I think Purito handled the sunscreen scandal better than some other brands, but they got the bulk of the anger. They really do have some great products. Many blessings!💖💖💖
I 100% agree! Purito trusted their manufacturer, which…can’t say I blame them. And then did the right thing when it came out. Meanwhile Keep Cool did not keep their cool at all (I can’t remember the other brand that raised a fuss, but not everyone was a class act about it!)
The Purito thing instantly reminded me of that one astronaut meme, something like: Consumer - It's less centella? Purito, standing behind them - Always has been 👈🌎
Not to mention that a lot of these herbs have benefits in under 1% extracts and are cytotoxic in higher concentrations but I blame the market for competing with percentages having consumers believe more is more.
Exactly!! More isn’t always more, but marketing really has some folks convinced. I bet you could find people who would just love to use a 10% tretinoin cream (in case anyone doesn’t know: no. Don’t. Don’t do this.)
I notice that it's kind of the trend where people who can research things with Google now get better as consumers but they still don't know the nuances of formulation so they get angry when they hear extract or lower percentage of actives. I like the comparison video, I think it's fun too!
Alice, would you please do a video on the Booster Pro where you really break down the best way to use the device in each mode? I often feel like I may not be using it correctly and haven’t found a solid video that has helped me.
@AliceintheRabbitHole if you do this video, could you please mention rewetting with toner to use the Booster for the full 5 mins? I got different answers from the company and it is the easiest way for me to use the booster without my product pilling.
The Purito serum is a Holy Grail so 🤞🏻 it's just as good. I bought 2 during YesStyles fest sale. Also I love how you are always committed to the bit 🤣🤣
I always love the Purito Unscented Centella Serum and Toner. It's a holy grail for me and was my very first favorite Kbeauty toner and serum. I am excited to try the new Wonder Releaf line! I would love to hear your thoughts about the new Purito Wonder Releaf Centella Sun Lotion and the updated Daily Soft Touch (which claims to be water resistant, sweat resistant.) The first Daily Soft Touch Sunscreen version was so good. I hope the new version did not mess it up.
Omg you have exactly my thoughts with that sunscreen. I admit I’m worried LOL. Hopefully it is a step up though; I do like the idea of water resistance, as that’s harder to find in k-beauty!
Hi Alice, I personally don't care how much centella extract a product has, I prefer it to have the active ingredients that make up centella such as madecassoside, asiaticoside, etc. That work more powerfully on the skin. Why do you like that Axis-Y cream so much, what difference have you noticed? I hope you have a great week 😘
Agreed! The axis-y is incredibly hydrating. While it’s of course very optional to use eye cream, much less eye cream and serum, the combo is incredible for moisturizing and hydrating the eye area. And axis-y’s works so well at a great price (I caught it for $10.50, and I’m sure we will see close to that sale again!)
Your videos are always fun, Alice! You just have such a great happy vibe and even if I’m not interested in the product, I still watch from beginning to end.💐
Yeah purito was shady in the beginning i feel like they've definitely redeemed themselves with transparency and quality products! I've also tried the new serum and i love it as much if not more than the old version! Really an amazing all arounder serum. Love the standardized ingredients lists being adopted into korean law! We can (more) accurately compare plant ingredient percentages in products, which is ultimately a plus for us consumers! Im also excited to try their new centella sunscreen- looks amazing! Need to try that Axis-y product! P.s. update- skin is loving the Sooryehan black serum and the First Geniture advanced ampoule!
I am SO excited for the change. It’s caused a whole lotta confusion for many folks as western laws already had the active extract stipulation. Exactly as you say, we will all understand our products more! Ooh that’s awesome to hear! I ordered the new sooryehan set from Vana on a 30-day availability ahaha. I really want to try it, but I guess I will be waiting 😅
The Purito line is a must have if one is exploring a new product. After just 1 use (2 tops), it can bring my skin back to normal. I've tried most of their line despite being too rich for my skin and I noticed the creams helped heal my dry hands. I literally went through the winter forgetting to apply hand lotion. I've also wondered what would happen if I put some serum on my scalp. So, you can see why the curiouser curiouser in me needs some type of recovery plan.
Thank you for being such an informed voice. I'm a new subscriber, and I love your honesty and thoroughness! 🙂 (Also, it's really nice to find a UA-camr who shares my neutral, olive-leaning pale skin!)
I have all of them and love all of them. I have the original booster and airships back up in case the pro is not charged. I got them all as presents over a few years and they were wonderful items to use in my routine. I use the app and it incorporates all the tools in a routine except for the original booster and air shot.
