      Just popping in to mention:
      You can get your skin to pill up by just using a decent moisturizer/moisturizing cleanser, a wet cloth, and wet hands. I do it with the aveeno calm & restore nourishing cleanser, after letting my face sit under a wet cloth for a few mins. Watering down the cleanser makes it perfect to gently rub away those dead skin patches 😊

      @@dismurrart6648 That's a really good question! Many people will treat their neck with the same treatments as their face; some people start their neck and 'dec' treatment late though and don't use adequate sun screen there (big mistake, you don't want a young pretty face with a tired old looking neck haha!). thus maybe they want stronger treatment targeted there... those areas can tolerate higher percentages of actives versus face or super-sensitive-but-prone-to-saggy-eye targeted creams? Maybe? That's why I'd ask Michelle and James about this...

      Same here! I went from good skin to it being completely ruined with PIH after some cystic flares bc I never thought it would be bc of the mucin. I consider myself lucky bc I found out by accident. Although my skin is a lot better now, even after more than 6 months you can still see some spots :(( so I've been trying products left and right to get rid of them. The Jumiso all day vitamin serum helped me a lot in the beginning stages with the bigger spots so I'd recommend that

    I love the Pyunkang Yul toner, and I’ve been anti-toner for decades. But I like it at night applied in multiple thin layers as a basis for nighttime hydration. Plus, it’s my favorite toner for seven skins, which I do at least once a week at night. That technique has been surprisingly effective for fighting off dehydration of my skin. (I’m in my 60’s with very sensitive dry skin that dehydrates easily, even moreso because of illness.)
    I’ve not seen the sunscreen you tried on the influencers I watch regularly. I expected to see the one from Beauty of Joeson, but I’m glad you pointed this out as being better for dry skin. I’ll try it.
    And you provided the info I needed to determine that snail products are a definite no for me because of multiple shellfish allergies. Thank you!

    Your videos are always a treat! I'm going to have to give the Cosrx Snail Mucin another try. Also, I haven't tried the raved about Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner, but their Ato Cream Blue Label is an amazing, affordable moisturizer (with no fragrance!). It has ceramides, but I'm skeptical of their effectiveness in skincare. It's just a good, basic moisturizer for dry skin, and because I think it's technically marketed for use on the body, in comes in a large 4 oz tube that lasts forever. Often body moisturizers will aggravate my skin, but this just leaves my dry, sensitive skin really moisturized through the next morning.

  • @polives
    @polives Рік тому +4

    I was really looking forward to this because I've tried all the products except the sunscreen and bean essence. I shared pretty much the same opinions as Michelle except for the snail essence, that was a bit too moisturising for me, it seemed to make my skin go a lot oilier quicker than usual. I had combination to oily skin with proneness to dehydration when I was using it. Since then I've been using adapalene for just about a year and a half and my skin is more classic combination (oily t-zone and drier u-zone). I also didn't find the Pyunkang Yul toner particularly moisturising but it did work very well for a specific situation, like when my skin barrier has been damaged, or my skin has been irritated or really dried out, it worked very well when done as a little toner pad hydrating mask. It really took redness down and calmed the itchy, tight, burning feeling when I was restricted on what I could use because all my other products had at least one active in them and stung very badly at the time. With the Beauty of Joseon retinal eye cream I find that it really irritated the skin at the corners of my eyes and the tops of the eyelids just below the browbone. It does feel very drying and sensitising which is unusual for me as I don't usually have sensitive skin and have been using retinal on the rest of my face for a while, and used retinol eye creams before without much issue. I'm working my way slowly through this eye cream but I definitely can't use it for more than a day or two without giving the eyes a break. However, the other Beauty of Joseon products I've tried have all throughly impressed me - their ginseng toner and the plum toner (AHA/BHA toner), their green tea serum and the Dynasty cream are absolutely amazing. Fantastic at hydrating, lightweight and very elegant formulations, very pleasant to use and make me reach for them all the time!

I like to mix it with the COSRX 96% snail essence to really amp up the hydration factor. It also is very soothing and non irritating to my eczema.

    I am happy to hear reviews of skincare+my fav brands! I used to absolutely adore BoJ Dynasty cream but the reformulation ruined it for me. The new essences/toner are lovely though! But the cream, it's just not working the same and I don't know why... The dynasty cream now does nothing & feels different for me when it used to do so much and it's reformulation isn't as good on me. I am so sad because it used to be my Holy Grail 😢 I still have no exact replacement for it and I'm grieving my last jar 😢.
    I still love Pyunkang Yul toner and balancing gel and AC clear magic cica cream and prefer Benton snail bee essence and steam cream for all my snail needs. My new creams are between Guerisson, GoTo creams and Benton Snail Bee venom steam cream.

