toning laser cream comes with a LED device as part of the lid. The shumage gold seal lifting cream comes with an EM device built into the lid. Gimmicky and yes, how exactly are you supposed to recycle or dispose of the device parts?
I have been eyeing those and thinking the same thing! It’s a fascinating idea but I just don’t understand why we are adding to the electronic waste problem, especially so quickly 😔
I really enjoy that Laneige sleeping mask! The last time looked it was in stock at some of the KBeauty retailers but it would have been more than Sephora once shipping was added. My two favorites from this year are the House of Dohwa Rice Makgeolli Moisturizer and the VT PDRN Essence. Rice & Ginseng make my skin so happy!
I'm so impressed you could pick just 1 per category! Aside from different skin types and weather, so much is situational. Is it a morning quick cleanse or am I trying to take off sunscreen and/or makeup? For spf am I in the office, at the beach, working in the yard? Love that you included contenders in each category!
O girl i had ulta shipping issues they suck ordered some stuff for xmas for my son's girlfriend and that was 2 weeks ago and they never shipped it , says UPS awaiting item for 14 days now , i email them and get a message back saying we have received ur package for refund refund issued ?? Never got the package to ship to them and then the refund never came through so i was screwed out of the sale the xtra amount off and everything. Im so annoyed with ulta.
I always message them on messenger and I get a response within a few minutes. From what I understand if you don’t receive your package by the 10th day they will either send out a new one or refund you. This happened with me with Ulta and it was OnTrac. It kept saying waiting for package and they ended up shipping a new order. I don’t waste my time with emails with Ulta. Always use messenger or call.
Just picked up stuff from niod. I was waiting for a video from you because of the sale. I also have discovered niche beauty and transparent lab. Would love to hear your thoughts if you ever use their products 😊 😉 😊
Great video!...I have a question. I want to Finally get the SK II toner, and then there is also the Biologique Recherche Lotion P50. I know it is slightly exfoliating. Would you classify these as both toners? and I should use one but not both? I know they are both excellent products what do you think? I have dry skin, but sturdy.
Hi Alice. Your recommendations for the skincare products are basically what I have been using.. 😂 I will tryout Parnell serum for when my skin is compromised, after I use my Farmstay propolis serum.. 😊
Hey Alice! Really find your recs useful, similar skin type here, acne/sensitive prone to dryness due to acne treatments. My fave one step cleanser is BOJ radiance balm. Have you tried it? I love how effective yet gentle is and lasts forever. Like their spf too! For spf I also love the Japanese product mermaid spf by Canmake!
I haven’t tried every product on this list but I love the eye serum and have the vibrating one queued up next. Isntree Onion Moisturizer is my new Summer favorite, but the “mom” cream is on my wishlist. Being combo, I’m stuck on the man:yo mist instead of the serum. I need to reup on the Ginseng mask for winter.
Hi Alice, I really liked how you made the selection of products, the only thing I have tried from your favorites is the sunscreen and I suspect that the one I ordered was fake.... Hahahaha, because I ordered it on Shopee at a very dubious price. But the Haru Haru Wonder essence is on the way and just by looking at its texture I think it must be exquisite. My preferences would have been the Thank you farmer rice tonic, the Cosrx 13% viramin C, the K-Secret encapsulated Retinal, the Barrieder milky serum from Skin&Lab and I still haven't decided on a sunscreen, because I have many mini sizes that I'm testing. I love seeing your favorites of the year (I've been dying to try the Ma:nyo one since you did the test). I was wondering if you'd be interested in making a video of Asian makeup favorites, I'd really like to see it. A big hug Alice and I hope that next year is more prosperous for you. A giant hug 🥰
I might just do that! I have another c-beauty video coming up (I think c-beauty is more my speed as I love rich pigments haha). They have so many lovely options 😍
As always, amazing video. My favs are: - Cleanser: Uriage Xémose Cleansing Soothing Oil (it's not an oil cleanser, but a gel) - Moisturizer: Axis-Y Dark Spot Glow Cream - Sunscreen: BOJ Aqua Fresh sunscreen (I love this one a lot) - Toner: I'm From Rice Toner - Serum: Ma:nyo Bifida Biome Complex Ampoule (I fell in love with this thanks to you) - Treatments: Timeless Vitamin C + Generic Tretinoin 0,5% - Eye Care: BOJ Ginseng + Retinal (this is just the best haha) I also use Azelaic Acid and a weekly peeling.