5:48 Alice, you’re amazing. How people didn’t get this is strange to me. I didn’t buy k-beauty for a long time specifically because of the labeling issues. Laneige Cream Skin Mist = I’m From Rice toner for (not ingredients).
I hear ya! I saw some folks claim it was misleading, and admittedly it could be seen that way when you directly compare to western. “Why don’t we have 100% cica products in the west!?” But yep, this new labeling is the right call for everyone’s benefit ☺️
Omg I’ve been wanting to try those renewed purito products. I saw their toner in one of James welsh’s vids and I’m itching to get ittttt. Their old serum was def one of my HGs so I wonder how this compares with that centella change
I'm new to the channel, and the spinach example proved I am in the right place. 😂 I am also a dry but acne-prone sensitive girl, so I am going to binge your videos systematically to get ever recommendation you've ever made. 😓
Hello Alice! 💞I agree - comparisons are extremely helpful, and I love your lighting you always look amazing! Omgosh! I have been watching a few of your older videos looking for some more mature skin moisturizers - I found one where you are talking about Chogongjin in a Mature Skin video (that is one brand I want to try next). I digress, I can't believe I have never looked at Innbeauty on Sephora Canada - is the Extreme Cream thick? My dry/combo skin absolutely loves thick creams. I also have your Medicube video update marked to watch again 😃Btw - love your dual hand action using your Medicube devices 🤣 Enjoy your night!🌸💮🌸
The Chogongjin is sooo good, it was such a keeper from that review. I’m now on my second tub! And it’s funny, I don’t know if I would call the extreme cream thick in a conventional sense? But it is still very nourishing, just in a more emollient feeling way ☺️
It stills works in PURITO’s favour, people are talking about it and people will buy it. I just saw their sunscreens on Amazon as I liked the look of the tube and the ingredients were just as good as the other Korean sunscreens in the market. Then read about the scandal but it kinda gave me second thoughts for a second but then read this wasn’t the only brand but numerous other Korean sunscreens were in the same boat but PURITO got most of the flack about it, then they came back three years ago, upgraded over a year ago and upgraded again and bought out the new version on 2nd April 2024. I bought it on Amazon, the orange tube is more for me as it has 10 hour outside protection. So bought that and it does not sting eyes either. So far happy.
I just bought the booster pro a month ago and used your code! Thank you for all your great reviews. I have learned so much. I just purchased the Dr. Dennis Gross LED mask during the Sephora sale also based on your review!
Alice! Hi! I also bought the rebranded Purito serum and I love it because the old one had a fishy smell. I don’t know what happened to the formulation but a lot of us got it and were complaining so I’m glad this new one doesn’t smell bad! I thought about buying the toner as well! but ultimately just grabbed the serum, might try it later down the road though. The spinach demo was hilarious 😂 you always make me laugh! Much appreciated because it was needed. Having a rough week
@@AliceintheRabbitHole well, since I can’t message you anymore, I thought you should know that Instagram disabled my account because I commented on a video of a girl applying a little dot of a newly released sunscreen from a brand page saying that she should apply the correct dose because this isn’t helpful. Apparently, that goes against community guidelines 🙄
Omg this is crazy, my view of Korean skincare has flipped completely! And hilarious analogy with spinach 😂thanks Alice. And btw, are there any updates on SKIN 1004 Probio-Cica Ampoule? I tried looking for a follow-up since the first video where you tried it nearly a year ago but never found anything
I’ve just tried the new Purito sunscreen and love it. It is very similar to the numbuzin and p. Calm ones as well as the haruharu wonder in the yellow tube. It’s almost like they’re made by the same company 😅
I was in LOVE with the old Purito Centella sunscreen (I only wore it in the winter which is a dark and rainy time here) and was so upset it was only 19 spf!! that I stopped buying their products. I did wonder if that sunscreen was more skincare than sun protection (it was) but due to some of your videos last Nov I decided to get a daytime and a nighttime Centella creams to have on hand incase I damage my skin barrier with a TCA peel or my Differen. I also got the cosrx soft comfort Centella which was super thick (thicker than the nighttime Purito’s one). And wouldn’t you know for the first time in 10+ years I burned my skin in 4 spots after a TCApeel! I was so thankful past-me was prepared! Next order I’ll include this new purito serum. (I’m not big on eye creams but during the Nov Ulta sale I bought the pink one you recommended. I like the device but the eye cream is meh so at night I’ve been packing on the cosrx soft comfort which does help with hydration and is much more cost effective!).
Hey Alice. Thank you for doing what you do. Love your work. Could you please review the seabuck thorn cream and other creams from purito. Are they fragrant? Or having essential oils?
