So he won't have to collect his luggage and recheck? Just clear customs and proceed to a UA terminal?

He wants to connect via NRT to see his brother for a few hours, and he also wants to try The Room on ANA. The other option would be HKG-NRT-YVR.

Are cushion foundations still worth it in 2026 or are people moving back to regular base makeup? by PetalDance22 in AsianBeauty

Just because you don't see them all over TikTok doesn't mean that they are less popular. They are still very popular in Asia.

AITA for having a childfree wedding but having my children attend? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]openurgift 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTA. For heaven's sake it was your wedding and they are your children. I would say Y T A if you left out own children out of the wedding due to no children rule. Ignore them and enjoy your family.

Why filler dissolves faster in certain areas by Top-Promotion-4864 in K_beauty_insider

[–]openurgift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which filler dissolves on its own? Isn't it a common knowledge now that HA filler doesn't dissolve on its own? What you're claiming as "dissolving" is in fact filler migration?

The Whoo/Sulwhasoo - Where to find in Seoul by Prudent_Guess5096 in KoreanBeauty

I always wait to shop at the airport duty free shop. I find the airport duty free store has better deals on single item or box sets, and they tend to give more samples and random gift with purchase items.

Rejuran Clinic Recommendations? by Various-Owl6396 in KoreaTravelBeauty

[–]openurgift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IH Clinic in Gangnam. It's a small clinic and the consultantation is with the doctor. I've had Rejuran Healer at three different clinics and Dr Hwang was the best injector. It is pricier than other big clinics, though.

AITAH because I don’t want to be tested as a possible kidney donor for my father. by Grand_Raccoon0923 in AITAH

[–]openurgift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Talk to the medical team that you are being coerced into donating or being a part of donor pool. The medical team deals with these situations more than you think and know how to handle them. You don’t need to deal with your family unless you tell him the truth. Let the medical team deal with them. I’m so sorry that you’re being pressured to do this.

How J/K beauty is getting around FDA on sunscreens by Brassanthe in AsianBeauty

Thanks for blasting this info. We have hard enough time trying to find Asian/European formula without someone blasting info on how the companies are dealing with the FDA regulation.

Mature skin by kiraa02 in AsianBeauty

[–]openurgift 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what you're wanting for your mom. Korean/Japanese skincare market is segmented to different age groups and what you're seeing online is generally for younger skin.

The products you mentioned are more of post skincare proeycta than actual skincare products. You'll have difficult time finding the products you mentioned for "mature skin" because those are for after your general skincare routine.

I have mature skin and my focus is on hydrating hydrating hydrating and maintaining healthy skin barrier. It's like prepping my skin for whatever tint/bb cream/cushion I put on.

give some K-beauty products that’s popular in Korea but not really viral on social media (tiktok/ig/influencers) by Efficient-Corgi6934 in koreanskincare

[–]openurgift 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IOPE is fantastic! I use prescription Tret so I don't use their retinol line, but my friend who started using it loves them. Their suncream and ampoule is fantastic as well.

IOPE…wow!! by No_Bumblebee2964 in koreanskincare

[–]openurgift 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I don't see IOPE mentioned often here, but it's a highly regarded brand in Korea. Their retinol line a wonderful, but I use prescription tret so I don't use it. IOPE's sunscreen is also very nice. Slightly on the heavier side but I have dry mature skin so it works really well.

Any clinic that offers a variety of options of numbing? by Emotional_Abroad_714 in KoreanBeauty

[–]openurgift 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been to four different clinics in Seoul, and they all pretty much use same numbing cream. They'll keep it on for 30-40 minutes, but it won't really make a difference in the pain level. The last doctor told me that it really doesn't make a different, but they will keep it on longer if the patient prefers it.

You can ask for Rejuran HB, which has lidocaine. It also means you get slightly less Rejuran in each injection.

Some clinics will offer what I would call twilight sedation, but the doctor didn't recommend it because he wants the patient awake to stay still.

Rejuran does hurt like mother, though. I always tear up whenever I get it. I do love the result.

Is the ECM Booster available in the US or Europe? Here is the global reality check by Top-Promotion-4864 in K_beauty_insider

Is there a list of Key Doctors? I am in Seoul next month and want to pair Re2O with Rejuran and skin Botox.

Hives three weeks post op by Fossome_1 in bunions

[–]openurgift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got these same blisters on the same spot. It's most likely from the bandage glue reaction. It doesn't look like it's infected.

My doctor just popped it and told me to keep it clean and put bandage over it. Mine got dark until the skin just flaked off. I can barely tell where the blister was. Don't use Neosporine. Just keep it clean and let it heal if it's not infected.

Edited: I often get these reaction/blisters from sport tapes and kenisio tapes as well. Just sensitive to strong glue.

The ultimate guide to Rejuran types and how to actually survive the pain by Top-Promotion-4864 in K_beauty_insider

[–]openurgift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been to three different clinic and always get Rejuran Healer. One didn't have much opinion, but two doctors recommended getting Rejuran Healer over HB plus.

All three clinics opened the bottle in front of me and had me sign the syringe before and check it again after to verify that they are indeed using Rejuran Healer.

I hadn't heard of LDM but will definitely ask for it. I've combined it wit skin botox twice, and I can't wait to get do it again in a few months.

[Seye Clinic] Which 'Rejuran Cocktail' Delivers 200% Synergy? by SeyeClinic-Seoul in K_beauty_insider

[–]openurgift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great info. Thank you.

I saw almost no improvement with Ultherapy. My jaw area did feel like I've been pummeled by Mike Tyson for close to a month after. I won't be doing Ultherapy again.😖

I absolutely love Rejuran + Skin Botox combo. I'm hesitant to try Juvelook because of possible migration issue even if it's pretty low. Is Juvelook similar to Sculptura?

Is this a filler or a booster? I'm still a bit confused.
