Omg, thank you for this video! When you started talking about the PKY essence toner leaving you parched I was so glad to hear I wasn't alone! I literally gave up on mine after layering other toners on top or using more layers with no luck. But today I switched the order and used it as an essence and OMG!!!!! IM A BELIEVER!! It never even occured to me to try it after a toner. I always used it first right after cleansing. I'm so glad I found your channel! Subscribed!!
My PURITO Essence, while it was ok, didn't WOW me. My MISSHA FTE I like, but - meh. I got the brilliant idea to mix them both into the same container 50/50, and now I've FINALLY got the PERFECT thickness and feel, and actually like to use it.
This is so informative thank you!! I’ve been wanting to try the Pyunkang Yul essence toner but based on reviews about the dehydration people felt, I have been pushing it back. But now I realize these people may have just been using it wrong! Your description of your experience was so insightful ☺️
You are so adorable! And yes so true, almost 95% of the supposed holy grails are always mediocre to me? So far, the only products that actually work for me is by Liah Yoo. After I finish some of my products I really want to try out some of your recommendations! I've been watching you for a while now but still haven't got to buy some of your faves yet! And the cream skin refiner is definitely a product I have turned my head around on, initially it just seem tacky and subpar but I realized how oddly nourishing and restorative it was (my skin looked better and better as the day went on) so I've come around on it! I want to buy another bottle but I really wanna try something else too, any products like it?
I made the same switch with the in shower masks. I’ll have to look at the inci list for the Purito mask 😷 looks good as long as no Shea butter in it. Have a great week Kelly 🥂
I'm late to the party, but I stumbled upon this video while trying to make up my mind up about purchasing the CosRx rice sleeping pack and the Laneige Cica sleeping pack, and your review really helped me with both! New subscriber! 💙
Im so glad I found your channel. I love it. I have bought some of your recommendations because I fuuuuuu**** up my skin barrier. Thank you for being so honest with your updates 💜
Kelly Driscoll for som reason mine never gets smaller only bigger 😂😳😭 I don't know what I'm talking about in the above comment, but someone tried to get me to use their own reward code.
thanks for reflecting on the Purito essence! I wanted to try it for so long but after this will go for Missha first treatment essence. Missha looks like a more "intense" set of ingredients.
I bought the Pyanjung toner because of your recommendation and it was ok, it did not amaze me but tonight I will use it as an essence. Can't wait to try it! I fell the same about the Cosrx sleeping mask, I use it because I have it and I don't own other sleeping masks but I will not repurchase it, it feels quite heavy on my oily skin.
Agree with pyunkang yul.... I use it now and i really feel that my skin so dehydrated eventough it's not too bad. It's not increase sensivity only feels tug (you know what i mean). I'm not stopping use it because i still try to get the right amount from this product. However, really mind blowing for your tips. Definitely will try in the essence step. Wish me luck!!!!!
Love the video! I got the pky essence. I haven’t tried it yet but it’s up next I’m the list. Would you consider doing a video of your top first treatment Essences and what benefits each has? I can’t afford to buy them all right now So would be good to hear what you like about each one? Thanks kelly!
I love the cosrx rice mask 😆 although it’s a “sleeping pack,” I use it as a moisturizer at night on my super dehydrated days; or when I use benzoyl peroxide since that dries up my skin lol. But I definitely want to try the purito one! 😍
Babita Dalal Well then you would have to check on the rice mask’s ingredients, and see if it contains Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid). Vitamin C is known for fading dark pigmentation/ hyperpigmentation (acne scars are usually darker colour than normal skin tone). Keep in mind that fading takes time, and sometimes fade doesn’t mean fully remove the scar. The dark colour of my many acne scars have faded since I have been using vitamin C serum & rose-hip oil before light moisturiser & sunscreen in my day time routine for almost 2 years.
Babita Dalal My pleasure, many of us struggle with acne and acne scars. It’s nice to be able to help each other out regarding skin care. There are many skin care professionals and trusted people out there that we can watch on RUclips, examples: Dr. Dray, Liah Yoo, Hyram, James Welsh etc... They have been helping me to understand more about the ingredients and science behind those ingredients that are used in many skin care products. 🙂
I know it's an old video, but was looking into the purito 94 essence & just wanted to compliment your look here. You look great! Rocking those red lips!