I saw that new Purito line on Stylevana recently and it looked interesting, am most interested in the new sunscreen from them. I loved the Farmacy TXA essence, didn't know they released a honey one... it sounds really nice as I like honey and propolis, especially the scent. Although Farmacy is a pricey brand.
Perfect timing. I was going to ask your thoughts on innbeauty extreme cream! Alt of makeup artist have been talking about it. Omg your spinach was the best! Yes so much fun please more of these videos.
I check in with your channel often and have become a fan of the Manyo bifida serum because of you. My husband says he wants you to wear your mushroom hat again! (I love it too and would love to see it again as well!)
I lovee this type of video from you Alice! It looks like the innbeauty one also has mica which would make it look more glowy but only cosmetically, but great comparison to byoma forsure
Great comparison video and as always, I learned a few things. Thank you. The iNNbeauty cream looks divine! It’ll be on my waiting list until I use a few more products up… or not!😅
Purito gets more heat than they deserve, I appreciate how much they try to be transparent through these events. Thanks for covering this! I hadn't heard, appreciate the breakdown of ingredient differences, with props and everything 😅
Well, that’s great. Several of the products that you showed, specifically the Purito unscented serum, are in my repertoire. 😩 the skin 1004 ampoule product is as well.
I’d say it’s a good thing overall! Those products were effective without those high percentage claims, and with the new regulations, we will actually be able to understand the products so much better ☺️
That is a good question! I would say that I am not personally concerned. Preservatives are used at very low levels in skincare products (just what is needed!)
I got my first Stylevana order today finally! It took almost 3 weeks :P Such fun though :) That new Purito came as a gift too, I'll be trying it. I have the Panasonic Vitalift RF and it's awesome. I trust Panasonic more than Medicube and I'm getting amazing results.
@@AliceintheRabbitHole Yeah, the Japanese versions of Medicube are Ya-Man and Panasonic. I got mine on a trip to Japan. It's very cool. I also made another order on YesStyle for the same amount - $125. I thought it would arrive quickly, but it's been a week and tracking hasn't even started showing yet lol. But I don't think I've ever spent so much on cosmetics, look at how much you're influencing us! :)
Now I'm actually interested in the new Purito centella serum because it is formulated by Hinature, its parent company. I cannot get the same formula somewhere else. Thank Alice!
That reminds me of KSecret Seoul 1988 their '2% retinal serum' they advertise on the label but its not really 2 percent. It's 0.02% which is actually very low 😒 Especially if you typically use retinaldehyde and think you're getting a stronger percentage. Deceiving!
Bonjour Alice ! J'aimerai savoir qu'elles sont les produits qui passent la barrière cutané s'il vous plait? Merci pour votre honnêteté et votre travail vraiment agréable à regardé. Belle journée F
Hii Alice. Can you please do a detailed review of the medicube pro device? I'll be receiving it in 14 days. I can't wait to use it. I'd like to listen to all things you have to say about the device and its usage before I get it.
Dr. Idriss has talked about the Innbeauty extreme cream a couple times and recommended for folks who might not be able to deal with retinoids (she's talked about a few of their products).
Got the age booster pro as a present for myself for my 54th birthday along with a handheld Mito red light as it's cheaper than a panel and SK 11 essence. So pleased with the results so far but the app for the booster pro does not work in the UK so you can't change the lights. I wish Medicube would launch their products properly. They also have very little information on how to use it and I had to find tutorials on how to use it.
IMHO, if you have the panel, I wouldn’t worry about changing the lights (some of the wavelengths don’t have a lot of research backing them yet anyway) That said, I completely agree that you should have access to those features. I feel like they want to go international (and have), but there’s a few compatibility/language concerns. I’m hoping that as they grow, that improves..👀
Hi Alice, I wonder if you use the blue and red LED micro current both at the same time and have no issues with the skincare routine? 😂 That's a good time saver... The final product packaging is always with a small opening and I end up using either too little or too much upon over dispensation...
Face mask and microcurrent? No sadly as the masks I have are full face. That said, I’ve definitely used my neck/eye LED mask with devices LOL. I’m always trying to figure out how I can squeeze more time from my days hahahaha
I'm in the middle of trying to sell my house and I told myself that if you gave it a good review, I can buy myself that new Booster Pro once it sells. My reward for getting through all the stress without doing any murder. Long story short, I'm glad you like it! Do you know if it's approved for body use at all?
That’s such a good question, but I don’t know the answer (and it’s not on their site, I see). I’m kind of surprised as they did say the og Age-R could be used on the body …so I would think this can too? But I don’t want to assume, hmm …well now I really want to know as well LOL
Ooh great question. It wouldn’t be quite right to call it an extract, but if a company wanted to claim a higher percentage (on the old labeling system), it would be very easy to add a bit of water and -boom- now it’s an extract lol. Extracts can vary SO much in terms of what that word means.
