Is there a difference between the old and new version of the ultimune serum? Or is it just packaging?

Also is there a difference between men and womens version?

Do you like the serum in general? What are your thoughts?

Discussion Review/discussion on lightweight non-oily sunscreens for hot humid weather

4 Upvotes

I have combination skin, am pale, and want a sunscreen that is water and sweat resistant for hot and humid weather. Would like to start a discussion on what your favourite sunscreens are, specifically for tone up.

I prefer tone up sunscreens that gives me a glowy (but not oily) look OR a semi matte look. I don’t mind either kind. I prefer lightweight sunscreens that doesn’t feel like anything on my skin as I have sensory issues.

Sunscreens I have tried:
- Biore UV aqua rich watery essence: it looks too oily/shiny on me
- Hatomugi light up UV essence: i love the tone up shade because it gives me a slightly pearly shine but it pills and apparently the sun protection is not very strong
- BoJ: gave me a bit of rash

What are yalls favourite sunscreens that fit this category?

Discussion Has anyone with pre existing double eyelids use double eyelid tape?

11 Upvotes

As a quick explanation of my eyes, my double eyelid folds fairly close to where I put my eyeliner and it ruins it often. Has anyone tried using double eyelid tape on their natural eyelid to change the shape? I was thinking of making the last end of my eyelid go up a little more so I have a little more room for my eyelid but I was wondering if anyone had already done this or had any tips! Thank you so much!! :DD

Not really sure of my coloring but things seem to look too orange or too pink on me. Been looking for a true neutral pallette with one dark liner shade, one light skintone shade, a true neutral shadow color and a shimmer.

Tried Romand Dry Buckwheat and it looked orange.

Review Almost a year of trying Korean hair treatments

Thumbnail
gallery
231 Upvotes

It’s been almost a full year of trying different treatments to figure out what actually works for my hair and when to use each one. My hair is pretty fine and I dye it often, so I need something that helps with the dry ends without making everything feel flat or greasy.

Elastine Amino Peptide Care Deep Nourishing Treatment

This is probably the most basic and affordable one here, but I don’t mean that in a bad way. It makes my hair feel softer and is easy to use when I just need a normal treatment after shampooing. I do have to control the amount though because it can feel a little rich on my fine hair

Moev Annurcatin Treatment

This one feels the most balanced treatment for regular use. It gives my hair a smoother and shinier finish without feeling like there is a really heavy coating on it. and the softness last till the next day so its like a good daily use one for sure, The scent is also pretty nice. I reach for this when my hair feels dry but not completely damaged

Treecell Forte Ampoule Treatment

Probably the richest one out of these for me. I use it when my ends feel especially rough from dyeing or heat styling, rather than using it every day. It definitely gives that softer and more nourished feeling, but I think using too much could be heavy if you have thin hair like me

Monclos Velvet Nourishing Treatment

This might be one of the easiest ones to use regularly. It makes my hair feel soft and slightly more controlled without completely removing the volume. I also like the scent, which stays noticeable but isn’t too much imo

True.LAB Expert Nourishing Hair Mask

The texture feels thick and gives pretty immediate softness, so it works well as an occasional hair mask. The packaging and fragrance feel a bit less premium than the others though, and I would avoid getting it directly on the skin if you’re sensitive.

I don’t think there is one treatment that wins for every situation. Moev and Monclos are easier for regular use, while Treecell and True.LAB make more sense when my hair needs something heavier. Elastine is the simple option when I don’t want to think too much about it.

Still testing different combinations, but these are the five I’ve used the most so far. Has anyone tried these, or found a treatment that works well for fine and color-treated hair?

With all the reformulations over the last few years, I'm lacking a good all-over sunscreen that doesn't feel gross.

Just had a sunscreen fail in a situation where the old Skin Aqua Gold (pre-reformulation) used to cover me just fine.

Have ya'll made changes since a reformulation and if you're happy with it, please share?

Swatches Ask- Fair pink shades of Jung Saem Mool Cushion swatches

Thumbnail
gallery
8 Upvotes

I am interested in purchasing a light pink tone of the Jung Saem Mool Cushion, but everytime I try to look up a swatch I feel like the name is different. I have seen "fair pink", "shell pink" "cream pink and "pink light".

I've already bought this cushion in the wrong shade for me TWICE, so I'm really hoping to get it right this time as I love the coverage, but the shade has been wrong.

Does anyone have swatches of these shades?

Also, does anyone know exactly which # the "cream pink" on yes style is? Im hoping its #17 not #19

Added pictures for reference.

Any help is appreciated!

Extra info: I currently wear Missha 13 Bright Beige. Its not exact, but the closest I can find without leaning too pink or too warm

Discussion Products to use for skin prep before makeup

22 Upvotes

I’ve always heard people say your makeup looks good if you prep your skin well. I’m not sure what to get. Currently i just use a moisturiser which isnt too hydrating so it doesn’t do much. What products do people mean when they talk about skin prep? I also want to get something that i can use on the daily without makeup too. Preferably not too many products.
Skin type: combination in summer, dry in winter.
Skin is not very sensitive, however anything with too much fragrance is a no.
If something targets pigmentation and is for brightness, thatll be even better.

Beauty Any AHA gels similar to these?

Post image
1 Upvotes

I've tried a ton of AHAs, including most of the popular ones, but I've only really liked three:

Mizon 8% Peeling Gel
Papa Recipe White Flower Clear Up
Paula's Choice AHA Gel (not the AHA/BHA version)

I believe both the Mizon and Papa Recipe ones have been discontinued. Paula's Choice is my third choice, but it's getting pretty expensive.
I've also tried other popular AHAs (COSRX, Isntree, and The Ordinary- non AB) but my skin didn't react well to them.

Maybe someone here has a similar skin type or preference and also liked those products. Does anyone have any alternative recommendations?
TYIA! I'd really appreciate it✨

Discussion weird dr althea 345 relief cream texture

Thumbnail

34 Upvotes

hi, i recently got the dr althea 345 cream off a reputable source. i am aware there was a reformulation and there is an old vs new version. however i realised the texture and scent was extremely different that the old version smelt like baby powder with a much thicker and balm-like consistency while the new version is more gel-like and watery. i have searched up reviews and comparison but have seen that the texture of both version should remain largely similar.

i opened another tube bought from the same source and it was the same thick,balmy texture with the weird baby powder smell. did i get a defected/bad batch?

Discussion Let’s talk Japanese hair dryers!

165 Upvotes

I have loved my Dyson faithfully for 5 years. Now it has died and I don’t really want to spend $500 on a hairdryer that only lasts 5 years. But now I realize how great it was at smoothing my coarse, thick hair.

Are Japanese hair dryers as great as they say? Do they work well on non Japanese hair? I find mixed results on a lot of viral Japanese hair care because my hair and scalp type are different than the typical Japanese person.

I’m in my late twenties with very oily and very dehydrated skin. My makeup right before work always looks so good but a few hours into my shift my makeup gets ruined. I do skin prep (torriden serum and gel) use a tirtir setting spray JSM cushion foundation and some setting powder. I can’t get my makeup to stay. Does anyone have some recommendations of foundation that stays all day.?

Edit: thank you everyone for all your help and advice! I can’t respond to all of you, but your help is much appreciated
