I love watching you talk about skincare! Your voice and delivery is so soothing. And you're so in depth with the descriptions I feel like I can imagine the texture on my skin!
I agree. J and K skincare is so overwhelming, there's so much to choose from that I really appreciate a good reviewer whose not just being paid to say what the companies want them to say. I've bought loads of things on the strength of her recommendations and explanations of texture, ingredients and personal experience.
Aestura cream has saved my skin. I had a bad flare up due to diet and extreme dry skin, lasted about a month and a half. I was going nuts, my skin hated everything except water 😅 I found this cream and figured why not, it had good ingredients and in a few days my skin was almost healed. I'm almost done with the container, already purchased another. Nothing beats Korean skincare for me. I'm American but American skincare just doesnt play nice with my skin at all.
Exactly the same! At this point in my life I’m almost scared to let North American products besides a few select items, to touch my skin. I’ve had soooo many bad reactions irritations, pilling, etc and Asian creams and skincare come along and save my shitty skin. Nothing beats Asian skincare and the prices aren’t ridiculous either, formulations actually have a purpose and the textures and quality is far above. Our skincare in the US is sub standard and kind of behind the times. Like 2010
LOVE that aestura mist! 1% ceramide!!! It has even more barrier benefits for me than the cream skin! I can use it as a creamy toner or as a normal mist- doesnt leave me dehydrated! Their cream and water cream in that 365 line are wonderful too! have one of each in backup!
I have the Aestura mist and I had pimple coming in and it literally was gone by the time I got home from work. I had it on my list because Blackpink's makeup artist also recommended it and definitely doesn't fail.
Tina, I want to really thank you for showing us yourself(especially upclose) without any smoothing filters or anything else. Even though i've been watching your vids for quiet a while, I literally teared up while watching this video today. Recently my self esteem was low, i got so frustrated with my skin, and seeing you helped me remember that human are supposed to have pores, that it's normal to have pimples and blackheads and redness here and there. My skin is a normal human skin. Thank you so much, Tina, i love you
Don't be so hard on yourself sweetness! Yes we are all human and have our "imperfections" but honestly they are the best parts and make us unique and perfect in our own way 😌✨ Also I just don't have the time or skill to add filters etc haha - I edit in a smaller view and sometimes surprise myself rewatching it on how clearly you can see my pores 🤣 But hey it's the truth and if it helps people watching like you - I am all for it 💗💗💗
I love the Neogen micro essence just as much as you do and the first time I tried the serum I had the SAME REACTION TO IT AS YOU 😂‼️-- UNTIL--- I started using it in my nighttime routine in a layering sandwich process on retinol/retinal nights I still use the essence nearly everyday and now have learned to love ❤️ the benefits I see from this serum it brightens up my complexion and is one of few products that contains actual ascorbic acid that I can handle Oh and urs IS NOT BAD that is the consistency 😂
Cosrx galactomyces essence is quite underrated. It's my favorite alternative for SK II. For the prize it does help to give me instant plump effect and brighten my complexion overtime.
Sometimes I think toners should be in spray form so I can apply it evenly. Is there any way people/influencers can suggest this to brands 😅😅😅 It’s just efficient when it’s in spray form. It goes directly on intended areas, not on hands.
i've been using the Aestura cream mist as a toner, i.e. pump into hand then rub on face. it's way thicker than the Laneige. plumps and hydrates my skin like no other. can only use it at night, though. too slippery for day.
I have combo skin and i absolutely love the neogen serum. The texture is thick, but for me it doesn’t feel heavy at all. I also don’t feel like it’s sticky or tacky on the skin. My holy grail serum, makes my skin so soft and supple.
Omg I was also thinking of the Hada Labo brightening toner when you mentioned Ipsa, I saw the Ipsa toner on sale and got it for 50 AUD, it felt nice and was decently hydrating for the lightweight texture but I have to say I still like the Hada Labo one way more, the moist version of it is just so much more hydrating and feels more calming, brightening, and helped fade my red marks more, not to mention it’s much much cheaper too 😂
I was JUST talking about IPSA to another skincare creator the other day (and also found out they were under Shiseido at the same time🥲 I'm a fake J-beauty fan, I guess) I would love to see a video or a post comparing different types of this lotion/toner (ofc not challenging you to try this but would very much be grateful to have you examine their marketing and reviews😭) Also love the mention of how J-beauty approaches acne care! Licorice is definitely THE ingredient that puts so many products into the "quasi drug" category for acne care... I do think that it's still a very solid approach since otherwise those products tend to still focus on hydration aka rebalancing the skin and keeping the barrier happy while helping lighten the existing spots🤔 Does definitely take much longer than just zapping it all with BP.....But also doesn't wreak havoc as often lol
I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE ROVECTIN AMPOULE. They definitely needed to add that extra plastic bit in the mouth of the bottle that would scrape off the extra product, but I guess then it's not as sustainable. Sigh.