I rly like that SK has decided to change their labelling laws, it just makes it so much easier to understand (cause I have a smooth brain) and know what the product contains. I know that it doesn't contain 100% centella, but it markets itself in a way that makes it seem to be that way - false advertisement? In any case, I am rly interested to know what the actual percentages of the product brands will be labeling their products with... What if that Cosrx Snail mucin isn't actually 96% or that galactomyces isn't actually 95%... 🍵
It’s going to be soooo interesting to see these changes roll out 👀 And yep I agree, not to mention that a lot of folks were (understandably!) confused by it!
It’s a nozzle I added! Anua says it’s perfectly okay to decant it into a spray bottle (or change the nozzle), just make sure you’re using a fully clean bottle/sprayer ☺️
Do you have any recommendations for products to use with the Booster Pro? I've been using skin1004 Ampoule while using it in order to for it to glide well but I have to keep adding more product so it's not ideal
I know what you mean! I sometimes add a thin layer of experiments serum or mixsoon’s bean essence to prevent my base serum from completely absorbing/evaporating. High panthenol/beta glucan/glycerin/HA products also have worked!
So sorry, I should have explained that better! They’re definitely not dupes, but I was mainly using the DDG for hydration. The axis-y gives me that for a fraction of the price in packaging that I’m preferring!
I hope you've already patented that spinach treatment. I'd hate to see some big corporation steal your idea. I imagine it has a lot of excellent benefits when it comes to toning facial muscles. (This assumption is based solely on my knowledge of spinach gained from Popeye.)
NORMALIZE NOT USING STUDIO LIGHTING!! Without the lights I can see what your skin actually looks like, which is automatically what tells me which products work and which don't. With studio lights - sure, everything's pretty, but that's the problem. Your skin will look the same, no matter the products.
The fact that the basement of chemistry is mostly 80% of water and the rest of other actives, is making me wondering how we could have been believing in this for a few years?
Purito is smart for getting ahead of this. Many brands will have to rebrand/reformulate most of their products. I'm glad you mentioned Skin1004 b/c their entire marketing is the 100% claim, but it literally tells you nothing about the actual amount of centella in the product. It's simply just a marketing tactic. A product w/ 10% centella extract can have more centella than a product w/ 100%, but even then.. it doesn't matter if the ingredient doesn't have an effective delivery system.
You’re completely correct! My suspicion is that a lot of brands are going to completely omit those claims. Ie I bet the anua becomes simply the “heartleaf toner, featuring heartleaf”
@@AliceintheRabbitHole Tilbury has been threatening more lawsuits. But hey nothing she has is copyright or patented so yes go for it Self we all can't afford her garbage
Do you have experiences with diy-ing tinted moisturizer? (like a cream you like mixing with foundation when you want lighter coverage or your have more dry flakes?)
Oh yes definitely! I haven’t done it for a long time though, as I didn’t like that you have to mix it every time you do your makeup. Alas, it definitely does work if you don’t mind the extra step!
I do it sometimes and it works pretty well. On my very oily T-zone it separates pretty badly even with oil and blotting but for dry skin this shouldn’t be an issue. I would recommend. Just put a one, two drops onto the moisturizer just do it how it feels right and re adjust until you like it. Gel cream works normal cream works too just don’t take a too thick one and maybe get the moisture and hydration through milky toners 😘
I tried the Anua 10% niacinamide 4% TXA 2% Arbutin serum and it also didn’t work for me. My skin didn’t necessarily freak out, but it felt like it was.. on edge. Like one night of too much adapolene and my skin would be ready to scream 😅 And it was a bit heavy for my sensory tolerances 🥴 such a pretty color tho and it paired nicely with the Booster Pro! Speaking of, I knew not to purchase anything from Medicube yet because EuniUnni did a video about the different devices (she’s a Korean YT partner with Medicube) and said in her video to hold off on buying because there would be a new multi device release! I use the Glow Recipe niacinamide Dew Drops by mixing them with my Fenty Eaze Drops for a nice dewy “my skin but better” foundation application 😊 I also prefer to apply most of my makeup with my fingers like skincare, so the Dew Drops make that process easier and more seamless 🤗 This was a cool video format! I like comparisons because if you’ve tried one, you can get an idea of what the other may be like. Kelly Driscoll’s “This or That” videos are always fun and helpful, so it would be cool if you did something similar with your own Alice twist 😊💙
Aw that’s a shame! I do feel Anua has surprised me with some relatively “strong” products! Though I’m thinking maybe I can pull off the serum as a spot treatment instead? (Maybe. Now I’m nervous around it LOL) That’s great she shared that! And yes, Kelly’s serious is fantastic. ☺️
Love your videos! Would love it if you could review Dr Different Vitalift Forte. It’s supposed to be a 0.1 retinal. Interesting to see this in k beauty and was wondering what do you think . 🤍
Ah I tried their lower level retinal (I think the same name without the “forte”) in the past and was very impressed! Sadly I think it would be hard for me to incorporate now as I use adapalene. But I’d say it’s likely a great option, and very exciting to see such a strong retinoid in K-Beauty ☺️
I think Purito handled the sunscreen scandal better than some other brands, but they got the bulk of the anger. They really do have some great products.
