r/kbeauty

Hey guys! I'm turning 30 soon and my skincare routine has literally just been CeraVe my whole life 🥲 i really
want to upgrade to K-beauty for that healthy glow, but
I'm super overwhelmed, there are soooo many options.
My skin is combination, and my main issues are occasional acne, stubborn blackheads, and dark under-eye circles (I think they are vascular, they look kinda purple/bluish)
Where should I even start? What are your holy grail products for combo skin/dark circles?

Idk if it’s just me who feels this way but skin1004 is overrated! Only there toners and cleansers are decent other than they all are mid. And how no one says anything about there sunscreen leaving white cast! Which was such a let down for me when I first tried there hyalu cica sun serum and even it leaves a white cast tho it settles down fast I hate that they say it doesn’t leave any white cast, and the trend where Korean sunscreen doesn’t leave white cast and they put on a huge amount at last we can see the creator blending it hard for that white cast to settle down and same goes for the tea-trica one! I haven’t tried the other one but I remember seeing a creator with dark skin tone showing the white cast and people kept saying it’s fake which kind of pissed me off. Also there moisturizer was not so great none of them worked out for me and I have tried there 4 different type and still a no. There ampoule I only tried 2 one was brightening one which gave no result and the second was tea-trica which gave me pimples. As for the cleanser and toner they are great not so much of a wow product tho I don’t like there toner pads cuz it gave me tiny bumps. That’s all I have to say and all of this is my own honest opinion and I’m sure many of people love there products but for me it was a huge letdown especially after all these hypes.

Looking for a cleanser for acne prone sensitive skin, acne scars, combination/ oily skin, live in hot climate.
Beplain mung bean cleansing foam or round lab 1025 dokdo cleanser? Currently using inisfree cherry blossom jelly cream and neutrogena invisible daily defense sunscreen lotion.

Looking for recommendations for everyone’s favorite oil cleanser. I’ve been using Beauty of Joseon’s oil cleanser for over a year. I don’t have any issues with it but I don’t love the smell. When I started using K-beauty, I used BOJ products exclusively after they were recommended to me. While some of me go to products are from BOJ, I have started exploring other brands and products more, and I have built a pretty solid skincare routine. Now I am wondering if there’s a better oil cleanser out there, or if this is still a pretty solid product to stick to!

I'm looking into getting a good skincare routine for more glass skin any recommendations?

Hello!

I am looking for some cleansing oil and cleanser recommendations for combo, sensitive skin.

I recently tried the Anua Heartleaf cleansing oil, and I believe that messed with my skin barrier. After using it, my cheeks got really blotchy and red. They have been very sensitive and dry as well. I have been using Centellian 24 Cream to help with that (if there's anything better, let me know please!). I have also been looking into getting the Aestura Atobarrier 365 cream.

I wanted to start with the cleansers as I transition to a new routine to not overwhelm my skin. I have been using OSEA Cleansing Milk in the morning, Tatcha Camellia Cleansing Oil + OSEA Ocean Cleanser in the evening.

Thank you!

I’m looking for a good body sunscreen for daily use. My skin is slightly oily and I live in a hot, humid climate. I want something lightweight, non-sticky, and effective for strong sun. Any recommendations

I am wasian, so I dabble in Asian beauty because of the undertones provided, I am acne prone with post inflammatory hyperpigmentation and get oily during the day so usually bake to keep makeup in place and for coverage.

With the hot weather in the UK, it’s not just the oil, but also sunscreen and sweat that I’m battling against, I see that k beauty always seems to hold up in the Asian hot weather, but they seem to use very little powder, does the skin then feel sticky all day? How do you set it in place without it moving.

Just looking for some genuine advise please and thank you 🫶🏻

im looking into buying my first bb cream and am not sure which to get between the two. i have combination sensitive skin and live in a dry area with warmer temperatures. which would be better for me?

What products do you swear by for your body?
