my first empties post since joining and lurking through this sub!!!
will be repurchasing:
-
illiyoon ceramide ato concentrate cream: a lightweight simple moisturizer that’s been so integral in my tret routine! the texture isn’t too creamy like the lotion version is and the ceramides in this are great for the skin barrier
-
tretinoin: my absolute holy grail skincare must have!
-
round lab sunscreen: i’m on my 3rd bottle!! goes so well under my makeup and doesn’t give a white cast 🫶 it has this rlly subtle scent that i like that might be from the birch juice
-
the ordinary niacinamide: honestly my 10th bottle… i started using her during the pandemic (thank you hyram!) and she’s been with me ever since
not repurchasing:
-
beauty of joseon cleansing balm: i decided to switch to a cleansing balm (from an oil cleanser) bc i hated the feeling of oil on my skin! this was a great introduction to cleansing balms but i want to try something that melts more into my skin
-
torriden dive in mild sun cream: i wanted to try a physical sunscreen but this just gave me a white cast. it could be good for days when you’re outside in the sun more and not wearing makeup since physical sunscreens are more so used for those types of situations. i will be sticking to my round lab sunscreen for now 🙂
-
cerave daily moisturizing lotion: nothing wrong with this lotion! just need to finish another bottle of lotion
-
i’m from rice toner: this was actually my 3rd bottle! great gentle and hydrating toner for dry skin girlies. just need to finish my current toner (anua heartleaf toner)
-
soon jung 2x barrier intensive relief: i got this bc it was heavily recommended in the asian skincare subreddit. i prefer the illiyoon one more just bc this was a bit too heavy for my liking. i also hated the packaging bc you had to twist the cap to get the product out and it was just an extra unnecessary step 🙄
-
oat-in calming gel cream: i’m just not a fan of the texture of gel… will be sticking to cream moisturizers 🫡
-
cosrx pimple patches: i have like 6 other packs to get through 🤣 but i do love these patches! i think there might be better ones out there on the market tbh but these are so affordable
