I’m 60, what I use right now, as I’m in Northern Illinois, Is I’m finishing up a jar of the Pyungkang Yul Nutrition Cream. That is my last step in my night time routine. I also love adding in the 9 Wishes Hydra Anpoule toner. Very hydrating. If you need to add an occlusive on top, I use Pipette Baby Balm with Squalane. It’s not heavy like Vaseline but does the trick.😉❤️
I like the Aveeno Baby Balm because of the oat in it. It spreads easily, smells nice without added fragrance, and is suitable for those with eczema. It or straight shea butter are my occlusives of choice.
I’ve been so curious about that pyunkang yul nutrition cream! How does it compare to their other creams or any mentioned in this video? If you’ve tried any of them
Lol me too. I'm in Sydney literally dripping with sweat with illyoon on my face wondering why the f*** I keep suffocating my skin when it slides right off 😂😂 I'm truly a skincare nutter
I am 38 and have extremely dry eczema prone sensitive skin. I layer stratia liquid gold with Paula's choice ultra rich clinical moisturizer and both of these products are very soothing on my skin. La Roche Posay lipkar baulme made my face sting a lot, but I use it as a hand cream only.
Hi Kelly this is my skin all year round but particularly in the cold weather. I have extremely dry skin that is menopausal and with both rosacea and eczema- dry dry dry. Whilst I am more than happy to use petroleum based thick creams overnight and don’t care about greasy films etc, during the day I need something rich/buttery that will sit under spf and makeup. I’ve tried the Illyoon and was dry within an hour. The LRP is decent and a great value, but my two favourites are a bit more spendy unfortunately. The Paula’s choice ultra rich cream is a favourite and works extremely well for daytime for me, however my absolute favourite is the Kate Somerville Delikate cream as it keeps me moisturised until I do my evening skincare. I always buy it on sale or in a kit as I also like the cleanser and serum in the line, but it isn’t cheap. I did try a few others over the last few months looking for a more affordable option. They are: Mizon orga cream - not rich enough despite how thick it seems and needs oil added to make it work Glossier after baume - similar story it’s not rich enough as a moisturiser but does layer well over other things The Ordinary phytoceramide cream- this one is weird and sits on top of the skin feeling super dry/tight yet greasy on the surface of the skin. It does however work as a sleeping mask over a richer cream and that’s how I am using it up Avene Xerocalm cream-not rich enough to give lasting moisture despite being for face and body. It’s better layered over something else Beauty bay oat rich cream- far too lightweight and felt dry within an hour The hunt continues. It’s a very fine balance between being rich enough and too greasy to wear under spf and makeup for me. Best wishes x
Thank you!!! I was searching for this kind of topic on your channel a week ago. Just ordered the Etude House Cream yesterday😊I'm always super relieved that Etude House Soon Jung features "Propanediol" high on the ingredient list instead of the common "Butylene Glycol", because my skin is very sensitiv to it
I live in Quebec where we get extreme cold temperature and I downhill ski. I saved my skin and a couple of rosy cheeks with Uriage Bariderm insulating repairing cream.
I've tried the illiyoon ceramide cream (bought the travel kit) because my face, especially my cheek area, feels dry nowadays (I have combo skin, btw). But the cream is too heavy for my skin (I live in a hot & humid country btw), so I tried the ceramide ato lotion instead, which is also included in the travel kit. The lotion suits my skin better. It's more lightweight and moisturising for my skin. I rarely have flaky skin on my cheeks nowadays. The ceramide 6.0 top to toe wash is also good for face. Been using it for a week now, so far, my face doesn't feel dry & irritated.
Hi Kelly. I'm still loving Torriden Solid in this winter, got it based on your recommendations. I'm almost done with the first tube, but have a backup I bought during Black Friday. I use it together with Stratia LG, and RNW ceramide plus. My ceramide cholesterol fatty acid ratio should be good 😂😂😂. Sending love❤❤❤
Hi Kelly sensitive skin here,what i really enjoy from la roche posay is the body moisturizer with 5% urea the lipikar unfotunately feels like almost nothing.Also i use the brand sebamed its comes from germany.