I’m glad to hear you update us on these products. I do LOVE the Cosrx ultimate nourishing rice mask so much, I use it everyday. 💜 I didn’t try out the Purito because of the coconut oil that’s pretty high up on the list and I was so bummed out 😞 I am still wanting to try the Pkyung kangyul essence too 🥰🥰🥰
Ginger Badjie yes I was so sad but I know that if it’s possible that I could clog pores it probably will. I have sensitive acne prone skin so I don’t wanna chance it lol 😳
November yes I actually didn’t know and I know that if Kelly likes it then it’s essential oil free which is a must for me, and it’s artificial fragrance free, but when I looked at the ingredients coconut oil is like the fourth or fifth ingredient on there and that’s high up 😞
Toner texture is more thiner its like water which helps to balance ph level n remove impurities and essence is bit thicker than toner. It helps to prep the skin for rest of ur routine.
It's both, you don't have to use it twice or anything. It's hard to determine what makes a toner, but it is as one said, something to balance the skin pH. You generally apply things in order of consistency, and this is very light so it goes on after cleansing, and before serums. If you're ever not sure, use the order of consistency = Thinnest to thickest. This is a great toner if you're going to be using active ingredients in your routine and don't want a stripping toner with an acid like most have. I think what the video Creator meant (I just heard her say that part) I think she puts something hydrating on before using it. Because it goes cleansing.. tone.. essence.. serum.. moisturizer. So I assume she had something in between. I think if you use a good moisturizer you'll be okay. :)
I have been using the Cosrx Rice sleeping mask for a shower mask when I'm very dry and dehydrated. It's not cost effective for every day, but there are some days after Retin-A that my skin really appreciates it. I really love this product because it's bland and boring! My sensitized skin needs bland! LOL
You’re so right! There were lots of products that I loved in the beginning and now it’s either I’m avoiding them coz of the fragrance/essential oils situation or they are not exciting me anymore... but I do like a heavier/greasy moisturizer at night! Can you please recommend a few for me? Thank you ❤️
Can you do a video ranking products- like hydrating , brightening, acne etc? With my budget I can really only consider buying the "remarkable" products.
I really liked the Cosrx rice mask, it was one of my favourite K-Beauty products and really hydrated my skin. I bought the honey one to try out next to see which is better. I've used th Etude House collagen sleeping pack which sucked, it was dehydrating and left my skin parched dry, I had to use facial oil on top of it.
Such a great vid. I'm also surprised about your thoughts on the Pyunakang Yul ET because it has worked wonders on my skin though that's skincare, right? (:
I agree on the CosRx Rice Sleeping Mask ... it just doesn't seem to do much for me. It feels like a nice moisturizer, but I felt as a "sleeping mask" it should do something special? If that makes sense. I'll use it during the day or something till it's gone. 🤷🏻♀️
My face is so dry from heating that I’d actually wanna douse my face in oil. I think I’ll try a sample of the cica mask from Sephora .A few days ago I was ready to put Vaseline on my face.
The jury is still out for me with Pyunkang Yul, I am using the Moisture Ampule and intensive cream. It’s heavy on the skin and my skim was reactive. Have given it a few months and gone back to try. I use the Lanaige Water Mask. I haven’t seen any benefit so unlikely I will purchase again, but I do enjoy the way it feels.
I don't like the cosrx rice sleeping mask anymore either, I was excited to use it but I felt like it's too light, it lacks the moisture that I need for a sleeping mask. That's why I started using it as an afternoon cream but then, it irritated my eyes. So, nowadays I only use it as a neck cream. I have repurchased twice because I didn't want to give up, but now I have decided to try other products.
Your lip color is lovely. What is it? Speaking of essential oils - could you do an eye cream update? I think all of the eye creams in your eye cream video had EOs. I think that video was made before you did away with EOs in your skincare. I love your videos. Thank you 🙏
Unrelated to this video, but I purchased the Purito Comfy Water Sun Block from Yesstyle and it arrived yesterday but they sent me the old formula with essential oils in it despite advertising as essential oil free
I am new to your channel and am happy to have found you. I am looking for highly moisturizing products for the eye area. Also, can you recommend any K beauty subscription boxes?
The Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner was kinda "meh" for me. I first tried it in the summer and wasn't impressed. The toner wasn't bad, but it really wasn't good either. Since I had a bunch of other toners that I liked better, it sat in the shelf for a while. I tried Earth’s Recipe Energy Boosting Toner around the same time. Same deal with the EBT; it wasn't bad but it also really didn't have a place in my routine where it did something noticeably good for my skin. I recently re-visited both toners to see if the winter weather would make a difference in how they performed on my face. After about a week of using the PY, my skin was feeling dry and started to seem very thin. The PY just doesn't have the oomph to keep my skin hydrated. Thank you for the info that it can also be used as an essence! I'll give that a try. The re-evaluation of the Earth’s Recipe Energy Boosting Toner is still "meh" and I've relegated it to an after shower body hydration step. Have you ever used any of the Hyggee toners? I loved the Balance One Step Facial Essence when I first tried it over the summer. My skin was drinking it down and definitely felt better as I used it, yet it seemed that once I reached a certain point in the healing process, the toner was just too much. It had gradually stopped being effective and finally it wouldn't sink into my skin at all. I stopped using it for a few months and decided to revisit it now that the weather is colder. It still won't sink in on my face and its rather uncomfortable to wear. This has also been relegated to an after shower body hydration step (where my skin does actually absorb it).
