what's the one k beauty product you've been reaching for constantly lately?

serum, toner, sunscreen, moisturizer, cleanser...anything

would love to hear what you're loving and why!

It's on drastic sale on the Official Illiyoon TikTok Shop.

One is reduced to $9.49 + 50% off. Three are $39.70. Why?? 🤔 I can buy 3 for much less than that.

I bought FIVE for only $14.72 total, including free shipping!! I did it by using the current 50% off + 40% off you buy 5 total.

No, I do not work for Illiyoon or TikTok Shop.

hi all! mid 30s here living in the az desert. summertime feels like what is winter for everyone else, where I’m inside 24/7 with the ac running and it just dries me out like crazy on top of the heat. (already combatted my dehydrating skin & damaged barrier, just dryness now)

have always had dry skin. currently using a basic etude cleanser that doesn’t dry me out, skin1004 Centella ampoule, pyunkang yul essence, the ordinary HA (always applied on damp skin), avene tolerance cream, rotating an active so either Rx tret, azelaic acid, or my rohto vit c, spraying some dr Althea marine jelly mist between layers, then slugging with cerave healing ointment.

I sometimes still wake up dry (also sleep with a humidifier) and so I’ve been reconsidering my moisturizers or toners to find some more hydrating. any recs would be appreciated!

some products I’m looking at:

isntree HA toner or ampoule

genabelle pdrn toner or ampoule

dr G blemish cream (used years ago, my skin tends to absorb cream texture lotions faster than gel/jelly texture which feels less drying)

Abib rice probiotic sleep mask

also yes Ive had my labs done and I do have some hormonal imbalances the past year and trying different things to help, so it does tend to make my skin wonky

Has anyone tried the Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum for brightening? I have combination, sensitive skin and want something that helps with glow/evening out my skin tone, especially since my face is a shade darker than my neck.
I use suncreen everyday.
5% niacinamide suits me, but The Ordinary 10% niacinamide gives me white bumps if I use it daily, and vitamin C irritates my skin.
Should I continue with 5% niacinamide, or is the BOJ Glow Serum worth trying? Any other gentle brightening recommendations?

So i’m debating whether to buy the anua rice toner or the Haruharu’s one , what do u think is the best for an oily skin???

Basically the text. (Not sure if this is discussion or routine help, sorry.) Like if an appointment or early morning thing is on your agenda, so you have done the wash, usual AM products, then SPF. But then something happens in midafternoon like a dip in the pool, change of plans where suddenly it's a shower day (ugh) or whatever. Curious what other people do.

For me, I've recently been using a gentler face wash anyway, so when this happened today, I used the same as a morning shower. But typically I would use a toner, an AHA/BHA product before a sunscreen, optional makeup for the day, etc (no makeup today). I'd just done all that a few hours earlier and I knew I'd need to reapply sunscreen plus I got shampoo on my forehead, so I was like, guess I should use the gentle wash... but what other products? I used a peptide ampoule, skipped toner, skipped any other active things, just did a more hydrating sunscreen. Now my skin feels okay, but there are 1 million products in Korean skincare, I seem to always end up with random samples/gifts of products, and I was curious what else I could have reached for.

i usually buy my skincare products from amazon or yesstyle. i am asking this bcs i recently saw a lot of ads on tiktok. i just found out that i actually can buy from tiktok directly and some of them are so cheap. like much much cheaper than other platforms. didn't know this until a few days ago lol. i am just wondering if it's a legit place to buy skincare? any experience buying skincare or makeup products on tiktok shop would be appreciated. thank you!

Hey, everyone! I'm a 32 year old male who is just getting into skin care for the first time. I bought Mixsoon glass skin set, and Beauty of Joseon SPF. Is there anything else that you can recommend me please because I really want to become serious in taking care of my skin and looks.

A big reason why I had been neglecting skin care is because of laziness. I didn't want to add more daily chores to my life for the foreseeable future. But I recently made a simple change that caused me to reconsider. Another reason I had been neglecting skin care is because I felt overwhelmed by how many products are on the market. I didn't know what I should be using, and frankly, I didn't even understand a lot of the terminology (e.g., cleanser, exfoliant, toner, serum). I thought I would be wasting money on products I would probably not use consistently anyway. But I wanna make a change now and invest in my skincare regime.

Any tips/advice would be much appreciated!!

y’all.. call me silly but i only just discovered that tinted spfs help protect from visible light 😅 this is a huge deal for me because i struggle with super sensitive melasma. even tho it’s become a lot lighter than when i started my k-skin journey, i am still constantly obsessing over it. i’m getting ready to re-up my spf stock and am curious which korean tinted sunscreens you’ve tried, like and why.

i am 35 with sensitive combo skin that currently leans on the oilier side thanks to breaking my caffeine abstinence

Ciao a tutti,qualcuno ha sentito parlare di Koreabe ?

Ha ogni tipo di skincare e non,inoltre ha veramente un sacco di prodotti e marchi e spedisce in Europa.

Ma ho qualche dubbio sull'affidabilità.

I’m interested in Korean beauty and skincare, and I’d love to know what Canadian customers are looking for.
Are there any Korean skincare or beauty products that you wish were easier to find in Canada?
I’d especially love to hear about:
