[SURVEY] Aestura Atobarrier 365 Cream — Korean vs Global Tube

Hi everyone!

I'd love to collect some experiences with the Aestura Atobarrier 365 Cream, specifically the two different tubes shown in the picture.

Just to clarify: BOTH are newer versions, NOT the old vs reformulated cream! I'm comparing the Korean-market and global-market packaging.

⚠️ PLEASE REVIEW ONLY ONE TUBE PER COMMENT!

If you've tried both, please leave TWO SEPARATE COMMENTS: one reviewing Tube A and another reviewing Tube B. This will help keep experiences with each version separate and make comparisons more accurate.

  1. Which tube do you have?

- A: Top-left tube — says "CREAM / CRÈME"

- B: Bottom-right tube — says "DermaON+"

  1. What's your skin type?

Dry / Oily / Combination / Normal / Sensitive / Acne-prone

  1. Did you experience any breakouts?

- A: No breakouts

- B: Closed comedones (CCs)

- C: Pimples/acne

  1. Did it sting or irritate your eyes?

- A: Yes, even when I didn't apply it near my eyes

- B: Yes, when applied around my eyes

- C: No eye stinging at all

  1. Overall: LOVE, LIKE, NEUTRAL, DISLIKE or HATE? And why?

Thank you! 💙

My K Beauty Haiku

Listen close and hear
The sighs from my grateful skin
After serum mist.

I live in the arid and blazing hot Mojave Desert. When I get home from work in the afternoon, I brush my teeth and spray my Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Probiotics 2% NAD+ Serum Mist before carrying on with my tasks. It’s heaven for my mature, textured, combination skin, and inspired a bit of poetry ; )

Recs for another mist to try?

The taste is so pungent how do you eat these without getting nauseous

It was so hyped up a few months ago and I finally decided to try, only one video the influencer talked about the taste and she spat it out and did really visual gestures of disgust, different to every other influencer so I just assumed she was dramatic.

Until I got it and ate it because I didn't trust her review and it actually taste extremely disgusting and I don't know how I can finish 29 more days because I'm already getting nauseous on day 1😭

Review of Numbuzin 5 Serum

Wanted to try this serum out after hearing some good reviews - for context, I have sensitive, dry, somewhat acne prone skin. I have an oily t-zone and struggle with some hyperpigmentation resulting from past breakouts, and deal with texture in the form of pores and congestion.

My hope with this product was that I could even my complexion and lighten my dark spots. I patch tested on my neck and my forearm, and all seemed well.

I used it for a little less than a week, applying it to lightly damp skin after cleansing and then layering my usual moisturizer on top. Immediately I saw the development of a few blemishes, which weren’t restricted to my typical breakout areas.

However, I kept using it in case something else was responsible (I.e. period, stress, diet).

The blemishes persisted! Around day five I decided to quit using the serum and instead chose to go back to my precious Finacea.. and after two days, the blemishes are calming down significantly!

To the serum’s credit, it did feel really nice while on the skin. It didn’t sting or itch or anything, and despite the blemishes I felt that it made me look quite radiant for the first day or two. However, before I decided to call it quits, I did notice a bit of redness around my nose..

I’m going to give it to my mom to try out, as she has hardier skin than I and I think she could get some good use out of this.

So, how does my experience compare to yours?

Do vitamins actually make a difference for your skin?

I got influenced by all the viral ads and started using these two products, but do vitamins actually do anything for your skin? Has anyone here seen real results? I’m genuinely curious.

Also, is it better to use them in an ampoule/serum, or would a cream be more effective?

Best moisterizer ?

Which of these 3 would be best for sensitive and dry skin ?

  1. Illiyoon ceramide ato concentrate cream

  2. Aestura atobarrier 365 cream

  3. S Nature aqua squalane moisturizing cream

I use Azelaic Acid in the morning and Tretinoin 0.05 at night , and I've been using Cerave hydrating balm but it feels like it doesn't hydrate my skin properly anymore so I'm trying to find an alternative.

I'm thinking of picking up some BHA to use around my nose for sebaceous filaments so I'd rather a cream that would minimize the damage to the skin barrier but also make my face look plump and hydrated

Which of these two toner pads should I stick with?

trying to finally commit to one toner pad and I’m stuck between these two lol. I have dry, sensitive skin, so I’m kinda picky about what I use. The one on the left is my usual and you get a ton for the price, but the one on the right was a gift and the ingredients look a little nicer. Which one would you stick with? Would love to hear from anyone with similar skin!

My updated skincare routine for sensitive, acne prone combo skin + a damaged skin barrier

Dr. Althea 345 cream: been using it for over a year and it’s honestly one of my favourite moisturisers. Helped my skin barrier so much!!!
Dr. Althea 345 mist: been using it for 6 months and I love spraying it throughout the day when I’m out.
Anua Milky Toner: it’s lightweight, hydrating and it leaves my skin feeling so soft.
Dr. Althea green tea SPF: my FAVOURITE SPF! Most other spfs that i’ve tried in the past made my skin look greasy, but this one sits so nicely.
Round Lab Cleansers: I love their cleansers! I use the Pine Cica cleanser 2x a week and the Dokdo cleanser every morning and night

PSA for Korean Skincare Purchases

So I just noticed how inflated the prices for Korean skincare is when it comes to purchasing from StyleKorean, SkinSeoul, Yesstyle, etc.. we need to pay more attention to what the regular price is because it’s Prime Day and I was going back and forth between websites and I noticed Amazon has the best prices and even their regular prices are still less than the sales price on other websites. I noticed a moisturizer was $22 regular but $16 on sale but the other websites has it for $33 plus you still have to pay the customs fees. Just wanted to share.

every moisturizer makes my face feel trapped an my eyes sting.

Hi everyone. I have a huge problem with moisturizers mostly but also sunscreen, my skin feels trapped, I feel like something heavy is on my face even when I use very lightweight products. my eyes feel stingy and sleepy and tired a bit, even though I don't use them near the eye, but they vaporize apparently and affect my eyes anyway.

I'm so tired of spending money on different things and only using them once. the last thing I bought was Cosrx oil free Ultra moisterizer. I still had this problem and had to wash it out. I also have this problem with boj sunscreen. I'm going to try mineral sunscreens but for moisturizer I'm just lost, everything I tried had this issue.

do you have any suggestions? and also do you think it is okay to use Tirtir light toner a bit more and treat it as a moisturizer? because I think maybe moisturizer is really not for me, the toner I feel does a better job without bothering me.

my skin is combination and sensitive a bit. it gets dry on other parts, oily on T-zone.

Help my 52 year old Mother!

Hi all!

My mom, 52, is feeling really down about her skin. I think that she is absolutely gorgeous, and many people think that she is younger than she really is.. but she has some of the typical signs of aging, i.e fine lines, looser skin, spots and some dullness. Her skin is also on the dryer side, and she isn’t too sensitive to most ingredients.

She is going to start using tretinoin, but otherwise her routine is pretty well non-existent.

So, if you could create a routine for her, what products would you recommend? I’m thinking cleanser, serum, moisturizer, and spf.. but anything you can think of will be appreciated!

We’re also aware that, truthfully, the only thing to REALLY make a difference would be the more invasive treatments.. but I know that skincare would be a start!

Any and all help and advice is appreciated. What are your HGs for aging skin? Thank you so much!