I just added pirito essence on my Yesstyle basket but now I changed my mind, thanks to you:) . Kelly what would you recommend to me a cost effective essence, I am very confused because there are loads of it🙃 ( apart from Pyukang Yul, used it and did not like it) I have an combination skin . Thank you,
Lol... well I'm glad I got the Purito night creme, but I also got the essence so hope I find it more beneficial than you did. I hate the greasy feeling of moisturizers...I have 6 cats, talk about hair attraction...a greasy face will keep you up with that ticking sensation all night, ugh! I have found with some I just need to pair it up with different actives and or use less. I also find waiting until serums have fully absorbed and dried down makes a difference. I have 49 year old neglected skin... so it's a real challenge between dry and my "old" young combo skin. I live in NM so the climate has really dictated my 'heavy' factor for products. It's always dry, but when winter's are cold... it's desert dry. Yet at the edges around my neck and hairline it can still just either not absorb moisture or is just still young and oily... not only is everyone's face different it also changes on everyone on a dime. Environment really effects the products we buy! Thanks again for another great vid! Smiles and blessings... P.S. could you tell me how you keep all the ingedients in your products and their PHs straight, and how you remember when it's all in Japanese or Korean... what the product is for. I'm having a heck of a time with that. Thanks!
I had the exact same situation with the rice mask from cosrx! I stared mixing in some serums and actives and since then I love it!! Just a little advice so you can use it up and don’t have to waste it!
Kelly Driscoll That’s really clever as well, i use up my sunscreens with fragrance as a hand cream throughout the day! I think especially with “boring” formulas and creams it’s nice to give it your own kick by adding in some actives! I sometimes mix in the HA from the ordinary which makes the consistency of the cream much lighter!
For me 2019 was the year I started tretinoin and so my whole regime had to change. Previously I had tolerated essential oils well (though I struggled with artificial fragrance for many years), despite being eczema prone and sensitive/dry. The addition of acids and tretinoin to my routine, means I have to be fragrance free or my skin freaks out. Also I swapped from using brands like the ordinary for active ingredients, to Korean beauty as they were more sophisticated formulations/textures without a hugely high price point. Brands I previously loved eg elemis have now disappeared from my routine and have been replaced by Klairs, Puritto, Pyunkang Yul, Benton etc. I have really dry/dehydrated skin and love the suppleness/moisture that layering gives my skin and essences have been a revelation. i always liked hydrating toners under serums/oils, but adding in more layers of toners/essences has really helped my hydration levels. Your channel has been very useful as your recommendations are targeted at dry/dehydrated/sensitive skin and are fragrance free (most youtubers talk about how fabulous something smells). My skin is drier than yours - I'm older, have eczema, my skin doesn't produce any oil anymore and is menopausal, but at least most of the items are suitable for me. I may need more layers or a richer cream/sleeping mask (I don't mind if something used at night is a little greasy) or may need to add a layer of an oil, but that's not a problem and easily accomplished. My makeup needs are actually somewhat similar - I don't need too much coverage and prefer a lighter weight glowy look. Best wishes.
Tret changes everything, doesn't it? Really glad to have helped you out with my videos! The fragrance/EO issue is always challenging at first but luckily we still have lots of products to choose from!
That was the exact same thing for me, the only difference is that I have oily/combo skin I used the ordinary a loooot but they lack some elegance in their formulations so i stopped reaching for the big majority of their stuff.
Loraine Mcgillivray Same! I use Curology Retin-A and I was sensitive to start with! Even some fragrance free products irritate me. But I have found some good ones thanks to Kelly (and James Welsh!)
@@bcoral8101 I switch between different ones depending on ingredients and time of year. For the winter I'm using Neogen dermatology first essence, T'iam vita b5 toner and Pyunkang Yul essence. In the summer I used Missha TR first essence, sukoyaka suhada urea lotion and hada labo premium. Hyaluronic acid works better for me in Summer. Hope that helps.
Babita Dalal, personally, it has to do with the weight of the product on my face, & how my skin feels in the morning. For mine, the honey mask makes my skin soft, the rice mask just makes it seem coated.