Many blessings!💖💖💖
I 100% agree! Purito trusted their manufacturer, which…can’t say I blame them. And then did the right thing when it came out.

Ooooo that spinach leaf demonstration is everything I needed in my life right now! Thank you :).
😁
Me too!
I notice that it's kind of the trend where people who can research things with Google now get better as consumers but they still don't know the nuances of formulation so they get angry when they hear extract or lower percentage of actives. I like the comparison video, I think it's fun too!
Mmhmm, it feels like there’s a limited ability to research - “researching” what brands want us to hear lol
Alice, would you please do a video on the Booster Pro where you really break down the best way to use the device in each mode? I often feel like I may not be using it correctly and haven’t found a solid video that has helped me.

I loved the comparisons, but that spinach demonstration was on point!!
Question about percentages in skincare: how is the percent determined? By weight? By volume? Molarity?
Good question! I would suspect it varies
More comparisons indeed!

I just bought the booster pro a month ago and used your code! Thank you for all your great reviews. I have learned so much. I just purchased the Dr. Dennis Gross LED mask during the Sephora sale also based on your review!
Ooh great choices!! Glad to help and thanks for the support ☺️
I really like Purito's transparency and they have great products, so I will continue to buy from them.
Agreed!
Alice! Hi! I also bought the rebranded Purito serum and I love it because the old one had a fishy smell. I don’t know what happened to the formulation but a lot of us got it and were complaining so I’m glad this new one doesn’t smell bad! I thought about buying the toner as well! but ultimately just grabbed the serum, might try it later down the road though.
The spinach demo was hilarious 😂 you always make me laugh!
Much appreciated because it was needed. Having a rough week
I’m so sorry to hear, those weeks are not fun! Hope it gets better 💕
@@AliceintheRabbitHole well, since I can’t message you anymore, I thought you should know that Instagram disabled my account because I commented on a video of a girl applying a little dot of a newly released sunscreen from a brand page saying that she should apply the correct dose because this isn’t helpful. Apparently, that goes against community guidelines 🙄
Omg this is crazy, my view of Korean skincare has flipped completely! And hilarious analogy with spinach 😂thanks Alice.
And btw, are there any updates on SKIN 1004 Probio-Cica Ampoule? I tried looking for a follow-up since the first video where you tried it nearly a year ago but never found anything
Not really sadly. I like it, but I ended up using other products a bit more!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole thanks :)
I love spinach but I see it with new eyes today 😂 Thank you Alice. This entire video was a blast ❤
Glad you enjoyed! ☺️
I’ve just tried the new Purito sunscreen and love it. It is very similar to the numbuzin and p. Calm ones as well as the haruharu wonder in the yellow tube. It’s almost like they’re made by the same company 😅
Ooh really!? Thanks for sharing! I’m inevitably going to pick that one up at some point lol 😁
I was in LOVE with the old Purito Centella sunscreen (I only wore it in the winter which is a dark and rainy time here) and was so upset it was only 19 spf!! that I stopped buying their products. I did wonder if that sunscreen was more skincare than sun protection (it was) but due to some of your videos last Nov I decided to get a daytime and a nighttime Centella creams to have on hand incase I damage my skin barrier with a TCA peel or my Differen. I also got the cosrx soft comfort Centella which was super thick (thicker than the nighttime Purito’s one). And wouldn’t you know for the first time in 10+ years I burned my skin in 4 spots after a TCApeel! I was so thankful past-me was prepared! Next order I’ll include this new purito serum. (I’m not big on eye creams but during the Nov Ulta sale I bought the pink one you recommended. I like the device but the eye cream is meh so at night I’ve been packing on the cosrx soft comfort which does help with hydration and is much more cost effective!).
Hey Alice. Thank you for doing what you do. Love your work. Could you please review the seabuck thorn cream and other creams from purito. Are they fragrant? Or having essential oils?