I've thought about trying the haruharu wonder essence but I've not had great luck with fermented ingredients recently, the whole pro-bio cica line was a bust for me. Have you heard of anyone not being able to tolerate ferments? It seems weird since their whole thing is healing the akin barrier
A "like" before I watch
just because it's Alice 😊❤
🥰🥰
Every 👏time👏🤣❤️❤️
yes, I totally agree
YESSSS 🙌🏼
Right?!!! Same.
If any product ever needed refillable packaging, it's a battery powered one! I hope/wish they would start selling refill tubes. I'd struggle using a product that requires me to throw a battery away/use up so quickly. I already feel guilty about regular skincare packaging, I've been hoarding mine for terracycle. A really good topic to discuss, thanks for bringing it up, Alice!
Last bonus video for now (really wanted to get this up before BFCM this year, phew!)
Happy Wednesday! 🥰

I'll have to try the HaruHaru essence in 2025!!
I felt the same but the smell was not for me
@ what does it smell like?
I absolutely love the I'm From honey mask. in fact, I should've used it tonight because my skin has been so sensitized lately and that is so epically soothing.
It’s so good for sensitized skin!
I think I’ll try that Puriti sunscreen when I run out! Also the the new centella one too!

@@lindseystein9676which dupes?
I also think that isntree is the best Korean brand among affordable ones. Amazing formulas. Yam toner is my most loved toner of all times
I’m still salty that isntree discontinued mugwart toner pad.. it was SO good
"One product to rule them all, and then the darkness moisturize them" had me laugh out loud. Well done, Alice, well done 😎👏
Oh no don’t encourage my geeky side hahaha
@@tomassusedik8154 my favorite part of the whole video. Laughed so much I had to pause to keep from missing anything.

Also the Purito sunscreen and Anua toner are definitely 2024 faves. Just got my Sulwhasoo overnight mask so I'm excited to try it, too. If only I had more than one face,. there are so many great products to try! 🤣
That is always how I feel haha! Ty for the heads up 😊
Hello Alice, just wanna say I'm super glad that I discovered your channel, as my skin type is combination oily and many of your favorites have been working really great for me. Sometimes oily/dry/combination is too broad of a term to describe somebody's skin!
It really is. And preference is a big part too - my own partner has dry skin but hates the feel of moisturizer!
@AliceintheRabbitHole Totally, I would rather apply a rich milky toner/emulsion or even a night oil, than lather on a gel cream that does not sink into my skin but somehow isn't moisturizing enough.
@xylemnguyen223 i also have combo oily skin (and dehydrated) and many of Alice's recommendations have become HG for me... she's so thorough with describing the details, texture, and ingredients that I've been able to find the things that work well for me even though my skin type is different.
@@brittantannerhenley Definitely, with aging and stress, our skin could be all over the place, just so nice to have some rescue products nearby.
First of all, let me just mention how much I loved your make up and entire look in this video, it was like a human ray of sunshine, Oh, and I absolutely ADORE that Annua heartleaf toner. It's a treat every time I use it. I do also really love the CosRX six peptide booster. I have several of the Isntree green tea products but I've never tried the cleanser. Right now I had to cycle out of the toner because it was just a little too strong for this time of year for my older skin.
Thank you so much!!
I've had the same thoughts about the vibrating products like that eye cream. I wish they would make that in refillable packaging.
I did so good on this one - I guessed right on all your picks except the wash off masks. I like your consistency on favorites - I wish you were the one getting Hermes and fancy vacations instead of someone who has a new "holy grail" product twice a week in their unlabeled sponsored videos. Thank you for being such an honest creator - I don't think I'm the only one who has you to thank for a huge improvement in my skin. I really, truly appreciate you and the work you do for us.
Refillable packaging would make so much sense for that kind of product. And people would absolutely come back for refills!!! I have no idea why they haven’t figured out to do it this way 🤷♀️
Thank you for the kind words 😊
I’m sure the VT eye cream has a refill… I just checked Yes Style and it’s there…
I also love that Sulwhasoo Overnight vitalizing mask, I think the mini is affordable because it's actually not meant for sale
So excited! Thank you for executing a flawless Robin thick 🔥
I ❤ Chigongin. Hope I got that right. Also Mary and May moisturiser. VT reedle. Quite a few things I like. Their PDRN. A few to name. ❤
Although none of these are my faves, I loved a few like the the Anua toner, Purito sunscreen and Haru Haru Toner. I didn't really like the BoJ honey mask due to the smell which I really disliked, but it was a decent mask otherwise. I much prefer their red bean one though. My faves were by far the numbuzin no. 5+ line (toner, toning pads, serum and sheet masks), round lab cleansing milk, Haru Haru Peptide cream and Aestura cica cream, round lab cleansing oil, mary and may blackberry sheet mask set, and for sunscreens so hard to pick.... I did like the Manyo sunscreen, haru haru mineral, and also the dear klairs mineral sunscreen
Thanks so much for sharing! How long is the haruharu peptide cream lasting you? I need a refill already lol (can’t determine if I went through it too fast or loved it while I had it!)
