Where do you get your skincare products? Personally, I get a lot of my products from StyleKorean and YesStyle. But shipping fee is a bit expensive.

FYI, YesStyle has an affiliate program wherein you can get a lot of sponsored skincare and makeup for you to review! Here’s my referral link, if you’re interested:

Back to my question, share your fave stores below!

Where is your go to skincare store?

I was wondering about skincare enthusiasts’ reaction about the recent controversies about sunscreens. 

Honestly, I own some of the products in question and still like them. I wanna know if you own said sunscreens and are you still going to use them?

will you still use sunscreens in question?

Hello! I just wanna ask if it’s safe to use my iunik noni oil if it turned white? It’s new and when I opened my package it’s already that color. As far as I know its original color is transparent?

Thank you for the answers!

If a skincare product doesn’t have a period after opening (PAO) label in its packaging or container itself ——is it safe to assume that the product is okay to use until its expiration date, opened or unopened?

Specific example:

VT Cosmetics Cica Skin and Cica Cream don’t have any PAO labels.

products without PAO labels

Can you recommend moisturizers or hydrating products good for oily yet dehydrated skin?

Best moisturizer for oily skin

Toners are my favorite as they offer multiple benefits for the skin. For someone with oily &amp; acne-prone skin, a toner—that not only balances, exfoliates, and soothes skin but also brightens and evens out dark spots—is truly a dream come true in a bottle! This toner has a fragrance-free, watery formula that leaves skin dewy and hydrated without the tight or sticky feeling. By gently exfoliating my skin, it preps my pores and allows it to easily absorb moisture and nourishment from my next skincare products. The best part? It is extremely gentle and doesn’t cause any redness or irritation despite its exfoliating and brightening capabilities. I highly recommend using this day and night for faster results

Since the product is very light and easily absorbed by the skin, I tend to put quite a lot on my face (atleast 2 entire dropper). So I think the 30ml bottle is not enough especially for its price.

This serum is very effective in calming the skin especially when it’s breakout season. I like to apply this right after I cleanse and tone my face. It’s not sticky and has a loose gel like consistency. Tea tree oil scent is quite apparent but it’s not bothersome and doesn’t affect my sensitive skin. Based on experience, my skin works well with tea tree oil and I think its combination with Vitamin E is amazing especially in soothing inflamed skin.

Nothing! I love this cream and will definitely repurchase again and again!

This cream has a beautiful rich texture that creates a moisture layer outside the skin with an active ingredient called TECA. It is a purified extract of centella asiatica that is known to effectively repair skin barrier. It also brightens skin and prevents wrinkles. It’s my personal favorite and I love to use this at night as the last step to my routine.

Nothing, this is my go to cream whenver I’m on a brink of a breakout!

𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒂𝒃𝒔 𝑽𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒏 𝑬 𝑪𝒂𝒍𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑳𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝑪𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎 is the solution to troubled skin & weakened skin barriers. This hypoallergenic cream soothes, moisturizes and strengthens skin. It has a featherlight gel cream consistency that will not weigh down skin nor clog pores. I love how it looks like luscious cream but feels like a cooling gel when applied! It also helps me control excessive sebum production while ensuring my skin is healthy & hydrated!

It is a little pricey for a total of 20ml product.

It comes in two separate high quality glass bottles with a sturdy dropper. One might think, why would they put the same product in two separate containers? Well, this is to ensure that each bottle is fresh and we can enjoy it for a longer period since the product is prone to oxidation with its pure Vitamin C and antioxidant concentrates. We can use one bottle for three months after opening. I just love how well thought the packaging is! 

Its list of mighty ingredients can be quite overwhelming for some, especially for those with sensitive skin like me. That’s why I recommend to do a skin patch test first so you can confidently enjoy this ampoule. My tip is to use just a drop or two on specific areas where there are dryness, pigmentations, and fine lines. I like to use this during night time focusing on my stubborn dark spots and laugh lines.
