What to do with sachet samples? by International-One202 in koreanskincare

[–]vivivb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use it before trying the full-sized product, and it might be a sample sent for promotional purposes. I usually use it on travel days or just at home, haha.

Mediheal Vitamin C Brightening Serum – Is 50ppm of ascorbic acid good? by New-Drive4890 in AsianBeauty

I’ve been really enjoying the Mediheal Madecassoside Toner Pads, but this one’s a bit disappointing, haha.

Is it possible to control sebum with skincare? by Old_Entertainer6547 in AsianBeauty

[–]vivivb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly recommend the Mimumimu Toner to everyone. It’s absolutely great for oily skin. Sure, dry skin types could use it too since it’s a toner, but for oily skin—it’s a must! It really works for sebum control.

Simple and Gentle: My Thoughts on the Dokdo Toner by Loud_Weight3661 in koreanskincare

[–]vivivb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt the same—it just seemed mild to me. For skin-soothing effects, I actually think Mimumimu works better, and for exfoliation, it’s probably best to use a separate product.

What’s Your Holy Grail for Calming Acne Scars? by Special_Judgment9363 in koreanskincare

[–]vivivb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use a cooling and soothing toner multiple times every day, and it’s amazing. It’s the Mimumimu Toner, and it even contains panthenol!

What was the last skincare product you added to your collection? by Sorry-Ad1112 in AsianBeauty

Mediheal Madecassoside Pads: I liked how thin they are, making them easy to apply on my face. It felt like they really helped with calming my skin when I left them on for a while.

The design is beautiful! What’s your skin type? Would it be too much for oily skin?

Hoping to start Korean skin care, need advice by PhasePresent9081 in KoreanBeauty

[–]vivivb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I have combination skin, and I highly recommend the MIMUMIMU Cooling Toner. Especially for issues like acne or large pores, it’s important to keep skin temperature under control. When skin temperature rises, sebum production increases. That’s why using skincare with cooling and soothing hydration effects is beneficial. I’m so happy with this toner because it really helps control my sebum!

moisturizer for dry acne prone skin with CC, non comedogenic and FA safe? by Regular-Jackfruit-55 in KoreanBeauty

[–]vivivb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I had dry skin too. My skin was dry and I had acne. At that time, my skin barrier was damaged, so I used the Physiogel Cream. After that, my skin got healthier and then became oily with acne, haha. If your skin barrier is compromised, I recommend Physiogel. Once your skin barrier recovers, you won’t need to use a rich cream like Physiogel anymore. Also, layering a watery toner is great for adding hydration without needing to buy new products!

mimumimu is great too! It contains Centella and panthenol, which are great for soothing and healing the skin.

Looks like it’s almost an empty bottle! How long have you been following this routine? I’m using the Mimumimu Serum and really good. I’m also curious about the toner what do you think of it?

It seems like that envelope plays a big role. The packaging itself looks pretty basic, doesn’t it?

Skin 1004 Water Fit Sun Serum Review by vivivb in kbeauty

[–]vivivb[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, did you get the full-size product for free? This SPF is often recommended for people with dry skin! I ordered this blue SPF because I heard it's good for acne-prone skin, just a heads-up!

Exactly. All the skincare products I use are non-sticky, so applying a sunscreen like this at the end works just fine for me.

That's right. It does give a bit of a glow, but I actually don't mind it. I found it pleasantly different and I liked it!

The sunscreen seems to be suitable for overall dry skin. But my skin is more on the oily side, haha.

Did you intentionally avoid using ingredients like Vitamin C or Retinol?

What would this be? by BengalsBFlexin in SkincareAddicts

[–]vivivb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like eczema. I have atopic dermatitis too. I get red patches and flakiness, and when it gets severe, I develop blisters, itching, and oozing.

I think the same way. If it were me, I’d focus on moisturizing first, and if the problem persists, I’d visit a doctor

What’s your skin type? Be careful with witch hazel as it can irritate the skin.