I'm sorry if this is a silly question but I missed where you actually explained how you used Pyunkang Yul essence toner as an essence and not a toner? Is it just that you didn't use a cotton round? What made you go from hating it to loving in it terms of the order and how you used it? I hope that makes sense. Thanks! ❤️
I just need that non greasy moisturizers or products video. I live in Africa and lately i've noticed that not only the skin on my face is dry but she's also sweat prone ( obviously the temperature doesn't help but still ... ) I don't know if that sweat part is coming from one of the components of my routine or if its just my skin 🙄 But i really need those non greasy products recommendations for my next yesstyle order. Xoxo 😘
Hi Kelly I really love ur video and honest recommendations and trying to build my Skincare replacing products one by one ... thanks ❤️u. I would like to request u to also share body and hair care products as they are an also v impt and waiting for ur videos plz make a video on both .. waiting for it
Totally relate with the Laneige cica sleeping mask. It's the first sleeping mask I ever bought and sadly, Im quite disappointed :( Whenever I apply this, my face becomes more sweaty and it just feels like my face can't breath. Totally wouldnt recommend this for an oily face living in a tropical country. I bought the full size and now I don't know what to do with it :(
You guysss i need help, I'm thinking about buying the some by mi Snail Truecica Miracle Repair Starter Kit for my acne prone, combination skin. what do you guys think of the brand??
Hey i recently started following your videos nd i love ur honesty.. After you explain i realize every point u said was so true. I want to ask you, What do u do when u buy a product and then u find out that it doesn't suit ur needs well, do u use it up cz u dnt want to waste money? Am talkng abt expensive product.
I must say that I also prefer the honey mask to the rice one. Tried both but can't love the second. Having a little of a hard time liking the soon Jung 2x barrier relief cream, I want to love it but it seems to just make my acne come full force (hormonal acne). The buffet from the ordinary... I can't put my finger on it but I can't use it more than on my forehead 🤷🏻♀️ now I heard vit. C topically makes more bad than good so I'm struggling to use my vit. C products.
@@KellyDriscoll I won't say the buffet is a bad product because I do see smoothing of fine lines with it but my skin does react to it specially on my neck, small bumps apear and I've tried it in different occasions and could clearly see that was the buffet.
Do you recommend any multi use products like a toner eesence which would do the work and so like that.. the world is talking about minimalising skin care routine and I don't see many talking about it
I haven't tried any 2-in-1 product that have impressed me, tbh! I'm not against minimizing the routine, though, more is not always more! The key is finding the powerful products that can do double duty!
Hi Kelly! Love this video. Many people never do a follow up and talk about how they're liking a product or incorporating it. I'm looking for a product like a mask or something that I could wear in the shower to reduce transepidermal water loss. I have eczema, so this is a huge problem for me. Any suggestions? Thank you ❤️
If you cant finish a product because you feel it does nothing to your skin in comparison to others, use it on your body!! and that way you don't waste it!
It's not the same as essential oils, extracts are less concentrated! Unless you have a specific sensitivity to tea tree itself you're probably not going to experience a problem.
Hmm wish you could elaborate a bit more on pyunkang yul and why do you think the order changed it for you.To be honest so far I've seen essences and hydrating toners as somethingg let's say interchangable (even tho I know that essences tend to have fermented inredients in them unlike some toners) to mainly bust that hydration before putting moisturizer to seal all that in. So now I am kind of confused. Honestly I am slowly building my skincare and having all the basics I was going to purchase toner or either an essence...if using one more product before pyungkang yul is let's say recommended i think i will in the end skip it
It has to do with texture and my skin's needs. Since PKY is a thick almost gel-like texture it can't absorb as deep as a thinner runnier texture. I have high hydration needs so a thinner textured toner needs to go first and the thicker texture of PKY creates more of a sealing process.
I just use straight honey on my face in the shower!(the thicker raw ones) its good for skin and hair so it's okay if it gets in your hair... you just rinse it off at the end when rinsing out conditioner
The PKY Essence Toner leaves my face red every time I have tried to use it. I used it for a full week at first thinking it was going to be all right, but I don't want to use something that leaves me red as that cannot be good for me. I don't understand it at all, as everyone with sensitive, dry, messed up skin all talk about it being soothing and how it saved their skin. It has been sitting around now for over a year in its pretty blue bottle, mostly full, being useless to me.
It dose something to me too. Mini breakouts on my cheeks or something. I used for a few weeks and my skin got worse. As soon as I stopped things got better😭 wish it was as easy to return as ulta. I was using it as an essence from the start.
@@kittycat8222 Yup, I couldn't return mine either, and I can't give it to my sister or mom, because I'm afraid they will have the same sensitivity reaction.
When my skin barrier was damaged I did it every time I took a shower or bath. Now I do it 1x a week or when my skin is feeling extra dry or dehydrated.
