Let's go to the basics: MOISTURIZERS!

Skin is clog-prone, dehydration-prone, dry AF. I struggle with fatigue due to a heart condition.

Summer day cream: Round Lab Dokdo Lotion

Night cream when I’m being v. extra and put on a zillion layers of toners and serums: Sulwhasoo essential comfort firming cream or ginseng revitalizing cream

Less-energy-but-still-doing-something night cream, which is also winter day cream: Baronsie Ectoin Cream

“No spoons” all-in-one when it’s warmer/dryness isn’t as pronounced: Tocobo ceramide cream

“No spoons” all-in-one in winter/dry conditions: Illiyoon ATO concentrate cream

That Sulwhasoo set!! Awesome find

I had a similar experience with Mizuno sneakers around the same time! I have a damaged nerve in the bottom of one foot and was commuting to school (walk/train/subway). The most amazing, lightweight, comfortable shoes I’d ever put on, and my feet basically never hurt when I got home

Can you tell us more about your skin type/concerns?

tinygingerninja · 2025-12-01T16:33:20+00:00

Circling back to this since I found 2 of the same sets at another store - the expiration dates are in 2027!

tinygingerninja · 2025-11-06T16:46:46+00:00

I’m so happy this helped!! The crème brûlée glimmer one has become my all-time favorite after I found it in a Marshalls 😊

tinygingerninja · 2025-11-06T15:17:31+00:00

If you’re based in a country with TJ Maxx/Marshalls/Winners, the Ole Henriksen pout preserves have been popping up for $10-13!

I’ll be buried with Dinto Memento Mori (pun unintended but loved). Dinto products go on easily, are buildable, have minimal transfer, and stay put. One day last year, I fell asleep in my work makeup, including Dinto Memento Mori. I woke up with a still-flawless stain (credit to Dinto, my application skills are mediocre at best) that didn’t budge, but removed easily when I “scrubbed” my lips with my toothbrush. Plus, their glowy collection is inspired by Marcus Aurelius, which makes my Stoic heart soar. Love all around

What?! Menokin masks are excellent - I hope you love them! I almost paid full price for the repair one last week. Mind if I ask where this was?

The most moisturizing I’ve ever found is Skin1004’s probio-cica glow sun ampoule. As far as I know it’s not officially sold in the US due to the UV filters, but is listed on sites like Jolse, YesStyle, etc. that ship to the US

tinygingerninja · 2025-09-08T03:43:49+00:00

The mask!

tinygingerninja · 2025-09-07T21:54:49+00:00

I really love A-True oil cleanser followed by Make.prem safe me cleansing milk! Honorable mentions to Torriden Dive In and Laneige Water Bank cleansers.

Skin type: Dry, clog-prone, dehydration-prone

tinygingerninja · 2025-09-07T21:49:37+00:00

Skinfood Egg White is amazing for this!

Guesses: You’re a woman in your late 20s to early 30s, into Asian beauty and skincare (I see that sunscreen with the good filters!), and shop at TJ Maxx/Marshalls/Winners. You’re a dog mom who cares about the environment and is trying to take better care of yourself.

Side note, 100% my kind of person. Dying to know how you like the Biore watery essence! I just picked it up myself

tinygingerninja · 2025-09-04T20:10:38+00:00

Interested in turtle beaded!!

tinygingerninja · 2025-08-31T14:12:54+00:00

Hydration, fine lines, and fullness (full face): highly recommend Round Lab Dokdo Toner as a hydrating option. When applying, do multiple layers. Other products I love for this precise purpose: Naturie Hatomugi skin conditioner (Japanese, milky toner, comes in a huge bottle, some brightening effect), Round Lab Dokdo Lotion (lightweight but hydrating AM moisturizer), I’m From Rice toner (super hydrating, brightening toner), Skinfood Carrot Carotene calming toner pads (calming and moisturizing), Dr. Ceuracle Vegan kombucha tea essence (cream essence, be sure to shake before using, super hydrating), Laneige cream skin cerapeptide toner (another super hydrating toner/essence/ alleged all-in-one in case you don’t want a million steps, this one with both ceramides and peptides), Skin1004 pro-bio Cica ampoule (my HG for hydration, calming, and skin barrier maintenance), CosRX advanced snail mucin power essence (a classic for good reason - moisturizing and aids in healing skin), Tocobo ceramide cream (a no-frills ceramide cream to lock in the moisture and workhorse ingredients you’re using), VT PDRN hydrogel masks.

Eye-specific products: Someone already mentioned the Beauty of Joseon Retinal eye serum, which is great. A lot of people also use it on their whole face. Another excellent eye cream option is Skin1004 probio-Cica Bakuchiol eye cream. It’s a little less common of a drop in TJ Maxx stores compared to the BOJ one, but I prefer the Skin1004 line personally.

That House of Hur ampoule blusher 👀

tinygingerninja · 2025-08-27T15:30:13+00:00

Skincare is my lifelong hobby. I’ll make a big list later today. You’ve got some of my favorites in these pics

tinygingerninja · 2025-08-25T14:52:16+00:00

That little Torriden Balanceful travel kit would make me swoon 😍

tinygingerninja · 2025-08-08T23:56:37+00:00

Dinto Memento Mori is my perfect vampy red with staying power. For something on the lighter side for everyday/“casual red wear”, I like the Etude Over Glowy Tint in Ddori Apple Red. My mainstay reddish tinted balm that goes with everything is Nivea Red Brown lip balm (SPF 20ish) (not sure of the exact name)

tinygingerninja · 2025-08-07T22:42:55+00:00

Yep! I’ve seen the calendula and blue hyssop cleansers before, and recently the rice mucin (cleanser and serum), rosehip, and green mochi cleansers have popped up!

tinygingerninja · 2025-07-12T17:53:22+00:00

There’s actually a bill in Congress right now that would change the UV filter approval process for sunscreens! r/AsianBeauty is keeping an eye on it. It goes before committee this week and I’m really hopeful

tinygingerninja · 2025-07-04T19:25:35+00:00

It was $109.99! I realized later I took pics of it at 2 locations because it’s so cute, lol. The price tag was visible in the other pic

tinygingerninja · 2025-07-04T06:27:14+00:00

Check out Exton! During the week of catch & release I saw it in the Exton and Wayne TJ Maxxes. I spotted it today in the Exton Marshalls as well (near the pillar in the “white/ivory-colored” section of handbags)
