Eye cream is in a scan in most cases but there are definitely a few times when it’s no. The area is more sensitive so a retinol type product specifically for the eyes make sense. Also, Simon suffers from dark circles, caffeine eye creams are solution for that, especially because they wouldn’t need to use the caffeine all over their face, it’s a kin to the spot treatment.
The Essence Toner is a holy grail for me. My super sensitive skin loves it. No matter how upset my skin gets, I can use it, and it helps. I haven’t found another piece of skincare that I can say that about.
Dr Dray in her review of the black tea line said you don't need everything especially if you were concerned about the prices. She said for her, the toner was better than the serum (since the ingredients seemed pretty similar). She admitted together they give an extra hydration boost but both aren't necessary again based on the price. She liked the eye patches and the face cream. She said the eye cream is nice but for her it's not necessary same with the face mask. She also mentioned some of their other products that she likes.
Thank you for sharing! I think that’s how I ended up choosing the toner over the serum - it looked similar but was more bang for your buck. Very good to have that confirmed by the Doc haha 😆
I really like their calming line. I use the cream as my summer, Day time cream. I have very sensitive skin and these are some of the only slightly exfoliating products I can use. I really want to try some of the Black Tea Line.
Alice you need to try the PYL Intensive Repair Cream - It is by far the richest cream in the entire PYL line. I'm 43 with super dry skin and I was absolutely blown away by how amazing this cream is for the price point!! 😍 It has really good ingredients and is super emollient AND occlusive with a luxurious texture - very similar in feel to the Skinceuticals Tripple Lipid Restore which is my absolute fav moisturiser (but so expensive 😪). I've tried at least 100 different moisturisers in my time and this cream ranks a close second after TLR. It really is the hidden gem of the whole PYL line imo. Love your content Alice ❤️
I love their ATO barrier cream. Very affordable and a little goes a long way. I use it as my last step at night and last step before SPF in the morning. My skin tends to be dehydrated and combo leaning dry.
I tried a few of the old blue line, and totally agree. They just weren’t enough. Haven’t revisited but maybe I will now. Reminds me of ‘Oh, do not ask what is it, let us go and make our visit.’
I've never tried this brand before, but I've decided that I want to order the Black Tea Toner and the Calming Moisture Barrier Cream, they seem like products that I'd like. The packaging of the Black Tea Toner is one of the most beautiful that I've seen!
You really got my intrigued there by the black tea line. The only PY product I have is the moisture serum. I like to use that in days when my skin is extra irritated or sensitive… I also discovered it was amazing post procedures like micro needling. 😊
That does sound like it would be a wonderful pairing! I learned the hard way to be extra cautious with the products I choose post-microneedling (in a word: ouch. Lol!)
Great topic. I’ve been exploring the Black Tea line a enjoyed the eye cream and patches. Definitely interested in trying out the timer. Also have enjoyed the Calming Moisture Balm. Definitely a unique product.
I stumbled into this brand kinda by accident in my first YesStyle order years ago. My first love was their blue ATO body lotion - it sinks in easily but still moisturizes and doesn’t have ANY scent (not even an unfragranced tinge). I quite liked the black tea eye cream and their toners and essences, but I dabble in so many brands in those categories that I haven’t repurchased. Their thin cotton pads are nice for not soaking up too much product - those are what I use to apply my SK-II toner. Yep, I will continue to buy this brand! Loved your Led Zeppelin reference. I sometimes wonder how many of the younger generation have absolutely no idea who these classic artists are (just like I have no idea who the current artists are). Even though the interwebs give us access to all the music we could ever want, the sheer amount is too much to absorb. This is true of many fields, it’s just how time works, but it’s interesting to ponder how many of the songs we love/d might never be known in the future. Sure there will be a record of them, but will people sing along? Feeling introspective and -old- WISE on this rainy Friday. 😆
OHHH I have to tell you this one!! So I was browsing the new section of urban outfitters, kind of mindlessly as I wasn’t planning on buying anything (lol). And I kept seeing band tees right. I found myself doing such a double take at the bands on these shirts. It’s 2023. Do you know what bands these were? Rage against the machine. Nirvana. Pink Floyd. Phish. Dave Matthews Band. 🤯🤯🤯 I thiiink that what’s happening is: people like good music. And good music is timeless, but it’s always been linked to generations in the past (I think because of the way radio worked? Like having your rock station, your pop station, your “oldies” in its own spot…) I think that now people just seek out good music now vs a genre/station? Maybe? Or I’m optimistic lol. But I can say as someone who has always had that approach, I like some of the new music too (SZA and Lil Nas X are some of my newer favs). It’s interesting times!!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole Yes, so true! That's the "on the other hand" for sure. I had a similar experience when I caught a snippet of The Voice on TV and the contestant was singing a Michael McDonald song. I was like "is half the audience going to know this??" hahaha And yeah, being served a very limited repertoire via radio had it's pros/cons. I think the current algorithms do a pretty good job of serving me some newness mixed in with my favorite 70-90's stuff. They try anyway. 😆I really look to my friends to help with that as well, so thank you for the recs!