I heard that rovectin made its bottle like that without the plastic stopper for their Rovectin Clean line in order to minimise plastic waste! Having that info kind of made me appreciate it more and more willing to give the packaging a pass. Then I really enjoyed the serum (the green lha one in the same packaging) and definitely would repurchase.
I just bought an Aestura pack from the メガ割 sale! We’re going into Spring in Japan now so it’ll get warmer- but since I started using tretinoin 0.015% I definitely feel like my skin is much drier already from only 3 days of use 😭 So I’m looking forward to seeing how their products play with my skincare routine! Also girl I had the same reaction with the Laneige!
@@johnsskincarereviews Oooh! Looking forward to it getting here! I haven’t been able to get my hands on the Stratia? Liquid Gold so I’m really excited now 🥹🥹
I agree about the rovectin serum it is so annoying and messy to use I mean it isn't bad but I don't really reach for it either and it's my first rovectin product I have tried. The RNW ceramide plus serum packaging sucks with the dropper but I love it so much I don't care I still reach for it . The neogen serum broke me out .
I have the neogen serum. Mine’s not sticky at all but does feel siliconey ? Reminds me of some primers But it’s doing pretty well with other products i use (klairs toner and wellage real cica cream)
I can’t remember if you’ve reviewed the Dr Ceuracle kombucha tea essence? If so what were your thoughts about it/how it compares to the cream mist you mentioned here? Love your videos!🌸
I have used up 3 bottles of Ipsa Toner and I love it! It just works with any type of routine and with every products. It is just an easy product in that sense. Works with everything.
12:12 Not a petty reason at all! A very valid reason why I wouldnt buy something. I dont know if its just the bottle I got but the Numbuzin No.3 toner has a similar issue for me where the product somehow pools around the top of the bottle and I have to use my hands to get it off which doesn’t feel super hygienic. Am I the only one?
I'm currently using the Neogen Real Ferment Micro Serum and the texture also surprised me! Mine looks the same as yours, so I'm not sure if it was necessarily a bad batch. I have dry skin and going through a dry winter. I looove this serum! It feels very hydrating and leaves my skin super soft.
I've been eyeing the IPSA Toner for a while but can't make a purchase decision because I can't find a full Ingredient list on it. Does anyone know if it contains fragrance/does it smell like it's fragranced?
I agree. If Tina had a more gaunt face with higher cheekbones, she'd remind me so much of Hikari Mori. The face shape is different but that bright smile and gorgeous eye shape is so similar.
Oooo. This video was uploaded at the perfect time! I'm leaving Japan in a few days and was wondering if there was anything I should buy before I go. Might check out the ipsa toner now...🤭
i have the cosrx galactomyces toner and ive tried the sk-II essence and honestly.... i notice better results with the ski-II. i really don't know why but the the cosrx one just doesn't seem to do anything for my skin, plus the ski-II is a nice watery texture while the cosrx one tends to pill for me
Bit late, but I have the Rovectin Biome ampoule and simply put the plastic insert from an empty serum bottle in it to fix the issue 🙃 (I think it was the Mary & May peptide but any similar size one will do). They've recently repackaged it anyway so I guess it will be a non issue soon. It is quite a lovely serum apart from that small packaging flaw.
The Rovectin Ampoule is one of my holy grails! Very hydrating. Agree the packaging is annoying, they've done it to avoid the extra plastic. I add one from another product which isn't the best idea but I do love the serum enough to put up with the annoyance.
Neogen serum is not that moving but can be used at nights at least, for those hate the littlest amount of stickiness, makes them far too disturbed (ultimate combo here). I like this range from neogen.
Have the same problem with my rovectin clean ampoule (the green bottle)...I've been digging out the plastic rings off other ampoule bottles once finished and plug into bottles that don't come with the ring. Works like magic!
