This is a hard one. It’s a toss-up between: 1. Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum (so good that it makes straight men want to wear it on the daily) 2. Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Glow Sun Ampoule (I had two co-workers pull me into their offices, shut the door, and ask me what the hell I was doing to my skin because of the glow. This happened in the span of two hours).
I’d have to say my favourite product this year has been the numbuzin no1 clear filter sunscreen! As a loyal fan of the skin1004 hyalucica sunscreen back in 2023, when you recommended the numbuzin one and said it was BETTER, I was like “hmmmm how much better can it really be? 🤨”But yeah it blew me away; it’s the number one product I recommend to my friends and family now :)
That skin1004 centella ampoule is my 2024 hero product. I have had a horrible allergic reaction the broke me out and left my skin barrier damaged, even water burned. BUT not this product! This helped my skin get back to feeling normal in a matter of days rather than months and allowe me to use other products to help with the acne! Truly a miracle product. Btw thank you for your videos? You are my first source when im looking dor a bew product or to see if something is worth the hype! Everything tou recommended that I've tried has been magic ✨
My favourite K-beauty product was the beauty of joseon rice toner my skin drinks that up and actually helped me with oil control ❤🤗 have a happy new year Alice 🥳
This is such a difficult question!!! I have found so many new favorite products thanks to you lol! I really really love skin1004 centella ampoule. Like you said, it is so soothing, but there is something more to it that is hard to put my finger on. I just know that once if not twice a day I want to throw at least two droppers full of that sucker on my face and it instantly feels like my life is whole again 🤣🤣 honestly though it is so soothing and calming and hydrating and I cant get enough of it. I recently purchased a few other skin1004 products so I was so happy to see this updated video!! Merry christmas and happy new year!! 💚❤️💚❤️💚
Hi, Queen 👑 As an Indian man, who has shunned the taboo of "men should not use beauty products" to following your channel and learning so much, I mean so so much, from : 1) INCI, 2) to researching on ingredients 3) implementing Gotu Kola (which is native to my country India), I really have read clinical studies on it and that's all because of you, what surprised me was it was in my garden all these years - UNUSED as a weed. 4) I started using broad spectrum sunscreen JUST BECAUSE OF YOU, the way my skin shines is phenomenal. Sadly, I can't afford the expensive products but I mirror everything that you say on a budget, In-case, if you take an extra step to dispatch those to me, I'll pay for the shipping. I just want to try the products that you talked about, it would be a blessing for me as it's Christmas, rest even if I am not a pick for your freebies, I only wanted to praise you, you transformed my skin from 0 all the way to 1 million. Of the nearly 2000+ channels i subscribed to, yours is my "best-est". Marry Christmas and a blessed New Year ahead, you always gift us with your trials and wisdom, it's time for us subscribers to be thankful of you (excuse my improper English).
It takes a lot to impress me and I rarely repurchase anything. This year I was really impressed by the haruharu wonder moisture airfit sunscreen. It feels like velvet on my skin.
You’re the channel that got me into K beauty this year! We have different skin types, but you’re a fair reviewer who’s usually spot on for what people with combo/oily skin would prefer in a product. I loved the Skin1004 centella smoothing cream as a summer moisturizer at my oiliest, and now that I’m dealing with some dryness because of the weather and adapelene I like using it in my active sandwich. I like it for a lighter weight sleeping mask option too regardless of the weather or how wrecked my skin is from being a little too overzealous with actives. I’d say the new BOJ aqua fresh is another favorite but I’ve only had it for about a week so it’s still a little early to call it. I’ve never enjoyed another sunscreen so much before!
My favorite k beauty product of 2024 is the Skin1004 Probiocica Essence Toner. I AM OBSESSED. My skin drinks it up and I immediately feel soothed and moisturized. I'm even tempted to say hydrated !!! I also see an immediate difference in my skin when I apply it. I wish my bottle was infinite!!! Also thank you so much for the *shhhhh don't want the bots to see this* we appreciate you 💜💜💜
My favourite K-Beauty product is the skin1004 cleansing oil. It's the only thing that completely removes my waterproof mascara and I love that it doesn't even require a second cleanse like most other oil cleansers!
Happy holidays! My fave product of the year was the skin 1004 Madagascar centella ampoule. I use it prior to my red light mask several days a week. The price is amazing for the quality of this and that means I can use more if I need extra layers of hydration! Thank you🎉
I’ve been using the Mixsoon Bean Essence. I’m a huge K-beauty user and can honestly say nothing has made my skin softer. AND, I tried it upon your recommendation! Thank you Alice ❤
I do love the 2023 sunscreen 🫣, and I have a backup on hand! I might try the new formulas regardless, but with oilier sensitive skin, I'm just stoked anything works and looks nice. My favorite K-beauty skincare product this year is the Heimish All Clean Balm - super reliable - and my favorite K-beauty makeup product is the MEMEBOX I'M Pep! Balm in Brink. I spent half the year rushing people to multiple appointments a week (all are fine now) with 3 minutes for makeup, and it was so versatile and handy!
