Truly the absolute best person for both Korean skincare and health in general. So happy to find your videos when I was searching info on history of whoo! I pulled the trigger to get the hwanyu serum after seeing your review. Many thanks!!
Just bought the Centellian Ampole for the olive young sale! I can’t wait to use it! Thanks Odile, you’re one of my most trusted youtube skin influencer!
Thank you 🙏 I find that the strength of Korean high-end skincare brands is that they’re developed in-house by companies with massive investments in R&D and innovation. Most innovations in Korean skincare are started by these companies (LG, Amorepacific etc) and then they trickle down to smaller brands over the years. Just to give you a quick example: LG was the first company in Korea to develop cosmetics using human stem cells over 10 years ago and other smaller companies are only just starting to catch up with that this year. Unlike with other premium beauty brands, the price tag of Korean high-end brands is not simply about prestige and branding. I always thought it was a shame there was little to no information on the topic available in English so I'm doing my best to fill this gap and show people that no, one is not just "paying more for brand name" 🤷♀️
Hi. Watching this video a year later. Did you find the centellian 24 helpful. I am considering buying it but there are not too many reviews out there. Thank you. 😊
@geethaparasuram6338 I used it about a week and felt it was stinging a little bit, sadly. Bioelements GigaWatt helped a lot with sun-related hyperpigmentation… it is pricy but I was diligent and careful to rub in well. Within 5-6 weeks, I saw spots visibly diminished.
OH NO! Now I have more products to put on my wishlist 🤣 Thank you for putting in so much hard work so that we can learn more about korean skincare and beauty history! 😁 I have loved watching your videos since discovering your channel this year and have even bought several of the products you recommended, with great results! I wanted to ask you if you have any plans/intentions of making a video on korean makeup/cosmetics this year?
this is gold information! I am looking forward to get some of those products, so excited. please I will wait for your next videos like always! amazing!
Thank you 🙏 I wanted to give my viewers different options for different needs / preferences so hopefully everyone can find something that suits them. Plus, when I find a product that does its job properly I tend to stick with it until I have valid reasons to think something better is on the market 🤣 I'm a very Marie Kondo type of person, I don't keep 10 different toners that do the exact same thing lying around the house 😅
Thank you Odile, for one more amazing video! I was never into skin care routines or skin care at all but your videos have really been a game changer for me. Shall give the Centellian24 ampoule a shot for sure :)
I've been looking forward to this video since last week and it didn't disappoint! (Your videos never do😁) and I'm super intrigued by the History of Whoo cream, definitely going to pick that one up.
Please make a video on best eye sunscreen lotion that doesn't burn ,sting and tear up your eyes . Something that is to find in USA ,so that i can find it and buy it .use it on me and my small kids . Kids 4 year old 6 year old .
Hi Odile, loved this video. Looking forward to the next one 😊. I have a rather unusual request. Was wondering if you could make a video of anti-aging Korean skincare products especially serums and moisturisers that don’t contain Niacinamide. Preferably ones that you may have tried and tested. Unfortunately my skin doesn’t care much for it . Thank you in advance.
That might be a bit difficult. Almost everything has niacinamide, especially anti-aging serums in Korea. Adenosine and niacinamide are common ingredients in anti aging serums.
Sure! I worked for anti-aging skincare brands for most of my career so I like to think it’s my ~field of expertise~ and the branch of Korean skincare I know the most about 🤣 most of the contents I planned for this year are centered around anti-aging brands and products so I'm sure there will be something that fits your needs. On top of my head I can think of Whoo's Cheongidan Radiant Regenerating Cream, Isa Knox's Focus Prime Double Effect Face and Eye Cream or Sooryehan's Hyobidam Fermented Cream (I recently talked about it in the second part of my Hanbang guide).
@@OdileMonodTheMonodist Yes I loved your video on Hanbang skincare. I do have my eyes on the Sooryehan ginseng cream and essence. Omg so excited about you doing anti aging products and brands . Don’t see much of it , especially for 45+ to 55 group (menopausal 🤓) . So looking forward and I just want to say THANK YOU for all the details and information you provide us , not just your RUclips but also your blog . Truly appreciate it . Isa Knox and whoo are also on my wish list.