    Great video! I've really enjoyed using the BOJ eye cream on my entire face. It's such a beautiful, gentle, and affordable product and I look forward to seeing results over the next few months. And thank you for highlighting the connection between snail mucin and dust mites! I can't find a lot of credible sources anywhere. Still, I have seen anecdotal claims on the internet where people with dust allergies related how snail products triggered a similar allergic response. I have dust allergies and was really concerned about trying any snail products after reading those comments until a family member got the COSRX snail cream and I decided to patch-test it on my body and at the back of my ear. Thankfully, I didn't get an allergic response, but I was not fond of the cream's texture, so I still decided to avoid snail products after that - lol.

      I don't think it happens with everyone! I've seen people go both ways in reviews (allergic to this but not dust/shellfish too). I was a little worried because while I don't have a topical dust allergy I sneeze a lot when cleaning, but this was fine for me 😊

    As I always say. To find out what works for you and what’s not - buy, apply, wait, see the results after 2-4 weeks (or right away if you get an allergic or any kind of reaction)

    I tend to gravitate towards korean skincare because I have hypersensitive skin with fragrance allergies and COSRX and beauty of joseon are some of the brands that have consistently good products without fragrance or unnecessary allergens. I can use nearly nothing in a Sephora, but I know I can generally trust them to not sneak anything into their products that will be harmful to me.

    I wasn’t really so impressed with pyunkang yul. It did feel hydrating at first but like you said it then went away. And that was with the nutrition cream. Also the birch sunscreen felt dry to me. I had to double check it wasn’t a mineral sunscreen. I don’t have especially dry skin at all but I guess it’s kind of finicky! Love the Dynasty cream and the eye cream from Beauty of joseon:)

    I started using Pyunkang Yul products over the summer for my very dry skin. During the summer/fall, they are fine. Ive had to switch to other products so far during the winter as I was having to layer multiple products. This is not a problem per se but if I can use 2 products vs 4 or 5 to get the same hydration level, I'm going to switch products. lol They are very gentle and I've not had any problems with my dry senstive skin. They just don't provide enough hydration for me during winter. I think I might have to try the Cosrx snail essense though.

    Personally I'm not buying that whole cosrx story about not stimulating the snails in any way, that's just impossible to get the quantity of snail mucin they claim to have in their products, for mass production and at that low of a price, it's just not realistic. Also I cound't find anything about the quality of the mucin being affected, all I could find is that some snails when in distress can produce mucin with harmful/irritating substances so those types of snails are not used for food nor skincare.

    Just a personal opinion about the retinal... I UPGRADED to it.. started with nutragena rapid wrinkle repair until I used it almost every night... Then the cosrx .1% retinol cream, again got up using almost every night ... Now I still use the cosrx but use beauty of joseon at least once a wk ... It's definitely more potent then the others

    Pyunkang yul essence toner Very review:
    to all my acne active/ prone oily skin girls i totally recommend pyunkang yul essence toner. i started with the travel size and then orderd the 200 ml size it’s AMAZING.
    as i’ve a war on my face going most of the time i turn into a tomato all the time duo to my disrupted skin barrier - since i’m using many anti- acne products, this essence toner is very soothing and I SWEAR it reduced my redness to the half within a week.
    tbh and clear i have been using a mediocre cleanser and the amazing iyloon gel moisturizer( also recommended for oily prone skin)
    love you all.. you got this ladies ❤❤

    My skin didn't get accustomed to Snail 96 the first time I used it. I broke out, however I gave it 2nd chance and I just fell in love how this mitigates damage done by actives in short time. Also, anti-ageing effect is slightly better than similarly priced HA's. Definitely something I'd keep for a long time until a better one comes out

    Could you do a video on polyethelyne and polyethelyne glycol in cosmetics, specifically in oil cleansers/cleansing balms?

It would be great to have a breakdown from someone more knowledgeable than randos on the internet.

    Well I tried something you recommended a while ago. It was the Lagom Cellus Aqualane Solution. It was very pricy but so good! It's so hydrating and saves my skin on a really bad days.
    The snail mucin toner was and still is very good for my skin! I pair it with their cream and it leaves my skin super bouncy and hydrated.
    I didn't like the Pyunkang Yul... It was weird... It made my skin kinda dry at some point. What worked for me was the La Neige toner ! Soo hydrating and pumping.

    I love Round Lab birch sunscreen. I bought and tried so many sunscreens but I couldn't find one that satisfies my dry and sensitive skin. It is the most popular sunscreen in Korea (People in Korea don't even know the brand BOJ or Isntree..lol), so I tried it and I threw away all other sunscreen.