This year my skin loved the Heimish Marine Care Retinol For Face Serum and the Heimish Moringa Ceramide Collagen Enriched Moisturizer. Both have such beautiful and elegant textures, finishes and packaging 🎉🩷🙂
a lot of my 2024 favs are old favourites, but some new products i've discovered and really enjoyed this year are -the beplain mung bean cleansing oil and cleansing milk balm. both really good at removing makeup, the cleansing oil is really light (similar to skin1004) and contains no fragrance/essential oils. i've just started the balm and i think i like it even more; it's very soft and melts easily, and it's also light once melted with a bit of creaminess that makes it feel nice to spread. i also find that it washes away more easily than the oil (it's really clean after) -miguhara green tea calming essence cleansing foam. it's a very nice basic but reliable cleanser ; it's got that cream foam texture (similar, again, to the skin1004 one but slightly thicker) that means you need so little it lasts a really long time, it's suitable for sensitive skin and surprisingly non drying (definitely less than the aforementioned skin1004. idk why i keep comparing it to skin1004, i swear this is not shade i do also like the brand, i really enjoyed the probio cica ampoule this year!) -derma:b cera md lotion. while it's not quite nourishing and occlusive enough for my dry skin (i really want to try their harder to find cream version) i can feel how much stronger my skin barrier is within a few days of use, my skin feels kinda plumper although it still gets dehydrated. it's meant as bodycare i think, but it doesn't add to my clogged pores and means it's a very economical size. honourable mentions: i've recently ran out of the cosrx galactomyces and dr ceuracle green tea essence and i can tell!! i've used the cosrx for so long i sometimes take it for granted but the hydration it adds to my skin is crazy, it just consistently makes my skin look better in a way i can't fully understand (maybe it's just really good at tackling my dehydration on the long term?). the dr ceuracle really helped with my winter dryness and although i'm currently trying out and enjoying the ordinary milky toner i can see myself re ordering the kombucha essence for how hydrating and moisturising it is.
My favourite kbeauty product has been the Mary&May Vegan Blackberry Complex Cream Essence! It's been getting me through all my rough patches for skin, from acne to extreme dryness! Honestly I also wanted to say thank you for giving us lots of content and very useful advice, as for someone who's newly gotten into skincare this year, it's been really really helpful :)
Alice, thank you for all the reviews you create for us. I have tried many products and like Tir Tir toner, like the whole probio line from skin 1004 but one product that stands out is harharu wonder black rice probiotic barrier essence ( milky version). It has transformed my dry skin which was mission impossible in Michigan winter months.
My favorite product was honestly the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Bakuchiol Eye Cream. I was always hesitant to use an eye ream applicator, but this changed my opinion with how easily it glides and how gentle the formula is.
My favorite of 2024 is definitely the Skin1004 Madagascar centella ampoule! I’ve tried the brightening one and that one was nice, but the OG one just nourishes more somehow!
My favorite kbeauty product of 2024 has got to be the cosrx propolis toner! I never thought it could do so much for my acne but it healed my skin like nothing else!!
Jealous of your temps! My high for sat is 13° and sundays supposed to be a balmy 8°😅 I just keep telling myself its important for my local flora and fauna, which I love so dearly. Though one of my top favorite activities is walking ny dog during snow storms when the giant flakes create a muffling affect and the world gets quiet, except the sound of snow crunching under foot. It's a special time of year. Happy holidays, Alice!
My favorite K-beauty of 2024 is a 3-way tie 😂 between the Cosrx Propolis Synergy Toner, Missha Time Revolution First Essence 5x, and Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum!! Thank you for all your hard work in 2024 and cheers to 2025! 🎉
Am I just noticing your fancy nails??💅 also my fav for this year happens to be the Skin1004 poremizing toner. As someone with oily skin and large pores, it has seemed to minimize their appearance and works well with a bha du jour in my a.m. routine.
My favorite Korean skin care product this year has 100% been the Abib probiotic rice barrier jelly, it has been a game changer this year and now a holy grail!
My favorite product of the year has been the BOJ revive serum. My first time using retinal and this formula is so gentle and has really amplified my routine. Like people actually commented on how well my skin looked after starting it 🥹
Thanks for another great vid Alice. And interestingly, my HG that I finally tried this year was indeed their Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum! I thought I had found my HG sunscreen with Haru Haru (yellow tube), but no - Skin1004 for the win! The finish is perfect. Just enough glow, but not shiny or greasy. Simply amazing. Merry Christmas Alice!
this video reminded me to repurchase the Madagascar centella ampoule! my favourite products have been sheet masks - specifically the Abib Mild acidic pH aqua fit sheet masks. they make my skin feel so hydrated and plump!
My fave K Beauty product i'm using right now is OMICEL Night Cream Injin Mugwort. As a dry skin type I rarely find K Beauty moisturizers that really meet my dry sensitive skin needs (a few only) but this one is definatly one of them 🧚♀🎄🌟
The new formulation of the Aestura Ato barrier together with the pro bio Cica ampoule from Skin 1004 was my most loved discoveries for 2024. Thanks for being a youtuber that actually offers some valuable knowledge;edge in your videos. I truly enjoy your content. So hi and some honest gratefulness to you from a mid aged menopause skincare hag from Sweden! 🎄❣️
Thanks for the video and the giveaway, Alice! So many favorite K-Beauty products! I’m going to go with the Missha Chogongjin Youngan Jin Cream ❤ Patiently awaiting your review of the overnight cream!
My favorite kbeauty product of 2024 is the I'm from ginseng mask! Did not realize a washoff mask could do this much. My skin feels taut and firm, days after using it!!! Instant HG😊
My favorite k-beauty products of 2024 are: Numbuzin 5+ serum and beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum Ginseng + Retinal. But I have been really wanting to try the Skin1004 Pro-Cica line!
My favorite K Beauty product of 2024 is the Round Lab Birch Juice SPF 50. It’s hydrating enough for the winter but doesn’t clog my pores. Followed closely by the Make Prem Safe Me Relief Essence, in layers for my dehydrated skin. I just started using K Beauty a few months ago and it’s already transformed my skin!!