Dear Odile, I hope you can read this message. I've tried to find the Centellian24 Expert Madeca Mela Capture Ampoule RX 7 ml. but major cosmetic sites (StyleVana, Yesstyle, etc) don't stock it anymore. Instead they sell the Centellian24 Expert Madeca Mela Capture Ampoule in a 50 ml flask. Do you think it could be as effective as the small "RX" version? Thanking you in advance and my most sincere congratulations for your videos, they are a great serious source of information.
Hi Odile-I bought expert madeca mela ampule bc of you. I do like it. I am almost done with the ampules. I am using muktiple things for my hyperpigmentation. I was wondering what you thought of the Hada Labo premium whitening lotion & Axis Y dark spot correcting serum. Have you tried these? Thank you Odile
Grazie mille! Mi occupo io stessa di tradurre manualmente i video in italiano e coreano perché ci tengo molto a fornire contenuti accessibili e precisi a chi mi segue 🙏
Nice video as always. I am super interested in the Hanban way. I think that there is a lot of wisdom from our ancestors and we should not discard it as it’ll be our loss.
Thanks Odile for such a great vdo just wondering which skincare should I use or focus on I watch your dr g vdo too I have dark spots from acne sun spots at cheek bones and redness I have combination skin
I would personally go for the Mela Capture Ampoule because it works both to reduce sun damage and PIH. The Isoi's Blemish Care Serum works better to reduce redness but it's not very effective on sun damage or old hyperpigmentation, so in this case I would combine the Mela Capture Ampoule with a soothing product (could be an essence, a toner, a cream, whatever you prefer). If it helps, I really love Dr.G's RED Blemish line or Missha's Artemisia line for soothing redness.
Could I request information on living in sever northern climates and the necessity of sunscreen? I have a hard time believing that in winter months that last a majority of the year calls for constant sun block 🤷🏼♀️
Hi Thank you for making such a great , informative and intelligent video. 😍🙌🏼 But can you please recommend a site/place to purchase in Europe. Live in Sweden and finding it hard to find almost all of the products mentioned. Maybe I should start my own online store 😍😊 💕 Stockholm
Thank you 🥰 All websites are linked in the description box, if a product is not available outside of Korea you can use a proxy service like Koreanbuddy that will shop the item for you in Korea and forward the parcel to your country 😊
Hello Odile, i’m quite new with this side of skincare routine, and struggling to choose what i need to do and come a cross with your video, its really helpful, thanks a lot :) (AHC season 10 is really great) but eventually, i’m still confused, what i should wear for reduce old hyperpigmentation under my eye between the daily routine that i stick with, because i think i should finish the product diligently to know if its works or not. Its quite hard to search and dig any information to reach best skin routine for myself (maybe many peoples think the same) because every person have different skin, and i start this routine late for my age. I want to try centellina or history of woo, which one should i try?
Thank you so much for the no-nonsense guides. I bought all the products you use for hyperpigmentation. My question is can I use them in the summer? I know that, for example, laser treatment for dark spots cannot be done in the summer which is why I ask. Do you use the products all the year?
Yes, all these products can be used in summer 😎 Laser treatments act on a deeper level compared to topical skincare, which is why they're discouraged in summer. TSome ingredients used in topical skincare (i.e. some retinoids) have been shown to increase skin's photosensitivity in some studies, however that simply means you should be extra diligent with your sunscreen when you use those products. Products in the video don't contain ingredients suspected to be photosensitising so you can use them all year round.
@@OdileMonodTheMonodist Thank you for your quick response. Can I alternate between retinoids and the products for hyperpigmentation or is it better to do one whole series and then another?
Yes you can absolutely alternate! Retinoids will help fading hyperpigmentation by stimulating skin turnover by they won't prevent new pigmentation from forming so it would make sense to have an additional product to inhibit the formation of hyperpigmentation. A common approach is to use retinoids at night and a hyperpigmentation treatment during the day, since some retinoids are photosensitive and lose efficacy when exposed to UV rays.
@@OdileMonodTheMonodist Oh, thank you so much. One always thinks that products must be used twice a day. I do hope that all is well with you now. You seem like such a kind person. And the proof is in your responses. Very good work! Again, thank you!
