Klairs Midnight Blue cream is one of my favourites. I have used up 2 jars of it and bough a bigger tube now. For my oily skin it's moisturizing enough. Sometimes my rosacea flares up out of nowhere and my faces becomes red, itchy and hot. This is when this works best. Within 30 mins my face comes back to normal which is just amazing. If you don't have much redness or irritation you will probably not see startling results.
I agree on the Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream - it's good for irritated skin, but it's not great for moisture, and it is overhyped, and a little expensive.
hi, i also have fungal acne and you can go to skincarisma.com and type of any brand or product ex: moisturzier, UV, toner then filter out the "fungal acne safe" box and it'll filter for u ^^ but my faves are Soonjung toner, cosrx bha blackhead liquid, iunik propolis serum, iunik moisturizer, biore uv perfect milk and hada labo uv gel
If you have true FUNGAL ACNE and not just acne you need to see a Dr or dermatologist to get an anti fungal cream no everyday skincare will clear up the fungal acne the clue is in the name fungal you need a proper anti fungal cream there's a trend going around where everyone is calling Normal acne fungal acne and it's a totally different thing so just find out whether you have true FUNGAL ACNE or just acne 👍
I love the mizon eye cream! I can definitely see rapid a difference between this eye cream versus other k-beauty ones (and wester ones included). I also love their eye patches, those I do feel have a brightening effect on my undereye area even if momentary. I purchased the Cosrx cleanser and I do like it since my skin is somewhere between combination and oily. Great Video Kelly!
Yass, I'm still impressed with the mizon eye cream, I really am surprised it's so affordable and so good still! The cosrx cleanser is really so good, I hope to find something that fits my current skin type that is just as good and also affordable!
Agree completely about the Midnight Blue Calming cream....I think there are equivalent products out there at a lower price point. I’m currently using the Skin&Lab Medicica Calming Cream and it works the same at half the price of the Midnight Blue. FYI in case people are looking for an alternative
Hahaha, Piper is such a sweetie, she always wants to be near me when I'm filming! 💕Yeah the Klairs MBCC impressed me when I first started to use it because it does work but having tried more cica cream products since then it just falls middle of the pack for me.
My skincare staple has to be the Hada Labo cleansing oil & the Cerave hydrating facial cleanser. I’m on my 4th bottle now on the cleansing oil, 2nd bottle of the family size Cerave cleanser.
@Phoenix Those are the same products I use for cleansing lol. Have you tried a lot of other cleansing oils? I like the Hada Labo cleansing oil. I like that the ingredients list is clean but I want to see if there's better out there. Is HL the best cleansing oil you've tried?
Have you tried Krave Beauty Matcha Hemp Hydrating Cleanser? It's really amazing and a good price as well. Highly recommend! I use it along with a salicylic acid cleanser when my skin is feeling congested, or a first step oil cleanse when I need to take off spf from the day. It keeps my skin really happy and doesn't strip the skin but is highly effective and pH balanced. All of their products are amazing too.
I love the MHHC, I'm currently using that and just purchased 2 bottles for back up! 😅I'm hoping to find a decent and internationally accessible one as well since many viewers can't get Krave products yet!
That's awesome! It really is good stuff. Everything I've tried from them has been top notch. I just got 2 bottles of the Beet Shield since I'm almost out of my current bottle. Gotta have a backup bottle so I can take it with me everywhere 😻
One of my favourite brands in K-beauty is still Hanyul, especially its Artemisia Facial Cleansing foam and the Rice Essential Skin Softener which are very minimal in ingredients but works on sensitive skin. The Pine First Essence from Hanyul is good too.