I'm almost 54 and have just begun exploring Korean skincare. I've been using the Mixsoon Bean Cleansing Oil and the Mixsoon Bifida Toner Pads. I love them! I guess there's much more to explore next year.
I am having the hardest time picking a favorite… probably because it’s been about a year since my first time trying K and J beauty and it has done WONDERS for my skin. A few favorites: 1. Lion Pair Acne Cream - I’m so glad you highlighted this on your channel, it has made such a difference in the inflammation and pain from my stubborn hormonal acne. 2. I’m from Mugwort toner and mask… sooo soothing, hydrating, and I absolutely love the smell! I lovingly refer to it as my swamp mask 😂 3. Anua heartleaf toner! What can I say, your recommendations have never steered me wrong! It is so versatile and it never stings. I have lots of toners I enjoy but this is one that I have purchased multiple big bottles of… I don’t want to be without it!
My favorite K-beauty product of 2024 has been the Anua heartleaf toner. I have very similar skin type as you, dry but acne prone and this year I finally tried it on your recomendation. I ended up loving it 😍😍 It' s so calming and soothing on my skin, it's now my favorite toner! From Skin 1004 my favorite products are the hyalu- cica sunscreen and the centella ampoule ❤
all my favorites.. I've been using 1004 light serum in the morning in summer and pro bio cica at night during winter.. it's summer now so only light serums. also using the ampoule foam cleanser.. so luxurious for my combo skin ❤
My favorite of 2024 has been the Mary & May Blackberry and Idebenone intense cream. So nourishing and I love how it wears under makeup. It makes my skin feel so healthy and glowy throughout the day!
It’s so hard to choose just one because 2024 was the year I discovered K Beauty. The first products I used were a collection of Round Lab, so the birch juice sunscreen might be my favorite. For now.
My favorite K-beauty product this year is Skin1004 hyalu-cica water-fit sun serum. I went through 5 this year, gave away 4 and just got 2x100ml tubes for next year. I also have been advertising this sunscreen to pretty much everyone i know 😂 I love this brand and I love your channel ! ❤
I really began my journey of using K-Beauty this year after finding your channel! (Or at least, buying ones available only through places like yes style and not just Sephora and Ulta brands) So far the two I’ve loved most are the Manyo bifida ampoule and the Skin 1004 Madagascar Centella serum! I can’t wait to try more things, now I’m dying to try that cleansing oil!!
My favorite korean skincare of this year is Mary and May blackberry complex cream essence. It feels so so amazing... like a liquid moisturizer but so silky and soft and bonus it is pretty pink 🤣🩷 Thankyou so much for introducing it to me, along with SO MANY other products (my wallet isnt so happy with you... or me lol but my skin is!!) Hope you and your gal had the most amazing christmas 🎄🎅🎁☃️ wishing you all the best in 2025
My favorite k-beauty product of 2024 is the Medicube Collagen Night Wrapping Mask. It's so fun! But I love Skin1004 and bought a bunch of it as x-mas presents. Thanks for all you do!
Honestly sunscreen is the Kbeauty product category that changed my life! I only started using sunscreen when I discovered Kbeau sunscreen! My favorite kbeauty product this year is literally the Hyalu Cica Water Fit Sunscreen! 😂 Okok yes I tried the Tea Tree sunscreen as well but it's too dewy for me! That's why I love the Hyalu Cica one, it takes no time to apply! Hopefully to have it restock by Yesstyle please? 😜
My favorite K-beauty product of 2024 is the Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Enrich Cream! I’m right there with you on the excitement about this whole line lol. dry skin solidarity 🙂↕️✊
My favourite k-beauty product of 2024 has been the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water Fit Sun Serum. I live in the cold UK and i can wear this sunscreen all year round on top of thick creams. It never pills or messes with my makeup either.
My favorite K beauty product of 2024 is the RNW Ceramide Plus. I have been through 3 bottles. For my husband, it is the Skin 1004 Brightening Tone Ampule. He has finished 2 gigantic bottles. Love you Alice ❤
The Probio Cica Glow Ampoule is my favourite sunscreen of all time now! It's so lovely and glowy 😊 The ampoule from the same line is also one of my holy grails. Such amazing products!
Hi Alice! You look stunning with this outfit and makeup! My fave K beauty product this year has been BOJ radiance cleansing balm. I've repurchased twice! Melts everything away and rinses off clean, very gentle no fragrance and a big jar for the money.
Really appreciate this style of review! My favorite K-Beauty discovery in 2024 was the Isntree Yam Root cleanser! It's hard to go back to gel cleansers after experiencing such an beautiful, moisturizing cream texture in a cleanser. My favorite of all time would have to be the product that started my love for K-Beauty skincare: the Laneige Cica Sleeping Mask. Calms down my acne prone super dry skin like nothing else.
My favorite kbeauty products this year are Skin1004 Hyalucica sunscreen, Axis Y dark spot correcting serum. Both helped so much to lighten my acne marks!
My favourites this year have to be 1. Beauty of joseon Relief Sun Aqua-Fresh : Rice + B5 (SPF50+ PA++++) 2. SKIN1004 - Madagascar Centella Ampoule 3. Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Cream Thank you for your suggestions and feeding me addiction!
