Documenting my Trials and Tribulations with Beauty Products
I seem to always pick up a 100% mineral sunscreen no matter how many times they have sorta failed for me. Dr. G Green Mild Up Sun+ SPF50+ PA++++ has been raved about as a cosmetically elegant mineral sunscreen with little to no cast, so I just had some hope that maybe, this one would…
I first tried the Dr. G Clear R.E.D. Blemish Clear Soothing Cream back in 2021 after eyeing it for years and hearing so many positive reviews. I loved it so much, I featured it in my skincare favourites of 2021. I have purchased this cream a second time in 2023, and have yet again featured…
After seeing it a number of times in the beautysphere, I finally caved and purchased Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics SPF50+ PA++++ at my local DM drugstore. I was missing the cosmetic elegance of Asian sunscreens. Seeing it in front of me, I thought I would finally give Beauty of Joseon Relief…
For those of you well in-tune with the skincare world, last year Purito (and others) pulled their sunscreens off market as they were not meeting the SPF claim as indicated on the label. Recently, Purito launched their new and (supposedly) improved sunscreen called Daily Go-To Sunscreen with an SPF50+ and PA++++. I decided to give…
When I first heard I’m From came out with a Pear line, I couldn’t help but raise a brow. I felt like they were really stretching the plant and fruit extracts idea and I didn’t have high expectations. Now don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love some of their skincare like the I’m From Rice…
elmt is a new, exclusive skincare brand from Wishtrend, an online retailer of Korean skincare. I was sent the Gentle Exfoliating Solution and Advanced Calming Solution to test out and I’m ready to share my thoughts! For reference, I am acne prone, normal to dry skin. I am currently using 0.1% Tretinoin in my skincare…
Back in November 2020, I received a lovely package of I’m From’s Rice Toner, Serum and Cream. I’m a fan of their toner for how it instantly softens and brightens my skin while performing as a great supplemental moisturizing product. I even featured it in my Skincare Favourites of 2020! I’ve been rotating all three products in my skincare routine for a few months now and I’m ready to share my thoughts! Note I have already done a full review on I’m From Rice Toner so I’ll leave a link to that down below. In this post, I’ll specifically be reviewing their serum and cream.
The Neogen Probiotics Collection contains a variety of products that include fermented ingredients such as Streptococcus Thermophilus Ferment, Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate and/or Bifida Ferment Lysate. The primary goal is to build a strong skin barrier and aid our skin’s microbiome. Building and maintaining our skin barrier is crucial to skin health, for a weakened barrier is a common denominator in many skin concerns – for myself, that would be my acne-prone, dry skin!
I’ve never tried any Neogen skincare before, so I was very excited when a sunscreen was included in a generous PR package StyleKorean sent over! With all the hype around this brand, I did have an expectation for Neogen’s Dermalogy Probiotics Relief Sun Essence – that it would be a cosmetically elegant sunscreen with a ton of skin-beneficial ingredients!
Rovectin seems to be the new kid on the block in the K-beautysphere. As I’ve mentioned in a previous post, this Korean beauty brand was originally created for cancer patients who experience irritating, skin-drying and barrier deteriorating side-effects from the treatments. Knowing this, Rovectin primarily focuses on providing skincare products to those with the most sensitive skin types – effective, gentle formulations to promote skin health.