Thank you for bringing up the smell of the Skinfix cream. I’ve never heard any other reviewers mention it, but I don’t care for it either. My bigger problem was with pump packaging. I’ve had other products with this style pump that worked fine, but once I got down about 2/3 of the product the pump action was very inconsistent and I was mostly pumping air. I ended up having to unscrew the jar to get the last 1/3 out, which was annoying, especially since I bought the large jar which was expensive. Maybe the large jar was the problem. Thanks for this video!
It's a weird and intense smell that took a while for me to get over! I haven't had an issue with the pump yet, but I'll definitely keep my eye out for problems. I never loved those types of push-down pump jars, always seems too complicated and messy.
The Paula's Choice clinical ultra rich moisturizer is really good for very dry skin. Also her lip and body treatment balm is phenomenal. It is the thickest, most occlusive balm I've ever tried. That balm is the only thing I've continued to repurchase, as her product line as a whole has become unaffordable.
I have a really good rich Korean cream I came across recently called Tirtir ceramic cream. It’s lovely and extremely thick and rich. Really good for keeping hydration in the skin as it’s quite occlusive
I used to use Differin cream for a while, now using the Geek and Gorgeous A Game 10, and after that I plan on stepping up dernatica, as I have been using OTC retinals and retinals for 4 years now. i have dry skin so I am always looking for thick creams, I have only tried Illiyoon and Soon jung and liked them both. Aestura cream is also very similar to Illiyoon and one of my faves. Soon Jung also have a balm cream which is really thick and great for super dry skin
Yasssss this video came at a perfect time! I almost exclusively use Korean skincare but recently fell into the rabbit hole of sales and new releases and bought the newest barrier repairing creams from DRMTLGY in a dark tub package and a brand new release from peach and Lilly. I see a lot more American ish brands coming out with barrier repairing exclusive products. Also drunk elephant is apparently also coming out with one for $69 😱 as well as biossance for $69 those two I just can’t imagine paying so much for. But anyway my point was these Korean/asian creams are 1000x better and so inexpensive and I’m so glad you share them because alot of people don’t know this kind of stuff exists and opt for the crazy expensive ones
Hey Kelly, love your channel you have helped me so much over the years! I am 62 with pretty resilient combination skin that leans oily in the warmer months but this winter for the first time I am experiencing some noticeable dryness, especially under the eyes and in my u-zone. I've been using Neogen's High R Exosome Cream in those areas and love it, so creamy and moisturizing but not completely occlusive so I top it with Isntree's Onion Newpair Gel Cream at night (as you recommended) and during the day with Make Beauty's Succulent Skin Gel Cream during the day as it is lighter and provides a great base for sunscreen.
I am obsessed with products containing the trade name L22. Geek and gorgeous happier barrier also contains L22 as well as Brandefy’s triple lipid cream. I notice anything with L22 in it never pills and always has a certain type of silky texture that I LOVE. I like Skinfix but ended up giving it to my 13 yr old daughter for extremely dry skin and it was like a whole new world to her 😅
Hi 👋 I have oily/combo, sensitive, acne/congestion prone skin. A moisturizer that I'm loving the the Ishizawa Labs Sukoyaka Suhada Urea Moisture Face Cream. It is marketed for very dry skin. But, I've found that it works wonderfully for my combo skin. While I wouldn't use this during the day (b/c it can be somewhat sticky) it is really nice at night. I like to just put it around my eye, mouth, and cheek areas. I experience no congestion (even though a lot of creams generally will cause some congestion on my skin) and there has been no sensitivity from using it. Worth a try!
