    I use Korean skincare so I've tried mostly various Korean vitamin Cs. I liked Torriden the best and then Celimax. I also like Benton, Goodal, Make Prem, Numbuzin 5, Isntree, Neogen and the Japanese Melano CC premium.
    I tried Purito and Wishtrend but those were too strong, Varihope but it smelled bad and was only a small volume, and the Beauty of Joseon but that was too weak and did nothing. Benton is now in an airless pump too, and Melano CC also has good airtight packaging too
    Out of those western ones I just used that Naturium one, and also some others like face theory but Korean skincare takes the cake for me. I find Korean ones don't irritate me and usually have other brightening ingredients good for for asian/SOC skin. Would love to see you cover Korean vitamin Cs one day!

      A couple of reasons. Men get razor bumps when shaving. We need some products that will help minimize the soars.
      Men have different hair types than women. It would be great to incorporate a hair moisturizer for Men of color. Those two along would do wonders for Men.

      @rupunzel5972 2 месяца назад +2

      @reenerneener I think it's only black people who get them, not all skin of colour. Regardless, there's nothing to be done about them because dermatology hasn't cared to study cosmetic things that only affects black people. There is no prevention; there is no cure. You're either lucky or unlucky. If you're both rich and brave enough, you can try getting them cut out, but then you risk hyperpigmentation, and they can just come back anyway. I learnt these depressing facts from Dr Stephens and Dr Dray here on RUclips.
