I was so excited about the purple sunscreen and I understand the confusion about Tinasorb S instead of Tinasorb M. I saw an ingredient list somewhere that had Tinasorb M rather than Tinasorb S in the new Isntree Onion Newpair line. Easy mistake if typing out the ingredient lists.
@@moniquelindholm1381tinosorb m was made to mimic mineral sunscreen filters. So it can leave a white cast. Also, sometimes products with tinosorb m can take a bit longer to apply. I think it would be most important to look out for if you have a deeper skin tone as it could leave the white cast like I mentioned. I hope this helped!
I've subscrbed to this channel for sometime but only recently I've been paying attention to it, I've been binge watching it actually. You give so many good advice, you are a nice person, you are knowlegdable. I'm really digging your videos and I have already ordered and used stuff you reviewed and that I thought would be good to me and they really are. Thank you so much Alice, from a 43 year old across the pond in Portugal!
I love the Haru Haru Wonder sunscreen! I've just been using it as my morning moisturizer/sunscreen because I also don't like that tacky, heavy feeling of layering thick products in the a.m.
That one is so good! I think you’d like the first two here (although it’s still tough to say they’re better than p.calms. Tough to beat practically perfection)
😂I am at work and watching youtube !! Haru Haru has become my summer sunscreen and the 1004 my winter choice. Amazon spring sales had many k-beauty products at almost half price - much less than stylevanna or yesstyle !!
I love the Haru Haru when I’m skipping moisturizer. I have the Isntree on my wish list. I’m at the point where I now have nearly a dozen seasonal and situational HGs!
I have tried many of those sunscreens, but none of them have become favorites. As a resident of Florida, I wear sunscreen each and every day. My favorites are ... for a glowy finish--Cosrx Vitamin E Vitalizing sunscreen SPF50+. For a more matt finish I love Missha Soft Finish Sun Milk 50+ PA+++. I also use Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen when I want to feel bougie. I prefer the Korean sunscreens because of the lower prices and the higher levels of SPF.
Knew I could come straight to your page and have a Mary&May sun stick review just this last week. I am going to get some and had to hear it from the Queen first if it was good or not. You’re always a savior 🙏
I'm really interested in the new Isntree sunscreen! I wore a Western suncream for the first time in forever on my body and I could not stand the 'sunscreen' smell that was just emanating off of me! I'm so used to my suncreams not smelling like anything and sinking in. The VT sunpact is not really for me because of the blue tint. The Round Lab sun cushion I think is better since it's not tinted and is more of a liquid so I can just pat it in and not worry about makeup smearing. It's great for beach weddings!
It’s SO hard to use western sunscreens after trying K-Beauty! I feel bad for western brands as they try so hard to make nice options (and probably pour in more money than I can imagine), but our restrictions are holding them back 😞
I found my HG sunscreen that is available here in the US but I like to try out the hyped AB sunscreens to compare. So far, I'm still sticking to mine because I get more product!
I just picked up the Haru Haru wonder during a drunken Stylevana order that I placed after watching one of your Friday night videos while I was drinking wine. Coincidentally it arrived this evening, so I haven’t tried the sunscreen yet. The thing is that I remember looking at Stylevana during your video and pondering the fact that I had a 22% off coupon in my email but I really have no recollection of purchasing it. 😅😅. It was like Christmas this evening. 😂
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I do recall, pondering buying another bottle of SK II with a 22% off coupon…. Considering I have a back up 250 mL bottle right now. I’m really glad that I did not give into that impulse.
Idea for a video... I'd love to know which products are the most matte. Even though I'm gay, I don't want glowy, dewy, glass skin. I feel like matte products are harder to find these days. For all the guys out there, could you tell us which toners, serums, moisturizers, sunscreens etc. are the most matte? For reference, one of my fave sunscreens is elf invisible sunscreen - blurring primer, because it's so matte.
Agree, the dewy / glowy look is everywhere and I wish we had more matte options! Even though I am dry skinned, I prefer a matte look, and by the time all skin care and sunscreen is on, I absolutely have to powder even on days I wanted not to wear any make up. Not sure whether a rich moisturizer is up your alley, but I find the Byoma rich moisturizer surprisingly non-glowy for such a rich product (not matte per se, but really non-offensive in terms of finish).
@@ekaterinak9906 I just googled it. The ingredients seem great and vegan/cruelty free. I'll try it for sure, thank you! I turned 40, so a rich moisturizer is exactly what I need (except most I try make me look shiny and feel self-conscious). I'm getting a Stylevana order in a few days with 4 different sunscreens just to see which one is the least shiny :) The rest will go to friends...
