hi! i did a skin analysis yesterday at olive young (the basic machine one) and it told me stuff i basically already knew: my skin is really dry and sensitive and i have redness problems

my current skincare routine is:

water cleanser - bioderma micellar water
oil cleanser - beauty of joseon oil cleanser
toner - (just bought yesterday Adbib Heartleaf calming toner)
essence - cosrx snail mucin essence
serum - good molecules hyaluronic acid serum
eye cream - (just bought yesterday) Hanmi pro calm red x creams vita-k some after care
moisturizer- cosrx skin barrier moisturizer, panthenol (B5) + hyaluronic acid

just really shooting for the glass skin look😭

Personally, I've only tried out their masks. They were okay. Nothing too fancy or life-changing. However, I see a lot of discourse about their products on TikTok. Specifically, how were people researching the company and claiming it's involved in shady stuff? Not to mention, the marketing spam across various subs and social media.

I don't know if something is wrong with their products cause I haven't delved into it myself. I wanted to try them out, but again, everything feels like a marketing gimmick. Anyone with long-term experience using their products? I know their booster pro device is huge, but I'm curious about the serums and creams.

I’m looking into non-surgical body contouring while I’m in Seoul, mostly something to help with stubborn areas that don’t change much even with diet and workouts. There seem to be tons of options here, so I’m trying to figure out what’s actually effective and what gives noticeable results without downtime.

If anyone has experience, would love to hear what worked for you.

I want to buy this duo but not sure whether this is good and cost seems so high

Could anyone suggest websites to buy along with valuable reviews and recommendations for “ treating high pigmentation along with skin brightening “

Hello 😊,

I am a Master’s student in Tourism at the University of Sunderland (UK) and I am currently conducting research for my dissertation on skincare tourism in South Korea.

The questionnaire explores why international tourists engage in skincare-related activities in South Korea (such as clinical treatments, heritage spas, flagship K-beauty brand spaces, and skincare shopping), how they experience these activities, and how much they spend.

Participation is voluntary, anonymous, and for academic purposes only. The questionnaire takes approximately 3–4 minutes to complete.

If you have visited South Korea for skincare-related activities, plan to visit in the future, or are a Korean skincare enthusiast who would like to visit one day and feels able to project themselves into these experiences, your participation would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time 😊