I saw that new Purito line on Stylevana recently and it looked interesting, am most interested in the new sunscreen from them. I loved the Farmacy TXA essence, didn't know they released a honey one... it sounds really nice as I like honey and propolis, especially the scent. Although Farmacy is a pricey brand.
Agreed, though I have noticed farmacy runs some great sales around the holidays! Honey and propolis are such great ingredients 😁
Perfect timing. I was going to ask your thoughts on innbeauty extreme cream! Alt of makeup artist have been talking about it. Omg your spinach was the best! Yes so much fun please more of these videos.
Ooh have they? (I’m so far behind in videos 😭😭) it really is a gorgeous moisturizer, glad to hear!
I check in with your channel often and have become a fan of the Manyo bifida serum because of you. My husband says he wants you to wear your mushroom hat again! (I love it too and would love to see it again as well!)
I lovee this type of video from you Alice! It looks like the innbeauty one also has mica which would make it look more glowy but only cosmetically, but great comparison to byoma forsure
Yes, that’s right! It’s not glittery on (thankfully lol).
Great comparison video and as always, I learned a few things. Thank you. The iNNbeauty cream looks divine! It’ll be on my waiting list until I use a few more products up… or not!😅
I always looked at kbeauty products with high percentages with a grain of skepticism 😅.
Very wise of you!
I really like the comparison video
Purito gets more heat than they deserve, I appreciate how much they try to be transparent through these events. Thanks for covering this! I hadn't heard, appreciate the breakdown of ingredient differences, with props and everything 😅
I agree completely; I respect their efforts!
I totally agree. As for the props, that really proves her dedication!
Omg thank god I watched this, was gonna get the age - r thing but now they got a pro?!?!?!? Perfect timing :) :) :)
Yuuup! I’d skip the OG booster/airshot and go for that ☺️
10/10 for 🍀 Demonstration ✅
🤓
Well, that’s great. Several of the products that you showed, specifically the Purito unscented serum, are in my repertoire. 😩 the skin 1004 ampoule product is as well.
I’d say it’s a good thing overall! Those products were effective without those high percentage claims, and with the new regulations, we will actually be able to understand the products so much better ☺️
Do you think the booster pro is safe in regards that will also make ingredients like preservatives etc get absorbed deeper?
That is a good question! I would say that I am not personally concerned. Preservatives are used at very low levels in skincare products (just what is needed!)
Alice I love that DIY spinach face mask! Will have to try at home 😂
Proven benefits as follows: crinkly sounds! 🤣
I got my first Stylevana order today finally! It took almost 3 weeks :P Such fun though :) That new Purito came as a gift too, I'll be trying it.
I have the Panasonic Vitalift RF and it's awesome. I trust Panasonic more than Medicube and I'm getting amazing results.
Haha yup, it’s a wait - but it’s worth it! I believe those devices are popular in Japan, right? ☺️
@@AliceintheRabbitHole Yeah, the Japanese versions of Medicube are Ya-Man and Panasonic. I got mine on a trip to Japan. It's very cool.
I also made another order on YesStyle for the same amount - $125. I thought it would arrive quickly, but it's been a week and tracking hasn't even started showing yet lol.
But I don't think I've ever spent so much on cosmetics, look at how much you're influencing us! :)
Ah girl the spinach was f hilarious!! 😂
Now I'm actually interested in the new Purito centella serum because it is formulated by Hinature, its parent company. I cannot get the same formula somewhere else. Thank Alice!
It really is a lovely ingredients list too!
That reminds me of KSecret Seoul 1988 their '2% retinal serum' they advertise on the label but its not really 2 percent. It's 0.02% which is actually very low 😒 Especially if you typically use retinaldehyde and think you're getting a stronger percentage. Deceiving!
I bought the Booster-H AND the Air Shot right before the Pro came out. I really wish I'd known.
Ugh, yeah I really wish they had given a heads up!
Bonjour Alice ! J'aimerai savoir qu'elles sont les produits qui passent la barrière cutané s'il vous plait? Merci pour votre honnêteté et votre travail vraiment agréable à regardé. Belle journée F
Would you recommend both booster pro and ussera? Wanting to chisel the ol jowl problem 😕
Hii Alice. Can you please do a detailed review of the medicube pro device? I'll be receiving it in 14 days. I can't wait to use it. I'd like to listen to all things you have to say about the device and its usage before I get it.
I like this idea! Will definitely aim to get this up ☺️
The spinach example 😂😂😂
Wait the spinach was unhinged 😂😂😂
can you please compare the beautystat eye cream to the alpyn eye cream? i’m debating on which one to get for my dark circles
Dr. Idriss has talked about the Innbeauty extreme cream a couple times and recommended for folks who might not be able to deal with retinoids (she's talked about a few of their products).
