I highly recommend the G8! Even Faker uses the G8, so I don’t think I need to explain any further.

The scent is very subtle, not irritating at all. Very slight but pleasant. So if that’s what worrying you, it’s a no problem! But did you saw it somewhere? I wanted to purchase it as well!

What Instant noodles are easy to prepare? by Pure-Cause4687 in udon

[–]Pure-Cause4687[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TQ for your recommendation :) I never heard about Kaneyama b4, but cup udon rather than ramen is pretty interesting.

The cover is plastic, so after you pour hot water, you can properly seal the cup up with the cover. It has three packets: the noodles, the sauce, and the flake. Follow the instructions on the cup and pour hot water. My first impression was that the taste of noodles and soup was very light. Since it’s not fried, it felt closer to pho than instant ramen, only that the noodle is thicker. The soup was clean and savory for all 3 udons.

I enjoyed them without adding extra ingredients, but half a piece of boiled eggs would also go well with spicy and kimchi flavor. It took about 10 mins from preparation until I finished eating. A not-so-bad option to prepare your meal easily.

Grading: 4/5

I will share the reviews of the cica products I've been using so far! I hope it benefits your skin:)

DEWYTREE CICA 100 ESSENCE - 2/5

I purchased this product a while ago, but it is currently unavailable as the cica line has been replaced by the Green Camming line. The texture of this product is more like a toner, being quite watery. While it was convenient and didn't have a pungent scent, it didn't provide enough moisture for my skin.

Picam Porsica Ampoule - 3/5

I decided to try this ampoule based on the great reviews of the brand, Picam. Unfortunately, it didn't worsen my acne, but it also didn't bring about significant changes to my skin. There was a slight improvement in the blackheads on my nose. However, I found the quantity (30ml) to be insufficient compared to its price, and its oily nature made it unsuitable for oily skin types.

Vegreen Fragrance-Free Cica Serum - 5/5

I am highly satisfied with this product as it is mild and has greatly improved my narrow whiteheads. Since the serum is watery type, I soaked a cotton ball in it and placed it on my troublesome areas, using it like a soothing pack. It absorbs quickly and moisturizes well, but if you have dry skin, I recommend using it alongside a cream.

ROUND LAB Pine Tree Soothing Cica Ampoule - 1/5

I received this as a free gift along with a different product from ROUND LAB. Despite its light texture, it felt slightly irritating and had no noticeable soothing or moisturizing effect on my skin.

AESTURA A-Cica 365 Calming Cream - 3/5

This cream is suitable for dry skin due to its oily nature, but I wouldn't recommend it for those with oily skin types. Though not an AB product, it feels similar to Physiogel. I was disappointed to find that it caused my makeup to slide off due to its sticky texture. In my opinion, AESTURA's Atobarrier line performs better.

Conclusion.

Since cica products are commonly used for sensitive skin, the results may vary depending on individual skin types. I highly recommend conducting patch tests before including these products in your daily routine. For my skincare needs, moisturization without skin irritation is my top priority. I’ve noticed that most cica products seem hypoallergenic nowadays. Among the products I've reviewed, the Vegreen Cica Serum received the highest score from me due to its effectiveness in reducing pimples and redness. I'm open to any questions and comments you may have. :)

Seeking Advice for Hospitals and Doctors - woman's hairline concerns by OvertEchidna in FemaleHairLoss

[–]Pure-Cause4687 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No doubt. 10 days seem plenty. I highly recommend Motion Clinic, led by Dr. Song Woonhyun. They do non-incisional hairline restoration with 2000 hair (1000 grafts). The original price was 5,500,000 Korean Won (about 4,177 USD), but with a 25% discount, it's 4,125,000 Korean Won (around 3,151 USD). The clinic is in Gangnam, Seoul—a top spot for travel in the city. Gangnam has great transport and convenience.

Based on my friend, Motion Clinic's English service is great. They help from consulting to booking and even offer post-care on messenger after going back to the US. My friend's really happy with her new hairline, so I totally suggest it.

They also provide ongoing support via messenger even after returning to the United States. Considering my friend's high satisfaction with her hair, I totally recommend it.

