What do you guys do for ingrown hairs on your body? Do you use chemical or physical exfoliants? What does your routine look like? I’ve noticed more ingrown hairs on my body which is pretty out of the blue, so I’d like to see what I can do for them. Thanks guys!

Ingrown hairs

hi guys, i’m interested in adding an antioxidant serum into my morning routine. i’m currently using azelaic acid for my AM routine and i’ve also heard resveratrol is a good antioxidant as well, but i can find more vit c serums online and offline so i’m currently leaning a bit towards vitamin c.

do you have any vit c recs for a vit c beginner like me? also drop your favorite antioxidant serums too please, i’d love to hear them!

best sunscreen

i’ve been interested in the axis y glow serum for a while now, but i’ve also read good reviews about the glow serum from beauty of joseon. i have oily, acne-prone skin that tends to get dull sometimes, so i’m wondering which one is more suitable for my skin? or maybe if any of you have tried both of these products, please share your thoughts! 

p.s.: i don’t get pimples as often as i used to, but there are some PIE scars left i’d like to get rid of

which is the better serum?

i want to know what your favorite foam cleansers are! i’ve been interested in the soon jung whip cleanser from etude house, but i’m still keeping my options open. please share your picks 🥰

haven’t had any bad experiences with it yet

i tried the scented version before this one and although i had no problem using it, i still wanted to try the unscented ver once i emptied it. this serum is packed with amazing ingredients with barrier repairing properties, such as ceramide and centella. it really helped soothe my skin when i had a flare up, and i find it to be very hydrating too. will repurchase!!

although i have oily skin and this moisturizer was supposed to be suitable for me, i didn’t quite enjoy using this as much as i hoped. this doesn’t feel like using a moisturizer, which some people might like, but it makes me feel like my skin isn’t moisturized enough. i like the dewy look and this moisturizer not only goes against that, but it feels “dry”. i have oily skin but i prefer products that make my skin feel like it’s drinking water and this doesn’t fit the criteria i’m looking for. the packaging might also be unhygenic and the price point might be a deterrent for people who prefer using affordable skincare.

this is a good moisturizer for people with oily skin who doesn’t like their face to have the “greasy” feeling after putting on a moisturizer. it makes the skin feel softer and appear smoother too, and the final result doesn’t give a glowy look. the packaging is really cute too.

i wasn’t sure whether to rate this 3 or 4 stars. unfortunately, this didn’t help with hyperpigmentation at all for me. every time i try to commit to using this daily, i get tiny spots or rashes all over my face. it’s sad because i know it’s a good product with lots of great reviews and i wanted it to work on me so bad, but it didn’t. i use this on my body instead and it’s been fine so far. this comes in a glass bottle too, which is really nice, but isn’t travel friendly. i’m still open to their other products though!

this is a beginner-friendly product and hydrates the skin really well. it also has a lot of good claims, such as being fragrance-free.

the packaging isn’t travel friendly, so i had to transfer some of the oil into a travel-friendly bottle when i want to bring it with me. it’s also a little bit more pricey, but it’s worth it.

this has a very light texture compared to some other cleansing oils, but it’s not too light so it’s still effective in getting gunk out of your skin and cleansing away impurities. it’s fragrance-free and it doesn’t sting when it gets in my eyes. it glides easily when i used it to massage my face too!

none. i enjoyed using this, although i do prefer using toners that hydrates more than this.

this is a very basic toner with great ingredients. it has a runny consistency and it hydrates the skin well. it’s very light on the skin, so this can be used by oily skin types as well. it’s a no-fuss hydrating toner and i think it does its job well!