@@AliceintheRabbitHole It is really small, I use it just in the mornings so usually it lasts a couple of weeks, like 2-3 months. Much less than other creams for sure. At least it has a refill option
I want a best mature skin skincare products because I'm old!😅😅😅😅 I started using your manyo bifida ampoule and I love it, don't know why though😅😅😅😊
Haha, you’ll have to take note of if your skin feels stronger/less dry!
I'm looking forward to the mature skin care products as well. I'm really looking for a good serum. I love the texture of Sulwashoo serum, but I can't swing it.
Manyo biffida. Holiy grail for me as well. Thanks to u❤
I’m enjoying your videos so much. 💚
I only use the BOJ mask ( new one on jar ) for aging , normal skin . It’s a lot of product and will use when cold temps hit! Thx Alice ❤❤😊
I found the best EsteeL ANR dupe is definitely Missha’s Night Repair Ampule. I’ve done side by sides with both and Missha blows EL out of the water
Alice, we have exactly same skin type and that's why I follow your products recommendations in the first place. Funny things is most of your favourite products broke me out ex : manyo bifida, all mary&may line, tirtir toner, cosdebaha azelaic acid. But I keep coming back to your videos because I learn so much from you, what ingredients I should avoid and which one should I add. I don't regret spending money on those products I can't use because you'll never know if you'll never try, right 😊
Aw I’m sorry to hear! Breakouts are no fun. But you’re right, gotta try products to know!
THANK YOU for getting this up today!
Building a cart for the BF deals (and pre-tariffs ?? 😬)
Ayyy. Likewise. 😬
I’m your skin twin & Soft Touch is sadly the only k beauty sunscreen I can use outside of the 100% mineral white cast category so I’m thrilled to reorder it in bulk! Purito really redeemed themselves I gotta say & I’m not the forgiving type 🤣
So much fun, loved the format. I picked most of these, but not the Chogongin cos of the smell... You did warn me- and you were right. I simply cannot. I noticed the throat cream lists perfume, could you let me know if you think the smell would be too strong for someone sensitive to perfume? PS my fave Korean sunscreen will always have that price component😂 they are all So Good.
I would say no buuut it’s definitely worth considering that a neck cream doesn’t get as close to your nose. I did find some of medipeel’s products more scented than others!
Your top is beautiful! Would love to know where you got it? 😊
Thank you! Black Milk 😊
I would love an acne treatment category ❤️
Ohhh I need to try the Isntree Green Tea cleanser! It looks similar to my favorite Chaga Jelly cleanser from 107🥰
As someone who likes the chaga as well, yep! Less exfoliating though
I couldn’t agree more with the Isntree cleanser and the brand overall.
I haven't experienced it yet, but AXIS-Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Toner looks like a solid dupe for Allies Of Skin Molecular Savior Probiotics Treatment Mist. Possibly better, definitely less expensive. Ordering it now.
omgoodness - a Best of 2024 already - hmmm ... I guess I can't fight it anymore. From the thumbnail - loving the choices for you! My favorite cleanser is the Yam Root cleanser - so gentle and lovely. I agree 100% with your moisturizer pick - Chogongjin has been very good for my skin (I love the smell of this) and I personally think that the price doesn't reflect the quality of this product - I would expect it to cost more. I love the Isntree Sun Stick - so handy to throw in your bag for easy application all day. 🥰
I am still very much fighting it lol. In fact, this whole decade feels like a whirlwind lol!
I just finished a bottle of the Cos de Baha Azelaic Acid serum and I started having more acne than usual ever since I've stopped using it. It really does make a difference.
Alice, it'd be very helpful if you add the products' names on the same screenshots of the ingredients list. Sometimes I need to go back and forth to try and "read" the packaging you are showing, it'd really help if you add it to the videos. Thank you for this great video!
I would love to know your thoughts on experiments new plasma wash! ❤
Hi Alice, i hope you had a good christmas with your loved ones! I was making a Stylevana order and i noticed that there's also a Bifida Biome Concentrated serum, besides the "regular" one that we all love. Have you ever tried it? And if so, did you like more the concetrated or the regular one? I don't know if it's a new product, 'cause i didn't find almost any reviews on it.Thank you in advance, you're always so kind and sweet with your answers. Love from Italy xx
Loving this review Alice.