Thank you for the in-depth brand review, Alice. I think you will really enjoy the cream from the black rice line. And totally agree with you on the sunscreen. Currently trying to use mine up on the backs of my hands.
The cream from the Black Tea line is heaven! It’s very thick, which I love because my skin is dry AF from tretinoin. If you’re oily you might hate it, but it’s otherwise incredible.
YES! it’s now my go-to after clinical treatments, when my barrier is unhappy, etc. I wasn’t a fan of the brand until I received a gift set of the Black Tea line. It’s all amazing but the cream is one of my all time favorites.
I am late watching this because Yo Yo Ma played with my husband's orchestra last night. But: I am so excited. My black tea line order shipped yesterdaaaaay.
I didn't think I could love you more..... Then Led Zeppelin🎼🎵🎶 Only my favorite band ever. I had that silk screen on my bedroom door for years, I still have it, it's just with the box set again. 💿💿 Many blessings!💖💖💖
I’m convinced they’re one of the best bands of all time. I really think (or at least hope!) future generations will continue to discover them - it’s truly timeless music!
I used their hydrating toner and it provided an extra layer of hydration but switching to a pha one gave me better results Pynukang Yul leaves me feeling soft not so much the hydration but it makes things plump if that makes any sense
you said you don't love most of their moisturizers because they're not heavy enough, but did you try the ato blue label cream? it's full of ceramides and i prefer it to the cult fav illiyoon because it is more emollient and more occlusive. i always wake up with skin feeling parched when i wear illiyoon.
Hi Alice, I have bought the Tw real bifida eye cream from Isntree and was considering the black tea eye cream from Pyungkang Yul. After watching this clip, I may even buy the black tea toner. 😂 Love the skin barrier cream which hydrates when my skin is dehydrated and peeling... 😅
I like Isntree’s, but this one is definitely more of a moisturizing eye cream. Isntree’s almost feels like a primer (the two make a great day/night duo!)
Yep! I love PKY's black line so much💖 They are so hydrating and friendly to the sunscreen and foundation I put after them. I'm now consistently repurchasing black tea serum and cream. Also, I sent out 3 sets of eye patches as gifts this Christmas 😂
As someone with oily and super sensitive skin I LOVE the blue toner spray. I've been using it for YEARS and it's one of the few items that I notice a huge difference when I run out. It is now one of the few products I ALWAYS have a backup of to avoid running out. I like to layer a lot of serums/toners/sprays/etc, but I always start with the PY spray.
Pyunkang Yul has been ... fine for me? As a human being with a three-dimensional face, however, I have limited spots in my rotation, and nothing I've tried by PY has been SO terrific that I'd devote a slot to it. And I've tried several of their products. I'm 46 years old, so everything REALLY needs to be doing something important. 😆
I hear ya! I think it makes sense too - their goal is to bring balance; when you want more, other brands are a better fit. Thanks for sharing your experience 😃
I've only ever used the Intensive moisture cream from this brand and really liked it. But they seem to simple to be without actives or anything, so I never bothered with any of their other products.
Omg yes, last week my skin suddenly became extremely dry and sensitive to the point that even the niacinamide serum I used to use every day felt stinging on my skin. I had to stop using it for a while, and now I can actually see that my skin tone has become duller 😂
It’s so frustrating when that happens! 😭 Hmm that’s a good question. I suspect it has, but it might not always be explicitly stated. For example, I see the influence of K-Beauty in western brands now (Tower 28, Peach & Lily, etc). So maybe it’s that the online beauty community impacted the way brands create and formulate, which impacts customers in a more disconnected way in the end?