Hi! Centellian24 Expert Madeca Mela Capture Ampoule Pro and Centellian24 Expert Madeca Mela Capture Ampoule Rx are those same? I bought ampoule Rx 15 days ago from olive global online. But now this product stock out. Can i use ampoule pro instead of ampoule rx
The serum gets reformulated every year but Centellian24 keeps selling all the previous versions. • "Madeca Mela Capture" (original serum) • "Madeca Mela Capture RX" (2nd generation, mentioned in this video) • "Madeca Mela Capture Pro" (3rd generation that came out this year). Every version has different ingredients and technologies but to be honest, I don't find there’s a big difference in terms of long term effects. I've been using the Pro edition since it was released and it still works great like the RX edition. In short: they are both fantastic and they do essentially the same thing 😂
It's a spot treatment, so it should be used only where you have dark spots. You can use it on top of a liquid hydrator (toner/first essence) and before your moisturiser. It's a very concentrated formula so a little goes a long way (as you can see from this video it should be rubbed for a few seconds for it to melt and the more you apply it, the longer it's going take). If you apply it morning and evening, you should see the first results after 30-40 days but every person is different. If you don't see any results after 3 months however, that probably means the product is not working for you!
Hi.. thank you so much for this informative video… if i were to ask you to recommend only 1 product out of these 3 products for dark spots, freckls, pigmentation.. which one wud tht be… also suggest the approx time of usuage so tht i stock in sufficient quantity…hoping an early reply so tht i can buy while in south korea… thank in advance
Hi Odile-dod anything change in your choices for hyperpigmentation serums? I have some sun spots not melasma that I began tackling last December. Very hard. Curious to know what you still recommend. Thank you :)
No, when I like a product I usually stick with it for a long time until I have a valid enough reason to think something better is out there (new technologies, new ingredients etc) so these favourites will probably keep being favourites for a while 🤣 last month Centellian24 launched a renewed version of the Madeca Capture Ampoule in this video, the new version is great but so far I can't really tell the difference with the previous version 😊 I also use these products mainly for age spots, I don't suffer from melasma but the ingredients to tackle brown hyperpigmentation are similar so these products should work for both.
@@OdileMonodTheMonodist Thank you Odile. I live in the US and when I click on these links it does not seem to ship to the US. Can you double-check for me please? I am going to look at Yesstyle and Soko Glam. They sell Korean skincare too. I hope I can buy the Centellian 24. Thank you again
Odile-forgot to ask out of your reccomendations do you think Centellian 24 would be best for sun spots? I did find it online for the US. Please lmk what you think about which product may be best for sun spots not melasma
Olive Young Global ships to the US don't worry! Yes the Centellian24 ampoule would be the best choice for sun damage. They recommend it for all types of brown hyperpigmentation and it's a comprehensive formula that targets different types of hyperpigmentation. As I mentioned I used it on age spots and it worked like a charm so I'm confident it should help also with sun damage.
Ciao e grazie per i tuoi video sempre molto interessanti. Volevo chiederti se comprando online i prodotti da te suggeriti in questo video si rischia di ricevere un prodotto contraffatto. Sono stata a Seoul qualche anno fa e ho visto il mercato della contraffazione cosmetica con i miei occhi per esempio sul siero sum:37. Inoltre ho acquistato tempo fa da stylevana e non credo di aver avuto il prodotto originale.
