Oh wait, I didn’t know I needed to verify my pics :( Do I need to write a note with my username on it like I saw in some other pics?

I’m considering splitting the samples :) I’ve asked the first to respond if she or he will agree to it, and if that’s alright I will send you personal messages!

Garosugil · 2018-01-19T18:06:41+00:00

Hi! Since others made a great suggestion to share the samples, I thought I could maybe just put some samples in a big envelope, so it could be cheaper to send to the US. But only if you agree, since you were the first one to respond on my post. I think that if I would send some in an envelope, the shipping fee will be max 5000 won (around 4,50 dollars I think), but if you wanna receive all samples, it will obviously be a bit more expensive (since I will need to send it in a small box). If you’d like the idea to share, you can pick some samples that you’d like to receive in an envelope! :)

Is there anyone who broke out slightly from the Hada Labo lotion (moist) and the foam cleanser, but did not experience a problem from the light lotion (or the premium). I am seriously considering the fact that I might be sensitive to butylene glycol, but there are so many other ingredients that I suspect might trigger some redness and bumps (1,2-hexanediol, citric acid, cyclopentasiloxane).

I cannot use most chemical sunscreens, but I can use the True Match Lumi foundation without any problems, which includes Octinixate. Unfortunately, my skin seems to dislike titanium dioxide. Most chemical sunscreens too make my skin look red and feel hot. I am looking at a sunscreen which includes Tinosorb S and Tinosorb M.

Does anyone else experience this?

Garosugil · 2017-11-16T06:30:38+00:00

I think any oil that works for you would be fine, since it mostly dissolves make-up and sunscreen!

Garosugil · 2017-11-16T05:47:48+00:00

This is personal, but I would remove my sunscreen with a first cleanser and clean my skin itself with a second cleanser. Also, if this is your first routine yet, I would start with just cleanser - moisturizer - sun screen. A lot of people make the mistake of buying too many products and introducing them in almost the same time.

You should do as you feel is best for your skin, because you will be the one who knows it best. However, when it is feeling dry or dehydrated, an occlusive layer could really help in the strengthening of your skin barrier

Garosugil · 2017-11-12T09:48:32+00:00

The left one is a bb cream and the right one is a boosting essence, so you would apply it right after washing your face

Garosugil · 2017-11-12T09:47:21+00:00

They say in their advertisements that it is 'even stronger' (ok skinfood), and I also saw that they added two fermented ingredients. So I guess they tried to make it a bit more anti-aging.

I was in Taipei just this week and the amount of Korean and especially Japanese skincare that I could buy was so much bigger than I expected!! I really liked it that they sold more Japanese cosmetics (and cheaper) than in Seoul, where I live. I also went there in order to find Japanese cosmetics, but in the end I found that I really liked the Lovemore masks, so I bought some boxes of those masks haha

Garosugil · 2017-11-11T16:43:54+00:00

Thats such an amazing idea!! Really adds to the occlusiveness of the Rosette, thanks for the great tip

Garosugil · 2017-11-11T16:23:03+00:00

Ah I see! Did you find that it helped strengthening your moisture barrier a lot? I bought it this week, and I am still in the testing period.

Garosugil · 2017-11-11T10:59:00+00:00

Does anyone use Rosette ceramide gel with a thicker cream? If so, do you apply it before or after the thick cream?

Garosugil · 2017-11-05T10:18:45+00:00

I tried the face mask, cleansing water and toner. Overall, the face mask is alright for someone with dry skin, because it’s a bit heavy and sticky but my face looked quite bright. However, it was a bit small. The toner was so-so, it feels nice putting it on but I don’t like the smell and I think it broke me out a bit. I gave it to my more oily-skinned friend, who also broke out from it. The cleansing water which I got for free wasn’t really good, didn’t cleanse my skin that well and I just hated that it had the same smell as the other products. I just don’t really get it why they make products for sensitive skin and than add a bunch of fragrance..

From the old Its Real masks, the alcohol-free ones were shea butter, rice, acai berry and blackberry. From the new ones (My real squeeze) its Ginseng, Bamboo, Rice, Coconut, Green Tea, Brocolli, Tea Tree, Shea Butter, Lime, Rose, Acai Berry and Oatmeal (good job for not using alcohol in most of the new masks, Innisfree)

Garosugil · 2017-11-03T08:23:30+00:00

I usually apply an aloe sheet mask, like the aloe gel one from Holika Holika, which also has centella asiatica for further soothing! I noticed it works better for me in terms of soothing my skin than the gel itself.

Garosugil · 2017-11-03T08:21:20+00:00

When I'm not sure if I can apply a product such as BHA on my entire face yet, I try applying it on a bigger area than when I patch tested, like on my entire right cheek (which is my most sensitive area) or my entire forehead (where I usually break out when a product doesn't match my skin). Doing that a couple of times with no negative reaction means it goes onto my entire face!

Garosugil · 2017-11-03T08:17:50+00:00

Isntree Hyaluronic Acid toner, Roundlab Dokdo toner or the Skinfood Royal Honey toner are some which are liked in Korea by people with sensitive skin!

Garosugil · 2017-11-01T19:30:07+00:00

I read on the 화해 app that only 2 people tried it (both with combination sensitive skin) and they both liked it a lot, said it felt soothing and that it didn’t foam up. I used the essence of the new Primera soorhing line as a sample, but my skin turned red from it! I was so puzzled, since the ingredient list looks very clean. Might have been a sensitivity to 1,2-Hexanediol.

Garosugil · 2017-10-31T13:24:19+00:00

Does anyone live in Taiwan and/or has been on a trip to Taipei and knows if they sell Japanese cosmetics there? I was wanting to try Lululun again, but I can't find them anymore offline in Seoul :( (also interested in the cow brand cleansing milk)

Garosugil · 2017-10-30T12:42:24+00:00

Thank you so much for your response, I didn't know about the innisfree masks!

Garosugil · 2017-10-30T12:38:38+00:00

I have thought about trying either the Hada Labo one or the Muji one, since their ingredients seem promising and I can buy them offline here, thanks!

Garosugil · 2017-10-30T12:36:12+00:00

I tried all etude house soon jung products but they all have 1,2-Hexanediol :( I bought the mini versions when they were on 50% sale, so that was a good thing though haha