Paula’s Choice Ingredient Dictionary says there’s no scientific evidence that mugwort is good for the skin. Just because it’s been used since ancient times does _not_ lend it credibility. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on this, since you’re a fan of mugwort.
Omg, thank you for this video! When you started talking about the PKY essence toner leaving you parched I was so glad to hear I wasn't alone! I literally gave up on mine after layering other toners on top or using more layers with no luck. But today I switched the order and used it as an essence and OMG!!!!! IM A BELIEVER!!

Hi Kelly! Can you make a video of your most favorite toners & essences from before even until now? Your “remarkable” toners & essences. 😊
Kelly! Have you tried the Then I Met You toner and essence? Would be nice to hear your thoughts on that brand!
Use the purito essence on you body before it goes off Kelly dear, xoxox mili
I’m glad to hear you update us on these products. I do LOVE the Cosrx ultimate nourishing rice mask so much, I use it everyday. 💜 I didn’t try out the Purito because of the coconut oil that’s pretty high up on the list and I was so bummed out 😞 I am still wanting to try the Pkyung kangyul essence too 🥰🥰🥰
PKY is definitely worth a try, especially since it's such a minimal and gentle product!👍
Jennifer Maldonado that coconut 🌴 oil is a deal breaker for me too. 😳
What! Purito one has coconut oil on it?! Like seriously i was gonna buy it. Thank God i saw your comment 🤦♀
Ginger Badjie yes I was so sad but I know that if it’s possible that I could clog pores it probably will. I have sensitive acne prone skin so I don’t wanna chance it lol 😳

Could you explain the difference between using Pyunkang as a toner OR essence? Thanks
Looking for the answer to this as well, but I would guess to use a toner first and then put essence afterwards... More lije a booster thing?
Toner texture is more thiner its like water which helps to balance ph level n remove impurities and essence is bit thicker than toner. It helps to prep the skin for rest of ur routine.
It's both, you don't have to use it twice or anything. It's hard to determine what makes a toner, but it is as one said, something to balance the skin pH.

Does it help to reduce acne scars?
The cica mask made my skin really greasy too! Glad you said it
You’re so right! There were lots of products that I loved in the beginning and now it’s either I’m avoiding them coz of the fragrance/essential oils situation or they are not exciting me anymore... but I do like a heavier/greasy moisturizer at night! Can you please recommend a few for me? Thank you ❤️
You should watch no bs beauty world series of moisturisers!
I like the cosrx ultimate rice spa mask but i want to switch to the propolis mask because it is fungal acne safe and the texture looks so delicious
Can you do a video ranking products- like hydrating , brightening, acne etc? With my budget I can really only consider buying the "remarkable" products.
Love your hair, especially the curl 🥰

My face is so dry from heating that I’d actually wanna douse my face in oil. I think I’ll try a sample of the cica mask from Sephora .A few days ago I was ready to put Vaseline on my face.
The jury is still out for me with Pyunkang Yul, I am using the Moisture Ampule and intensive cream. It’s heavy on the skin and my skim was reactive. Have given it a few months and gone back to try. I use the Lanaige Water Mask. I haven’t seen any benefit so unlikely I will purchase again, but I do enjoy the way it feels.
What a great video! Thank you k beauty sister! Mua xoxoo mili
I don't like the cosrx rice sleeping mask anymore either, I was excited to use it but I felt like it's too light, it lacks the moisture that I need for a sleeping mask. That's why I started using it as an afternoon cream but then, it irritated my eyes. So, nowadays I only use it as a neck cream. I have repurchased twice because I didn't want to give up, but now I have decided to try other products.
I can relate to this video a lot. Thanks Kelly
Your lip color is lovely. What is it?
Speaking of essential oils - could you do an eye cream update? I think all of the eye creams in your eye cream video had EOs. I think that video was made before you did away with EOs in your skincare.
I love your videos. Thank you 🙏
Thank you, it's misha wishstone tint oil! Updated eye cream recs can be found here ruclips.net/video/zpZeJc9Qs2/видео.html
Kelly Driscoll thank you so much for your reply. I can’t wait to watch.
Unrelated to this video, but I purchased the Purito Comfy Water Sun Block from Yesstyle and it arrived yesterday but they sent me the old formula with essential oils in it despite advertising as essential oil free
I love the Pyunkang Yul toner and the serum! What do you think of the serum?
Thank you k-beauty sister!
Great video! Your such an entertaining RUclipsr. 🥰
I am new to your channel and am happy to have found you. I am looking for highly moisturizing products for the eye area. Also, can you recommend any K beauty subscription boxes?
The Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner was kinda "meh" for me. I first tried it in the summer and wasn't impressed. The toner wasn't bad, but it really wasn't good either. Since I had a bunch of other toners that I liked better, it sat in the shelf for a while. I tried Earth’s Recipe Energy Boosting Toner around the same time. Same deal with the EBT; it wasn't bad but it also really didn't have a place in my routine where it did something noticeably good for my skin. I recently re-visited both toners to see if the winter weather would make a difference in how they performed on my face. After about a week of using the PY, my skin was feeling dry and started to seem very thin. The PY just doesn't have the oomph to keep my skin hydrated. Thank you for the info that it can also be used as an essence! I'll give that a try. The re-evaluation of the Earth’s Recipe Energy Boosting Toner is still "meh" and I've relegated it to an after shower body hydration step.
Have you ever used any of the Hyggee toners? I loved the Balance One Step Facial Essence when I first tried it over the summer. My skin was drinking it down and definitely felt better as I used it, yet it seemed that once I reached a certain point in the healing process, the toner was just too much. It had gradually stopped being effective and finally it wouldn't sink into my skin at all. I stopped using it for a few months and decided to revisit it now that the weather is colder. It still won't sink in on my face and its rather uncomfortable to wear. This has also been relegated to an after shower body hydration step (where my skin does actually absorb it).
I just added pirito essence on my Yesstyle basket but now I changed my mind, thanks to you:) . Kelly what would you recommend to me a cost effective essence, I am very confused because there are loads of it🙃 ( apart from Pyukang Yul, used it and did not like it) I have an combination skin . Thank you,
Lol... well I'm glad I got the Purito night creme, but I also got the essence so hope I find it more beneficial than you did. I hate the greasy feeling of moisturizers...I have 6 cats, talk about hair attraction...a greasy face will keep you up with that ticking sensation all night, ugh! I have found with some I just need to pair it up with different actives and or use less. I also find waiting until serums have fully absorbed and dried down makes a difference. I have 49 year old neglected skin... so it's a real challenge between dry and my "old" young combo skin. I live in NM so the climate has really dictated my 'heavy' factor for products. It's always dry, but when winter's are cold... it's desert dry. Yet at the edges around my neck and hairline it can still just either not absorb moisture or is just still young and oily... not only is everyone's face different it also changes on everyone on a dime. Environment really effects the products we buy! Thanks again for another great vid! Smiles and blessings...
P.S. could you tell me how you keep all the ingedients in your products and their PHs straight, and how you remember when it's all in Japanese or Korean... what the product is for. I'm having a heck of a time with that. Thanks!
I had the exact same situation with the rice mask from cosrx! I stared mixing in some serums and actives and since then I love it!! Just a little advice so you can use it up and don’t have to waste it!
Oh thank you that's a good idea! I've been using it on my hands sometimes as a hand mask, hoping to get the brightening benefit there!
Kelly Driscoll That’s really clever as well, i use up my sunscreens with fragrance as a hand cream throughout the day! I think especially with “boring” formulas and creams it’s nice to give it your own kick by adding in some actives! I sometimes mix in the HA from the ordinary which makes the consistency of the cream much lighter!
"I'm your K beauty sister" ☺️☺️❤️
For me 2019 was the year I started tretinoin and so my whole regime had to change. Previously I had tolerated essential oils well (though I struggled with artificial fragrance for many years), despite being eczema prone and sensitive/dry. The addition of acids and tretinoin to my routine, means I have to be fragrance free or my skin freaks out. Also I swapped from using brands like the ordinary for active ingredients, to Korean beauty as they were more sophisticated formulations/textures without a hugely high price point. Brands I previously loved eg elemis have now disappeared from my routine and have been replaced by Klairs, Puritto, Pyunkang Yul, Benton etc. I have really dry/dehydrated skin and love the suppleness/moisture that layering gives my skin and essences have been a revelation. i always liked hydrating toners under serums/oils, but adding in more layers of toners/essences has really helped my hydration levels. Your channel has been very useful as your recommendations are targeted at dry/dehydrated/sensitive skin and are fragrance free (most youtubers talk about how fabulous something smells). My skin is drier than yours - I'm older, have eczema, my skin doesn't produce any oil anymore and is menopausal, but at least most of the items are suitable for me. I may need more layers or a richer cream/sleeping mask (I don't mind if something used at night is a little greasy) or may need to add a layer of an oil, but that's not a problem and easily accomplished. My makeup needs are actually somewhat similar - I don't need too much coverage and prefer a lighter weight glowy look. Best wishes.
Tret changes everything, doesn't it? Really glad to have helped you out with my videos! The fragrance/EO issue is always challenging at first but luckily we still have lots of products to choose from!
That was the exact same thing for me, the only difference is that I have oily/combo skin
I used the ordinary a loooot but they lack some elegance in their formulations so i stopped reaching for the big majority of their stuff.