I managed to buy 6 of those mini eye cream for less than $7 from their official online shop (during sale) in southeast asia. I basically got a full size moisturiser (9ml x 6 = 54ml) for very affordable price. With pyunkang yul, they are usually very affordable and still manage to give us products with very nice texture that is hard for me to get from other brands at the same price point. Also we have monthly sales here that I dont think I ever buy products from them at full price anymore 😂 But I guess I wont buy the other products in black tea line for now cuz I think the price is a bit out of my budget for me to keep buying them in case I like the products Also, it's been a while since I last left a comment on your video. oops. but fret not, I have been watching all of your videos that you've uploaded 😆
6 of them for $7!? 🤯🤯 wow. That’s…yep I’m speechless lol Was it the situation of only available within Korea? I hear the deals are so much more amazing for folks within Korea. It’s hilarious to think about as I already see the regular prices as amazing 😆
@@AliceintheRabbitHole Well, I live in southeast asia, so not only in Korea. While I do see Pyunkang Yul in the physical drugstores in my country, their brand also opened up online store in Lazada and Shopee (basically southeast asia version of amazon I guess) and it's cheaper to buy from them online. Just that, if you have some sort of issue, it's kinda hard to communicate with the customer service cuz I think they use online translation tool instead of directly using english to communicate. At least that was my experience.
Its interesting, I was not that impressed with the black tea eye cream, I thought it was just ok. Saying that as a dry skin girl as well, and an insomniac. Still have not tried the black tea toner, but their Essence Toner is my HG toner. So now dying to try that one. The intensive repair cream I thought was just fine (sorry other Alice fans that love it). Still searching for my HG Kbeauty eye cream & moisturizer! Closest for the latter I have found is the old formulation of the Beauty of Joseon dynasty cream. I did also like the Huxley Sahara cream for night only
Thank you for sharing! Is it that you’re looking for a rich moisturizer? Those are kind of hard to find in K-Beauty. I’d say my top two picks are numbuzin no.2 cream and Sioris deep in a barrier (note that the Sioris does have EOs though).
Have you tried Beauty of Joseon’s eye cream? It has retinal (with an a not o) in it. I’ve heard many good things about it, and that it can be used as a face cream not just an eye cream. People are raving about it. I’m gonna give it a try.
I bought a few items from their black tea line, such as what you just showed, the eye cream, eye patch & toner. I have oily/combination skin, and it works great so far. My skin looks more... How do I explain it... awake & bright. I do want to try a few more things from them, so I really appreciate your review!
Yes!! Yeah I know exactly what you’re talking about, and it really is hard to put into words. I think it’s …well-cared for skin? Whatever it is, I like it LOL 😆
Have you tried their ATO Cream in the tube? That may be occlusive enough for you. Rowena, from the Beauty Within videos has dry, eczema prone skin & loved this cream.😉
I looked up the serum ( black tea ) and 67 ingredients 😮 thats so insane to me. Idk but when I see that many ingredients in a product, it makes me think that the good ingredients can't be a high percentage. Not saying its not a great product though. I tend to stay clear of products with a ton of ingredients because if my skin freaks out, I'll most likely never find out what ingredient it was lol
I definitely understand that perspective!! I tend to reach for my short INCI products when my skin is having a rough time. It does reduce the variables for problems, indeed!
Hello Alice!! So excited for this, CAN you give us your thoughts about ELF AND MAD HIPPIE PRODUCTS?! And i have a third suggestion too, how about Pacifica? Especially since they came out with a cermide vegan cream and even the moon lavender line has a lip balm! I saw you review the ceramide cleanser once, but not the rest of the line. Your Dearest fan- Asa!
Thanks for the suggestions! I would really love to redo Pacifica, although I feel I’d have to give a whole proper length review to them as they have changed SO much (in a good way I’d say!)
Hi Alice, I love the PY essence and nutrition cream! Need to try the black tea line next. BTW, your blush looks gorgeous! 😍Would you mind sharing which one you are using in this video?
It’s Kaja! The jelly charm in 02 squeeze guava If you’re interested in the brand, I would recommend keeping an eye on their direct website. When they run 30% off discounts, you can stack a referral with that for an extra $10 off $25. I was able to get these for $12.50 each vs Sephora’s $25 retail price!
I want to love and buy the black tea serum-toner but they have silicone and I use multiple serums so I try to keep silicones to the moisturizer step to prevent the silicones from blocking my serums from absorbing since it creates a film and tends to lock things in. but if I only had a one or two step routine I would totes buy the black tea toner and the Neogene micro ferment serum(not shown in the video lol).
I found the ampoule kinda futile in my routine. The balancing gel is similar but still kinda futile but works well as a primer. As a side note, could you review the swanicoco peptine biome skintoner? It has great ingredients and I like it I feel like it needs more love!