I currently use the klairs midnight blue calming cream because I do have sensitive skin and it comes my skin down, but I totally agree it is nowhere near moisturizing enough I always have to layer a moisturizer and I kind of hate the texture. what things would you recommend as an alternative that still have the same calming effect for sensitive or dry skin, but after more hydration and better feeling on the skin?
i recommend cosrx oil free birch sap moisturizer plus the soonjung 2x barrier cream but only use the 2nd on my most dry parts. i use this combination and have severely reaction, sensitive and combo skin that is mostly dehydrated and dry. the two work well for acne too!! i personally reacted to the klairs midnight blue and absolutely hated it... and this combo has been amazing and soothing. especially adding the second during winter is
Yess I can agree with you, the more we explore the k skin realm the more analytical and less hyped do we become. My fav fav fav of all times though will always be the cosrx snail mucin. I finished the blue drops by klairs, they went pretty quickly and sure enjoyed them, but dont know what they did for me. Havent digged that much in the blue tub but have the 30ml one so im sure ill be done with it before i can see results, lol. Theres a product though that will always be a fav too, i have tried maaaany toners and the pyunkangyul essence toner stands out for me. Great video, thkxs. Xoxo mili
The cosrx snail mucin essence always makes me very shiny and I feel like it doesn’t provide much hydration to my skin, shows how much different skin types can be I really really love the mizon snail all in one repair cream
Thank you so much for all the wealth of information. I love your product recommendations. Could you talk about skincare routine now that we are getting into fall and winter soon. How do we gently transition to better products to avoid compromising moisture barrier during the colder months?
I usually start transitioning a little later in the season, which is totally dependent on the weather, but it's good to start thinking about the products you'll want on hand for the cooler weather. I think working on transitioning your "middle layers" toners, essences, serums, first helps because those are less weather dependent than your moisturizers and sleeping packs.
Thanks for the video. Interesting to see why you’ve lost touch with some “old friends.” I actually just restocked the Klairs Calming Cream when I found the tube on sale for around $20 because I found it very helpful last winter mixed into my moisturizer. I spend a lot of time outdoors and my skin can get a little roughed up. But you’re right that just about any cica product can do the same thing. As a matter of fact, last week the dogs and I tried to take a short cut in the woods that didn’t work out at all, and the Soon Jung cica balm really helped calm my legs down from all the tiny scratches from the pricker bushes!
$20 dollars for the tube is an excellent and fair price, I'd snatch that up too! It's a great product that works so marketing and hype aside, it's still a worthy buy. That soon jung line is really impressing me, I might need to check out the balm!
I really love the Heimish All Clean Green Cleanser. It's much less drying. Cosrx cleanser was too much for me after 30. I do like the Cosrx low pH cleanser as a body wash after a workout.
I would say one of those products for me was the Cosrx 96 snail mucin, and I did stop using it for a while but I’m using it again. Also I have the Purito cleanser and I did get that squeaky clean feeling so I have a whole bottle brand new and I’m not using it. I have been loving the Etude House Soon Jung cleanser. It’s so gentle and mild and doesn’t make my skin feel tight. Could you do so more videos where you recommend k-beauty products that are essential free from cleansers, serums, creams, and cleansers? I’m always looking to try new EO free Kbeauty.
I feel you on cleansers! I'm kind of on a search because I love Krave Matcha Hemp Cleanser but I'd love to find a strictly K-beauty one. I'll be trying the Soon Jung whip cleanser soon, I'm a little on the fence about the pH but your experience makes me feel better about it! I'll definitely being sharing more essential oil free products as I find them, I've collected some already in an essential oil free playlist: bit.ly/2lAfK1j
Kelly Driscoll yes I do LOVE THE Krave Hemp Matcha cleanser but sometimes when my skin is very very sensitized it can even be a little bit harsh on me. I have been cursed with such sensitive skin that even sometimes just a niacinamide serum can kinds sting a little but it’s my skin and I know that. I do use retin-a in the evening so that has a lot to do with it 🤔😊
Kelly Driscoll yes but I still love the Matcha Hemp cleanser I just gage how my skin is feeling but because of the retin-a I have to use more milky cleansers 😊
I use the Puritto BB cleanser. I reccomend not to uses the full pump when cleansing. I use a small pump or a bit more depending on my skin-- makeup, dirt, oil.
everyoneeee loved the midnight blue klairs cream and it broke me out and gave me rashes instantly LOL... i had no relief sadly like everyone mentions :(... and the cosrx snail mucin? honestly this is the ONLY product i will never get rid of in my routine. it is a staple and i will never get rid of it. genuinely changed my skin and i cant believe how quickly it faded my acne and scars, rebalanced moisture, and gave me a glow and plumpness.
