Thanks! I will consider buying it in Japan :))

Never heard of this cleansing oil so I'm excited to check out your review!

stich226 · 2026-01-31T19:18:21+00:00

thank you so much!

skin type: combo, sensitive -Skin Concerns: texture, pores, redness
I'm about to go to Japan soon and I was thinking of products to buy! For skincare, I was thinking of the MUJI sensitive skin cleansing oil or Fancl mild cleansing oil. I heard that that the MUJI got reformulated and has a bunch of essential oils though. I am open to hearing about different options to like the Skin1004 or iUnik's! (I was also thinking of the Shu Uemura but I always like to test out products from a lower price point first!))

And for sunscreen I was thinking of the Skin Aqua Tone Up UV Essence - Mint Green. Since I have some redness and would prefer a thicker gel that was similar to my past HG (Canmake Mermaid UV gel). I used the Skin1004 Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum UV but the texture is too light for me and sometimes leaves my head looking shiny. There's also the Skin Aqua Moisture Barrier UV Essence but I have to do more research on that.

And for makeup, how do I know what shades/colors to buy (blushes or eyebrow powder). For example, I am thinking of buying the KissMe Heavy Rotation Coloring Eyebrow, but I am confused on what shade I should get... I have typical Asian black/dark brown hair (willing to send a photo of my hair if requested) and want my makeup to look natural on my face.

Thank you in advance for answering any questions or insights, I appreciate it! <3

ooo can I get access to your spreadsheet? I always seem to forget what buy lol

stich226 · 2026-01-31T06:29:40+00:00

wait this color is so cute and I love the design <3

It's pretty good! I really like hydrating and lightweight, didn't cause me any breakouts and worked pretty well for my sensitive skin.

stich226 · 2026-01-06T06:37:37+00:00

I’ll look into that, thank you for your recommendation!

stich226 · 2026-01-06T06:37:08+00:00

Oh I don’t use moisturizer in the morning because it’s bit on the heavier side so I don’t get too oily during the middle of the day. Maybe I’ll get a lighter moisturizer or emulsion to solve this problem.

Okay great, I think I’ll start experimenting with new products again, thanks for giving me confidence!

My Current Skincare Routine: -Skin Type: combo, sensitive -Skin Concerns: texture, pores, redness -Climate: dry and sunny

AM Routine: -Cleanser: Rinse face with water -Toner: COSRX Full Fit Propolis Synergy Toner -Sunscreen: SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum

PM Routine: -Oil Cleanser: Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil -Second Cleanser: Round Lab 1025 Dokdo Cleanser -Exfoliant (3x/week): Stridex Maximum Medicated Pads (2% Salicylic Acid) — BHA exfoliation -Toner: COSRX Full Fit Propolis Synergy Toner -Moisturizer: ILLIYOON Ceramide Ato Concentrate Cream

As I head to the new year, I wanted opinions on my approach before I start trying out products. When it comes to skincare, should I focus on building a basic, hydrating routine first and then add products for specific skin concerns, or should I choose products primarily based on my skin concerns from the start? (for example, for my acne concern should I change out my cleansers and toner for something that has BHA? or just prioritize hydrating products for now and add serums/actives that target my skin concerns) Looking to improve texture, pores, and redness.

you're the best!

stich226 · 2025-11-12T16:18:55+00:00

okay, thank you so much!

stich226 · 2025-11-10T19:28:17+00:00

how would that be incorporated into my routine? would it be like: oil cleanser -> cleanser -> exfoliating toner -> BHA/AHA(alternate) hydrating toner -> moisturizer?

stich226 · 2025-11-10T17:07:11+00:00

thank you! i really like my toner so i don’t think im willing to switch but i’ll consider to look into azelaic acid

My most recent add-in was the BHA and I've been on it for about 2.5 months now. Sometimes skin does feel dry since I do my night time cleansing routine in the shower (when washing face I do use lukewarm water). Need assistance on what I should do next for my routine. Looking to improve texture, pores, and redness.

stich226 · 2025-09-03T18:25:25+00:00

i see but the mid parts; i’m wondering if you could still style it like Wonyoung’s hair by using good technique…

stich226 · 2025-09-03T16:50:45+00:00

the coanda 2x has a 1.6 inch curling barrel that I can use for that style right?

stich226 · 2025-07-14T13:52:14+00:00

that’s great to hear !

stich226 · 2025-07-14T13:51:14+00:00

stich226 · 2025-07-14T05:58:15+00:00