Oh superb, thank you for sharing! I can see it pairing beautifully with a retinoid routine
Got the age booster pro as a present for myself for my 54th birthday along with a handheld Mito red light as it's cheaper than a panel and SK 11 essence. So pleased with the results so far but the app for the booster pro does not work in the UK so you can't change the lights. I wish Medicube would launch their products properly. They also have very little information on how to use it and I had to find tutorials on how to use it.
IMHO, if you have the panel, I wouldn’t worry about changing the lights (some of the wavelengths don’t have a lot of research backing them yet anyway)
That said, I completely agree that you should have access to those features. I feel like they want to go international (and have), but there’s a few compatibility/language concerns. I’m hoping that as they grow, that improves..👀
That was fun !
My goal is to be accused of using filters 😂😂😂
I love TirTir…. My skin is so Happy 🤗
Hi Alice, I wonder if you use the blue and red LED micro current both at the same time and have no issues with the skincare routine? 😂 That's a good time saver...
The final product packaging is always with a small opening and I end up using either too little or too much upon over dispensation...
Face mask and microcurrent? No sadly as the masks I have are full face. That said, I’ve definitely used my neck/eye LED mask with devices LOL. I’m always trying to figure out how I can squeeze more time from my days hahahaha
I'm in the middle of trying to sell my house and I told myself that if you gave it a good review, I can buy myself that new Booster Pro once it sells. My reward for getting through all the stress without doing any murder. Long story short, I'm glad you like it! Do you know if it's approved for body use at all?
That’s such a good question, but I don’t know the answer (and it’s not on their site, I see). I’m kind of surprised as they did say the og Age-R could be used on the body …so I would think this can too? But I don’t want to assume, hmm
…well now I really want to know as well LOL
Hi Alice! Question about your spinach example- would that count as spinach on the ingredient list or spinach extract?
Ooh great question. It wouldn’t be quite right to call it an extract, but if a company wanted to claim a higher percentage (on the old labeling system), it would be very easy to add a bit of water and -boom- now it’s an extract lol. Extracts can vary SO much in terms of what that word means.
Maybe opening steeped tea bags would be a funny idea next?
I rly like that SK has decided to change their labelling laws, it just makes it so much easier to understand (cause I have a smooth brain) and know what the product contains. I know that it doesn't contain 100% centella, but it markets itself in a way that makes it seem to be that way - false advertisement? In any case, I am rly interested to know what the actual percentages of the product brands will be labeling their products with... What if that Cosrx Snail mucin isn't actually 96% or that galactomyces isn't actually 95%... 🍵
It’s going to be soooo interesting to see these changes roll out 👀
And yep I agree, not to mention that a lot of folks were (understandably!) confused by it!
Is that the anua toner WITH A SPRAY TOP!? Im intrigued, tell us more please!! 🙏 ❤
It’s a nozzle I added! Anua says it’s perfectly okay to decant it into a spray bottle (or change the nozzle), just make sure you’re using a fully clean bottle/sprayer ☺️
@@AliceintheRabbitHole omg i have to try that 😅😅
Do you have any recommendations for products to use with the Booster Pro? I've been using skin1004 Ampoule while using it in order to for it to glide well but I have to keep adding more product so it's not ideal
I know what you mean! I sometimes add a thin layer of experiments serum or mixsoon’s bean essence to prevent my base serum from completely absorbing/evaporating. High panthenol/beta glucan/glycerin/HA products also have worked!
You love beauty. What about Proot. Looks like a good brand but not finding much info.
Seeing a product claiming "100% so and so" always confused me 😂 As in, but what else is in there 🤔🤔🧐
Right!?
How does the Axis-Y replace the DDG eye cream since DDG has retinol in it? I don’t see retinol listed in the ingredients for Axis-Y?
So sorry, I should have explained that better! They’re definitely not dupes, but I was mainly using the DDG for hydration. The axis-y gives me that for a fraction of the price in packaging that I’m preferring!
I hope you've already patented that spinach treatment. I'd hate to see some big corporation steal your idea. I imagine it has a lot of excellent benefits when it comes to toning facial muscles. (This assumption is based solely on my knowledge of spinach gained from Popeye.)
🤣😂
NORMALIZE NOT USING STUDIO LIGHTING!! Without the lights I can see what your skin actually looks like, which is automatically what tells me which products work and which don't. With studio lights - sure, everything's pretty, but that's the problem. Your skin will look the same, no matter the products.
😂the spinach!!