Have you ever tried the matcha cleanser from Krave Beauty? James Welsh recommends and I thought about trying it if the cosrx is too stripping for me, I just ordered the cosrx.
Yes yes yes! I 100% support James on this, it's fabulous! I actually just ordered 2 bottles! 😂It is an effective cleanser but I've never felt it dried me out or took 1 ounce of moisture from my skin!
I'm with u on the hunt for mild k beauty cleanser for dry skin, I have the hadalabo oil cleanser and hyalaronic foam cleanser and they r ok but the oil cleanser by itself is quite strong. I want to try the sioris cleansing milk but it does have essential oils in it, would they be bad in a wash off product? I am waiting for your k beauty cleanser recommendations xxx
I'm still searching too! And fragrance and essential oil free cleansers are not easy to locate!! Hada labo oil which you know is an affordable option and I just discovered the soon jung whip cleanser is also EO free. I will share my picks as I discover them!
You have a made a video abt how you healed your skin barrier and I am curious to knw if you ever had sun damaged skin not major hyperpigmentation or melasma just skin textural issues induced by sun which currently I suffer from it has been affecting me emotionally and I am kind of insecure and long for the skin I used to have recently used 10% niacinamide daily for 1 month but it led to too many whiteheads...maybe I went overboard any advice???
Hmmm, I've never had this issue so it's really hard to say. Niacinamide is a good choice I think since it can stimulate your skin's collagen and protein production which should aid healing textural or bumpy skin. Niacinamide 4% and higher is all that's needed so maybe try a 5% serum like purito could help slow the whiteheads. It also might be time to consider investing in visiting a dermatologist who can give you professional and personalized care, especially if it's effecting your quality of life.
The cosrx snail mucn really big time helped my fungal acne infested skin to calm down. When i went on skin care diet, cleanser and snail mucin were the only one I was using.
I have oily acne prone skin. Recently I purchased a couple of the light toners for summer you recommended and a couple other products including the liquid gold stuff. I still get that feeling of something being on my face. I can tolerate it after exfoliation but everything seems to sit at the surface. It's frustrating.
I almost bought the midnight blue cream bcoz of ur review. But cant seem to pull the trigger bcoz of the price. I am considering jumiso have a good cream instead
It's really expensive for the amount! If you can get a good sale price, then it's worth it because it does work at the end of the day! I haven't tried any jumisio products but I generally hear good things. I personally like the Iope derma repair cream because it works faster than klairs, doubles as a moisturizer and is nearly 2x the size of the klairs jar for about $20 (or lower with sale).
thank u for ur video i love ur chanel ! what do u think is a gd K beauty dupe for Klairs blue cream ? the feeling and experience r just soo gr8 yet its not really cheap hehe .. whaat do u recommend ? btw i have tried the miracle cream some by mi , its soo good as well with 70% centella . but the texture is a bit tacky .
Hi can I use the oridinary niacinamide 10% and zinc 1 % on my skin as I am having bad skin barrier issue which i figured recently also this is the first time i am going to introduce this into my skin care. But I already used vitamin c 20 % and salicylic acid and all before that. Pls reply me pls pls
Hey Kelly! I really like you channel and your honest review on hyped beauty products. you talk a lot about anti/well aging and it made me curious; how old are you? I'm 28 and am starting to turn to more high end K/J beauty products in hopes that it'll show more promising results in that department
I'm 30! I mostly focus on ingredients for my well-aging. Things like niacinamide, vitamin C and retinol can all help maintain skin's elasticity and firmness and adding in peptides and a healthy dose of moisture will do wonders.