Great review 💜 Rovectin have said that they don’t use the plastic stopper in their bottles for sustainability reasons, so the bottle can directly go into the recycling
actually like the neogen serum, but only when i pair it with acwell licorice toner. for some reason that combination seems to work really well for my skin
Hello, it is very weird, because I do have combination/oily skin type and I really enjoy the Neogen serum (and it doesn’t feel heavy at all for me). Maybe something wrong with yours. But to be honest, I have the same situation with by Wishtrend pro-biome balance cream,everyone is loving it, but I didn’t 😕
Re Cosrx Galactomyces Toner: 😅 I really liked this one! It was my first ever Galactomyces product that I bought after hearing abt the SK-II essence‘s over the top marketing and what not. Have since also tried the one by secret key. Cosrx has imo a better texture as it is not as thin… I’d say it lies between a typical watery toner and the Hada Labo dark blue premium toner). Even though the Secret Key has a similar price at DOUBLE the product, I used it up much faster than the Cosrx toner. Maybe that is because the thicker Cosrx product allowed for more precise usage with the pump head. I feel like the Cosrx calmed my skin better than the Secret Key and so because I had a longer use out of the Cosrx product despite it being smaller in size, I actually prefer and recommend it! I think I may try one or two other Galactomyces products in the same price range like the Some By Mi or so but the Cosrx toner might just take the crown after all! (Also please Tina Id Love for you to make a Galactomyces Toner Comparison video that includes ones by SK-II, Time Revolution, Cosrx, Secret Key, Some By Mi and maybe others that I don’t know of 😌)
I used very little amount of Someby mi, it seems nice overall but very tiny bit of stickiness put me off, the only way I can use is if I use it before sleep with a thick layer of my amazing mizon snail all repair, to feel not tacky, is Cosrx one like that in terms of stickiness after i wonder?
Hi Tina! Love all your videos❤️❤️Fellow Melbournian here! I usually get my products off Lila beauty - and they seem to have really great pricing wondering what your thoughts are/are they legit? Thank you!!
I order via Lila. They're my favourite Aussie retailer. The prices are decent with lots of sales too. The customer service is fantastic too. Definitely genuine. I've ised Lila for over a year now. Always fast shipping too!
About moody lenses, did someone here has light colored eyes and tested their brown lenses? I have green/grey eyes and I wish I could wear brown lenses without it looking weird.
I’ve not tried Moody lenses, but I have green eyes and LOVED brown lenses. They made my small eyes look bigger and looked better with my hair color, IMO.
@@ambergerhelper7852 Ahhh Thank you for the information :) I understand it doesnt look weird at all (since they are made firstly for people having dark eyes.)
I truly wonder how people who enjoy the Laneige Cream Skin Refiner use it. I had the exact same issue - my skin is dry but I really don't know where to put it in my routine. It's not occlusive enough to use it as a moisturizer, as my last layer, but it also doesn't allow me to layer much on top. Eventually I just used it up on my body where I feel like it sank in a bit better and I could put a body lotion on top. Maybe it works well for more minimalist routines, but not for us layering fans.
Exactly same it just feels like oh nicely going to sink in, but then when finished applying oh thin but sticky film sitting on the face, hence I am not convinced that will moistures any type of skin, such a miss product.
Public service announcement for all prescription lens wearers (especially those with astigmatism): Before you order expensive coloured prescription lenses PLEASE PLEASE study how your regular lenses sit on your eyeballs; you may see that the circle of the lens does not sit perfectly over your iris, with parts of the lens perhaps 'hanging' lower under one eye or higher on one etc. What do you think will happen when you colourise such lopsided (yet extremely comfortable) lenses? Spoiler alert: you'll suddenly have eyes that look like they're pointing in two different directions. The lenses rotate until they sit perfectly on the shape of your individual eye but sadly, this rotation affects how the coloured circle sits on the eye. It's an enormous gamble to order bespoke or just expensive prescription lenses for astigmatism, or indeed, if you haven't sat in front of a mirror in bright light to analyse how your lenses sit. I envy anybody who can have fun with coloured prescription lenses. Tina can wear anything and look gorgeous, lucky thing. 🤩👁
i love the new opera singing intro❤❤❤❤i have also been waiting agesssss and finally you tried IPSAAAAA❤❤❤❤marvelous gonna get it!!! moody is soo cute🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 your new look with the background and hair and lenses and guess what dearest you are sooo much more fairer!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ muackssss thank you so much again for the japanese beauty reviews❤❤❤❤ love love love miss you so much sweetie ❤❤❤❤
I'm so grateful for your videos, they're so fun to watch. I'm going to Japan soon and have been chewing through most of your recent videos lately to compile a shopping list lol IPSA was something I was interested in and I'm glad you mentioned licorice root, it's something I'm actively avoiding after healing from TSW (steroid withdrawal) and licorice root affects cortisol levels, albeit I'm sure it's barely noticeble in skincare but still gotta be careful. :( Please keep providing these sorts of info! It's really valuable :)
I'm so over the dropper bottle trend. I don't enjoy dropper bottles for any product let alone something as thick as that Rovectin serum. So hating packaging is def fair critisism in my book. 😃
I watch this Japanese RUclipsr かずのすけ who compares that ipsa toner to drugstore ones like the Hada Labo one, where a lot of the cost is into that packaging, but the ingredients are pretty average and you can get the same benefits from the hada labo premium whitening toner. I love the Aestura cream mist, I've used a few of them as it's like laneige but lighter
o so happy that you also doesn't like the cream skin 😂 i thought is only me thinking that too sticky and heavy. For milky toner, i love the climax creamy toner and torriden booster. way better than the laneigne hahaa
I've had the same issue with my Rovectin LHA serum, the serum is so thick that the dropper doesn't work properly and the only way to get the product on my skin/hand is to use the dropper like a doe-foot applicator which obvs isn't very hygenic. Love the Aestura moisturiser, would love to try the mist!