Oh my gosh, this is so hard!! I love the Axis-y eye serum that you recommended. Another eye cream that I really love is the Haruharu wonder black rice eye cream. I'm almost out of both of those and will need to re-order. I'm very impressed with the Annua heartleaf toner, and of course, the skin 1004 Centella light cleansing oil. I love TirTir's SOS serum, and the Numbuzin sleeping mask. I love just about any Korean sunscreen but right now my favorites have been the skin 1004 Centella sunscreen and the new Beauty of Joseon sunscreen. I like it much better than the original which left a little bit too much glow on my older skin. I also really love the Heimish BB cream--I feel like it's a really beautiful product although I can't get the exact color match and I end up having to mix it with the Purito BB cream which is just a little bit too, Matte for me to use on its own. Oh, I just recently discovered something that has been helping my extremely sensitized, probably barrier compromised skin, which is experiencing some dermatitis right now. And one of the only things I could use as any kind of a toner was the farm day, snail mucin toner. These are the things that came to mind immediately, but if I opened up my drawer and really looked around I bet you I'd come up with a lot more.
Such a good list!! There really are so many incredible options in K-Beauty I think that might be my issue with the Heimish BB cream too - i tried it again recently and I like it, but there’s something a smidge off (it’s probably the color, my slight bit of green throws everything for a loop haha). It’s worth playing around with though; I’ll get to the bottom of it 🤣
My favorite product of 2024 is the Manyo Bifida Biome Complex Ampoule, fixed my barrier after a series of bad choices and just made my skin.. stronger I'd say. Can't live without it now, already got 2 backups🙈🙈 Also I'd like to mention how much I love the Skin1004 Probio-Cica Intensive Ampoule. I have combo to oily acne prone skin and I really didn't expect to like that ampoule so much, but it turned out to be perfect for winter, deeply hydrating while not too heavy and it didn't break me out. I definitely would like to try other products from their probio-cica line.
This was such a great video! I need to try more of their products, but my favorite this year have actually been the Skin1004 Probio-Cica Cream. Your correct in saying that most of the moisturizers in K-beauty are not thick and moisturizing, this one is and I'm obsessed lol. I usually use thick moisturizers throughout the year and only use the moisturizer that are a mixture between a gel and cream in the morning of the warmer months. I really want to try the whole Probio-Cica line.
My favorite product of the year is the haru haru wonder essence. I have dry skin and always had problems with remaining moisturized while out for half the day at school and would need to reapply a face cream after a few hours. This product with the rest of my routine leaves me comfortable and moisturizing and has never caused any irritation. I love it 💕
My favorite product this year has to be the new BOJ sunscreen. I adore the Skin1004 cleansing oil. I was gifted a Beauty Counter cleansing oil and trying to work my way through that. It’s heavier and extra work to scrub off the skin otherwise I get a greasy residue. I miss the Skin1004 every time I use it.
VT reedle shot and skin1004 sun serum are my favourite discoveries of 2024! They've helped immensely with texture and given me glowy skin respectively :) Can't wait for what 2025 brings (Haruharu cleansing oil gets a special mention since it's got me looking forward to cleansing😅)
My favorite Kbeauty product of this year is one you recommended! Haruharu wonder - Black Rice Probiotics Barrier Essence - such a game changer! I absolutely love your channel, it's one of my favorites! It always makes my day and I learn so much.
Hey Alice! My favourite product of 2024 has got to be the Isntree vegan yam root cream. Love the texture and how it keeps my skin comfortable all day 😍
I tried the Mary and May Vitamin C sheet masks and they really did help to brighten my skin. I use them once a week, don’t even need to use them daily to see the effect. Happy Holidays Alice! Thanks for all the great content this year😊
Ooh I just got started on my K beauty journey this year! Discovered an overwhelming amount of products but out of all that I’ve tried so far - Tirtir milk toner has become a staple. I never had any toners in my skincare routine because I once used a really bad one which inflammed my skin. Cannot wait to try Anua toner soon! My skin is super acne prone and a lot of sunscreens give me acne but the Beauty of Joseon sunscreen stays beautifully on my skin. I have been getting more sunshine this winter because of it! P.S. absolutely love your honesty and your channel has become my go-to trusted guide. Thanks! 😊
My favorite K-beauty product of 2024 has to be the Soon Jung 2x Barrier Intensive Cream. I unfortunately developed some new skin allergies recently but I found this cream to work well for my sensitized skin.
My favorite k beauty product in 2024 is the Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Airyfit sunscreen. I know it's not a new product but it's my new found holy grail sunscreen! I also don't like glowy sunscreens and this one is much less glowy than other k beauty ones. It goes on like a dream, doesn't pill and doesn't sting even when my skin barrier is compromised. Can't ask for more!
This is a hard one. It’s a toss-up between:
1. Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum (so good that it makes straight men want to wear it on the daily)
2. Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Glow Sun Ampoule (I had two co-workers pull me into their offices, shut the door, and ask me what the hell I was doing to my skin because of the glow. This happened in the span of two hours).
My favorite K-Beauty product of 2024 has been the Skin1004 Cleansing Oil. I just purchased my third one and can't see myself buying anything else!
That is mine as well. I'm absolutely obsessed with it and have tried a number of cleansing oils. It's perfection!
Same! It's my favorite cleanser and I've purchased 3 bottles in the last year❤
I am surprised that y'all love it with the essential oils. YAY! I love it too.
@@pamorama What other oil cleansers have you tried? Just curious since I haven't tried it yet!
