I tried cult Korean skincare products so you don't have to (Stylevana AD)
- “the Aqua Fresh is lighter. It's designed for normal to oily skin”▶ 1:22
- “this version has more of a matte finish. It has less of a shiny emollient oil layer left on the skin”
- “this one much more lightweight, and it's especially obvious when you put it on your face”
- “this version does not have MBBT”▶ 1:53
- “if that white cast was a bit of a problem for you, this one doesn't have it - highly recommend trying it out”▶ 2:14
- “this does not have niacinamide”▶ 2:25
- “this formula just solves a lot of problems that people had with Korean sunscreens”▶ 2:57
- “It feels really nice on skin”▶ 3:29
- “that lightweight texture, which is great from a sensory point of view”
- “It might mean that it comes off more easily with things like sweat and movement. So this is definitely not something you want to wear while gardening or exercising”▶ 3:33
Beauty of Joseon$29.00
APLB$19.50- “It's very no frills. It's almost like a Korean version of The Ordinary”▶ 3:59

- “It is one of my top repair products”
- “Pyunkang Yul I think is just such an underrated brand. They have so many really solid products”▶ 5:25

- “When you put it on your skin, it is actually really, really lightweight”
- “It is really good at sinking into skin quickly. It still ends up matte and not greasy”
- “It actually doesn't make my makeup slide around much at all, which is so good for using during the day”▶ 6:09
- “This balm just works so well for calming and protection when my skin is really irritated and red and shaved”▶ 6:50
- “It really helps support it while it's healing without irritating it”▶ 6:55
- “This is really good for softening it”▶ 7:05
- “It glides on really nicely. It doesn't really tug on skin, which sometimes when your skin is irritated, everything hurts. And this just helps cut down on that a bit”▶ 7:10
- “I also used this all over my face as like an overnight mask when my skin was really dehydrated in winter”▶ 7:21

- “It makes lots of really luxurious, dense foam”
- “After this rinses off, I found that my skin felt really nice and soft and hydrated, but it still cleans really well for me as a second cleanser”▶ 9:02
- “I find that this is really similar to that Skin1004 cleanser that my husband Omar really loves”▶ 9:17
- “It does claim that it doesn't sting eyes. So I tried it on my eyes and it's fine. It doesn't sting them”▶ 9:27
- “It comes out as like a bit of a hard paste. So it's actually very easy to dispense the right amount that you want to use. It doesn't all just spill out”▶ 9:53
- “Overall great cleanser. I can see why everyone loves it so much. It is just a really solid cleanser for most people's routines”▶ 10:03
K-Secret$13.98- “Vitamin A derivatives like retinal are kind of like the powerhouse ingredients in skincare”▶ 10:37
- “In general, I have found that retinal products do feel gentler on my skin, less spicy, and I think it is because these stabilizing methods do make them release more slowly”▶ 11:43
- “This one has been through an irritation test”▶ 11:59
- “This is a really good product if you are more experienced with retinoids or if your skin is just really not sensitive to them”▶ 12:49
- “It has a nice nozzle that makes it very easy to control how much you're dispensing”▶ 13:34
- “It really cuts down on the risk of like having a super inflamed face 2 days after you've tried a retinal”▶ 13:43
- “It is a really lightweight cleansing oil. It spreads really easily and it also rinses off really easily, too”▶ 14:39

- “And the pump is super convenient”▶ 15:27

- no stillBeauty of Joseon$17.00