The fact that the basement of chemistry is mostly 80% of water and the rest of other actives, is making me wondering how we could have been believing in this for a few years?
Exactly.
Have a wonderful week ❌️ ⭕️
Same to you, and I hope you’re recovering quickly! 💕
Purito is smart for getting ahead of this. Many brands will have to rebrand/reformulate most of their products.
I'm glad you mentioned Skin1004 b/c their entire marketing is the 100% claim, but it literally tells you nothing about the actual amount of centella in the product. It's simply just a marketing tactic. A product w/ 10% centella extract can have more centella than a product w/ 100%, but even then.. it doesn't matter if the ingredient doesn't have an effective delivery system.
You’re completely correct! My suspicion is that a lot of brands are going to completely omit those claims. Ie I bet the anua becomes simply the “heartleaf toner, featuring heartleaf”
So purito soul IS just purito?? Was wondering what was going on
Yep, they have done a whole brand revamp!
❤❤❤❤
And Elf just duped those glow drops too.
Want to talk about claims of products, pick up Charlotte Tilbury what a load of crap dahling 😅
I saw that!! Wow are they ever on a duping spree, and I’m glad for it with how much everything costs
@@AliceintheRabbitHole Tilbury has been threatening more lawsuits. But hey nothing she has is copyright or patented so yes go for it Self we all can't afford her garbage
@@melindagenitempo2359remember when Apple tried to patent the rectangle? It reminds me of that 🤣
@@AliceintheRabbitHole no but that's hilarious 😂
Hi Alice. ❌️⭕️
Do you have experiences with diy-ing tinted moisturizer? (like a cream you like mixing with foundation when you want lighter coverage or your have more dry flakes?)
Oh yes definitely! I haven’t done it for a long time though, as I didn’t like that you have to mix it every time you do your makeup. Alas, it definitely does work if you don’t mind the extra step!
I do it sometimes and it works pretty well. On my very oily T-zone it separates pretty badly even with oil and blotting but for dry skin this shouldn’t be an issue. I would recommend. Just put a one, two drops onto the moisturizer just do it how it feels right and re adjust until you like it. Gel cream works normal cream works too just don’t take a too thick one and maybe get the moisture and hydration through milky toners 😘
@@AliceintheRabbitHole any products/moisturizers you enjoyed for this in particular?
I do this with the Glow Recipe Dew Drops and Fenty Beauty Eaze Drops Foundation for nice light coverage
🐰
:D
Lol ur skin is data driven
I tried the Anua 10% niacinamide 4% TXA 2% Arbutin serum and it also didn’t work for me. My skin didn’t necessarily freak out, but it felt like it was.. on edge. Like one night of too much adapolene and my skin would be ready to scream 😅 And it was a bit heavy for my sensory tolerances 🥴 such a pretty color tho and it paired nicely with the Booster Pro!
Speaking of, I knew not to purchase anything from Medicube yet because EuniUnni did a video about the different devices (she’s a Korean YT partner with Medicube) and said in her video to hold off on buying because there would be a new multi device release!
I use the Glow Recipe niacinamide Dew Drops by mixing them with my Fenty Eaze Drops for a nice dewy “my skin but better” foundation application 😊 I also prefer to apply most of my makeup with my fingers like skincare, so the Dew Drops make that process easier and more seamless 🤗
This was a cool video format! I like comparisons because if you’ve tried one, you can get an idea of what the other may be like. Kelly Driscoll’s “This or That” videos are always fun and helpful, so it would be cool if you did something similar with your own Alice twist 😊💙
Aw that’s a shame! I do feel Anua has surprised me with some relatively “strong” products! Though I’m thinking maybe I can pull off the serum as a spot treatment instead? (Maybe. Now I’m nervous around it LOL)
That’s great she shared that! And yes, Kelly’s serious is fantastic. ☺️
Love your videos! Would love it if you could review Dr Different Vitalift Forte. It’s supposed to be a 0.1 retinal. Interesting to see this in k beauty and was wondering what do you think .
🤍
Ah I tried their lower level retinal (I think the same name without the “forte”) in the past and was very impressed! Sadly I think it would be hard for me to incorporate now as I use adapalene. But I’d say it’s likely a great option, and very exciting to see such a strong retinoid in K-Beauty ☺️
The Medicube Booster Pro Prob reminds me of when u buy something & the Nx. Wk it’s on 1/2 price sale!! 😳😤😡
The worst ugh. Especially when it’s final sale. I will beat myself up for WEEKS
I just got 1 of those!!! I gotta figure out how to use it lol 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Ooh the booster pro? With humectants and gentle ingredients! Just avoid actives as “boosting” those can lead to irritation ☺️