Loraine Mcgillivray Same! I use Curology Retin-A and I was sensitive to start with! Even some fragrance free products irritate me. But I have found some good ones thanks to Kelly (and James Welsh!)
Do you mind sharing which toners and which essences you like?
@@bcoral8101 I switch between different ones depending on ingredients and time of year. For the winter I'm using Neogen dermatology first essence, T'iam vita b5 toner and Pyunkang Yul essence. In the summer I used Missha TR first essence, sukoyaka suhada urea lotion and hada labo premium. Hyaluronic acid works better for me in Summer. Hope that helps.
Same, I like the Cosrx Honey Mask, but don’t ever reach for the Rice Mask.
Why
Babita Dalal, personally, it has to do with the weight of the product on my face, & how my skin feels in the morning. For mine, the honey mask makes my skin soft, the rice mask just makes it seem coated.
Raving_Mad ok thanks does honey mask helped u with acne
Babita Dalal, I wouldn’t say that a really saw a noticeable difference in acne improvement, but it did not agitate any existing spots.
Raving_Mad thanks for the reply
I'm sorry if this is a silly question but I missed where you actually explained how you used Pyunkang Yul essence toner as an essence and not a toner? Is it just that you didn't use a cotton round? What made you go from hating it to loving in it terms of the order and how you used it? I hope that makes sense. Thanks! ❤️
You still need the answer for this lol?
I just need that non greasy moisturizers or products video.
I live in Africa and lately i've noticed that not only the skin on my face is dry but she's also sweat prone ( obviously the temperature doesn't help but still ... )
I don't know if that sweat part is coming from one of the components of my routine or if its just my skin 🙄
But i really need those non greasy products recommendations for my next yesstyle order.
Xoxo 😘
My favorite is illiyoon ceramide cream!
This is already on my wishlist 😅 i really trust your recommendations tho
I often find myself on the fence about products 😏 Holy grail products are few and don't come my way too often.
Sooo True those holy grails can be rare, and often they fade from glory after time, skin is very dynamic and ever changing!
Hi Kelly I really love ur video and honest recommendations and trying to build my Skincare replacing products one by one ... thanks ❤️u. I would like to request u to also share body and hair care products as they are an also v impt and waiting for ur videos plz make a video on both .. waiting for it
Hey! I actually already made body care ruclips.net/video/oFCa7pmYSZg/видео.html and hair care videos ruclips.net/video/55xIoazjH8E/видео.html enjoy!
Totally relate with the Laneige cica sleeping mask. It's the first sleeping mask I ever bought and sadly, Im quite disappointed :( Whenever I apply this, my face becomes more sweaty and it just feels like my face can't breath. Totally wouldnt recommend this for an oily face living in a tropical country. I bought the full size and now I don't know what to do with it :(
I've been using it up my my dry knees and feet! 😂🙈This is actually nice if you get inflamed bug bites too!
Haha same girl 😪 I was super excited to use it on my combination skin but it didn't suit me thankfully I got the mini
You guysss i need help, I'm thinking about buying the some by mi Snail Truecica Miracle Repair Starter Kit for my acne prone, combination skin. what do you guys think of the brand??
really enjoy your videos
I'm so glad to hear that!! Thank you!💕
Don't frown you're a beauty!
Laneige cica sleeping mask and cosrx rice sleeping mask which one is best? Please please reply
Heyy dear.. can i use snail n hyaluronic acid products at a time??!.
What order do you use stuff again? Toner, essence... uh...... oil?? lol heeelp!
Hey i recently started following your videos nd i love ur honesty.. After you explain i realize every point u said was so true.
I want to ask you,
What do u do when u buy a product and then u find out that it doesn't suit ur needs well, do u use it up cz u dnt want to waste money? Am talkng abt expensive product.
I give a lot of stuff away to family and friends or use it up on my neck and body!
I must say that I also prefer the honey mask to the rice one. Tried both but can't love the second. Having a little of a hard time liking the soon Jung 2x barrier relief cream, I want to love it but it seems to just make my acne come full force (hormonal acne). The buffet from the ordinary... I can't put my finger on it but I can't use it more than on my forehead 🤷🏻♀️ now I heard vit. C topically makes more bad than good so I'm struggling to use my vit. C products.
The honey mask is fabulous and I always reach for that one! Oh interesting on TO buffet, I was thinking about picking that one up eventually.
@@KellyDriscoll I won't say the buffet is a bad product because I do see smoothing of fine lines with it but my skin does react to it specially on my neck, small bumps apear and I've tried it in different occasions and could clearly see that was the buffet.
