I keep seeing people joke that all these eye patches are basically the same now and thought I found another one that I wanted to try

Saw one influencer cut open the whole container too and honestly... yeah they do look pretty similar

Tried this one and the only thing I noticed is at least that the patches are cut into different shapes, so maybe there’s slightly less wasted space? not sure if that actually matters though

At this point I feel like these eye patches are just the Spider Man pointing meme in skincare form.

Anyone actually tried a few of them and noticed a real difference?

I love using sheet masks, so I usually keep a bunch in the fridge and use one once or twice a week. These are some of the ones I’ve tried recently! Have you tried any of these, or are there any others you’ve really liked?

1. Biodance hydro-ceranol deep mask

This is a gel mask, so it adheres really well to my skin and is much less messy than regular sheet masks since there’s no ampoule dripping everywhere. I originally got it because it’s supposed to be good for soothing and hydration, and I think it does a pretty decent job of giving my skin that hydrated, glowy look from within. They say you can wear it almost like an overnight mask, but I feel like my skin would hate me if I left anything on that long lol. I usually keep it on for around 30 minutes instead.

2. Numbuzin no.3 mask pack

I’d heard this one could feel a little tingly, and unfortunately my skin is thin and sensitive, so it definitely stung on me :( I ended up taking it off after just a few minutes. It’s a shame because I actually liked the sheet itself. It feels really soft against the skin, fits nicely, and there’s plenty of serum in it. I could see this working better for someone whose skin isn’t as sensitive as mine.

3. Pixelpure slow aging cream wrapping sheet mask

I think it’s because this is a wrapping mask, but I really like how there’s no dripping and it stays nicely in place. The sheet itself is soft and sits really well on my skin without lifting, so the essence seems to absorb pretty well too. It leaves my skin feeling fresh and hydrated without any stickiness afterward. The only thing is that the cream is only on one side of sheet, so always have to check which side it is before putting it on.

4. Celimax noni ampoule mask

I’ve had a good experience with their noni ampoule, so I got curious and decided to try the mask too. I actually feel like the essence from the mask absorbs a little better into my skin than the ampoule does. There’s plenty of essence and the sheet itself is really soft, which I liked. In terms of the actual results, I’d say it works about as well as the ampoule for me.

5. Mediheal madecassoside mask

Probably the easiest one of the bunch to use regularly. It’s also really affordable if you buy it in Korea, so I tend to stock up whenever I’m there. Nothing super dramatic, but it’s one I like reaching for whenever my skin feels like it needs some soothing.

6. Returnity yulmu pdrn glowy skin gel mask

I feel like this might be a gel mask thing in general, but my skin texture definitely feels smoother after using this one, and my makeup seems to sit better the next day too. With regular use, I’ve actually noticed some of the little bumps and uneven texture on my skin looking less noticeable.

It’s been almost a full year of trying different treatments to figure out what actually works for my hair and when to use each one. My hair is pretty fine and I dye it often, so I need something that helps with the dry ends without making everything feel flat or greasy.

Elastine Amino Peptide Care Deep Nourishing Treatment

This is probably the most basic and affordable one here, but I don’t mean that in a bad way. It makes my hair feel softer and is easy to use when I just need a normal treatment after shampooing. I do have to control the amount though because it can feel a little rich on my fine hair

Moev Annurcatin Treatment

This one feels the most balanced treatment for regular use. It gives my hair a smoother and shinier finish without feeling like there is a really heavy coating on it. and the softness last till the next day so its like a good daily use one for sure, The scent is also pretty nice. I reach for this when my hair feels dry but not completely damaged

Treecell Forte Ampoule Treatment

Probably the richest one out of these for me. I use it when my ends feel especially rough from dyeing or heat styling, rather than using it every day. It definitely gives that softer and more nourished feeling, but I think using too much could be heavy if you have thin hair like me

Monclos Velvet Nourishing Treatment

This might be one of the easiest ones to use regularly. It makes my hair feel soft and slightly more controlled without completely removing the volume. I also like the scent, which stays noticeable but isn’t too much imo

True.LAB Expert Nourishing Hair Mask

The texture feels thick and gives pretty immediate softness, so it works well as an occasional hair mask. The packaging and fragrance feel a bit less premium than the others though, and I would avoid getting it directly on the skin if you’re sensitive.

