I was really surprised when I first used this sunscreen, because it has a strong, woodsy scent. 
To me, it smells of sandalwood and pine, which makes sense because it contains essential oils (EO) from those. 
Unfortunately, the EOs in this sunscreen were too much for me, and irritated my skin. 
Wish they’d come up with a version of this for sensitive skin. 

This sunscreen is creamy but not greasy, and blends in in a reasonable amount of time. 
It doesn’t leave a white cast, and has a natural to semi-dewy finish. 
My combination skin can skip moisturizer when I use this product.
This sunscreen is packed with lots of good ingredients like Niacinamide, Glycerin, probiotics, and bio-peptides from cranberries.  


Nothing bad to say about it, however I need more time with it to be able to make a conclusion about the brightening effects.

This serum has a delicious peach scent, and a somewhat syrupy texture. 

When I use it, it feels like I’m putting on a very thin peach jelly snack on my face… and that’s a good thing, because I love peach jelly. 🍑🫶

It leaves a slightly tacky feel which goes away as it dries. 

This serum claims to help clarify pores thanks to the betaine salicylate from peach yogurt fruit extract. 

It can help to brighten skin because it contains niacinamide and alpha arbutin. 

It also has hydrating ingredients such as glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and polyglutamic acid. 

Although it smells so nice, it doesn’t irritate my skin, when I’m usually so sensitive to products with fragrances.

This product costs around 18GBP for 50ml, which is still quite affordable for a serum.

If you’re watching out for dimethicone and essential oils, this product has those as well. 

It’s a creamy tinted moisturizer that has a bit of a wider color range than usual K-beauty brands. It has 6 shades: 21C Light Nude, 23N Light Medium, 23C Nude, 25N Medium, 27N Light Tan, and 31N Deep. For reference, my best match is 25N. 

It has physical sunscreen as ingredients: titanium oxide and zinc oxide. It also contains niacinamide (oil control/brightening), glycerin (moisturizer), tocopherol (antioxidant), ceramide (barrier strengthening), and moringa oil, of course. 

This moisturizer doesn’t have a noticeable scent. It feels a bit thick and creamy upon application, but is quite lightweight once you blend it in. 

It has a matte finish, and has medium coverage that could be buildable. It’s not transfer-proof, but it lasts quite a long time on me without needing a retouch (3-4H in warm weather). 

I like using the 25N as the base, and 27N as contour.

Just note that I don’t depend on this as my main sun protection. For me, it’s more of a makeup product that evens out my skin tone nicely and has the added benefit of sun protection. 

The price might be something I would think about before buying another bottle. I think i might wait for discounts. 

This ampoule contains a powerhouse of skin barrier-strengthening ingredients like Centella Asiatica, Ceramide NP, and 7 types of peptides! It also contains moisturising ingredients like Glycerin and Panthenol. 

It has no scent, and even though it is quite viscous, it doesn’t feel sticky on the skin. It feels quite silky upon application. I’m quite surprised at how light it feels when it dries down, because just based on its appearance, I was expecting it to feel thick. 

I’ve been using it for a couple of weeks now, and I think that it has helped soothe my skin when it’s irritated. I like using it on retinol nights. I think this would be a great addition to your routine if you have sensitive skin or if you’re trying to support your skin barrier.  

At full-price, this ampoule costs 23 GBP (28 USD). I think that this is around mid-range for an ampoule. 

It leaves a slight whitecast that disappears after a few minutes.

The Goodal Houttuynia Cordata Calming Sun Cream is a creamy yet lightweight sun cream that has medium thickness. 

It applies easily on my skin and has a natural to slightly dewy finish. 

This sun cream contains Houttuynia Cordata extract, which is a well-known soothing ingredient, as well as Tocopherol, which is an antioxidant. It also has moisturising ingredients like Glycerin and Propanediol. As someone with combination skin, I can use it in place of moisturiser. 

This is a very nice sunscreen that can be mildly soothing. I like using it now that the weather is getting warmer. 

It costs around 10-14 GBP for 50ml, which makes it quite affordable.