Yep I feel ya. They’re unique products, but I do think other products accomplish a similar goal (and often with generally more going on) That swanicoco does sound up my alley!
lovely! intruiged to try the black tea line since the thicker the eye cream , the more i like it! :D BTw I used the essence (the blue one) and I think it was doing nothing, really put me off of this brand..
Hey Alice! Have you ever tried the brand good light? I got their hyaluronic acid moisturizer from ulta and I really like it! It's a slightly thicker texture, not quite a balm.
It’s not too different from ordering within your country, you just have to provide a phone number (this is standard for int’l as the post office does NOT want to have to send it back; they want to get it to you - and will call if needed!)
^thats correct! It’s an unusual texture, almost gloopy (..errr. That’s a word, right? Right. 😆) But once you figure out the best patting application for you, it’s an amazing product for deep hydration
Do u recommend getting the calming moisture repair cream to treat redness or should I just buy a cream that literally is made for redness like the cetaphil redness relief?
I suppose it does depend on what’s causing the redness, but in general, it’s a wise idea to start with targeted treatments (ie azelaic acid, madecassoside, artemisia, licorice) and round out your routine with other calming products to boost barrier efficacy. The right actives + calming “support” makes for a very effective routine! 😃
It’s safe! I just think there are better options on the market, but tbh it’s still better than a lot of western sunscreens lol. I think K-Beauty sunscreens have me spoiled 🤣
You’re not alone! And I feel the biggest problem is it’s prevalence. Goodness gracious it’s in soooo many products (great for most, very frustrating for those it doesn’t work for 😭)
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I wanted to love CeraVe (spelling?) but I couldn’t deal. Gave it to my daughter and she loves it. I hate having sensitive skin and allergies 😑
Oh my God you make me laugh so hard. A bustle in your hedgerow, huh? only old people like me will understand that reference. I almost gasped when I saw your Led Zeppelin fabric.!!!
My toxic trait is yelling at people that eye cream is a scam and then spending my money on eye patches 😂
LOL!!
😂😂😂
Using the product left over from an eye patch is so relieving, like using the rest of it as a moisturizer
Eye cream is in a scan in most cases but there are definitely a few times when it’s no. The area is more sensitive so a retinol type product specifically for the eyes make sense. Also, Simon suffers from dark circles, caffeine eye creams are solution for that, especially because they wouldn’t need to use the caffeine all over their face, it’s a kin to the spot treatment.
BAHAHAHAHA!!!!
The Essence Toner is a holy grail for me. My super sensitive skin loves it. No matter how upset my skin gets, I can use it, and it helps. I haven’t found another piece of skincare that I can say that about.
I use Perricone MD products plus the the Pyunkang yul essence toner. I love it.
Dr Dray in her review of the black tea line said you don't need everything especially if you were concerned about the prices.

@@AliceintheRabbitHole I'll second the recommendation of the Intensive Repair Cream, this is my go-to if my skin is acting all sensitive.
I think you’ll love the cream from the black tea line. It’s very thick and I love it. Fan of the whole line.
It sounds so lovely! 🤩
Finally, someone sees this new range. I've been using the whole tea range for around a year. It's wonderful.
I love their ATO barrier cream. Very affordable and a little goes a long way. I use it as my last step at night and last step before SPF in the morning. My skin tends to be dehydrated and combo leaning dry.
It was my life saver for dry sensitive skin in canadian arsh winter.

Looking forward to trying some of the black tea products. Thank you, Alice
It’s a fantastic line! Have a great weekend 😁

Reminds me of ‘Oh, do not ask what is it, let us go and make our visit.’
Yep, very basic. It can have a place, but my skin type needs more!
I LOVE the Balancing Gel as my daily "Sleeping Mask", been using it for years and nothing else could replace it!

Absolutely stunning! I'm intrigued to try💕👍
Great topic. I’ve been exploring the Black Tea line a enjoyed the eye cream and patches. Definitely interested in trying out the timer. Also have enjoyed the Calming Moisture Balm. Definitely a unique product.

@@AliceintheRabbitHoleHi, have you tried the black tea cream? Does it clog pores?