My old school product is definitely the Cosrx Good Morning Low pH Cleanser, and is still in daily use since it's perfect for my oily acne prone skin... the Purito one was not for me, but it's a good option if you have dryer skin. Your doggo is so cute💕 ... just doesn't seem have a great interest in K-beauty I reckon. xDD
Hola! Thank you for sharing all thi info. I have used some of the products mentioned and hve the same feeling. I feel the same bout the amount of ingredients i what I use-- the less the better-- and I go for green/cruelty free. I have delt with acne most of my life; mostly hormonal acne now. I begi. With Pyung Yan Kuhl, lijed it but more for sensitive skin or beginners (my opinion) very light nd essence free. The more i hve lerned the more i look into fermented, plant based products, less chemicals or chemicls which Are good/useful for your skin. Insteadof a regar moisturizer I staryed using the Natural Republic Aloe-- which has multi uses and inexpensive!!
I definitely do appreciate the more minimal products as well. Some products have such long IL it just seems unnecessary to put 67 ingredients into one product! 😱
Kelly Driscoll hi again :) I’ve been trying to find an exfoliator for a while now... and which do you think i should get? - neogen lemon/wine gauze pads - cosrx bha blackhead power liquid - a peeling gel I’ve never used a chemical exfoliator before,,, unless you count the cosrx aha/bha clarifying treatment toner :( I also want to find a night moisturizer,,, heheh I have oily skin as well
i've used the hada labo cleanser for the longest time but i want to try out the krave cleanser everyone is raving about, i'll definitely get one when they ship to Europe
No extracts, oils and waters are all different! The process to extract them from their source results in different concentrations and different compounds being released.
@@KellyDriscoll oh i see so this means they act different. Thanks btw have you heard the Ingredient bacillus ferment im wondering that it is... It has in some of benton products is it good?
Kelly do you still recommend the Face Shop Rice Cleansing oil? It's on my list to try, but I noticed it contains a lot of perfumes. I'm having trouble finding a new cleansing oil without icky ingredients. What are your thoughts on perfumes or essential oils in a wash off products? Thanks for another great video!
Hey! I do still really like it and it's never caused me issues but I know fragrance isn't great for all! I've been looking for fully fragrance free oil cleansers and it's hard but I think I've found one in the hada labo oil cleanser, it will be delivered soon so hopefully it performs well!
@Kelly Driscoll I'm using the Hada Labo right now lol. I do like it but just wanted to try something new. I'm curious how the Hada Labo compares to the Face Shop. I'll look forward to your review. Thanks Kelly!
Your original skincare routine sounded fine. It was simple. It is more elaborate now with k-beauty. What skin improvements do/did you notice when you switched up?
Haha sure it was very simple then but my skin has become miles better over the years! My skin is much more healthy, even toned, breaks out less and less, I no longer have clogged pored or redness and I can go foundation free or very minimal makeup these days.
Sweet child, piper needs to her ig page and maybe even vlogs. 🤩🤩🤩 also, the low ph cleanser was something I repurchase a ton too hahah 🤣 it was such a big deal to me too
Would you be so nice and ad in your video alternatives to the products that you don't like? You metion that there are better products but my and others knowledge of products is not ad estend as yours and it would be easyer to know a products to comprere them to and maybe look intro the ingrediets and see whats the difference
I absolutely hate the CosRx Snail Essence with a burning passion. I don't get the hype!! 🤢 It feels disgusting on the skin. I know it's snail but other snail products do NOT feel that way. Disgusting slime consistency.
Hola🌻
COSRX snail mucin and MIZON all in one repair cream are my Must haves.
Klairs Midnight Blue cream is one of my favourites. I have used up 2 jars of it and bough a bigger tube now. For my oily skin it's moisturizing enough. Sometimes my rosacea flares up out of nowhere and my faces becomes red, itchy and hot. This is when this works best. Within 30 mins my face comes back to normal which is just amazing. If you don't have much redness or irritation you will probably not see startling results.
It actually works nicely for irritation but I've just discovered other products that work better and faster for my particular skin!
Thank you for the reply? Would you please share the products that work better? I am curious to try.