So happy to have B roll of you using 💯 plants on your face 😂😂😂❤
😏💙
I’d have to say my favourite product this year has been the numbuzin no1 clear filter sunscreen! As a loyal fan of the skin1004 hyalucica sunscreen back in 2023, when you recommended the numbuzin one and said it was BETTER, I was like “hmmmm how much better can it really be? 🤨”But yeah it blew me away; it’s the number one product I recommend to my friends and family now :)
That’s the new formula too haha! So glad to hear you’re enjoying it 😁
That skin1004 centella ampoule is my 2024 hero product. I have had a horrible allergic reaction the broke me out and left my skin barrier damaged, even water burned. BUT not this product! This helped my skin get back to feeling normal in a matter of days rather than months and allowe me to use other products to help with the acne! Truly a miracle product.

Hi, Queen 👑
As an Indian man, who has shunned the taboo of "men should not use beauty products" to following your channel and learning so much, I mean so so much, from :
1) INCI,
2) to researching on ingredients
3) implementing Gotu Kola (which is native to my country India), I really have read clinical studies on it and that's all because of you, what surprised me was it was in my garden all these years - UNUSED as a weed.

You’re the channel that got me into K beauty this year! We have different skin types, but you’re a fair reviewer who’s usually spot on for what people with combo/oily skin would prefer in a product. I loved the Skin1004 centella smoothing cream as a summer moisturizer at my oiliest, and now that I’m dealing with some dryness because of the weather and adapelene I like using it in my active sandwich. I like it for a lighter weight sleeping mask option too regardless of the weather or how wrecked my skin is from being a little too overzealous with actives.
I’d say the new BOJ aqua fresh is another favorite but I’ve only had it for about a week so it’s still a little early to call it. I’ve never enjoyed another sunscreen so much before!

Also thank you so much for the *shhhhh don't want the bots to see this* we appreciate you 💜💜💜
My favorite k-beauty product is Abib Heartleaf spot pad calming touch💚
My favorite is definitely the P.CALM Cato Cream. It soothes and hydrates my dry and sensitive skin 😊
I really liked the Etude SoonJung Hydro Barrier Cream. Merry Christmas!🌲🌲🌲
Favorite product is the Tonymoly ceramide mochi toner. So much bang for your buck and my skin feels so nice after using it ❤
My favorite product of 2024 would be Lion pair Acne cream. Sooo sooo good. ❤ It's a life saver!
My favourite K-Beauty product is the skin1004 cleansing oil. It's the only thing that completely removes my waterproof mascara and I love that it doesn't even require a second cleanse like most other oil cleansers!
My favorite K-Beauty product of 2024 is the new formulation of the beauty of joseon sunscreen! Also love watching your videos ❤

Shot me in the heart about the tea trica - it has CHANGED my skinnnn! It’s SO good 😭
I did use up most of my 1004 products. They are great. Actually the sunscreen was my favorite.
My favorite this year hands down is the Numbuzin No.5 Vitamin Concentrated Serum. Such an amazing product for reducing dark spots!
I do love the 2023 sunscreen 🫣, and I have a backup on hand! I might try the new formulas regardless, but with oilier sensitive skin, I'm just stoked anything works and looks nice. My favorite K-beauty skincare product this year is the Heimish All Clean Balm - super reliable - and my favorite K-beauty makeup product is the MEMEBOX I'M Pep! Balm in Brink. I spent half the year rushing people to multiple appointments a week (all are fine now) with 3 minutes for makeup, and it was so versatile and handy!
This year my skin loved the Heimish Marine Care Retinol For Face Serum and the Heimish Moringa Ceramide Collagen Enriched Moisturizer. Both have such beautiful and elegant textures, finishes and packaging 🎉🩷🙂

-miguhara green tea calming essence cleansing foam. it's a very nice basic but reliable cleanser ; it's got that cream foam texture (similar, again, to the skin1004 one but slightly thicker) that means you need so little it lasts a really long time, it's suitable for sensitive skin and surprisingly non drying (definitely less than the aforementioned skin1004. idk why i keep comparing it to skin1004, i swear this is not shade i do also like the brand, i really enjoyed the probio cica ampoule this year!)
-derma:b cera md lotion. while it's not quite nourishing and occlusive enough for my dry skin (i really want to try their harder to find cream version) i can feel how much stronger my skin barrier is within a few days of use, my skin feels kinda plumper although it still gets dehydrated. it's meant as bodycare i think, but it doesn't add to my clogged pores and means it's a very economical size.
honourable mentions:
i've recently ran out of the cosrx galactomyces and dr ceuracle green tea essence and i can tell!! i've used the cosrx for so long i sometimes take it for granted but the hydration it adds to my skin is crazy, it just consistently makes my skin look better in a way i can't fully understand (maybe it's just really good at tackling my dehydration on the long term?). the dr ceuracle really helped with my winter dryness and although i'm currently trying out and enjoying the ordinary milky toner i can see myself re ordering the kombucha essence for how hydrating and moisturising it is.
My favourite kbeauty product has been the Mary&May Vegan Blackberry Complex Cream Essence! It's been getting me through all my rough patches for skin, from acne to extreme dryness! Honestly I also wanted to say thank you for giving us lots of content and very useful advice, as for someone who's newly gotten into skincare this year, it's been really really helpful :)
❤ I'm enjoying Axis Y eye cream. That roller ball just glides right on my eye area. And may I just say Thank You for all your content!❤
Heyooo a fav for me too hehe 😁 glad to hear you enjoy!
Alice, thank you for all the reviews you create for us. I have tried many products and like Tir Tir toner, like the whole probio line from skin 1004 but one product that stands out is harharu wonder black rice probiotic barrier essence ( milky version). It has transformed my dry skin which was mission impossible in Michigan winter months.