I managed to buy 6 of those mini eye cream for less than $7 from their official online shop (during sale) in southeast asia. I basically got a full size moisturiser (9ml x 6 = 54ml) for very affordable price. With pyunkang yul, they are usually very affordable and still manage to give us products with very nice texture that is hard for me to get from other brands at the same price point. Also we have monthly sales here that I dont think I ever buy products from them at full price anymore 😂
But I guess I wont buy the other products in black tea line for now cuz I think the price is a bit out of my budget for me to keep buying them in case I like the products
Also, it's been a while since I last left a comment on your video. oops. but fret not, I have been watching all of your videos that you've uploaded 😆
6 of them for $7!? 🤯🤯 wow. That’s…yep I’m speechless lol
Was it the situation of only available within Korea? I hear the deals are so much more amazing for folks within Korea. It’s hilarious to think about as I already see the regular prices as amazing 😆
@@AliceintheRabbitHole Well, I live in southeast asia, so not only in Korea. While I do see Pyunkang Yul in the physical drugstores in my country, their brand also opened up online store in Lazada and Shopee (basically southeast asia version of amazon I guess) and it's cheaper to buy from them online.
Just that, if you have some sort of issue, it's kinda hard to communicate with the customer service cuz I think they use online translation tool instead of directly using english to communicate. At least that was my experience.
Girl, you gotta try the black tea cream. It’s very emollient and a new favorite
Its interesting, I was not that impressed with the black tea eye cream, I thought it was just ok. Saying that as a dry skin girl as well, and an insomniac. Still have not tried the black tea toner, but their Essence Toner is my HG toner. So now dying to try that one. The intensive repair cream I thought was just fine (sorry other Alice fans that love it). Still searching for my HG Kbeauty eye cream & moisturizer! Closest for the latter I have found is the old formulation of the Beauty of Joseon dynasty cream. I did also like the Huxley Sahara cream for night only
Thank you for sharing! Is it that you’re looking for a rich moisturizer? Those are kind of hard to find in K-Beauty. I’d say my top two picks are numbuzin no.2 cream and Sioris deep in a barrier (note that the Sioris does have EOs though).
Have you tried Beauty of Joseon’s eye cream? It has retinal (with an a not o) in it. I’ve heard many good things about it, and that it can be used as a face cream not just an eye cream. People are raving about it. I’m gonna give it a try.
@@kristinekerr3688 No, but will add it to the list!
I bought a few items from their black tea line, such as what you just showed, the eye cream, eye patch & toner. I have oily/combination skin, and it works great so far. My skin looks more... How do I explain it... awake & bright. I do want to try a few more things from them, so I really appreciate your review!
Yes!! Yeah I know exactly what you’re talking about, and it really is hard to put into words. I think it’s …well-cared for skin? Whatever it is, I like it LOL 😆
I have tried their eye cream and really did like it. Have a wonderful weekend ❌️ ⭕️
Hope you have a great weekend too! 😃💕
You should definitely try the Black tea cream
The serum is quite similar to the toner
Have you tried their ATO Cream in the tube? That may be occlusive enough for you. Rowena, from the Beauty Within videos has dry, eczema prone skin & loved this cream.😉
I looked up the serum ( black tea ) and 67 ingredients 😮 thats so insane to me. Idk but when I see that many ingredients in a product, it makes me think that the good ingredients can't be a high percentage. Not saying its not a great product though. I tend to stay clear of products with a ton of ingredients because if my skin freaks out, I'll most likely never find out what ingredient it was lol
I definitely understand that perspective!! I tend to reach for my short INCI products when my skin is having a rough time. It does reduce the variables for problems, indeed!
I use the toner, barrier cream and sleeping mask and I love them
Thank you, once again, for your very informative video.
Hello Alice!! So excited for this, CAN you give us your thoughts about ELF AND MAD HIPPIE PRODUCTS?!
And i have a third suggestion too, how about Pacifica? Especially since they came out with a cermide vegan cream and even the moon lavender line has a lip balm! I saw you review the ceramide cleanser once, but not the rest of the line.
Your Dearest fan- Asa!
Thanks for the suggestions! I would really love to redo Pacifica, although I feel I’d have to give a whole proper length review to them as they have changed SO much (in a good way I’d say!)
@@AliceintheRabbitHole i cant wait!
@6:40 😂😂 bravo for sneaking that in
love ur videos and love pyunkang yul
Hi Alice, I love the PY essence and nutrition cream! Need to try the black tea line next. BTW, your blush looks gorgeous! 😍Would you mind sharing which one you are using in this video?
It’s Kaja! The jelly charm in 02 squeeze guava
If you’re interested in the brand, I would recommend keeping an eye on their direct website. When they run 30% off discounts, you can stack a referral with that for an extra $10 off $25. I was able to get these for $12.50 each vs Sephora’s $25 retail price!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole Thank you so much for the tip on the Kaja sale! ❤️
I want to love and buy the black tea serum-toner but they have silicone and I use multiple serums so I try to keep silicones to the moisturizer step to prevent the silicones from blocking my serums from absorbing since it creates a film and tends to lock things in. but if I only had a one or two step routine I would totes buy the black tea toner and the Neogene micro ferment serum(not shown in the video lol).
