The 10-step Korean Skincare Routine has had a boost in popularity lately. I currently have the minimalist routine since I don't want to overwhelm my skin (and budget lol). Which one do you guys prefer and why?

Minimalist or 10-Step?

Personally, I look for hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and honey since my skin needs it 😅. Wbu guys?

Ingredients you always look for in beauty products

I noticed that my pimples have been turning to wounds instead of flattening after a few days. I don't use any harsh products I think. My current skincare products are: 

Nivea Brightening Micellar Water (Alcohol-free)
Pond's White Beauty Facial Foam
Etude House Soon Jung pH 5.5 Toner
Celeteque Hydration Facial Moisturizer
Biore Nobi-Nobi Sunscreen for Kids SPF 50

What should I do about this :(

Pimples turn to wounds?

Due to overcleansing and being harsh and reckless with my skin in the past, I have a damaged skin barrier with hyperpigmentation on my nose and pimples on my t-zone :(. What do i do to fix this? :'(

The consistency is a bit too thin for me and it is kind of difficult to control the flow from the bottle sometimes.

Edit: I have purchased a full size bottle and it&#39;s not hard to control the flow at all!!

I don&#39;t see any other cons for this product ♡

I love this toner. It really helps hydrate my skin and it didn&#39;t break me out. I like how the ingredient list is short as well. It hasn&#39;t caused me any breakouts yet, and I really hope it doesn&#39;t because it&#39;s really good in terms of hydration.

Not much I can say about this except that I think it has been discontinued by Biore recently T^T.  It may be a struggle to find this online.

I LOVE this sunscreen. I love how it&#39;s really made for sensitive skin and provides sufficient UV protection. It also makes my skin look a bit dewy after application. The white cast from this sunscreen disappears after a short while upon application. There&#39;s also so much product for its price that it lasts me about 2 to 3 months. Definitely my holy grail sunscreen so far.

One con for this is I don&#39;t think that this sufficiently hydrates my skin at night. But I still use this in my nighttime routine and couple it with masks and a hydrating toner to compensate for the lack of hydration.

This was the first moisturizer I have ever tried. It is widely available and affordable in my country. It has a gel consistency and since I have combination skin, I gave it a shot. I have been using this product for 2 years now and I can say that it is good for people who live in a humid environment since it does not get you oily. I think that it performs well as an AM moisturizer. I did not get any breakouts from this product.

when i tried to put it on my face, i had a negative reaction. my face got all red the next day and i had a pimple. since then i&#39;ve just been using it for my neck and arms.

𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚛𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐 &amp; 𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚘𝚗
★★★☆☆
↬ i give this product 3 stars out of 5 since my skin reacted badly to it, but am still able to use it for hydration on other parts of my body.

𝚝𝚎𝚡𝚝𝚞𝚛𝚎    
↬ it has a thin consistency, just a bit thicker than water. it absorbs quickly on the skin

𝚜𝚌𝚎𝚗𝚝
↬ from what i can tell, it is fragrance-free. 

𝚙𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚊𝚐𝚒𝚗𝚐
↬ the ampoule is packed in a glass container that highlights the golden liquid inside. its dropper is slightly titlted at the end, which i think is very unique. the label is very minimalist as well. overall, i think the packaging looks very elegant and expensive. 

𝚝𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚝𝚜 &amp; 𝚎𝚡𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚎𝚗𝚌𝚎
↬ i tried using it on different parts of my body. it was able to hydrate my neck, arms, and legs.
↬ i have combination&#47;sensitive skin type.

I think that without proper lip care it won&#39;t be as moisturizing, since that has been my experience so far.

This is my holy grail lip balm. I love how it has SPF!! This is also the only lip balm that actually helps me keep my lips moisturized so far. Love it ♡