Favorite kbeauty of 2024 is the skin1004 centella ampoule. My skin drinks it up!
My favorite product was honestly the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Bakuchiol Eye Cream. I was always hesitant to use an eye ream applicator, but this changed my opinion with how easily it glides and how gentle the formula is.
My favorite this year is the skin1004 centella ampoule. I use it everywhere!!! ❤
My favorite of 2024 is definitely the Skin1004 Madagascar centella ampoule! I’ve tried the brightening one and that one was nice, but the OG one just nourishes more somehow!
My favorite K-beauty product in 2024 has been the Chogongjin Youngan Jin cream. I discovered it thanks to your videos.
My favorite kbeauty product of 2024 has got to be the cosrx propolis toner! I never thought it could do so much for my acne but it healed my skin like nothing else!!
Jealous of your temps! My high for sat is 13° and sundays supposed to be a balmy 8°😅 I just keep telling myself its important for my local flora and fauna, which I love so dearly.
Though one of my top favorite activities is walking ny dog during snow storms when the giant flakes create a muffling affect and the world gets quiet, except the sound of snow crunching under foot. It's a special time of year. Happy holidays, Alice!
Ok you know what, that does sound special! Meanwhile, all I can say is that I saw a few snowflakes falling from the sky once 🥲
Happy holidays!!
My favorite K-beauty product of 2024 is the Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum Ginseng + Retinol.
Thank you and happy holidays Alice 🎄
Thank you so much for helping me decide which Centella ampoule to try! My favorite beauty product is Numbuzin 3 Toner Pads - fabulous for travel
My favorite K-beauty of 2024 is a 3-way tie 😂 between the Cosrx Propolis Synergy Toner, Missha Time Revolution First Essence 5x, and Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum!! Thank you for all your hard work in 2024 and cheers to 2025! 🎉
My favorite k-beauty product is cosrx propolis toner, my dehydrated skin really loves it ❤️🎉
Am I just noticing your fancy nails??💅 also my fav for this year happens to be the Skin1004 poremizing toner. As someone with oily skin and large pores, it has seemed to minimize their appearance and works well with a bha du jour in my a.m. routine.
My favorite Korean skin care product this year has 100% been the Abib probiotic rice barrier jelly, it has been a game changer this year and now a holy grail!
My favorite product of the year has been the BOJ revive serum. My first time using retinal and this formula is so gentle and has really amplified my routine. Like people actually commented on how well my skin looked after starting it 🥹
Thanks for another great vid Alice. And interestingly, my HG that I finally tried this year was indeed their Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum! I thought I had found my HG sunscreen with Haru Haru (yellow tube), but no - Skin1004 for the win! The finish is perfect. Just enough glow, but not shiny or greasy. Simply amazing. Merry Christmas Alice!
this video reminded me to repurchase the Madagascar centella ampoule! my favourite products have been sheet masks - specifically the Abib Mild acidic pH aqua fit sheet masks. they make my skin feel so hydrated and plump!
My fave K Beauty product i'm using right now is OMICEL Night Cream Injin Mugwort. As a dry skin type I rarely find K Beauty moisturizers that really meet my dry sensitive skin needs (a few only) but this one is definatly one of them 🧚♀🎄🌟
The new formulation of the Aestura Ato barrier together with the pro bio Cica ampoule from Skin 1004 was my most loved discoveries for 2024. Thanks for being a youtuber that actually offers some valuable knowledge;edge in your videos. I truly enjoy your content. So hi and some honest gratefulness to you from a mid aged menopause skincare hag from Sweden! 🎄❣️
Thanks for the video and the giveaway, Alice! So many favorite K-Beauty products! I’m going to go with the Missha Chogongjin Youngan Jin Cream ❤ Patiently awaiting your review of the overnight cream!
My favorite kbeauty product of 2024 is the I'm from ginseng mask! Did not realize a washoff mask could do this much. My skin feels taut and firm, days after using it!!! Instant HG😊
Hi Alice, my favourite k-beauty product of 2024 is also SKIN1004 Centella probio-cica line. And of course I love round lab, birch line =)
My skin has transformed this year. Skin 1004 centella ampoule is my fav. It was on your channel is where I first learned about it. Thank you!
My favorite k-beauty products of 2024 are: Numbuzin 5+ serum and beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum Ginseng + Retinal. But I have been really wanting to try the Skin1004 Pro-Cica line!
My favorite K Beauty product of 2024 is the Round Lab Birch Juice SPF 50. It’s hydrating enough for the winter but doesn’t clog my pores. Followed closely by the Make Prem Safe Me Relief Essence, in layers for my dehydrated skin. I just started using K Beauty a few months ago and it’s already transformed my skin!!
I'm almost 54 and have just begun exploring Korean skincare. I've been using the Mixsoon Bean Cleansing Oil and the Mixsoon Bifida Toner Pads. I love them! I guess there's much more to explore next year.
Favorite Korean product thus far is the yam root instree products that you have suggested!! Would love to try these!!!!!
I am having the hardest time picking a favorite… probably because it’s been about a year since my first time trying K and J beauty and it has done WONDERS for my skin. A few favorites:
1. Lion Pair Acne Cream - I’m so glad you highlighted this on your channel, it has made such a difference in the inflammation and pain from my stubborn hormonal acne.
2. I’m from Mugwort toner and mask… sooo soothing, hydrating, and I absolutely love the smell! I lovingly refer to it as my swamp mask 😂
3. Anua heartleaf toner! What can I say, your recommendations have never steered me wrong! It is so versatile and it never stings. I have lots of toners I enjoy but this is one that I have purchased multiple big bottles of… I don’t want to be without it!