Have you tried the neogen micro ferment Essence? That’s one of my favorite fermented essences (and probably my most affordable fav!)
I just received a mini of it that I am super excited to try, glad to know my purchase was validated lol
This is the best video love ,🎉 ❤ xx
I found the ampoule kinda futile in my routine. The balancing gel is similar but still kinda futile but works well as a primer.
As a side note, could you review the swanicoco peptine biome skintoner? It has great ingredients and I like it I feel like it needs more love!
Yep I feel ya. They’re unique products, but I do think other products accomplish a similar goal (and often with generally more going on)
That swanicoco does sound up my alley!
Oh my gosh I have been looking at the toner since last year but it was so hard to find reviews
I remember it having such a moment, but yeah…it’s not discussed as much anymore!
lovely! intruiged to try the black tea line since the thicker the eye cream , the more i like it! :D BTw I used the essence (the blue one) and I think it was doing nothing, really put me off of this brand..
You should try the moisture serum ....is the best of them .
Thanks Alice
Hey Alice! Have you ever tried the brand good light? I got their hyaluronic acid moisturizer from ulta and I really like it! It's a slightly thicker texture, not quite a balm.
Yes!! I haven’t tried much yet, but I have been floored by what I have tried. Their probiotics serum is also amazing!
Alice, if there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now. Heheheh.
It turned out to be okay - It was just a spring clean for the May queen, whew!
Hi Alice, have you seen the pyungkang brightening line? Toner, serum and face cream. I have not seen any reviews on it. Would you mind?
The Black Tea line >>>
Indeed 😁
I have heard good things about their cleansing balm. Has anyone tried it?
Hi 🤗💗
I'd love to order from yesstyle but I live in an apartment. How does yesstyle work ?
It’s not too different from ordering within your country, you just have to provide a phone number (this is standard for int’l as the post office does NOT want to have to send it back; they want to get it to you - and will call if needed!)
@@AliceintheRabbitHole cool! I am going to give a go! 🤗❤️
Hi Alice, can I get your updated thoughts on the intensive ceramide lotion if it's still worth it? Thank you!
I do still like it! I finished mine off a while ago; great fragrance free option for a body cream (that I actually found can even work on my face).
Where do u get space for alllll these products! I'm trying to stop buying k-b but.... Omg!
Haha yes, you see why I’ve added a declutter to my empties videos 😆
Pronunciation is wrong on the name. Look up 편강율 to hear what it sounds like.
Have you tried the “Balancing Gel”? I had gotten a sample but it didn’t spread well..
It's not supposed to spread
It's a sealant You're supposed to just pat it on specially on areas which are prone to dehydration
^thats correct! It’s an unusual texture, almost gloopy (..errr. That’s a word, right? Right. 😆)
But once you figure out the best patting application for you, it’s an amazing product for deep hydration
Hey guys can anyone kindly tell me where in seoul i can get their products other than their flagship store?
Do u recommend getting the calming moisture repair cream to treat redness or should I just buy a cream that literally is made for redness like the cetaphil redness relief?
I suppose it does depend on what’s causing the redness, but in general, it’s a wise idea to start with targeted treatments (ie azelaic acid, madecassoside, artemisia, licorice) and round out your routine with other calming products to boost barrier efficacy. The right actives + calming “support” makes for a very effective routine! 😃
Oh heck. I’ve got that sunscreen. Should I not use it? Or is it ok/safe? Help!!
It’s safe! I just think there are better options on the market, but tbh it’s still better than a lot of western sunscreens lol. I think K-Beauty sunscreens have me spoiled 🤣
Hi Alice ❌️ ⭕️
I wish niacinamide didn’t sting my skin! I know it’s a great ingredient
You’re not alone! And I feel the biggest problem is it’s prevalence. Goodness gracious it’s in soooo many products (great for most, very frustrating for those it doesn’t work for 😭)
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I wanted to love CeraVe (spelling?) but I couldn’t deal. Gave it to my daughter and she loves it. I hate having sensitive skin and allergies 😑
Oh my God you make me laugh so hard. A bustle in your hedgerow, huh? only old people like me will understand that reference. I almost gasped when I saw your Led Zeppelin fabric.!!!
😁😁💕

lots of chemicals when you look at the ingredient list
