Being a person whose skin (before RNW Ceramide serum, that is) frequently resembled a 2000-year-old sheet of parchment, my biggest skin problem has always been the same: Dry, dry, dry. I was drawn to k-beauty years ago because everything I read, from 10-step routines to reviews of products, seemed to have a heavy focus on … Read more
Dropper sunscreens have become more and more popular. From Supergoop!* to CyberDERM*, these lightweight sunscreens differ from the classical ones. So, when I first saw Abib Heartleaf Sun Essence Calming Drop on IG, I couldn’t refrain from trying something new. I like their idea of combining essence and sun care into a robust drop bottle. … Read more
I am a big fan of the Thank You Farmer. It has slowly become one of my first choices for Asian beauty stuff. Their skincare is very good, so when I was in the market for a hydrating toner (I guess, when are we not in the market for a new hydrating toner?), I thought … Read more
When I saw Purito Centella Unscented Recovery Cream online, it struck me like lightning. A CICA cream from Purito? Yes, please! If you had followed me for a while, you would have known my crazy love for Centella serums, which I will review soon. I immediately carted this out as soon as I saw this … Read more
Confession time: I bought Numbuzin No.3 Skin Softening Serum after reading a single raving review on the AsianBeauty Reddit community.

Was my impulse … Read more
I bought the Jumiso Waterfull Hyaluronic Sunscreen when planning for my vacation. Since I am using retinoids, I buy (and like to test) a lot of sunscreens. This was a good choice, although summer vacation in Coachella Valley wasn’t our best decision thus far. We hadn’t even thought of Palm Springs existing in a desert … Read more
Picture this: you’ve been taking excellent care of your skin and love how it looks and feels. You recently purchased an exfoliating serum everyone’s raving about on social media. But within a week or so, your skin seems to have turned on you, like it’s ANGRY. Maybe it’s burning, itchy, really dry, and flaky. Your … Read more
Thank You Farmer Miracle Age Repair Toner was the first product I tried from this brand. I must admit that I was drawn to the lovely packaging and the cute company name.I was not paid for this review or received it as a gift. At a glance: Where to buy the Miracle Age Repair Toner? … Read more
I was under the impression that creams were all the same until my beloved holy grail, Holika Holika Good Cera Super Ceramide Cream*, came along. I know, spoiler alert! I enjoyed this cream so much that I decided to buy the Holika Holika Good Cera Super Ceramide Mist, which is quite okay (later edit). I’ll … Read more
Ok, here it is; what my friends have asked about the most is the Benton Snail Bee High Content Essence review. I’m currently using the Benton Snail Bee High Content Essence and the Snail Bee High Content Steam Cream. I like how they work together. I don’t think they should be broken up. If you … Read more