Sì è un problema decisamente presente in Corea, anche vicino casa mia ho due piccoli negozietti che vendono prodotti contraffatti alla luce del sole e nessuno gli dice niente. Purtroppo i marchi high-end sono proprio quelli più colpiti da quello che viene riportato dai notiziari in Corea. Anni fa ci fu un servizio in TV in cui venne chiesto ad un impiegato di Sulwhasoo di distinguere un loro prodotto originale da uno contraffatto e anche lui non riuscí nell'impresa. Quando vivevo in Europa, anche io avevo sempre la paranoia di ricevere prodotti contraffatti da siti di rivenditori secondari, quindi quello che facevo era acquistare dai siti coreani dei marchi in questione utilizzando un servizio di inoltro posta. Se vuoi avere la certezza al 100% di acquistare prodotti originali l'unica cosa da fare è acquistare da circuiti retail che sono presenti in Corea (o Olive Young Global che però non spedisce in Italia per il momento o i siti coreani dei marchi come dicevo prima). I vari yesstyle, stylevana ecc dichiarano di essere distributori autorizzati e per adesso non ho motivo di dubitare delle loro parole, però naturalmente essendo rivenditori secondari non coreani non posso nemmeno avere la certezza assoluta che sia effettivamente così. Quello che può aiutare in questo senso è che case di produzione come la LG (Whoo, Sooryehan, Sum37, O Hui ecc) hanno iniziato negli ultimi anni a usare dei QR code sulle confezioni dei loro prodotti più costosi (tutti i set regalo e i prodotti singoli dai 70 euro in su - quindi quasi tutto fuorché i detergenti) che ti aiutano ad identificarne l'autenticità. Se ti è capitato di prendere prodotti di questi marchi in quella fascia di prezzo dai vari yesstyle e stylevana ecc e non avevano il codice QR sulla confezione, allora avresti ragione nel dubitare però, per adesso, non posso nè darti la certezza assoluta nè smentire. I link coreani in descrizione invece sono tutti di rivenditori ufficiali in Corea quindi volendo si possono utilizzare per l'inoltro posta di cui parlavo.
Grazie sei stata molto esaustiva. Infatti avevo comprato un siero di whoo da stylevana e siccome dopo 3 mesi non avevo ricevuto ancora nulla ho contattato il servizio clienti e hanno subito provveduto a spedire l'ordine. All'arrivo del pacco però ho trovato non il siero ma tutto il set e senza il qr code. Avevo già intuito che fosse non originale ma adesso ne ho la certezza.
Not all types of alcohol or essential oils are sensitising. The alcohol contained in the serum is a natural byproduct of the fermentation process used in the product, this naturally occurring alcohol is not known to be potentially irritating (unless someone is allergic to it, but that applies to any skincare ingredient 😅). The Rosa Damascena Oil is used for its soothing properties and like before, it's only sensitising if one is allergic to it. It's hard to make generalisations about sensitive skin because every individual has different triggers, but there are classes of essential oils that are more likely to cause irritation to sensitive skin and they’re mostly citrus oils. Other types of essential oils are not as irritating (again, unless someone is allergic to them) and can also provide benefits to sensitive skin such as essential oils with anti-inflammatory properties like Rosa Damascena here or Lavender Oil etc. This is different from ingredients like ascorbic acid, retinoids, etc that should be introduced slowly because they can be sensitising even for individuals that don't have sensitive skin or any allergy. Hope it makes sense! Also, Isoi commissioned multiple tests from different labs to confirm the serum was suitable for sensitive skin, and shared the unedited results on their website to reassure their customer base with sensitive skin. So unless a person has an allergy to a specific ingredient in the formula, it should be fine! 😊
It's a great product to revive grey and lackluster skin, but personally I didn't notice any significant effect on uneven pigmentation. So it really depends what you're looking for! If it helps, I find that the Radiant White Essence works better as an overall treatment against hyperpigmentation. I was battled whether to include the essence or the spot treatment in this video, but the spot treatment is pure magic!