I have same problem with Rovectin Lha Ampoule. Nice product, but don’t really like to use because of the packaging. It just needs at least a stopper on the bottle. The ampoule is too gelatinous, gloopy for a drop bottle. But great product tho. Such a shame
Thanks for reviewing the IPSA time reset aqua. I have a jumbo size from Narita airport and can't wait to crack it open after I'm done with the HL shirojyun.
I love watching you talk about skincare! Your voice and delivery is so soothing. And you're so in depth with the descriptions I feel like I can imagine the texture on my skin!

So true. Korean skincare is just on another level. 👌
The mist is the only moisturising product I can use! I agree 100% I am american too hope this brand can become a staple here!
Same. Same along with Murad’s new cellular hydration cream.

I love Aestura mist. When I felt like don’t want to wear any skincare i just spray this to my face. Already bought the 2nd bottle.

(Also please Tina Id Love for you to make a Galactomyces Toner Comparison video that includes ones by SK-II, Time Revolution, Cosrx, Secret Key, Some By Mi and maybe others that I don’t know of 😌)
I used very little amount of Someby mi, it seems nice overall but very tiny bit of stickiness put me off, the only way I can use is if I use it before sleep with a thick layer of my amazing mizon snail all repair, to feel not tacky, is Cosrx one like that in terms of stickiness after i wonder?
Hi Tina! Love all your videos❤️❤️Fellow Melbournian here! I usually get my products off Lila beauty - and they seem to have really great pricing wondering what your thoughts are/are they legit? Thank you!!
I order via Lila. They're my favourite Aussie retailer. The prices are decent with lots of sales too. The customer service is fantastic too. Definitely genuine. I've ised Lila for over a year now. Always fast shipping too!
@@leighwalters8601 thank you!!
About moody lenses, did someone here has light colored eyes and tested their brown lenses? I have green/grey eyes and I wish I could wear brown lenses without it looking weird.
I’ve not tried Moody lenses, but I have green eyes and LOVED brown lenses. They made my small eyes look bigger and looked better with my hair color, IMO.
@@ambergerhelper7852 Ahhh Thank you for the information :) I understand it doesnt look weird at all (since they are made firstly for people having dark eyes.)
Is the time reset aqua bottle is glass?
japanese products are so underrateddd 👁👄👁
I truly wonder how people who enjoy the Laneige Cream Skin Refiner use it. I had the exact same issue - my skin is dry but I really don't know where to put it in my routine. It's not occlusive enough to use it as a moisturizer, as my last layer, but it also doesn't allow me to layer much on top. Eventually I just used it up on my body where I feel like it sank in a bit better and I could put a body lotion on top. Maybe it works well for more minimalist routines, but not for us layering fans.
I use it OVER my moisturizer at night; since it’s oily, I use it to seal everything in. I don’t think I could use it under sunscreen or makeup.
Exactly same it just feels like oh nicely going to sink in, but then when finished applying oh thin but sticky film sitting on the face, hence I am not convinced that will moistures any type of skin, such a miss product.