Ohh yay!! So happy to hear you are enjoying these!! 😁
Lion Pair Acne cream - is a Japanese acne cream. I love it too. It helps for a big pimple w/o ruining the skin around, unlike BP.
My favorite K-beauty product of 2024 has been the Anua heartleaf toner. I have very similar skin type as you, dry but acne prone and this year I finally tried it on your recomendation. I ended up loving it 😍😍 It' s so calming and soothing on my skin, it's now my favorite toner!
From Skin 1004 my favorite products are the hyalu- cica sunscreen and the centella ampoule ❤
all my favorites.. I've been using 1004 light serum in the morning in summer and pro bio cica at night during winter.. it's summer now so only light serums. also using the ampoule foam cleanser.. so luxurious for my combo skin ❤
My favorite of 2024 has been the Mary & May Blackberry and Idebenone intense cream. So nourishing and I love how it wears under makeup. It makes my skin feel so healthy and glowy throughout the day!
It’s so hard to choose just one because 2024 was the year I discovered K Beauty. The first products I used were a collection of Round Lab, so the birch juice sunscreen might be my favorite. For now.
My favorite K-beauty product this year is Skin1004 hyalu-cica water-fit sun serum. I went through 5 this year, gave away 4 and just got 2x100ml tubes for next year. I also have been advertising this sunscreen to pretty much everyone i know 😂 I love this brand and I love your channel ! ❤
My favourite is the Pyunkang Yul Ato Cream Blue Label. This is just so healing for my dry skin.
Have a happy Christmas ❤
I really began my journey of using K-Beauty this year after finding your channel! (Or at least, buying ones available only through places like yes style and not just Sephora and Ulta brands)
So far the two I’ve loved most are the Manyo bifida ampoule and the Skin 1004 Madagascar Centella serum!
I can’t wait to try more things, now I’m dying to try that cleansing oil!!
My favorite korean skincare of this year is Mary and May blackberry complex cream essence. It feels so so amazing... like a liquid moisturizer but so silky and soft and bonus it is pretty pink 🤣🩷 Thankyou so much for introducing it to me, along with SO MANY other products (my wallet isnt so happy with you... or me lol but my skin is!!)
Hope you and your gal had the most amazing christmas 🎄🎅🎁☃️ wishing you all the best in 2025
My favorite k-beauty product of 2024 is the Medicube Collagen Night Wrapping Mask. It's so fun! But I love Skin1004 and bought a bunch of it as x-mas presents. Thanks for all you do!
Honestly sunscreen is the Kbeauty product category that changed my life! I only started using sunscreen when I discovered Kbeau sunscreen! My favorite kbeauty product this year is literally the Hyalu Cica Water Fit Sunscreen! 😂 Okok yes I tried the Tea Tree sunscreen as well but it's too dewy for me! That's why I love the Hyalu Cica one, it takes no time to apply! Hopefully to have it restock by Yesstyle please? 😜
My favorite K-beauty product of 2024 is the Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Enrich Cream! I’m right there with you on the excitement about this whole line lol. dry skin solidarity 🙂↕️✊
My favourite k-beauty product of 2024 has been the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water Fit Sun Serum. I live in the cold UK and i can wear this sunscreen all year round on top of thick creams. It never pills or messes with my makeup either.
My favorite K beauty product of 2024 is the RNW Ceramide Plus. I have been through 3 bottles. For my husband, it is the Skin 1004 Brightening Tone Ampule. He has finished 2 gigantic bottles. Love you Alice ❤
I really like skin1004 Probio-Cica line 😍. Just started using this year & it’s great for me 😊
I love the cleansing oil and rice mask ( sm ) and BOJ ) thanks for video 🎉❤
My favorite product is Isntree Yam Root Vegan Milk Cream. This moisturizer really soothes my very sensitive skin.
The Probio Cica Glow Ampoule is my favourite sunscreen of all time now! It's so lovely and glowy 😊
The ampoule from the same line is also one of my holy grails. Such amazing products!
Hi Alice! You look stunning with this outfit and makeup! My fave K beauty product this year has been BOJ radiance cleansing balm. I've repurchased twice! Melts everything away and rinses off clean, very gentle no fragrance and a big jar for the money.
I am going to sound so boring but the Cosrx snail mucin is my fave this year. It is the first time I have tried it! Happy Holidays Alice and everyone!
My favorites are the Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Aqua-fresh sunscreen and the COSRX Alpha-Arbutin 2 Discoloration Care Serum.
Really appreciate this style of review! My favorite K-Beauty discovery in 2024 was the Isntree Yam Root cleanser! It's hard to go back to gel cleansers after experiencing such an beautiful, moisturizing cream texture in a cleanser. My favorite of all time would have to be the product that started my love for K-Beauty skincare: the Laneige Cica Sleeping Mask. Calms down my acne prone super dry skin like nothing else.
My favorite kbeauty products this year are Skin1004 Hyalucica sunscreen, Axis Y dark spot correcting serum. Both helped so much to lighten my acne marks!
My favourites this year have to be
1. Beauty of joseon Relief Sun Aqua-Fresh : Rice + B5 (SPF50+ PA++++)
2. SKIN1004 - Madagascar Centella Ampoule
3. Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Cream
Thank you for your suggestions and feeding me addiction!