Hi Odile-this is not about hyperpigmentation. I heard about a Korean microneedling pen that is very good but I forgot the name..Are you familiar with any of these Korean pens? Thank you :)
It's a PHA exfoliant, it was shown during the first part about tips on how to reduce dark spots. It’s the only chemical exfoliant I use because my skin doesn't tolerate glycolic acid and the other "gentle" chemical exfoliants (mandelic acid etc) don't do much for me so PHA is my chemical exfoliant of choice and the CNP Laboratory's Invisible Peeling Booster is the best PHA exfoliant I used 😊
@@OdileMonodTheMonodist thank you so much for the reply, I was looking into it. I have PIP from acne from a broken barrier. Looking to see what's my best option. This is really helpful
Unless you have sensitised skin, the Centellian24 ampoule is a great all-rounder that improves all types of hyperpigmentation. It's sold in boxes of 2 or 4 bottles, one bottle is 7ml and will last you for about a week if you use it every day, so if you want to get a month worth of treatment I recommend getting the 4 bottle set or 2 2 bottle sets
Hello my friend tomorrow is school my friend any tips to me for glowy skin because this country side is summer any tips to hydrate and whitening skin?? 😊💖❤😃
I am from France. I tried ISOI and after I become an addict to this brand. Thank you for your very good recommendations

Centellian24's Madeca Mela Capture Ampoule 😌
Hi Odile-dod anything change in your choices for hyperpigmentation serums? I have some sun spots not melasma that I began tackling last December. Very hard. Curious to know what you still recommend. Thank you :)
No, when I like a product I usually stick with it for a long time until I have a valid enough reason to think something better is out there (new technologies, new ingredients etc) so these favourites will probably keep being favourites for a while 🤣 last month Centellian24 launched a renewed version of the Madeca Capture Ampoule in this video, the new version is great but so far I can't really tell the difference with the previous version 😊
I also use these products mainly for age spots, I don't suffer from melasma but the ingredients to tackle brown hyperpigmentation are similar so these products should work for both.
@@OdileMonodTheMonodist Thank you Odile. I live in the US and when I click on these links it does not seem to ship to the US. Can you double-check for me please? I am going to look at Yesstyle and Soko Glam. They sell Korean skincare too. I hope I can buy the Centellian 24. Thank you again
Odile-forgot to ask out of your reccomendations do you think Centellian 24 would be best for sun spots? I did find it online for the US. Please lmk what you think about which product may be best for sun spots not melasma
Olive Young Global ships to the US don't worry! Yes the Centellian24 ampoule would be the best choice for sun damage. They recommend it for all types of brown hyperpigmentation and it's a comprehensive formula that targets different types of hyperpigmentation. As I mentioned I used it on age spots and it worked like a charm so I'm confident it should help also with sun damage.
@@OdileMonodTheMonodist Thank you for answering. I will order from them. I appreciate your knowledge in this area. Looking forward to more videos
Ciao e grazie per i tuoi video sempre molto interessanti. Volevo chiederti se comprando online i prodotti da te suggeriti in questo video si rischia di ricevere un prodotto contraffatto. Sono stata a Seoul qualche anno fa e ho visto il mercato della contraffazione cosmetica con i miei occhi per esempio sul siero sum:37. Inoltre ho acquistato tempo fa da stylevana e non credo di aver avuto il prodotto originale.
Sì è un problema decisamente presente in Corea, anche vicino casa mia ho due piccoli negozietti che vendono prodotti contraffatti alla luce del sole e nessuno gli dice niente. Purtroppo i marchi high-end sono proprio quelli più colpiti da quello che viene riportato dai notiziari in Corea. Anni fa ci fu un servizio in TV in cui venne chiesto ad un impiegato di Sulwhasoo di distinguere un loro prodotto originale da uno contraffatto e anche lui non riuscí nell'impresa. Quando vivevo in Europa, anche io avevo sempre la paranoia di ricevere prodotti contraffatti da siti di rivenditori secondari, quindi quello che facevo era acquistare dai siti coreani dei marchi in questione utilizzando un servizio di inoltro posta. Se vuoi avere la certezza al 100% di acquistare prodotti originali l'unica cosa da fare è acquistare da circuiti retail che sono presenti in Corea (o Olive Young Global che però non spedisce in Italia per il momento o i siti coreani dei marchi come dicevo prima).
I vari yesstyle, stylevana ecc dichiarano di essere distributori autorizzati e per adesso non ho motivo di dubitare delle loro parole, però naturalmente essendo rivenditori secondari non coreani non posso nemmeno avere la certezza assoluta che sia effettivamente così. Quello che può aiutare in questo senso è che case di produzione come la LG (Whoo, Sooryehan, Sum37, O Hui ecc) hanno iniziato negli ultimi anni a usare dei QR code sulle confezioni dei loro prodotti più costosi (tutti i set regalo e i prodotti singoli dai 70 euro in su - quindi quasi tutto fuorché i detergenti) che ti aiutano ad identificarne l'autenticità. Se ti è capitato di prendere prodotti di questi marchi in quella fascia di prezzo dai vari yesstyle e stylevana ecc e non avevano il codice QR sulla confezione, allora avresti ragione nel dubitare però, per adesso, non posso nè darti la certezza assoluta nè smentire.