The Byoma is a great rec! Its actually surprising to me, but I’ve noticed some of the most rich creams look more matte than lightweight gels And I’m the same, I don’t like looking overly dewy (in spite of dry skin lol). My rec for you would be J-Beauty sunscreens, which are a LOT more matte than K-Beauty as a whole. I did a waterproof video a while back, and minus the biore, I was shocked by how matte some of those are!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole Is my reply to ekaterinak showing? I'm sure I replied... If not, thanks for the rec, I'll try it! It's what I need being 40, heavy stuff that's not shiny :) My first Stylevana order is coming tomorrow (only 6 days after making the order!) and I'm just on my way to Korea Town to check out the K-Beauty store. I'll ask them if they have J-Beauty sunscreens, thank you!
I love the texture and the finish of the Isntree SPF. I habe very oily skin and on paper it has everything I want. I had really high hopes for the SPF since I love the Ampoule and the Toner Pads from that line so much. The down side for me is the smell. I don't know if maybe I got a bad one but mine smells weird and the smell stays on my skin even after time passes and I put on makeup. I am so sad but I cant get over the smell. I suspect it is the ingredients since it doesn't smell like parfum. I am currently trying the House of Hur sun fluid and I have to say that I like it. Very similar texture to the Isntree one without a smell and a little bit more of a velvet finish. Big recommendation for my fellow oily skin people or for the hotter months
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that there is at least one ingredient in each of these that my skin can’t handle. But it’s still disappointing. Thank you for saving me a lot of research.
I believe it! We are at a complete loss 🤣 I did end up talking to quite a few Canadian tourists who were shocked by how cold Nola gets. Our 40 degrees was not what they anticipated (as the extreme humidity makes it feel colder!)
@@AliceintheRabbitHole here where I am, in January it got to -54 Celsius, that's -65 Fahrenheit 😬😬😬 but as much as it's crazy, cold is super relative because I'm also from Jamaica and people feel cold there too in the winter, even if it's not the same cold as here. So it's still valid, lol just amusing 🤣 not making fun of you guys at all ❣️
Good Morning, Alice! 😃 I really need to venture out a try some different sunscreens, I rotate between Mary & May, Pyunkang Yul, and Beauty of Joseon - haven't tried many different K Beauty lines. I did have the SomebyMII sunscreen on my list and I have not tried any products from Isntree yet (I know, shocking!). Oh, yes - I have used Tocobo before and I wasn't wowed by it, so I never repurchased. Have a lovely day! 🌸💮🌸
The next on my list to try is now the Isntree onion line SPF as well at the Haruharu Wonder. I do love the newer formula of sunscreens as well. Currently using the Anua Heartleaf sun cream and just finished off the Dr. G one you spoke so highly about. Love them both!
Hello Alice love your SPF VANA box which is almost like opening a box of chocolate 🍫 This is just a recommendation choice please feel free to say no Recently ( James Welch ) just released his round lab beauty box and his crazy deal at 29.00 on stylekorean was wondering that you could review his ultimate hydration box 📦?
Oh gosh that’s not water resistant? I would have to say that trait seems to make for more matte sunscreens! Otherwise I don’t have a good answer as I just reach for some powder to “fix” the problem 😅
I grew up in NY (Long Island) and moved to Maine. If you're not driving 10mph over the speed limit, in a blizzard, your getting tailgated. 😂 Love the HaruHaru sunscreen, with my dry skin as well, over the illiyoon and it works under makeup for me. Going to try their mineral sunscreen. I never got into sunsticks. Those seem to work well. However, I have the Mary & May Vegan niacinamide panthenol sun cushion. Would love to know your thoughts on this one! Many blessings!💖💖💖
Oh noooo really!? That seems like it would require advanced driving skills (that I do not possess lol) Yeah I’m curious about the Haruharu mineral as well. Probably will try it at some point!
Hi Alice, the truth is that I love the textures of Korean sunscreens, I don't care about the finish, but unfortunately I can't use them, because my skin is not liking any sunscreen 😭. I haven't been able to use any, but I'm still searching and the one I think has the least risk is SKIN 1004, which has only zinc, I'm going to order it and I'm going to pray that I don't have an allergic reaction. A hug Alice and I hope you are very well 🥰
Oh the physical one! Yeah that might be a good option. Can your skin handle butyloctyl salicylate? That might widen your realm of possibilities within mineral sunscreens. Or titanium dioxide!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I think I can't tolerate butyloctyl salicylate, because SKIN 1004 has two physicals, one with butyloctyl salicylate and another with only zinc, or so it appears on the page. The funny thing about all this is that I am always talking about the importance of using sunscreen and every morning I would bathe in sunscreen and everyone would laugh at me, tell me I was exaggerating and all these jokes. A big hug Alice and it's good that spring has arrived there. A hug to Ara too 😘
I need to try that onion fluid sunscreen 😍😍 Have you tried the House of Hur weightless sun fluid? It's soo soo lightweight and takes zero effort to rub in, i love it ❤❤
Thank u for ur videos! Quick question: Do you know if the Ordinary Natural M.F + Betaglucan can be used as mucrocurrent gel? What about the Ordinary Moisturizing Factors + HA?