Pyunkang yul black tea is wonderful . However I’m STILL struggling with dry skin ( think the driest you’ve ever had with zero oil production ) Night time I slather on sleeping masks ( three yes three as one just didn’t do it ) and still Face oils mixed in and now some castor oil over it all I am in need of the richest of the rich . I find Medicube collagen bubble serum is really moisturizing at night but am still on my quest . Oh to put on one cream after all the toners and essences and be done ( ps thank you for the Cosrx propolis toner - it’s yummy )
Thanks for all these recs!!! I am combination dry I think and use tret. Been loving Vanicream lotion and Vanicream regulare cream which I use depending on how my skin feels. Affordable and really good!
@@KellyDriscoll bioderma intensive baume has ceramides, fatty acids and cholesterol, glycerin, oils like sunflower etc it has good ingredient list eager to know your thoughts on those moistures😍🥰 😍🥰
I was not a fan of the illyoon cream, I don’t know how to describe it but the mornings after I used it my skin just didn’t look good. It feels like an oil free moisturizer. I just use it as a hand cream now, but won’t repurchase. The unfortunate reality of skincare😅 atleast it wasn’t expensive, but I hate when a product doesn’t work for me.
@@jeneeesaisquoiI’ve “swatched” it on my hand. It’s definitely got a different feel. Much lighter and less hydrating feeling. I still have a small stock of the old version that I ordered when I saw the reformulation to get through before I try the new. I ordered the new thinking it was just repackaged!
Hi Kelly! Love your videos and info So Much! I always look forward to your content and appreciate you sharing your wonderful knowledge! This particular video couldn't have come at a better time... I'm in Ohio and am dealing with crazy dryness I've never experienced before during the cold harsh winters here so I'm very frustrated.... Our skin changes as we age and ever since I hit the big 40 Nothing is "normal" anymore! Thanks again for the great ideas and helpful tips!! Keep up the GREAT work!❤😊
Thank you for the recommendations. Although I have dry to very dry skin that’s ridiculously sensitive, I decided to try the Illiyoon cream (mostly because I couldn’t get the Pyunkang Yul cream quickly). I also got the one from LRP. My husband absconded with the LRP and won’t give it back. For the first time, his skin doesn’t hurt or itch. He didn’t realize just how dry and parched his skin was until he started using it. That was the perfect recommendation for him. As for me, I’m stunned by the Illiyoon cream. I have never before found a cream that moisturizes my skin all night all by itself. I’ve always had to layer moisturizers to get enough to last through the night. I’ve been so disappointed by moisturizers that I questioned my judgment when I bought the tub (the only size available quickly). Now, I’m thrilled with it. And I rarely need to “slug” when I use it. Thank you so much!
Patch-testing the old Soon Jung cream right now for sudden dryness and fine lines (from LRP's hydrating gentle cleanser or an Olay SPF from Canada instead of the US). ETA It's unfortunate that brands unnecessarily reformulate successful products. Purito's Re-barrier Cream seems to break me out way more than the occasional whitehead from the moisturizing Soon Jung 2x (old formula). Bought (but haven't used) the Torriden Solid-In cream as well.
Thank you for this timely video. I started adding K beauty- skincare 6 months ago. That was when I discovered that my skin was dehydrated and not dry. During summer, a few layers of hydrating toners and a light moisturizer was enough. I chose to go with the torriden solid in ceramide serum as it was non greasy and could be layered. Heavier moisturizers caused whiteheads to pop up. But winter is a different story ! I was eyeing the Illiyoon moisturizer based on the great reviews. But I decided against it because ceramides were at the bottom of the list, as you mentioned. I was not sure how effective their patented ceramide complex would be. I may just try it based on your review !