Y'all how is she consistently so hot 😩 (respectfully)
oh stahpppppp 🥴🥴🥴
I hear they took out the arbutin in the new formulation of shiryujin 😢
They need. Arbutin has kept my sunspots faded for years. I need a new toner. 😬
Public service announcement for all prescription lens wearers (especially those with astigmatism):
Before you order expensive coloured prescription lenses PLEASE PLEASE study how your regular lenses sit on your eyeballs; you may see that the circle of the lens does not sit perfectly over your iris, with parts of the lens perhaps 'hanging' lower under one eye or higher on one etc. What do you think will happen when you colourise such lopsided (yet extremely comfortable) lenses? Spoiler alert: you'll suddenly have eyes that look like they're pointing in two different directions. The lenses rotate until they sit perfectly on the shape of your individual eye but sadly, this rotation affects how the coloured circle sits on the eye. It's an enormous gamble to order bespoke or just expensive prescription lenses for astigmatism, or indeed, if you haven't sat in front of a mirror in bright light to analyse how your lenses sit. I envy anybody who can have fun with coloured prescription lenses. Tina can wear anything and look gorgeous, lucky thing. 🤩👁
Hehe first
bought the ipsa essence, very disappointed by the cheap plastic bottle. I think it should have been mentioned. I would have never bought it if I knew.
i love the new opera singing intro❤❤❤❤i have also been waiting agesssss and finally you tried IPSAAAAA❤❤❤❤marvelous gonna get it!!! moody is soo cute🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 your new look with the background and hair and lenses and guess what dearest you are sooo much more fairer!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ muackssss thank you so much again for the japanese beauty reviews❤❤❤❤ love love love miss you so much sweetie ❤❤❤❤
I'm so grateful for your videos, they're so fun to watch. I'm going to Japan soon and have been chewing through most of your recent videos lately to compile a shopping list lol
IPSA was something I was interested in and I'm glad you mentioned licorice root, it's something I'm actively avoiding after healing from TSW (steroid withdrawal) and licorice root affects cortisol levels, albeit I'm sure it's barely noticeble in skincare but still gotta be careful. :( Please keep providing these sorts of info! It's really valuable :)
Will You Please Do a video comparing the HadaLabo versus SK II？
I'm so over the dropper bottle trend. I don't enjoy dropper bottles for any product let alone something as thick as that Rovectin serum. So hating packaging is def fair critisism in my book. 😃
I watch this Japanese RUclipsr かずのすけ who compares that ipsa toner to drugstore ones like the Hada Labo one, where a lot of the cost is into that packaging, but the ingredients are pretty average and you can get the same benefits from the hada labo premium whitening toner. I love the Aestura cream mist, I've used a few of them as it's like laneige but lighter
It's a shame about that IPSA product, the packaging is gorgeous!!
o so happy that you also doesn't like the cream skin 😂 i thought is only me thinking that too sticky and heavy. For milky toner, i love the climax creamy toner and torriden booster. way better than the laneigne hahaa
Hi Tina I was wondering if you could review the nacific fresh herb origin serum that is advertised by stray kids
U know if sometime m not relating still watch you and ur voice sounds honest please be same like this always 👀🐥🐥
Is the neogen essence better than numbuzin n.3 toner? Since both have feemented ingredients I'm trying to igure out which one to purchase
I've had the same issue with my Rovectin LHA serum, the serum is so thick that the dropper doesn't work properly and the only way to get the product on my skin/hand is to use the dropper like a doe-foot applicator which obvs isn't very hygenic. Love the Aestura moisturiser, would love to try the mist!
Question, does the IPSA bottle cap come off so you could reuse the bottle?
A new subscriber from India🇮🇳 i just love ur skin and the recommendations ♥
Aren't you afraid of eye infections or accidental damage? At least I am.
Can you also do which vitamin c serum is best for sensitive and dry skin?
Second
I love your nails!!! Are they gel stickers? If so, what brand? Your skin is glowing ❤
Hi, Tina. Can I just say, You look so good with your hair color and lenses ❤👌
Which one do you prefer? The SKII or the IPSA?
Your hair, skin and makeup un this video 😍😍😍 Beautiful!!
I was just watching ur old videos 🩷✨️
Loveeee how you look today 😍
Woww! Yeah your man has soul stealers 👀
Woww! Yeah your man has soul stealers 👀
Thirddd lol I also make videos if y’all are interested
I have same problem with Rovectin Lha Ampoule. Nice product, but don’t really like to use because of the packaging. It just needs at least a stopper on the bottle. The ampoule is too gelatinous, gloopy for a drop bottle. But great product tho. Such a shame
I hope they will change the packaging.
i just found your channel and i love it here 🥰
I thought I was the only who felt that way with Laniege 😅
Woah those contacts are so cool!
Love your eyes❤. So beautiful
Thanks for reviewing the IPSA time reset aqua. I have a jumbo size from Narita airport and can't wait to crack it open after I'm done with the HL shirojyun.
How was it؟
The Ipsa is so expensive wtf lol
🌸loving the thumbnail 💅🏽💗🔥🔥🔥☺️
Hey, could you review Biore UV 2023 version?
I am planning to grab it when I go to Japan in a couple weeks!