Have you tried the Benton Fermentation Essence (first essence)? I’d love to hear a review from you
I haven't opened it yet! 🙈
Kelly Driscoll Oh no problem 😉 I’m looking forward to your review once you’ve tried it 💕
Do you recommend any multi use products like a toner eesence which would do the work and so like that.. the world is talking about minimalising skin care routine and I don't see many talking about it
I haven't tried any 2-in-1 product that have impressed me, tbh! I'm not against minimizing the routine, though, more is not always more! The key is finding the powerful products that can do double duty!
Hi Kelly! Love this video. Many people never do a follow up and talk about how they're liking a product or incorporating it. I'm looking for a product like a mask or something that I could wear in the shower to reduce transepidermal water loss. I have eczema, so this is a huge problem for me. Any suggestions? Thank you ❤️
I always use I'm from mugwort mask in the shower. Recently been using bioderma sensibo mask and it also works!
@@KellyDriscoll ooh thank you!! I use the bioderma sensibio micellar water, I'll check out the mask!
which is better purito fermented one or cosrx galactomyces fermented essence
If you cant finish a product because you feel it does nothing to your skin in comparison to others, use it on your body!! and that way you don't waste it!
For me the cosrx rice mask was also just ok, not a repurchase
which essence is more good for open pores?
Hi Kelly could you tell me if is tea tree extract safe? isn’t it the same as essential oil? great videos love them
It's not the same as essential oils, extracts are less concentrated! Unless you have a specific sensitivity to tea tree itself you're probably not going to experience a problem.
Hmm wish you could elaborate a bit more on pyunkang yul and why do you think the order changed it for you.To be honest so far I've seen essences and hydrating toners as somethingg let's say interchangable (even tho I know that essences tend to have fermented inredients in them unlike some toners) to mainly bust that hydration before putting moisturizer to seal all that in. So now I am kind of confused. Honestly I am slowly building my skincare and having all the basics I was going to purchase toner or either an essence...if using one more product before pyungkang yul is let's say recommended i think i will in the end skip it
It has to do with texture and my skin's needs. Since PKY is a thick almost gel-like texture it can't absorb as deep as a thinner runnier texture. I have high hydration needs so a thinner textured toner needs to go first and the thicker texture of PKY creates more of a sealing process.
@@KellyDriscoll thanks that actually explains it well for me :)
What would be the differences between honey cosrx overnight mask and the rice one?
Texture! Honey is gel type texture and rice is a cream texture.
Oh cool, because i have rice cosrx mask and i love it but now i am curious to try either the honey one or purito :))
I just use straight honey on my face in the shower!(the thicker raw ones) its good for skin and hair so it's okay if it gets in your hair... you just rinse it off at the end when rinsing out conditioner
whats the diffrence in order between using the pyunkang as a toner or essence
or diffrence in application
The PKY Essence Toner leaves my face red every time I have tried to use it. I used it for a full week at first thinking it was going to be all right, but I don't want to use something that leaves me red as that cannot be good for me. I don't understand it at all, as everyone with sensitive, dry, messed up skin all talk about it being soothing and how it saved their skin. It has been sitting around now for over a year in its pretty blue bottle, mostly full, being useless to me.
Omgosh how terrible! Must be an ingredient or formulation sensitivity, totally not worth the pain!
It dose something to me too. Mini breakouts on my cheeks or something. I used for a few weeks and my skin got worse. As soon as I stopped things got better😭 wish it was as easy to return as ulta.
I was using it as an essence from the start.
@@kittycat8222 Yup, I couldn't return mine either, and I can't give it to my sister or mom, because I'm afraid they will have the same sensitivity reaction.
Ohhh i just ordered it today... :(
do you do a in shower mask everyday or just once in a while?
When my skin barrier was damaged I did it every time I took a shower or bath. Now I do it 1x a week or when my skin is feeling extra dry or dehydrated.
I stopped using the pyunkang yul toner it would feel dry! I will not purchase again
Heard from liah yoo that ingredients is drying. I ready enjoy the Rice toner.
You remind me of Ingrid Nilsen, especially your voice :)
Why do you call them sleeping packs instead of sleeping masks?? Genuinely curious and also confused
I use the Cosrx honey mask as a regular moisturizer. Is that wrong?
Not wrong! You can use it like that or a sleeping mask. You can even use that particular mask as a wash off too!
First one 😍
Yay!! 💕
Paula’s Choice Ingredient Dictionary says there’s no scientific evidence that mugwort is good for the skin. Just because it’s been used since ancient times does _not_ lend it credibility. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on this, since you’re a fan of mugwort.
"I use mugwort mask instead of make p:rem" "cosrx or purito" but this is not k beauty this or that kelly 😝🙈 you're amazing!!
