IOPE UV Shield Sun Stick SPF 50+ – Review
This sunscreen is terrific, I’ve enjoyed using it, but it doesn’t work for my skin type. This product offers very high protection of SPF 50+ and PA++++(4). The formula includes emollient ingredients as the base, as it’s a stick-type sunscreen and a mix of titanium dioxide with chemical UV filters. There is a bit of…

Amorepacific Vintage Single Extract Essence — Review
This product is upsetting on so many levels, the best way to describe it would be: the price is steep, and the results are meagre. The main ingredient in the formula is fermented green tea extract; thanks to this ingredient we are supposed to see the betterment of ‘the look of elasticity, clarity and texture’…

CosRx AC Collection Blemish Spot Clearing Serum – Review
I am not sure what to say about this product, there are a lot of claims, but not many results. My first issues arise with the ingredients of this serum. It is supposed to be spot and blemish (in my understanding hyperpigmentation) clearing, but there isn’t enough in the formula to deliver these effects. We…

Dr. Jart+ Every Sun Day Moisturizing Sun SPF 50+ – Review
It’s been a while since I’ve talked about this brand, so here’s another review of Dr. Jart +’s product. This sunscreen contains a mix of chemical filters which provides us with good anti-UV protection of SPF 50+ and PA++++ (4). The sunscreen contains a lot of skin-benefiting ingredients like adenosine, ceramide NP, and niacinamide, to…

From Nature Age Intense Treatment Essence – Review
This essence is another popular dupe for the well liked SK II Essence in Korea and outside of it. The main ingredient in this product is galactomyces ferment filtrate, the same type of ferment as in the SK II Essence, but in a higher concentration of 95.7% compared to only 90%. The formula also includes…

Primera Miracle Seed Essence – Review
This is one of the most popular essences in Korea and abroad, and I’ve wanted to try it for a long time. Here’s a review of it. This essence is not based on ferments; the main ingredient here is lotus seed extract which is rich in vitamins from the B group, omega(-amino) fatty acids, and…

CosRx Advanced Snail Peptide Eye Cream – Review
The Advanced Snail Peptide Eye Cream is one of the newest additions to CosRx’s lineup, and as always CosRx didn’t disappoint. The main ingredient in this product is snail secretion filtrate constituting 72% of the formula. Snail secretion filtrate is mainly known for its skin-rejuvenating properties; it calms the skin, takes away redness, and helps…

IOPE Bio Eye Cream Youth Complete – Review
The review is going to be short because the product is simply bad. The main three results that this product is supposed to deliver are firmer skin, fewer wrinkles, and youthful-looking eye area. I couldn’t notice any of these results, instead, it made my eye look like a raisin. During the three-week testing period of…

CosRx Light Fit Real Water Toner To Cream – Review
When I first saw this product, it reminded me of the Bio-Essence Hydra Tri-Action Mask, which was quite popular a few years ago. Mainly it was because both products have an exciting dew-creating gimmick. Technically, when you apply either of the two products, water droplets are supposed to create on the surface of your skin,…

NEOGEN Vita Duo Cream Joan Day Joan Night – Review
I think this product is a modern take on the idea of day and night cream; they are in one jar instead of two — a very bright idea. The ingredients lists of the creams look dense, but in reality, there aren’t many extracts, vitamins, peptides, etc. that we usually find in Korean products. The…

Etude Soon Jung 5 Cica Sleeping Pack – Review
This mask was released during the period when Korean brands were introducing cica lines. Just like most of the other products, this one also contains cantella asiatica – the ingredient that we all love and look out for. This product has a thick and creamy, gel-like consistency, but it absorbs pretty well. A little goes…

Innisfree Daily UV Protection Cream No Sebum SPF 35 PA+++ – Review
I think this is one of the oldest Korean sunscreens; I had been postponing buying this sunscreen for years, as I knew it would be just like many other mineral-only sunscreens – drying and ashy. This sunscreen contains titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, not micronised, as well as iron oxides that help to protect from…

Missha Time Revolution The First Treatment Essence Rx – Review
I don’t even recall which reformulation of the Missha’s essence it is, but it’s another one. If you liked the old version, stock up on it, or forget about it altogether. New formulas are here, and this is one of them. I don’t have much information about the essence, but on the box, it’s written…

IOPE Men Air Cushion – Review
Everyone is losing their hats because Chanel have released a foundation for men, in Korea, and soon expanding to the West. Really? I mean Koreans have had foundations dedicated to men, or more preferred in the region BB creams, for years now. IOPE, Laneige, Missha, The Face Shop, and many others have makeup products for…

CosRx Low pH Good Morning Cleanser – Review
This is an exciting one; it’s like a guilty pleasure. It’s a foaming gel cleanser, and you can use it as often as you like. How many times have you heard that foaming cleansers are bad for your skin? I bet more than a hundred times. It’s true; foaming face washes aren’t the best for…

Tried & Disliked
Today, I am going to talk about a few products that I’ve tried, and I don’t really care about. All of these products either underwhelmed me or were completely useless. You could call it an empties post, but I couldn’t finish all of these products as they were just disappointing. Alverde – Reinigungsmilch Perfekter Teint…

CosRX Acne Pimple Master Patch – Review
This product may seem simple and unnecessary, that’s what I had been thinking about it before I bought it. I thought it was a gimmicky product, like many Asian products, or CosRx’s silk cocoons for exfoliating face – they do nothing by the way. But oh boy, I was wrong. These patches are a game…

Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Serum – Review
I wanted to try out this serum for a few reasons: i. Before I had only used Dr. Jart’s sheet masks, and I wanted to discover this brand more; ii. I wanted an anti-redness serum; iii. I wanted to try centella asiatica. So Dr. Jart’s Cicapair Serum seemed like a good fit. Before I get…