I would say: probably, as long as they don’t have oils, which I believe they do not. Many of the ingredients we use, such as sodium hyaluronate, could be considered conductive THAT said, most of the microcurrent companies will tell you no, you need their specific gel. Thus it remains a debated topic! My in-between suggestion is medicube’s conductive gel, which is the best I’ve found in terms of price per oz (absolutely nobody needs to pay Foreo’s $60/oz, fwoooof lol)
Hi Alice. I'm not sure why but some sunscreen seems to dry out my skin now. The round lab birch one is just about good. Is there anything more moisturizing than this?
@@AliceintheRabbitHole yeah I thought that was the case. Oh well. I am in my 50s and this crap is part of the course! At least when you get to my age things will be even better!
Hi Alice, do you have a video on sunscreens containing Tinosorb S? I recently tried the viral Skin1004 Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sunscreen, only to realize it gave me a bit of white cast, which I think is due to Tinosorb M. I would love a best of Tinosorb S sunscreen video from you!
Hi Alice, I am feeling a little interested in the VT powder pact since I am leaning towards fair skin. The blue base is also a nice color... 😅 Have not tried the Make Prem sunscreen but judging from the similar texture of tinasorb s in Skin1004 sunscreen, I gather it is okay on my skin. 😊
It’s so funny that make prem seemed to drop in popularity. They were everywhere a few years back. But yes, they do have great options! (I have a fondness for them as that brand had the first ever k-beauty sunscreen I tried 🥲)
Lovely! but I am sooo waiting for the tinted sunscreens to be reviewed:>> maybe idea for the next video?:) do you have to recommend any ? I like Missha SPF 42 but I also need something purely chemical while missha is physical (amazing though for really cheap!!)
@@AliceintheRabbitHole full tinted would be better, but even tinted moisturizer would be also better than no tint. Usually I apply non tinted SPF as first layer and want to apply second one tinted (instead of foundation), no need for high coverage though:) do you know any good options?:)
Please could I ask your sun stick recommendations for topping up when not in direct sun for someone who has dry skin and has just started isotretinoin/accutane?
I never got a Vana box before, but I only like the Haru Haru and Make Prem sunscreens. Not a fan of that sun cushion, as cushions feel unhygienic and gross to me so could never get around the whole cushion thing in Korea. Same with sticks, not a fan of the waxy feel. I really want to try the Isntree onion one and the some by me, as never heard of those before. I think I will pick them un individually instead since I dont need the sticks and cushion.
Haha ok so I’ll confess to you: I share your feelings on cushions, but try to persevere anyway…by constantly cleaning/swapping out the pads. Doesn’t help with the oddness of double dipping, but I figure (/hope) it helps overall!
My mom (normal slightly dry skin) has always used Japanese sunscreen, and after letting her try multiple Korean sunscreens, she fell in love with the Haruharu airy fit because it’s velvety finish. But since summer is coming, and we live in a very hot and humid climate (30C, 90% humidity), we’re looking for a matte sunscreen, maybe even sweat proof. Any suggestions?
I’m confused! Some by mi has UVA protection or not? I’m in the UK, I received it without PA data. I received different Korean sunscreens but only this one has no PA data. If it has no UVA protection, I will just throw it to bin😢
Broad spectrum means it has UVB and UVA coverage, but in the U.S., companies are not required to disclose how much UVA protection. It’s labeled for the U.S. market (interestingly), so it just says broad spectrum spf 50 Hope that helps!
@@AliceintheRabbitHoleyou can get them at the following sites 1. Care to Beauty 2. Cosmetis 3. Cocoon center Though youll need to buy a lot to justify shipping. Or for the first 2 sites, get a few for a reasonable shipping cost. Also, they tend to use both old and new filters mixed so be careful about that. Niche Beauty has some sunscreens with all newer filters but they had sold out for their current sale atm.
