When the Purito sunscreen ordeal happened, people questioned beet shield. In response, Liah Yoo said that if you question all Korean sunscreens, you’re xenophobic. She then told everyone that beet shield is safe to use, and still says it is even though she can’t disclose the spf results and is taking it off the market.

Earlier this week, I had already decided to not buy from Krave anymore after her treatment of BIPOC came to light, and how she goes to a homophobic church and won’t make her stance on gay marriage clear.

I loved and recommended beet shield to everyone I knew and now I’m sending them the refund form with an apology.

I loved their matcha cleanser and GBR but it feels wrong for me to still support such a problematic brand.

Does anyone feel the same? Is there a good sunscreen you can recommend? Or a GBR dupe?

Edit to add: I’m not here to change anyone’s mind. If you can’t live without these products 🤷‍♀️ I’m just letting those that are conscious about such things know.

Is anyone else disappointed with how problematic Krave Beauty is?

Our scalp is just an extension of our face right? I’ve been considering using hyaluronic acid after showering for my dry scalp. Does anyone have any thoughts on more skincare for scalps?

anyone use skincare for their scalp?

We need to hold all brands to the same level of transparency we expect from Korean brands now.

We should question all our sunscreen spf claims and make sure we know we are getting the protection that these brands are advertising.

I’ve always hated neutrogena sunscreen but that’s what my parents bought for us at the beach growing up; it is completely awful that sunscreen regulation is so poor in the United States and United States manufacturers and wherever else they’re made (Germany and the UK) should be held to the same standard of outcry and disbelief as Korean skincare.


*me feverishly checking if supergoop play has had independent tests done on it”
-please let me know if you have seen that they did


Here are some good sunscreens from this study! 

“The other four products to meet the claims on their labels were Cetaphil Sun Kids Liposomal Lotion SPF50+, Mecca Cosmetica To Save Face Superscreen SPF50+, Skinnies Conquer with Manuka Oil Sports Sunscreen SPF50+, and Nivea Sun Sensitive Protect SPF50.”

Neutrogena not living up to SPF claims

I won the isntree sunscreen awhile ago, and also won the cosrx giveaway!
While filling out the cosrx info, I saw that my isntree is currently unfulfilled; is this different for anyone else?

Has anyone received their Isntree giveaway products?

Can we talk about how Farmacy seemed to just blatantly copy these specific I’m From’s products? I’m From had these products before Farmacy. Has anyone tried this honey glow cream? How does it compare to the Farmacy honey halo?

Has anyone tried the I’m From honey glow cream? Is it a dupe for the farmacy honey halo?

Didn’t notice any major differences in skin improvement but it gets the job done of cleaning my face and feels great while doing so

Gentle, moisturizing gel cleanser. No strong scent, which I appreciate. It works into a good lather and does a great job for my second cleanse both during the morning and night

Can be boring but at least it’s a tad more exciting than the cetaphil cleanser or the etude house soon jung whip cleanser

Such a lovely cleanser and great for the price
It feels very similar to the cetaphil gentle cleanser but does a better job cleansing in my opinion.
It is also great value for the price and size

Sometimes it’s not hydrating enough and I need an emollient on top

Love love this cream. It applies well on mh skin and leaves my skin deeply moisturized. I actually prefer this to the snail all in one cream.

A little slimey, might not be for everyone

So hydrating! I love ths slip; it’s like a thinner version of the cosrx snail mucin. It has a tad bit of a slimey texture which I love. It’s very easy to layer between products, I love it and have four backups that I bought when they were on sale at Ulta.

It’s not deeply moisturizing but is probably god for someone with oily skin that wants a light daytime moisturizer

This is a decent everyday moisturizer.
It has a dewy finish with a very gentle shimmer and light scent. 
I like using it as a moisturizer under my makeup for a dewy finish.
It’s also a great price and can be found on sale at ulta sometimes.