I don’t think there is one treatment that wins for every situation. Moev and Monclos are easier for regular use, while Treecell and True.LAB make more sense when my hair needs something heavier. Elastine is the simple option when I don’t want to think too much about it.

Still testing different combinations, but these are the five I’ve used the most so far. Has anyone tried these, or found a treatment that works well for fine and color-treated hair?

Really love how Takanawa Gateway City has made the floor with lots of plant.

My skin is oily and highly acne-prone, and I’m dealing with acne scars as well.

I used to be a skincare maximalist and piled on a ton of products, but I’ve realized it’s too much for my oily skin. I'm trying to minimize my routine and cut down to just one solid serum that can do it all. That’s why I'm specifically looking for a formula that combines Niacinamide and Panthenol. What I know is that those ingredients are good for acne scars and for breakouts as well.

These are some options and I've found:

- Celimax Cica Serum

- Purito Seoul Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Serum

- Mediheal Madecassoside Blemish Repair Serum

- Abib Heatleaf TECA Capsule Serum

- Torriden Balanceful Control Serum

- Dr.G Clear Hyal Cica Soothing Serum

- Earthat Strawbby Glow Serum

- Wellage Real Cica Calming Trouble Ampoule

- Numbuzin No.1 Serum

I'm not entirely sure about the exact percentages of the key ingredients in these products or how much they actually matter, so any insights on that would be highly appreciated.

Out of these options, which one do you think would work best for my skin type? Or if you've tried any of these, what was your experience?

Due to following the review tag mod told me to re sub, :')

Skin type: these days mostly dry but gets oily on T zone,

Weather: Super hot and humid, it will be worst in August

As it's getting hotter and more humid in Japan, I've been trying to simplify my summer routine. My skin and scalp tend to get oily throughout the day, but at the same time I still deal with some dryness, especially when I'm staying in air conditioned places for long hours.

One thing I've noticed is that I absolutely hate heavy or sticky products during summer. If something feels greasy after 10 minutes, I probably won't use it again no matter how good the ingredients are.

These are the products I've been using the most lately:

Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Toner ★★★★★

Medixxxx (due to sub policy) PDRN Pink Peptide Serum ★★★★

Medixxxx (due to sub policy) PDRN Pink Hyaluronic Moisturizing Cream ★★★

Celimax Noni Ampoule ★★★★

Urbanand Propolis Serum ★★★★★

Earthat Comforting Cream ★★★★★

Bananal Hair Essence ★★★★★

Those reviews for stars are based on the climates and situation based since I always look for things that arent getting sticky and those serums and creams are for the perfect match and hair essence Ive got like 4 of them but for summer I use Bananal's one

The main reason I keep reaching for these is because they're some of the least sticky products I've tried so far. Everything layers pretty well together and doesn't leave that heavy feeling on my skin, even on humid days.

Found this random Stitch figure in Disney Store in Shibuya, Tokyo. The display was sooo cute that I couldn't resist buying one! It seems there's a switch to on light as well!

i saw these on tiktok and thought the containers looked pretty. As you can see see the container itself is like muted, aesthetic rose tone that looks really nice on my vanity. i originally was using the &honey treatment and recently switched things up and bought this set on Amazon. it's the anillo rosy night ampoule treatment and hair essence oil. i've been using them together for about two weeks now and i actually have some thoughts.

didn't really expect anything dramatic at first cause i bought it for the look. it’s a liquid-to-cream formula that warms up like a mini steam pack when it hits wet hair. the pointed nozzle is pretty handy because i can squeeze it exactly where my damaged cuticles are without making a mess. it was not one of those products where your hair suddenly feels amazing right away, but after a couple of weeks, my hair definitely feels softer, less dry, and detangled.

then, i finish up with the hair essence oil. it’s on the more watery, lightweight side. i use flat iron almost daily and i feel like applying this helps with heat damage. i usually put it on damp hair before blow-drying, and add a tiny bit more after styling.

if i have to pick a downside, the oil bottle is glass so it feels a bit heavy. since it’s made of glass i’m quite scared to break it when using it, but so far i’m just careful with it.