Do you do any microneedling to get better penetration of these products?
If so, could you do a tutorial or recommend a good medical micro-needling device.
Thank you so much! 💛🌻
I’m surprised the axis-y mugwort mask didn’t make it into the wash-off mask category!
What a fun watch! Thank you for sharing 😊 many great choices!
Also a good one to be fair 😁
We have the same skin type Alice. i love manyo bifida serum, i agree with you, you will not see instant result with this but after i finished lots of bottles of it i see huge difference on my skin. i couldnt tolerate vitamin c but manyo bifida and retinal creams, and aha do work for me. i hope you'll do review on your favorite korean retinols or retinal
Thank you for reminding me, Parmell Cicamamu is now on its way to me along with high hopes! I don’t know if I have emotional bias to honey or my sweet face is pleading, but I will find my honey 🍯
Ah yes!! I very much want to hear if you like the combo of it plus the versed too. That has been so dreamy for me haha!
You should try the 107 chaga green tea cleanser, to me it is the better version of Isntree green tea cleanser. 107 cleanser is my fav cleanser.
Still thinking about 🍯.. any interest in an ‘Every honey product I’ve tried… Ranked’?
You have dry sensitive acne-prone skin and I have oily dehydrated sensitivity-of-a-rhino skin, but for serums and actives we do have a lot of favorites overlap!
I think I’ve only tried 6 or 7, no HG yet although I enjoy everything in the CosRx Propolis mini set.. still trying.
Maybe. You know, it’s an ingredient I absolutely love, but I guess 2024 hasn’t been the year of honey (good, even honey figured out to lay low - smart). It really is a superstar in skincare though!
I LOVE your Mucha shirt ❤
That's my favorite essence toooooo I love it so much, my BEF (best essence forever)❤
I use the neck cream on my face and LOVE IT! on top of oils and heavy moisturizer too. I can't get enough
Thank you for sharing!
Great video 😊 I just bought the haruharu essence and BOJ mask 😊 So excited to try them out! Will you be doing makeup favourites?
I am considering it 😁
This all seems in order. Speaking of devices in skincare products, Dr Dray was testing a couple products from Meditherapy. The vita real toning laser cream comes with a LED device as part of the lid. The shumage gold seal lifting cream comes with an EM device built into the lid. Gimmicky and yes, how exactly are you supposed to recycle or dispose of the device parts?
I have been eyeing those and thinking the same thing! It’s a fascinating idea but I just don’t understand why we are adding to the electronic waste problem, especially so quickly 😔
Ooo would love to know what your lip color is in this vid!
It’s “Baby” from Merit ☺️
@@AliceintheRabbitHole Thank you!! I've been looking for an excuse to try out Merit.
I really enjoy that Laneige sleeping mask! The last time looked it was in stock at some of the KBeauty retailers but it would have been more than Sephora once shipping was added. My two favorites from this year are the House of Dohwa Rice Makgeolli Moisturizer and the VT PDRN Essence. Rice & Ginseng make my skin so happy!
Ooh rice and ginseng are such good ingredients, thank you for sharing!
I am so tickled. You just picked everything from my table. Happy Thanksgiving !😊
Haha fantastic! Happy holidays!
I'm so impressed you could pick just 1 per category! Aside from different skin types and weather, so much is situational. Is it a morning quick cleanse or am I trying to take off sunscreen and/or makeup? For spf am I in the office, at the beach, working in the yard? Love that you included contenders in each category!
Thank you! I am just planning my next order of Korean skincare and your video is very helpful ❤
Glad it was helpful!
O girl i had ulta shipping issues they suck ordered some stuff for xmas for my son's girlfriend and that was 2 weeks ago and they never shipped it , says UPS awaiting item for 14 days now , i email them and get a message back saying we have received ur package for refund refund issued ?? Never got the package to ship to them and then the refund never came through so i was screwed out of the sale the xtra amount off and everything. Im so annoyed with ulta.
Oh NO seriously!? That is 100% on Ulta if the package hasn’t been delivered. I’d try calling them first as they know this as well!!
I always message them on messenger and I get a response within a few minutes. From what I understand if you don’t receive your package by the 10th day they will either send out a new one or refund you. This happened with me with Ulta and it was OnTrac. It kept saying waiting for package and they ended up shipping a new order. I don’t waste my time with emails with Ulta. Always use messenger or call.
Hi Alice. Thank you for the bonus video. Your videos always bring a smile to my face which is very much needed these days.
