    Korean skincare is more affordable and it actually gives you results that you can see in about two months... western brands are all about their pretentious brand names and their formulas never gave me noticeable improvements.... so I will keep buying the korean stuff.

      Hyun Min my point is against western style of recklessly branding... reason for I refuse to name such brands... for example: lets say madonna might be clueless about dermatology during all her career but then “she” comes out tomorrow with some overpriced skincare products and then a bunch of people will just go buy it because of the name related to it... not because of its ingredients... just because Madonna’s name is in the bottle....so people end up buying the name... not the product/results... I did that mistake years ago... a bunch of those products u will find at sephora... they created a hole in my wallet XD.
      Nowadays, I spend less than $18 for a product that actually fixes my problem. Yes... the package might look cheap, and the shipping takes more than a week...but it actually works! So...I will just keep buying the korean stuff simply because it works better for my face and my wallet.

      Overthemoon I’m glad you’re wanting to take care of your skin because of the boys and I hope for you to have a beautiful complexion as well 😁 also if aging is the problem then I suggest you stay away from products with alcohol. Cleansers and exfoliators are fine I believe, but it’s best to stay away from toners and moisturizers with alcohol since it makes your skin age faster. Also recommended serums and a nice sunscreen for protection 💖

    I love Korean skin care products. There are so many options, they are affordable, the quality is extraordinary but most importantly it works! Seriously, it is nonsense to pay for lotions, serums, eye creams, sunscreen, etc... for hundreds of dollars (ie Estee Lauder brands) the ingredients from Korean products are usually safer and much cheaper.

    i'm soooo happy with the result of my korean skin care routine. With $10 toner, serum, acne treatment. My acne and acne scars has almost gone now for only 3 months of use. The products i used don't contain alcohol, fragrance, and other ingredients that usually exist in non-korean skin care products.
    The korean beauty gurus also teach me a lot about ingredients that fit my skin so now i can choose my products more wisely instead of only relying on the product packaging that says 'anti acne' or 'brightening'

It seems every time I woke up in the morning, new acne popped on my face. The review said it is purging, but it last till couple months, so I stop using T.O, then I moved to K skin care.

    Hungarians were concentrating on good skincare and knew the importance of taking care of your skin for a long time. Usually a Hungarian woman has her trusted beautician who takes care of her skin, whom she visits regularly and is a friend as well. Going to your beautician is like visiting your club/spa. The best products are made in Hungary and plant or thermal water based and do not contain preservatives hence they are kept in the fridge and well, cannot be exported. The most famous is of course the Ilcsi product line.
    I came to the United States in 87 first and was appalled to see American women having blemished really not attractive skin and covering it up with heavy plasterlike makeup which most of the time didn’t even match their skin tone. Today they have much better skin but still spend more money on their nails than on their facials.
    In Korea from what I have seen is it is more a dermatologist whom you go to see if you want clean skin of even just to take care of a pimple. In Hungary your beautician will do that for you. They perform minor surgeries as cool as a cucumber. Needless to say dermatologists do all kinds of wonders for your skin there but well, those are more medical procedures.
    What gets me is the eyebrow thing in Korea. Apparently they color their hair but for some reason do not get their eyebrows shaped and tinted by a professional. Instead there is a whole wide selection of eyebrow pencils and shadows and tints and mascaras with which they try to match their eyebrows to their hair color. I am not even going to mention here what Americans do: color their hair but not their eyebrows so they look like wearing a wig. Especially men with dark brown hair and gray eyebrows is a sight that is killing me.
    But back to S. Korea: they also shave their eyebrows instead of plucking or waxing them. I don’t have to tell you that a shaved thing is always stubbly (see waxed legs versus shaved legs) so they need to cover it up with loads of concealer.
    In Hungary we have our eyebrows shaped by our beautician who plucks or waxes and tints it along with our eyelashes and then for a month we forget about it because it is always perfect. We have been waxing our bodies as well since like forever.
    So no South Korea didn’t invent the wheel. What they have is strong ambition and a smart business sense and the ability to evolve incredibly fast. A cutthroat local competition drives its international evolution and spread. Their products are very good and reasonably priced. I use and adore SK cosmetic products but whenever I go to Budapest my next day - sometimes same day - visit is to my old beautician.
    Other European country that are similar to Hungary in this respect and that I know of: Romania. Interestingly not France.

Their products are free of many dangerous stuff and I prefer investing more in skin care than makeup. They also make stuff which are not animal tested and the packaging is made from recycled materials inked with soy ink. Prices range a lot as they also have top brands and there are many drugs store type. Even if some didnt worked for my skin it didn't made things worse at least. You just need to find what goes well with your skin type. And their skin care routines are the best. I hope Koreans will keep doing good stuff.

But using the retinol and clean beauty without silicones, dyes, alcohol and fragrance has changed my skin. Its pricy but Drunk Elephant hits it all. Virgin Marula Oil clears and hydrates your skin. Legit GLOW. Then at night the TLC night serum with AHA and not synthetics is incredible. I use on opposite nights of retinol. All I need in the day is sunscreen (clean). I work with brands on product development and packaging and what we put on our skin gets into our bloodstream. There are numerous options for beautiful skin not just K Beauty. Its genius marketing. Many Koreans still use European skincare. Its what works for you.

Moisturise (self-explanatory. But you don’t need to go overboard and have 10 products. One good moisturiser will suffice) 3. Protect (i.e. wear sun cream NO MATTER WHAT.

    When I was still in the Philippines, I used Korean skincare products and helped my skin greatly. But then I moved to the US, and ran out of my products. I don't usually buy in Amazon (sometimes, products are fake like my CosRx pimple patch) so I bought directly from Soko Glam or Style Korea. While waiting for my products, I used American brands such as Neutrogena Toner, it smells alcohol and it's too strong for my skin T-T.
    I use CosRx, Nature Republic, Some by Me, and Innisfree for sensitive skin.

      I lived there 2 years back in the early 2002s. I was a Kbeauty junkie then, and my skin has stayed in amazing shape as I’ve been approaching 40.
      What amazes me is that they were doing things out there then that are just now making it to the US. They’re leaps and bounds ahead in a number of areas.

      I don’t know about taking over the world, but I do believe South Korean is a big influencer around the world.

    my skin was always really unstable and I would attack it with us products and astringents... when I switched to Japanese and Korean products that focused more on hydration and nurturing of the skin, my skin totally changed! it's amazing how my skin prefers the formulation of those products over American ones... whenever I see American skin products I'm always so wary to try them bc I always view them as being cheaper and just not as good