Also not for the face (well kind of) but the torriden solid in is faboosh I have extremely dry lips especially during winter, it has been a lifesaver so far
I tried so many of your recommendations, you never disappoint. Right now I’m loving the new Paula’s choice ceramide cream. Is really helping me to keep my tretinoin use in the winter. Thanks for all you do Kelly 💚
I've actually covered that cream quite a bit on my channel! It was one of my favorites during 2022, I have a few videos featuring it, but it was in my best moisturizers for tretinoin video here th-cam.com/video/2G8QCs3y1Y0/w-d-xo.html
I'm testingthe purito dermide barrier relief at the moment as a night cream for my oily skin. It is working quite well at the moment! Also the bioderma atoderm cream is great though not sure if it is sold outside of france
Hi Kelly I am 50 and I have try all the super rich creams that you have recommended. And I wanted to know if you have try this one?LANBELLE Supernatural Hydrating Facial Cream . I love the texture and you will feel hydrated all day long.
Hey Kelly! Love the video ! That said, wanted to ask: Is the illiyoon concentrate cream OR the illiyoon ato lotion (lighter/less thicker than the cream) a better moisturizer for oily skin that may get dehydrated (due to skin barrier dehydration from retinol in the past)? Asking because of the formula change it underwent - thanks !
La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+ M Triple Repair Moisturize vs nivea creme- how would you compare those 2? i've tried moisturizers and found that only nivea creme works for my eczema dry sensitive skin (hands and face) although it always makes my face white and the whiteness does not seem to clear up until hours later (idk maybe im applying too much?). wondering if the la roch posey one would be just as moisturizing/hydrating as the nivea one but without the white cast that takes hours to become transparent.
Thank you so incredibly much! its coming into winter here and this is a wonderful roundup! The Etude House Soon Jung 2x Barrier Intensive Cream has changed formula a few times quite recently- Did the one you tested in your review contain the green tea- if its not too hard, would you be able to check the ingredients on the package please🙈? I noticed in a few reviews that its lighter than the original now but wasn't sure if the people reviewing it are just annoyed at the reformulation. LOL. the consistency/ thickness looks lovely in the video- not too overwhelming,wonderful for layering with essences and serums :) Thank you so incredibly much!
hi, Kelly! I bought PKY from your recommendation in May, but not this one, it was the blue tube ceramide cream !! was a bit heavy in summer but now IM IN LOVE ! thank you so much!!!! it's a shame it's going to end soon have you tried mary&may idebenone cream? I'm really eyeing this right now 😊
If I remember correctly the last time I looked into the cream it contained essential oils which I prefer to avoid in my skincare products. So I can't tell you much about the cream but I wholeheartedly recommend the serum!
Is there a nourishing ceramide cream out there for dry & dehydrated skin that doesn't have a ton of dimeticone? Sadly, my skin tends to be sensitive to it (itching and break outs) :/
Hey, Kelly! Just saw your video on Tret and it was spot on as well as this one! I was wondering if you could make a video on skincare when sick? Itd be great to see your take on that!
I was recently sick back in September. (I never get sick, so I was not prepared!) I mostly just used toner and oil in moisturizer. I didn't have energy for much else, La Roche Posay Cicaplast for my irritated nose helped too! I think it's important to reserve your energy and just do the basics that you can manage. When you're feeling better, you can get back to your established routine.
Any suggestions for products without fatty alcohols, Niacinamide, ferments or Phenoxyethanol? It's so hard to find good moisturisers for dry skin. For now I'm using the purito Oat in gel cream but it could better.
Dear Kelly please please help me, I have been researching this for weeks... Can I layer Copper peptide serum (1%) with Matrixyl 3000 serum (8%) without the potential of them itneracting in some way and reducing their efficacy? ( I started worry about this after I read on Timeless skincare website that the don't recomment layering their MAtrixyl 3000 serum with their MAtrixyl Synthe 6 serum due to potential interaction between peptide signaling activities (headbang). I want to layer copper with MAtrixyl because they work in different ways. I don't want to alternate days because all research is done on ingredients used daily, so maybe they are not effective used every other day? Please please help, this drives me to agony:D
The peptides interacting badly with other ingredients is wildly overstated and a fairly recent phenomenon with little to no evidence. I'd say layer away; there is really no harm. You can even use products like The Ordinary Multiple Peptide with Copper 1%, which includes copper tripeptide and matrixyl 3000 in the same formula!