I like iope derma repair cica cream! works faster and is a little less expensive for more product!
I agree on the Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream - it's good for irritated skin, but it's not great for moisture, and it is overhyped, and a little expensive.
Cosrx snail was the first product I felt like lived up to the hype!
Review fungal acne safe products pls~
I have sensitive skin and I'm petty broke so I can't trya lot:)
I definitely need to do more reading up on fungal acne safe ingredients!😅
hi, i also have fungal acne and you can go to skincarisma.com and type of any brand or product ex: moisturzier, UV, toner then filter out the "fungal acne safe" box and it'll filter for u ^^ but my faves are Soonjung toner, cosrx bha blackhead liquid, iunik propolis serum, iunik moisturizer, biore uv perfect milk and hada labo uv gel
Yes please.
@@sknight2810 that's an awesome resource, thank you for sharing!
If you have true FUNGAL ACNE and not just acne you need to see a Dr or dermatologist to get an anti fungal cream no everyday skincare will clear up the fungal acne the clue is in the name fungal you need a proper anti fungal cream there's a trend going around where everyone is calling Normal acne fungal acne and it's a totally different thing so just find out whether you have true FUNGAL ACNE or just acne 👍
I love the mizon eye cream! I can definitely see rapid a difference between this eye cream versus other k-beauty ones (and wester ones included). I also love their eye patches, those I do feel have a brightening effect on my undereye area even if momentary. I purchased the Cosrx cleanser and I do like it since my skin is somewhere between combination and oily. Great Video Kelly!
Yass, I'm still impressed with the mizon eye cream, I really am surprised it's so affordable and so good still! The cosrx cleanser is really so good, I hope to find something that fits my current skin type that is just as good and also affordable!
your contents contain variety. your channel is like a one stop shop for skincare.
So glad you find it helpful!! 💕
i absolutely love you kelly. i just wish you wouldve given an alternative for my blue cream. ive spent so much money lately i have raw areas from tret
Could you please share your current favorite snail product? Thank you~
I haven't really been using snail products currently but long time faves are benton snail bee essence and their ultimate serum or this cosrx one!
LOL my first K beauty skincare product was the cosrx snail essence I still have it in my collection and bought it a few times it last forever..
Agree completely about the Midnight Blue Calming cream....I think there are equivalent products out there at a lower price point. I’m currently using the Skin&Lab Medicica Calming Cream and it works the same at half the price of the Midnight Blue. FYI in case people are looking for an alternative
I haven't tried the skin and lab but it sounds like a worthy contender!!
MORE DOG!! 😂 seriously though, good idea for a video. I totally agree about Klairs midnight blue- sure its pretty... but, meh?
Hahaha, Piper is such a sweetie, she always wants to be near me when I'm filming! 💕Yeah the Klairs MBCC impressed me when I first started to use it because it does work but having tried more cica cream products since then it just falls middle of the pack for me.
100% agree on the more dog!
What’s your favorite Cica moisturizer? I also find the Klairs one to be too light of a cream
Iope Derma Repair Cica Cream is so fantastic!
@@KellyDriscoll have you tried the purito one
My skincare staple has to be the Hada Labo cleansing oil & the Cerave hydrating facial cleanser. I’m on my 4th bottle now on the cleansing oil, 2nd bottle of the family size Cerave cleanser.

Hanyul is a brand I'd like to explore next, especially the artemisia products!
I tried Hanyul as a sample from an order of my Kbeauty routine..it felt so nice and left my skin feeling amazingly soothed.
I actually find that Zink cream (the ones you use for nappy rashes lol) works better for red spots than the blue midnight cream! 😄
Oh wow, that's a really affordable hack!! 👍
Yeah Sudocrem overnight on spots is amazing!!!
Please do a Part 2 to this video and tell us all the products you would now recommend in place of the items in this video.

@@KellyDriscoll oh yes, it is very too much. It does make a great body wash for body acne.
I've also used the Klair's Midnight Blue Calming Cream, but I've swapped it out because I wanted to stay away from triethanolamine.