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I just ordered LRP uvmune invisible fluid and Eucerin oil control for the summer from Care to Beauty. I think it's one of the very few websites that sell European sunscreens and ship them to US. The delivery was super fast. Haven't tried them yet because these will be my summer sunscreens.
Most of the ones here look dewy, is that true? I haven't tried any of them. I want something that dries down & won't leave residue on my hands or sunglasses. I hate that. I have a normal skin type.
Yes! Face Republic has one (it’s in my waterproof sunscreens video: I was very impressed with it!) Missha also has an option, but I didn’t enjoy the scent in it
Avo/oxy-benzone, sadly. It’s why I can’t use ANY western chemical sunscreens (as those are the only approved UVA filters we have in chemical options) 💔
HHW!!!!! My favorite!!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍☀️☀️☀️🤍🤍🤍 I don’t use anything under it but maybe a serum lol it’s a moisturizer primer plumper ceramides excellentness!!!!! And the best part satin best skin day ever finish!!! I wish it held up in summer 🤣 it melts off … any waterproof like this you know of no alcohol sensitive skin friendly THANKS!!!! If anyone knows you do 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 p.calm water barrier is my go to in June July August lol
Yes!! Kiss Me Mommy UV Aqua Milk was recommended to me by LOTS of folks as a water-resistant and alcohol/fragrance-free option. I am floored by how nice it is!!
I have tried the Some bi Me one, for my d4y skin it's great but nothing beats the D'alba waterful essence, wishit was cheaper, using P.calm andclove ❤that one
i think you mixed up tinosorb s and tinosorb m! the isntree doesn't have tinosorb m, it has tinosorb s. same base formula as the haruharu airy fit.
Oh my gosh, you’re correct!
Thank you so much for catching that. No wonder I like the formula so much LOL
I was so excited about the purple sunscreen and I understand the confusion about Tinasorb S instead of Tinasorb M. I saw an ingredient list somewhere that had Tinasorb M rather than Tinasorb S in the new Isntree Onion Newpair line. Easy mistake if typing out the ingredient lists.
@@agiles6483 what’s the difference between them? Is it important?

Your sunscreen recommendations never fail me and I love trying new products, so that Isintree onion option looks amazing!
It’s quite good, and what surprised me is it’s still different! Definitely more lightweight in feel (and has my beloved onion extract lol!)

I haven’t tried any of these sunscreens but my new favorite is definitely P. Calm Sun Cream.❤

@@AliceintheRabbitHole yeah I thought that was the case. Oh well. I am in my 50s and this crap is part of the course! At least when you get to my age things will be even better!
Hi Alice, do you have a video on sunscreens containing Tinosorb S? I recently tried the viral Skin1004 Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sunscreen, only to realize it gave me a bit of white cast, which I think is due to Tinosorb M. I would love a best of Tinosorb S sunscreen video from you!
I don’t but I love this idea!
Hi Alice, I am feeling a little interested in the VT powder pact since I am leaning towards fair skin. The blue base is also a nice color... 😅
Have not tried the Make Prem sunscreen but judging from the similar texture of tinasorb s in Skin1004 sunscreen, I gather it is okay on my skin. 😊
It’s so funny that make prem seemed to drop in popularity. They were everywhere a few years back. But yes, they do have great options! (I have a fondness for them as that brand had the first ever k-beauty sunscreen I tried 🥲)
Your skin is gorgeous and tight, its a dream!
Lovely! but I am sooo waiting for the tinted sunscreens to be reviewed:>> maybe idea for the next video?:) do you have to recommend any ? I like Missha SPF 42 but I also need something purely chemical while missha is physical (amazing though for really cheap!!)
Full tinted sunscreen or more of tinted moisturizer to go over sunscreen?
@@AliceintheRabbitHole full tinted would be better, but even tinted moisturizer would be also better than no tint. Usually I apply non tinted SPF as first layer and want to apply second one tinted (instead of foundation), no need for high coverage though:) do you know any good options?:)
😂 inspired by Arrested Development😂 I love your videos ❤
Could you tell please may Isntree onion sun cream be used around eyes as all other sunscreens? And may it be used on top of Medik8 liquid peptides?
Has Isntree onion suscreen as dewy finish as Madagascar centella sunscreen or a little bit less?
Please could I ask your sun stick recommendations for topping up when not in direct sun for someone who has dry skin and has just started isotretinoin/accutane?
My favorite is isntree’s HA sun stick!
I never got a Vana box before, but I only like the Haru Haru and Make Prem sunscreens. Not a fan of that sun cushion, as cushions feel unhygienic and gross to me so could never get around the whole cushion thing in Korea. Same with sticks, not a fan of the waxy feel. I really want to try the Isntree onion one and the some by me, as never heard of those before. I think I will pick them un individually instead since I dont need the sticks and cushion.