I link coreani in descrizione invece sono tutti di rivenditori ufficiali in Corea quindi volendo si possono utilizzare per l'inoltro posta di cui parlavo.
Grazie sei stata molto esaustiva. Infatti avevo comprato un siero di whoo da stylevana e siccome dopo 3 mesi non avevo ricevuto ancora nulla ho contattato il servizio clienti e hanno subito provveduto a spedire l'ordine. All'arrivo del pacco però ho trovato non il siero ma tutto il set e senza il qr code. Avevo già intuito che fosse non originale ma adesso ne ho la certezza.
Is The History of Whoo Radiant White Ultimate Corrector or Hanbang ingredients safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Yes it doesn’t contain any ingredients that are considered dangerous for pregnancy or breastfeeding 😊
the Isoi serum seems to have alcohol really high up in ingredients list as well as rose oil? aren't those sensitizing ingredients?
Not all types of alcohol or essential oils are sensitising. The alcohol contained in the serum is a natural byproduct of the fermentation process used in the product, this naturally occurring alcohol is not known to be potentially irritating (unless someone is allergic to it, but that applies to any skincare ingredient 😅). The Rosa Damascena Oil is used for its soothing properties and like before, it's only sensitising if one is allergic to it. It's hard to make generalisations about sensitive skin because every individual has different triggers, but there are classes of essential oils that are more likely to cause irritation to sensitive skin and they’re mostly citrus oils. Other types of essential oils are not as irritating (again, unless someone is allergic to them) and can also provide benefits to sensitive skin such as essential oils with anti-inflammatory properties like Rosa Damascena here or Lavender Oil etc.
This is different from ingredients like ascorbic acid, retinoids, etc that should be introduced slowly because they can be sensitising even for individuals that don't have sensitive skin or any allergy. Hope it makes sense!
Also, Isoi commissioned multiple tests from different labs to confirm the serum was suitable for sensitive skin, and shared the unedited results on their website to reassure their customer base with sensitive skin. So unless a person has an allergy to a specific ingredient in the formula, it should be fine! 😊
Whats your take on the history of whoo intensive brightening concentrate ampoule
It's a great product to revive grey and lackluster skin, but personally I didn't notice any significant effect on uneven pigmentation. So it really depends what you're looking for! If it helps, I find that the Radiant White Essence works better as an overall treatment against hyperpigmentation. I was battled whether to include the essence or the spot treatment in this video, but the spot treatment is pure magic!
@@OdileMonodTheMonodist oh am gona definitely try the spot treatment
Hi Odile-this is not about hyperpigmentation. I heard about a Korean microneedling pen that is very good but I forgot the name..Are you familiar with any of these Korean pens? Thank you :)
Hello, do you apply the second serum at night or during the day?
Both!
Thank you! And thanks for the video :)
Perché non spedite in Italia grazie
Hi, I see this listed on the products, but was not mentioned on the video, could you comment on it? CNP Laboratory - Invisible Peeling Booster
It's a PHA exfoliant, it was shown during the first part about tips on how to reduce dark spots. It’s the only chemical exfoliant I use because my skin doesn't tolerate glycolic acid and the other "gentle" chemical exfoliants (mandelic acid etc) don't do much for me so PHA is my chemical exfoliant of choice and the CNP Laboratory's Invisible Peeling Booster is the best PHA exfoliant I used 😊
@@OdileMonodTheMonodist thank you so much for the reply, I was looking into it. I have PIP from acne from a broken barrier. Looking to see what's my best option. This is really helpful
Wow. If you to choose one to start, which would it be?
Unless you have sensitised skin, the Centellian24 ampoule is a great all-rounder that improves all types of hyperpigmentation. It's sold in boxes of 2 or 4 bottles, one bottle is 7ml and will last you for about a week if you use it every day, so if you want to get a month worth of treatment I recommend getting the 4 bottle set or 2 2 bottle sets