Hey, Aestura would be lighter than the Illyoon in this video and thicker (but less oil rich) than the Skin Fix. I did include Aestura in my fall creams video this year and as @twinnnolaa19 mentioned I did a this or that between Aestura and Illyoon. This or that th-cam.com/video/xSLYQws2c18/w-d-xo.html Fall creams th-cam.com/video/1s7eQFK-MFE/w-d-xo.html
It's different for everyone, so I can't give you a specific timeline. For some, it's about 2-3 weeks for others, it can take a few months. It's important to follow the healing protocol and not use any exfoliants, retinol or vitamin C; that will definitely help you speed up the healing!
That Illiyoon cream did nothing for my dry skin. Felt oily and like it didn't penetrate to hydrate my skin enough. If you're looking for a cerave alternative, look elsewhere cuz Illiyoon is not it
love all your videos! i watch them as soon as they come out! one word of advice: the Roche in LRP is pronounced the same way you pronounced cockroach; sorry for the gross comparison!

Yayyy! So excited for this! I'm in desperate need of a super lush moisturizing cream or lotion that won't break me out!🤞❤🤞
Hi 👋
I have oily/combo, sensitive, acne/congestion prone skin.
A moisturizer that I'm loving the the Ishizawa Labs Sukoyaka Suhada Urea Moisture Face Cream. It is marketed for very dry skin. But, I've found that it works wonderfully for my combo skin. While I wouldn't use this during the day (b/c it can be somewhat sticky) it is really nice at night. I like to just put it around my eye, mouth, and cheek areas. I experience no congestion (even though a lot of creams generally will cause some congestion on my skin) and there has been no sensitivity from using it.
Worth a try!
Pyunkang yul black tea is wonderful . However I’m STILL struggling with dry skin ( think the driest you’ve ever had with zero oil production )
Night time I slather on sleeping masks ( three yes three as one just didn’t do it ) and still
Face oils mixed in and now some castor oil over it all
I am in need of the richest of the rich . I find Medicube collagen bubble serum is really moisturizing at night but am still on my quest . Oh to put on one cream after all the toners and essences and be done ( ps thank you for the Cosrx propolis toner - it’s yummy )
Thanks for all these recs!!! I am combination dry I think and use tret. Been loving Vanicream lotion and Vanicream regulare cream which I use depending on how my skin feels. Affordable and really good!
Hi kelly❤ my skin type is dry and dehydrated
I like bioderma intensive baume and bioderma atoderma cream they both are good❤🥰😍
Oh thank you for sharing, I'll need to check these out because I love everything I've tried from Bioderma!
@@KellyDriscoll bioderma intensive baume has ceramides, fatty acids and cholesterol, glycerin, oils like sunflower etc it has good ingredient list eager to know your thoughts on those moistures😍🥰 😍🥰
I was not a fan of the illyoon cream, I don’t know how to describe it but the mornings after I used it my skin just didn’t look good.
It feels like an oil free moisturizer. I just use it as a hand cream now, but won’t repurchase.
The unfortunate reality of skincare😅 atleast it wasn’t expensive, but I hate when a product doesn’t work for me.
I also love Aestura & Real Barrier moisturizers
Would love to see a video comparing the different K-beauty creams with Ato in their name.
Just the video I need! ❤ Can you please do a comparison between the original vs. reformulation of the Soon Jung 2x Barrier Intensive Cream? xx 😊
Yes! This! I’m still in mourning that they reformulated my HG. I’m super nervous about the addition of vegetable oil instead of the shea butter.
@@Opalescenttreeshark 😟 Have you tried the new formula?
@@jeneeesaisquoiI’ve “swatched” it on my hand. It’s definitely got a different feel. Much lighter and less hydrating feeling. I still have a small stock of the old version that I ordered when I saw the reformulation to get through before I try the new. I ordered the new thinking it was just repackaged!