It's definitely a good product but maybe not the greatest one! Have you found your triethanolamine free swap?
I love your polite honesty.

plz suggst a nice retinol product from k beauty for beginners.. thank u
Maybe check out the Missha Time Revolution Borrait Ampoule!
@@KellyDriscoll it has Retinol?
Yes it does, it's a low amount so good product to start with.
@@KellyDriscoll thanks Kelly, will review again the list of ingredients. 😉
thank u 😊
I almost bought the midnight blue cream bcoz of ur review. But cant seem to pull the trigger bcoz of the price. I am considering jumiso have a good cream instead
It's really expensive for the amount! If you can get a good sale price, then it's worth it because it does work at the end of the day! I haven't tried any jumisio products but I generally hear good things. I personally like the Iope derma repair cream because it works faster than klairs, doubles as a moisturizer and is nearly 2x the size of the klairs jar for about $20 (or lower with sale).
Is the derma repair also instantly cooling and soothing?
It definitely has given my skin instant relief from irritation when I put it on! I wouldn't say cooling but definitely instant relief!
Your doggie is SOOOOOO CUTE!!!! 🐾 💕 what do you like better than the snail 96 now please?
cosrx low ph good morning gel cleanser makes my T zon and cheeks more oilier
thank u for ur video i love ur chanel ! what do u think is a gd K beauty dupe for Klairs blue cream ? the feeling and experience r just soo gr8 yet its not really cheap hehe .. whaat do u recommend ?
btw i have tried the miracle cream some by mi , its soo good as well with 70% centella . but the texture is a bit tacky .
I really like your no-nonsense approach
Hi can I use the oridinary niacinamide 10% and zinc 1 % on my skin as I am having bad skin barrier issue which i figured recently also this is the first time i am going to introduce this into my skin care. But I already used vitamin c 20 % and salicylic acid and all before that. Pls reply me pls pls
Try it and see how your skin responds, some people find 10% irritating and some don't!
Hey Kelly! I really like you channel and your honest review on hyped beauty products. you talk a lot about anti/well aging and it made me curious; how old are you? I'm 28 and am starting to turn to more high end K/J beauty products in hopes that it'll show more promising results in that department
I'm 30! I mostly focus on ingredients for my well-aging. Things like niacinamide, vitamin C and retinol can all help maintain skin's elasticity and firmness and adding in peptides and a healthy dose of moisture will do wonders.
@@KellyDriscoll the A, B, Cs of skincare :)
My old school product is definitely the Cosrx Good Morning Low pH Cleanser, and is still in daily use since it's perfect for my oily acne prone skin... the Purito one was not for me, but it's a good option if you have dryer skin. Your doggo is so cute💕 ... just doesn't seem have a great interest in K-beauty I reckon. xDD
Haha she only has interest in toys and snuggles! 😍
Awwww Piper is the sweetest.
She really is a sweet soul! 💕😍
i 'm n a confusion on buying khlairs sleeping mask & cosrx sleeping mask....can you tell me which is better?
Hola!
Thank you for sharing all thi info.
I have used some of the products mentioned and hve the same feeling. I feel the same bout the amount of ingredients i what I use-- the less the better-- and I go for green/cruelty free. I have delt with acne most of my life; mostly hormonal acne now.
I begi. With Pyung Yan Kuhl, lijed it but more for sensitive skin or beginners (my opinion) very light nd essence free. The more i hve lerned the more i look into fermented, plant based products, less chemicals or chemicls which Are good/useful for your skin. Insteadof a regar moisturizer I staryed using the Natural Republic Aloe-- which has multi uses and inexpensive!!
I definitely do appreciate the more minimal products as well. Some products have such long IL it just seems unnecessary to put 67 ingredients into one product! 😱
Hii! Have you tried peeling gels? Like gel face washes, but it clumps up and removes dead skin when u rub it... Cure aqua gel?
Yes, I haven't used the Cure version but Secret Key Lemon Gel and a few others. They're nice but don't make a huge difference!