🩷🩷
Ready for a jbeauty version!
I absolutely love Chogongjin. I’m just praying they remove the fragrances
Just picked up stuff from niod. I was waiting for a video from you because of the sale. I also have discovered niche beauty and transparent lab. Would love to hear your thoughts if you ever use their products 😊 😉 😊
I do have some NIOD products to share! 😁
I need to try ALL the sunscreens 😅
When I saw the bifida biome ampoule 🤭
Great video!...I have a question. I want to Finally get the SK II toner, and then there is also the Biologique Recherche Lotion P50. I know it is slightly exfoliating. Would you classify these as both toners? and I should use one but not both? I know they are both excellent products what do you think? I have dry skin, but sturdy.
Hi sweet friend. I have the torridan eye cream to start after I finish dermalect and the torridan lip moisturizer love it. ❤ Luv ya
🥰🥰
Hi Alice. Your recommendations for the skincare products are basically what I have been using.. 😂 I will tryout Parnell serum for when my skin is compromised, after I use my Farmstay propolis serum.. 😊
Haha that’s awesome! I hope you like the Parnell too 😊
Wow, the Heimish Eye cream didnt even make it to the list?? Now I gotta try the Axis-y eye cream.
They reformulated it!! I can only hope I like the new version 😭💔
Great round up. You look beautiful. Have a wonderful week ❌️ ⭕️
Thank you! Hope you have a great week too!
Your makeup looks stunning! You look stunning ❤️ Love your vids
Thank you so much!! ☺️
Hey Alice! Really find your recs useful, similar skin type here, acne/sensitive prone to dryness due to acne treatments. My fave one step cleanser is BOJ radiance balm. Have you tried it? I love how effective yet gentle is and lasts forever. Like their spf too! For spf I also love the Japanese product mermaid spf by Canmake!
I haven’t tried every product on this list but I love the eye serum and have the vibrating one queued up next. Isntree Onion Moisturizer is my new Summer favorite, but the “mom” cream is on my wishlist. Being combo, I’m stuck on the man:yo mist instead of the serum. I need to reup on the Ginseng mask for winter.
Omgg im so excited for this video!!!
Hi Alice, I really liked how you made the selection of products, the only thing I have tried from your favorites is the sunscreen and I suspect that the one I ordered was fake.... Hahahaha, because I ordered it on Shopee at a very dubious price. But the Haru Haru Wonder essence is on the way and just by looking at its texture I think it must be exquisite. My preferences would have been the Thank you farmer rice tonic, the Cosrx 13% viramin C, the K-Secret encapsulated Retinal, the Barrieder milky serum from Skin&Lab and I still haven't decided on a sunscreen, because I have many mini sizes that I'm testing. I love seeing your favorites of the year (I've been dying to try the Ma:nyo one since you did the test). I was wondering if you'd be interested in making a video of Asian makeup favorites, I'd really like to see it. A big hug Alice and I hope that next year is more prosperous for you. A giant hug 🥰
I might just do that! I have another c-beauty video coming up (I think c-beauty is more my speed as I love rich pigments haha). They have so many lovely options 😍
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I also love makeup products that are doing more innovative things than what is found in the West. A big hug ❤️
Still using my overnight revitalizing mask in the old packaging, almost done with her though! 😂
As always, amazing video.
My favs are:
- Cleanser: Uriage Xémose Cleansing Soothing Oil (it's not an oil cleanser, but a gel)
- Moisturizer: Axis-Y Dark Spot Glow Cream
- Sunscreen: BOJ Aqua Fresh sunscreen (I love this one a lot)
- Toner: I'm From Rice Toner
- Serum: Ma:nyo Bifida Biome Complex Ampoule (I fell in love with this thanks to you)
- Treatments: Timeless Vitamin C + Generic Tretinoin 0,5%
- Eye Care: BOJ Ginseng + Retinal (this is just the best haha)
I also use Azelaic Acid and a weekly peeling.
I had to look up that cleanser; it sounds lovely! And that’s a huge bottle too 🤯
Love your makeup ❤ so pretty 😍 also what lip product did you use here the shade is so gorgeous
Thank you! It’s Baby from Merit 😊
Ok I have not watched this but I like it already 🎉
Alice, check Yes Style for VT Reedle Shot lifting eye cream refill!
I've thought about trying the haruharu wonder essence but I've not had great luck with fermented ingredients recently, the whole pro-bio cica line was a bust for me. Have you heard of anyone not being able to tolerate ferments? It seems weird since their whole thing is healing the akin barrier