My annual favorite moisturizer for winter is Paula's Choice Resist Intensive Repair cream.
I love DML Forte Cream. It's cheap and full of Panthenol.
You are absolutely a life saver. Could you please do a supplementation routine for skin?
Hi Kelly! Love your videos and info So Much! I always look forward to your content and appreciate you sharing your wonderful knowledge! This particular video couldn't have come at a better time... I'm in Ohio and am dealing with crazy dryness I've never experienced before during the cold harsh winters here so I'm very frustrated.... Our skin changes as we age and ever since I hit the big 40 Nothing is "normal" anymore! Thanks again for the great ideas and helpful tips!! Keep up the GREAT work!❤😊
Getting older always comes with some fun surprises! I'm glad this video was helpful!
Thank you for the recommendations. Although I have dry to very dry skin that’s ridiculously sensitive, I decided to try the Illiyoon cream (mostly because I couldn’t get the Pyunkang Yul cream quickly). I also got the one from LRP. My husband absconded with the LRP and won’t give it back. For the first time, his skin doesn’t hurt or itch. He didn’t realize just how dry and parched his skin was until he started using it. That was the perfect recommendation for him.
As for me, I’m stunned by the Illiyoon cream. I have never before found a cream that moisturizes my skin all night all by itself. I’ve always had to layer moisturizers to get enough to last through the night. I’ve been so disappointed by moisturizers that I questioned my judgment when I bought the tub (the only size available quickly). Now, I’m thrilled with it. And I rarely need to “slug” when I use it.
Thank you so much!
Did you buy from Amazon?
@@8bulletballers385 Yes. I wish I hadn’t needed it urgently. I’d rather buy elsewhere.
@@tinksspixiedust Like Stylevana? How was your experience with Amazon?
@@8bulletballers385 Yes. Most of the time, Amazon is pretty good.
Patch-testing the old Soon Jung cream right now for sudden dryness and fine lines (from LRP's hydrating gentle cleanser or an Olay SPF from Canada instead of the US).
ETA It's unfortunate that brands unnecessarily reformulate successful products. Purito's Re-barrier Cream seems to break me out way more than the occasional whitehead from the moisturizing Soon Jung 2x (old formula).
Bought (but haven't used) the Torriden Solid-In cream as well.
Thank you for this timely video. I started adding K beauty- skincare 6 months ago. That was when I discovered that my skin was dehydrated and not dry. During summer, a few layers of hydrating toners and a light moisturizer was enough. I chose to go with the torriden solid in ceramide serum as it was non greasy and could be layered. Heavier moisturizers caused whiteheads to pop up.
But winter is a different story ! I was eyeing the Illiyoon moisturizer based on the great reviews. But I decided against it because ceramides were at the bottom of the list, as you mentioned. I was not sure how effective their patented ceramide complex would be. I may just try it based on your review !
The Illiyoon has a been a staple for me since 2019, it really helps!
Also not for the face (well kind of) but the torriden solid in is faboosh I have extremely dry lips especially during winter, it has been a lifesaver so far
I tried so many of your recommendations, you never disappoint. Right now I’m loving the new Paula’s choice ceramide cream. Is really helping me to keep my tretinoin use in the winter. Thanks for all you do Kelly 💚
I love Purito dermide relief barrier moisturizer, surprise that it is not under your radar!
I've actually covered that cream quite a bit on my channel! It was one of my favorites during 2022, I have a few videos featuring it, but it was in my best moisturizers for tretinoin video here th-cam.com/video/2G8QCs3y1Y0/w-d-xo.html
I'm testingthe purito dermide barrier relief at the moment as a night cream for my oily skin. It is working quite well at the moment! Also the bioderma atoderm cream is great though not sure if it is sold outside of france
as an oily skin person I was thinking about the out too moisturizer! i’m gonna look more into it
Hi Kelly I am 50 and I have try all the super rich creams that you have recommended. And I wanted to know if you have try this one?LANBELLE Supernatural Hydrating Facial Cream . I love the texture and you will feel hydrated all day long.