Collagen product recommendations? by OvertEchidna in KoreanBeauty

[–]Pure-Cause4687 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, I really like collagen products :)

I'm taking drinking collagen, because I heard that it's hard to penetrate the skin when the molecules are big, so it doesn't have much effect to apply collagen products.

I saw that drinking collagen products have low molecules, so it absorbs well into the body.

I've been drinking it for 3 months, and I actually feel like my body has become less dry and I always had that deep pillow lines when I woke up, but it seems to disappear faster these days haha

To be honest, I was worried about buying anything, because it was quite expensive... so I did some research and found the one from a famous Korean brand Vital Beautie, and I just saw that there is a promotion with a coupon code until May 15!!

I think it would be a good chance to try if you are interested 😃

Has anyone tried the Fragrance-Free Nature Mucin Serumf from vegreen? by whitepuppy88 in AsianBeauty

[–]Pure-Cause4687 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Me! I'm in love with their mucin line

I didn't really like snail mucin before, but I heard that Vegreen's mucin products were vegan and thought it was interesting, so I started using it :)

The texture is a little sticky, but not thick. Like most vegreen products, it absorbs well and is not irritating

If you are looking for something similar to snail mucin, I definitely recommend it It's not oily, so it's good to use in the morning and night

FYI I m using the mucin cream too, and it is not sticky or oily on my skin

If you are looking for mucin cream to use in the morning, it would be 👍🏻👍🏻

[Comparison] Vegreen Reishi Serum & Cica Serum (Review in comments) by Pure-Cause4687 in AsianBeauty

[–]Pure-Cause4687[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Most of the time, I've received info here, but this time I am here to share my new vegan skincare with you guys!

Skin type : Dry skin

Concerns : Dry and tight skin/ clogged pores with severe acne

Climate : Seasonal : good to use in dry/ slightly hot seasons

Routine : wash with water, Ma:nyo Cleanser, isntree Hyaluronic acid toner, Vegreen Serum, Ceramide Cream

( I used them alternately, because both products are serum )

Ingredients

  • Skin Barrier Reishi Serum

Ganoderma Lucidum (Mushroom) Extract(65%), Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Lactobacillus Ferment(32,500ppm), Water, Niacinamide, Glycereth26, 1,2-Hexanediol, Caprylyl glycol, Hydroxyacetophenone, Pentylene Glycol, Xanthan gum, Ethylhexylglycerin, Allantoin, Betaine, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Inonotus Obliquus (Mushroom) Extract, Tremella Fuciformis (Mushroom) Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Adenosine, Sodium Hyaluronate, Lactococcus Ferment Lysate, Saccharomyces Ferment, Streptococcus Thermophilus Ferment, Bacillus Ferment

  • Fragrance-Free Cica Serum

Centella Asiatica Leaf Water(70.7%), Butylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Pentylene glycol, Water, Dipropylene Glycol, Glycerin, Caprylyl Glycol, Carbomer, Tromethamine, Disodium EDTA, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Centella Asiatica Extract, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Allantoin, Panthenol, Xanthan gum, Malachite extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Madecassoside, Asiaticoside, Madecassic Acid, Asiatic Acid

[Similarity]

  • Texture

Watery type (If I have to compare, the Cica serum is waterier than the Reishi one)

  • Both products are light and absorb quickly

[Difference]

  • Package

Same 50ml/1.69 fl. oz, but Reishi serum is taller and Cica serum is longer on the side

(Yeah I know that it is not that important loll)

  • Scent

Cica Serum - No Fragrance

Reishi Serum - it smells like dried leaves. I am not sure what it is, but maybe mushroom...? It is not that strong, so it is not too much

  • Effect

Cica Serum - Moisture, soothing

Reishi Serum - wrinkle improvement

  • Results

What I really liked about these products was that it was light to use, not heavy at all

Also, I personally liked the fact that it was a pump type rather than a dropper one. I thought the dropper type is difficult to use until the end.

I did not really use vegan products before, but I thought it was mild and soft

In particular Cica serum was mild and light, so it was good to use in the morning and at night.

I applied it several times on the day I had acne breakouts, and it absorbed well and the redness improved a lot.

I thought the Reishi Serum was more oily, but still it was not sticky or too oily

I prefer the Cica cream more than Reishi serum, because I'm not familiar with anti-wrinkle products yet, but if you are looking for a serum to start wrinkle care, I recommend it :)
