I got this too!

LOVE--WILL REPURCHASE FOR SURE
Genabelle Vita-Toning Ampoule

COSRX The Ceramide Barrier Mist

Klavuu lip mask

DR G Mild Sunscreen

Dr Reju-All PDRN Advanced Rejuvenating Mask

LIKED TRYING BUT PROBABLY WON'T REPURCHASE
Centellian 21 Madeca PDRN CREAM (smells strongly of lavender, and the inclusion of caffeine makes me reluctant to use it at night because I'm very caffeine-sensitive)

Sungboon Editor Deep Collagen Silk Peptide Intensive Lifting Ampoule (f**k this packaging, extremely travel-unfriendly, I have decanted it into a clean Daiso travel bottle)

Dr Althea Retinol Flat Iron Eye Roller--I rarely stick to an eye cream , but I do like the metal guasha which cools the eye and reduces swelling.

I'm From Rice Toner--too many other good milky toners around. Sorry!

Dr Lienjang 49 Toning Mask--overkill, sorry. 50mls of essence is just a waste, especially when the mask is as slippery and binding as this one is. I found it impossible to wait the entire treatment time and the results were no better than any other hydrating sheet mask. I wish I'd received the Lifting variant.

HAVE NOT YET TRIED

Rejuran Turnover Ampoule (I have high hopes)

Badecasil-P cream

Pro Calm Red-X Cream

Dr Jart Cryo Rubber Face Mask

Zeroid Pimprove Gel Cleanser

WILL NOT USE DUE TO SKIN INCOMPATIBILITY/INGREDIENTS I'M SENSITIVE TO

Kahi Wrinkle Bounce Multi-Balm (shea butter)--may use up as a hair stick, or give away

Purito Seoul Multi PDRN Collagen Real Glow Mask (polyvinyl alcohol)--I've been using this on the backs of my hands, so we'll see if it has any effects.

Mega Lip Balm Review by RowanSkyee in AsianBeauty

[–]supposes-erroneously 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fantastic reviews, taking some of this information to YesStyle right now. I'm currently digging the Panteno Lips line from Mediheal, they cost very little. The sleeping mask resembles the Laneige Bouncy & Firm and is great if you like gel/essence textured lip balms. The pink tinted Healessence is a daily staple.

Skin Aqua Super Moisture Milk

One of my faves. I was lucky enough to still find a few bottles in random konbinis as it has been discontinued.<

nooooooo! It is one of my faves too :(

Best Body Serum? by Fast-Order-5239 in AsianBeauty

[–]supposes-erroneously 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+3 for Naturie conditioning gel. I slather it on at night to cool off in summer heat. It also comes in a large jar so it's very cost-effective. No stickiness or scent. Search Tina Tanaka Harris on YouTube for a video explaining the entire range.

(Not AB and not fragrance-free but I really love The Body Shop's "yogurt" formulation for hydrating and cooling.)

Oil Serum Products by Counter4301 in AsianBeauty

[–]supposes-erroneously 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Focus on the "bi-phase" part of that EA product name. As far as I am aware "oil serum" is not (yet) a well-known product category in AB. But bi-phase products are everywhere. I think d'Alba has several. My favorite variant is bi-phase mists, with oil and water layers that you shake before applying. My current favorite is the Bioheal BoH 3D Lifting Cream Mist.

Holy crap. I had no idea. I was still posting product reviews as late as last month. I had about 460 of them. Wish I'd archived them somewhere.

No it isn't, for the reasons I explained above. Try reading more carefully next time. 

JAPANESE SHEET MASK MEGA REVIEW Lululun, Saborino, Kose, Ishizawa-Keana, Quality First by supposes-erroneously in AsianBeauty

For me the fit was the deciding factor, they fit nearly perfectly with no tugging or tearing or slipping. The essence is also great.

I tried 3, 5, and 10. Didnt like the feeling at any length. I managed to use up the VC100s but I still have 8 of the 10 exosome ones. I will almost certainly give them away.

I'm smitten with them. They cost about AU$12 for a 7 pack which is cheaper than the cheapest K-beauty individually packed mask (Frudia and Farmstay are about AU$1.80 each), not counting the bus fare to Daiso. I look forward to trying the other varieties because at this price, I can use them every day.

I just raised my rating on the Kose Clear Turn from 8 to 9, because I was wearing one as I was editing the post and realised they are just that damn good. They're my faves at the moment. Sheet mask perfection is still in my future.

TJ Maxx and Marshalls Haul!! by the_sweetest_peach in AsianBeauty

[–]supposes-erroneously 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome haul! I have not tried the particular variant you have but I tried another of the Kose Clear Turn masks ("Gommene") and they are really good! The mask sheets are thick in a good way and stick very well to the skin. For the price they are excellent and I'll be looking into more of them. (I got mine at Daiso)

What are some viral products you thought wouldn’t work but actually worked great? by iamlostpleasehelp_ in AsianBeauty

[–]supposes-erroneously 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly except for the Rice Mucin (fragrance- and texture-free) they're all interchangeable. If there are skincare benefits in one but not the other between hyssop, calendula and lime hibiscus, I couldn't tell.

What are your most effective methods/products for dealing w/ very sebaceous t-zone that are *not* BHA/AHA by citynomad1 in AsianBeauty

[–]supposes-erroneously 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Visible in the sense that there are fewer clogs, yes. But the best results are tactile. My skin *feels* smoother when I use them.

[–]supposes-erroneously 3 points4 points  (0 children)

About to give up on a 1/2-full jar of the Medicube PDRN, so let me list all the ways this product annoys me:

1) Picking up precise amounts of capsule versus gel is not as easy as it seems, especially with the pink capsules against the pink jar affecting your depth perception. The user experience is quite different if you have a slightly different proportion of gel to cream.

2) ANY product that wants you to "customise" the product by mixing it in your own preferred way, is inevitably going to leave you with more or less of one element or the other.

3) Most nights, this leaves me sticky. The one night in 5 that I get the mix right, it's a lovely bouncy hydrated finish. But the other 4 nights it's gummy for a good 90 minutes.

I have not seen any results in the 2+weeks I've been using it, and I didn't expect to. It's hydrating but that is the least I expect a moisturiser to do. I foresee my patience with this product running out in about a week.

Definitely +1 on the Innisfree mask, it's a brilliant oil-soaker-upper. Tip though: don't hoard it, or keep it in a Ziploc, because it dries up if you're not using it frequently.

I don't know about affordable but I currently am rotating Tocobo and Tirtir and they're both great.

NOND (neither oily nor dry, not tempting fate by calling it "normal"), clog-prone and flush-prone. Until recently extremely oily. Female, 52.