I'm loving the Korean brand Goodal Vegan Rice Milk moisturising cream. Great barrier cream
That one is lovely, it was a part of my recommendations for creams a few months ago!
Hey Kelly! Love the video ! That said, wanted to ask:
Is the illiyoon concentrate cream OR the illiyoon ato lotion (lighter/less thicker than the cream) a better moisturizer for oily skin that may get dehydrated (due to skin barrier dehydration from retinol in the past)?
Asking because of the formula change it underwent - thanks !
La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+ M Triple Repair Moisturize vs nivea creme- how would you compare those 2? i've tried moisturizers and found that only nivea creme works for my eczema dry sensitive skin (hands and face) although it always makes my face white and the whiteness does not seem to clear up until hours later (idk maybe im applying too much?). wondering if the la roch posey one would be just as moisturizing/hydrating as the nivea one but without the white cast that takes hours to become transparent.
Hello and happy holidays Kelly,
How would you compare the Pyukang Yul Black Tea Enriched Cream is compared to Manyo Bifida Biome Concentrate Cream?
So, I know this isn't necessarily your jam, but I would be so curious to hear how you feel about the Tatcha indigo cream. TIA!
Thanks for the rec, I'll have to check it out!
please make an updated swimming routine video, im having so many issues in the winter and my ezcema skin PLEAESEE
Thank you so incredibly much! its coming into winter here and this is a wonderful roundup!
The Etude House Soon Jung 2x Barrier Intensive Cream has changed formula a few times quite recently- Did the one you tested in your review contain the green tea- if its not too hard, would you be able to check the ingredients on the package please🙈? I noticed in a few reviews that its lighter than the original now but wasn't sure if the people reviewing it are just annoyed at the reformulation. LOL. the consistency/ thickness looks lovely in the video- not too overwhelming,wonderful for layering with essences and serums :)
Thank you so incredibly much!
This is the newer version!
hi, Kelly! I bought PKY from your recommendation in May, but not this one, it was the blue tube ceramide cream !! was a bit heavy in summer but now IM IN LOVE ! thank you so much!!!!
it's a shame it's going to end soon
have you tried mary&may idebenone cream? I'm really eyeing this right now 😊
Hi Kelly! What are your thoughts on RNW - DER ceramide moisturiser ??
Better to incorporate its ceramide serum or cream in daily regime ?
If I remember correctly the last time I looked into the cream it contained essential oils which I prefer to avoid in my skincare products. So I can't tell you much about the cream but I wholeheartedly recommend the serum!
I wanted to love the SoonJung 2x Barrier but it left a film on my skin 😢 I had to return it.
Hi i would like to know the illiyoon ceramide ato concentrate cream is safe to use at pregnancy time?
eh that looks like the reformulated soon jung :/ i would say the pre-2023 version fits the bill but the new formula is a pass for me
Is there a nourishing ceramide cream out there for dry & dehydrated skin that doesn't have a ton of dimeticone? Sadly, my skin tends to be sensitive to it (itching and break outs) :/
Hey, Kelly! Just saw your video on Tret and it was spot on as well as this one! I was wondering if you could make a video on skincare when sick? Itd be great to see your take on that!
I was recently sick back in September. (I never get sick, so I was not prepared!) I mostly just used toner and oil in moisturizer. I didn't have energy for much else, La Roche Posay Cicaplast for my irritated nose helped too! I think it's important to reserve your energy and just do the basics that you can manage. When you're feeling better, you can get back to your established routine.
Hi Kelly, have you tried the I'm from mushroom collagen cream? I'd like to know your thots on it :)
I haven't tried the cream but the serum is nice!
Have you tried kopari moisture whipped ceramide cream? Omg it’s a dream.