Kelly Driscoll hi again :) I’ve been trying to find an exfoliator for a while now... and which do you think i should get?
- neogen lemon/wine gauze pads
- cosrx bha blackhead power liquid
- a peeling gel
I’ve never used a chemical exfoliator before,,, unless you count the cosrx aha/bha clarifying treatment toner :( I also want to find a night moisturizer,,, heheh I have oily skin as well
I really enjoyed this and it’s a really good idea!
I'm glad you enjoyed it, it's kind of fun to revisit old products!
i've used the hada labo cleanser for the longest time but i want to try out the krave cleanser everyone is raving about, i'll definitely get one when they ship to Europe
Ah the famous hada labo cleanser, I need to try that one!
what is ur fav cica cream?
Is an extract same with the essential oil Kelly?? For instance I found a product with lavender extract is it same or acts like lavender essentiol oil?
No extracts, oils and waters are all different! The process to extract them from their source results in different concentrations and different compounds being released.
@@KellyDriscoll oh i see so this means they act different. Thanks btw have you heard the Ingredient bacillus ferment im wondering that it is... It has in some of benton products is it good?
What is better than klairs midnight cream out there... suggestion
I personally like iope derma repair cica cream and skin and lab medicica cream has been mention by multiple viewers.
Kelly do you still recommend the Face Shop Rice Cleansing oil? It's on my list to try, but I noticed it contains a lot of perfumes. I'm having trouble finding a new cleansing oil without icky ingredients. What are your thoughts on perfumes or essential oils in a wash off products? Thanks for another great video!
Hey! I do still really like it and it's never caused me issues but I know fragrance isn't great for all! I've been looking for fully fragrance free oil cleansers and it's hard but I think I've found one in the hada labo oil cleanser, it will be delivered soon so hopefully it performs well!
@Kelly Driscoll I'm using the Hada Labo right now lol. I do like it but just wanted to try something new. I'm curious how the Hada Labo compares to the Face Shop. I'll look forward to your review. Thanks Kelly!
@@frontline327 Hi you could try the cleansing oil/balm from Clinique!
@HereDianna Clinique take the day off? I've heard it's good. I'll put it on my list to try. Thnx ;)
@@frontline327 Yes it is take the day off. I have also used the Hado Labo cleansing oil. To be honest I think they work both as great.
Which products are better than the klairs cream?
I prefer the Iope derma cica cream!
What you said about the blue cream 🙌 exactly what I'm thinking
Plzzzz.. try krave beauty products
Your original skincare routine sounded fine. It was simple. It is more elaborate now with k-beauty. What skin improvements do/did you notice when you switched up?
Haha sure it was very simple then but my skin has become miles better over the years! My skin is much more healthy, even toned, breaks out less and less, I no longer have clogged pored or redness and I can go foundation free or very minimal makeup these days.
I’ll buy whatever Piper tells me to!!
Haha omg, she gets away with so much because of that baby face! 😍
Thank you ^^
You're so welcome, happy you liked it! 💗
thanks a lot
You're so welcome, glad you enjoyed it! 💕
Your skin type?
Sweet child, piper needs to her ig page and maybe even vlogs. 🤩🤩🤩 also, the low ph cleanser was something I repurchase a ton too hahah 🤣 it was such a big deal to me too
It was a good cleanser but now on to better! You need to try the Krave cleanser! 👍OMG
Piper would be a vlog star!
Do you respond to dm on instagram or emails??
Instagram DMs or comments are the best way to get in touch!
They dont work for me. They're so basic and sometimes gave me whiteheads.
Would you be so nice and ad in your video alternatives to the products that you don't like? You metion that there are better products but my and others knowledge of products is not ad estend as yours and it would be easyer to know a products to comprere them to and maybe look intro the ingrediets and see whats the difference
👍👍🙌🙌
Glad you enjoyed it! 💕
I absolutely hate the CosRx Snail Essence with a burning passion. I don't get the hype!! 🤢 It feels disgusting on the skin. I know it's snail but other snail products do NOT feel that way. Disgusting slime consistency.