Haha ok so I’ll confess to you: I share your feelings on cushions, but try to persevere anyway…by constantly cleaning/swapping out the pads. Doesn’t help with the oddness of double dipping, but I figure (/hope) it helps overall!
Plz try japanese sunscreen
I love J-Beauty sunscreen! It’s my waterproof video that covers them (for now, we will do something this year too 😁)
My mom (normal slightly dry skin) has always used Japanese sunscreen, and after letting her try multiple Korean sunscreens, she fell in love with the Haruharu airy fit because it’s velvety finish.
But since summer is coming, and we live in a very hot and humid climate (30C, 90% humidity), we’re looking for a matte sunscreen, maybe even sweat proof. Any suggestions?
Is she willing to go back to J-Beauty? I think they have the best selection in matte/water-resistant sunscreens imo!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole yes totally!
Have you seen the Chemist Confessions video on ginseng in skincare?
I haven’t! Will go check it out though ☺️
I’m confused! Some by mi has UVA protection or not? I’m in the UK, I received it without PA data. I received different Korean sunscreens but only this one has no PA data. If it has no UVA protection, I will just throw it to bin😢
Broad spectrum means it has UVB and UVA coverage, but in the U.S., companies are not required to disclose how much UVA protection. It’s labeled for the U.S. market (interestingly), so it just says broad spectrum spf 50
Hope that helps!
Do you use or review European sunscreens? I have heard a lot about Anthelios uvmune 400. I'm wondering how it compares to k sunscreens.
It’s so funny, I would like to. But I’m actually not sure where to get them!
@@AliceintheRabbitHoleyou can get them at the following sites
1. Care to Beauty
2. Cosmetis
3. Cocoon center
Though youll need to buy a lot to justify shipping. Or for the first 2 sites, get a few for a reasonable shipping cost. Also, they tend to use both old and new filters mixed so be careful about that. Niche Beauty has some sunscreens with all newer filters but they had sold out for their current sale atm.
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I just ordered LRP uvmune invisible fluid and Eucerin oil control for the summer from Care to Beauty. I think it's one of the very few websites that sell European sunscreens and ship them to US. The delivery was super fast. Haven't tried them yet because these will be my summer sunscreens.
Most of the ones here look dewy, is that true? I haven't tried any of them. I want something that dries down & won't leave residue on my hands or sunglasses. I hate that. I have a normal skin type.
Yes! You should look into J-Beauty sunscreens - they have matte and satin finishes, while k-beauty tends to be dewy ☺️
Can anyone recommend a sweat/water resistant Korean sunscreen? I can only seem to find Japanese, EU, and US ones.
Yes! Face Republic has one (it’s in my waterproof sunscreens video: I was very impressed with it!)
Missha also has an option, but I didn’t enjoy the scent in it
Hi Alice, what Korean sunscreen can I recommend to my friend with rosacia?
I’m not well versed in rosacea specifically, but in general most K-beauty sunscreens are quite non-irritating! ☺️
I might check Dr. Sam Ellis' channel as she has rosacea. She's covered k-beauty in her videos including sunscreens.
I'm not Alice but have a family member with rosacea and she absolutely loves the Beauty of Joseon relief sun cream
Hi Alice ❌️⭕️
What are you allergic to in the someby mi? Fragrance? Theres fragrance in the toccobo too
Avo/oxy-benzone, sadly. It’s why I can’t use ANY western chemical sunscreens (as those are the only approved UVA filters we have in chemical options) 💔
HHW!!!!! My favorite!!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍☀️☀️☀️🤍🤍🤍 I don’t use anything under it but maybe a serum lol it’s a moisturizer primer plumper ceramides excellentness!!!!! And the best part satin best skin day ever finish!!! I wish it held up in summer 🤣 it melts off … any waterproof like this you know of no alcohol sensitive skin friendly THANKS!!!! If anyone knows you do 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 p.calm water barrier is my go to in June July August lol
Yes!! Kiss Me Mommy UV Aqua Milk was recommended to me by LOTS of folks as a water-resistant and alcohol/fragrance-free option. I am floored by how nice it is!!
Yippee
🐰
Don’t even get me started on some by mi and their “ forsensitive skin types” claims 😒
Essential oils, for sensiti-no. No I can’t even say it in jest 😭
I have tried the Some bi Me one, for my d4y skin it's great but nothing beats the D'alba waterful essence, wishit was cheaper, using P.calm andclove ❤that one
p.calm’s is excellent!