Any suggestions for products without fatty alcohols, Niacinamide, ferments or Phenoxyethanol?
It's so hard to find good moisturisers for dry skin. For now I'm using the purito Oat in gel cream but it could better.
Try the cosrx oil free lotion it’s my favorite
You know you have dry skin when the Lipikar cream is too lightweight 😂 if I use it without a sleeping pack I wake up with skin like the Sahara
That laroche posay dried my skin out, and I used it continously and on wet skin. I can't recommend for dry skin in the winter
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your support! ❤
have you tried the drunk elephant la la retro whipped? i love it
Hey Kelly🤗Do you think that the Skinfix cream is similar to the I'm from rice cream?
If I'm recalling correctly, the Rice Cream is a tad light but still really good!
Hey Kelly.. what about Pyunkang Yul ato blue label? Is that suitable for winters? We dont get illiyoon ceramide cream here 😬
Yes it's lovely, have lots of reviews of it here on my channel!
Dear Kelly please please help me, I have been researching this for weeks... Can I layer Copper peptide serum (1%) with Matrixyl 3000 serum (8%) without the potential of them itneracting in some way and reducing their efficacy? ( I started worry about this after I read on Timeless skincare website that the don't recomment layering their MAtrixyl 3000 serum with their MAtrixyl Synthe 6 serum due to potential interaction between peptide signaling activities (headbang). I want to layer copper with MAtrixyl because they work in different ways. I don't want to alternate days because all research is done on ingredients used daily, so maybe they are not effective used every other day? Please please help, this drives me to agony:D
The peptides interacting badly with other ingredients is wildly overstated and a fairly recent phenomenon with little to no evidence. I'd say layer away; there is really no harm. You can even use products like The Ordinary Multiple Peptide with Copper 1%, which includes copper tripeptide and matrixyl 3000 in the same formula!
Try it cosmetics confidence in a jar.
Hi Kelly, have you tried and can compare the aestura atobarrier 365 cream to the other mentioned creams?
She has a video comparing the Aestura and Illiyoon.
Hey, Aestura would be lighter than the Illyoon in this video and thicker (but less oil rich) than the Skin Fix. I did include Aestura in my fall creams video this year and as @twinnnolaa19 mentioned I did a this or that between Aestura and Illyoon.
This or that th-cam.com/video/xSLYQws2c18/w-d-xo.html

Hi kelly. Im still waiting ur informative review on cosrx peptide booster essence. Its my humble request. ❤❤❤❤❤ From Pakistan
It's coming; thanks for your patience!
No La Roche Posay for me since they support Israel but I'm grateful to learn about these other brands.
Indeed. The Cicaplast baume B5 is (was) my holy grail and now I have to find another holy grail :( thank you Kelly for these reviews!
@@desmon6781try uriage
Good to know. I will buy more.
I tried their new formula, i think you aren't missing much
Maybe learn something about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict because god you’re ignorant.
Hlo mam plz one reply in how much time I can repair my skin barrier 🙏
It's different for everyone, so I can't give you a specific timeline. For some, it's about 2-3 weeks for others, it can take a few months. It's important to follow the healing protocol and not use any exfoliants, retinol or vitamin C; that will definitely help you speed up the healing!
Ok mam thanku for guiding me and i asked this question to you because many people said that you are the moisture barrier queen
👍👍👍
That Illiyoon cream did nothing for my dry skin. Felt oily and like it didn't penetrate to hydrate my skin enough. If you're looking for a cerave alternative, look elsewhere cuz Illiyoon is not it
love all your videos! i watch them as soon as they come out! one word of advice: the Roche in LRP is pronounced the same way you pronounced cockroach; sorry for the gross comparison!
No, she pronounced it correctly.
I’m so annoyed that they’ve taken Shea Butter out of this and replaced it with vegetable oil 😒
🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Some of these just feels like water on my skin. Im still parched and dry🥲
Did you find anything that worked?