Oh my gosh, this is so hard!! I love the Axis-y eye serum that you recommended. Another eye cream that I really love is the Haruharu wonder black rice eye cream. I'm almost out of both of those and will need to re-order. I'm very impressed with the Annua heartleaf toner, and of course, the skin 1004 Centella light cleansing oil. I love TirTir's SOS serum, and the Numbuzin sleeping mask. I love just about any Korean sunscreen but right now my favorites have been the skin 1004 Centella sunscreen and the new Beauty of Joseon sunscreen. I like it much better than the original which left a little bit too much glow on my older skin.
I also really love the Heimish BB cream--I feel like it's a really beautiful product although I can't get the exact color match and I end up having to mix it with the Purito BB cream which is just a little bit too, Matte for me to use on its own.
Oh, I just recently discovered something that has been helping my extremely sensitized, probably barrier compromised skin, which is experiencing some dermatitis right now. And one of the only things I could use as any kind of a toner was the farm day, snail mucin toner.
These are the things that came to mind immediately, but if I opened up my drawer and really looked around I bet you I'd come up with a lot more.
Such a good list!! There really are so many incredible options in K-Beauty
I think that might be my issue with the Heimish BB cream too - i tried it again recently and I like it, but there’s something a smidge off (it’s probably the color, my slight bit of green throws everything for a loop haha). It’s worth playing around with though; I’ll get to the bottom of it 🤣
I must be stuck in 2023 bc I’m still obsessed with the Skin1004 sunscreen but now I’m excited to try others!!
My favorite product of 2024 is the Manyo Bifida Biome Complex Ampoule, fixed my barrier after a series of bad choices and just made my skin.. stronger I'd say. Can't live without it now, already got 2 backups🙈🙈
Also I'd like to mention how much I love the Skin1004 Probio-Cica Intensive Ampoule. I have combo to oily acne prone skin and I really didn't expect to like that ampoule so much, but it turned out to be perfect for winter, deeply hydrating while not too heavy and it didn't break me out. I definitely would like to try other products from their probio-cica line.
This was such a great video! I need to try more of their products, but my favorite this year have actually been the Skin1004 Probio-Cica Cream. Your correct in saying that most of the moisturizers in K-beauty are not thick and moisturizing, this one is and I'm obsessed lol. I usually use thick moisturizers throughout the year and only use the moisturizer that are a mixture between a gel and cream in the morning of the warmer months. I really want to try the whole Probio-Cica line.
My favorite product of the year is the haru haru wonder essence. I have dry skin and always had problems with remaining moisturized while out for half the day at school and would need to reapply a face cream after a few hours. This product with the rest of my routine leaves me comfortable and moisturizing and has never caused any irritation. I love it 💕
My fave is Lion Pair cream. Finally tried this year because of you and absolutely loved it! Definitely needed it in my life. ❤
My favorite product this year has to be the new BOJ sunscreen. I adore the Skin1004 cleansing oil. I was gifted a Beauty Counter cleansing oil and trying to work my way through that. It’s heavier and extra work to scrub off the skin otherwise I get a greasy residue. I miss the Skin1004 every time I use it.
Cosrx snail mucin! Its been so calming and repairing for my skin, wow. Am impressed!
VT reedle shot and skin1004 sun serum are my favourite discoveries of 2024! They've helped immensely with texture and given me glowy skin respectively :)
Can't wait for what 2025 brings
(Haruharu cleansing oil gets a special mention since it's got me looking forward to cleansing😅)
My favorite Kbeauty product of this year is one you recommended! Haruharu wonder - Black Rice Probiotics Barrier Essence - such a game changer!
I absolutely love your channel, it's one of my favorites! It always makes my day and I learn so much.
Hey Alice! My favourite product of 2024 has got to be the Isntree vegan yam root cream. Love the texture and how it keeps my skin comfortable all day 😍
I tried the Mary and May Vitamin C sheet masks and they really did help to brighten my skin. I use them once a week, don’t even need to use them daily to see the effect. Happy Holidays Alice! Thanks for all the great content this year😊
Ooh I just got started on my K beauty journey this year! Discovered an overwhelming amount of products but out of all that I’ve tried so far - Tirtir milk toner has become a staple. I never had any toners in my skincare routine because I once used a really bad one which inflammed my skin. Cannot wait to try Anua toner soon!
My skin is super acne prone and a lot of sunscreens give me acne but the Beauty of Joseon sunscreen stays beautifully on my skin. I have been getting more sunshine this winter because of it!
P.S. absolutely love your honesty and your channel has become my go-to trusted guide. Thanks! 😊
My favorite of all time is the B5&propolis cream from Cosrx. Perfect for winter and dehydrated or dry skin. ❤
I just ordered a new Skin1004 sunscreen, and I do have a few more of their products. I really enjoy this brand!❤
My favourite K-beauty product this year was the Skin1004 soothing 'cream', it was the perfect summer moisturizer for my combination skin.
My favorite K-beauty product of 2024 has to be the Soon Jung 2x Barrier Intensive Cream. I unfortunately developed some new skin allergies recently but I found this cream to work well for my sensitized skin.
My favorite of 2024 is a relatively new one, Axis-y dark spot corrector glow toner. I love the fine mist ❤
I looooooved the skin 1004 probio cream!
Your makeup is so flattering, absolutely gorgeous...
Kisses from Greece
My favorite k beauty product in 2024 is the Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Airyfit sunscreen. I know it's not a new product but it's my new found holy grail sunscreen! I also don't like glowy sunscreens and this one is much less glowy than other k beauty ones. It goes on like a dream, doesn't pill and doesn't sting even when my skin barrier is compromised. Can't ask for more!
