So apparently I live near a few very cool Korean Skincare stores - The Face Shop, Tony Moly and The Amore Pacific!! I'm going to have to try some of these places out.


anyone know if CosRx is available in the US?

You can get COSRX online through RoseRoseShop, WishTrend or eBay! That's where I usually get mine. For eBay, just make sure they're based in SK and have high ratings.

Absolutely LOVE korean makeup!! In fact...I just bought an eyeshadow from The Faceshop earlier!

I have a ton of serums, essences, face creams, random face products on rotation but theres only a few that I really like.
-Etude House wonderpore toner: cleans all the leftover dirt and grime so well after face washing that I even stopped getting the huge deep pimples that pop up after my period! I got one a zit as soon as I changed my routine and started using another rose witch hazel in the am -.-
Innisfree green tea seed serum: makes my skin look healthy
The Face Shop core seed essence: this really makes my skin soft and smooth after I put it on....
Mizon snail cream: not sure if it does make my skin look younger but it is pretty moisturizing...
Laneige water sleeping mask: I use it once or twice a week and it keeps my skin moisturized.
Skinfood black sugar scrub: if you scrub with your face semi dry...and leave it on for like 15 minutes you will get smooth baby skin...everyone I've recommended it to has given it good reviews.
Etude house nymph aura volumer: my holy grail part 1- I use this in combination with my bb cream for the shiny, dewy skin look...and when I do use it, I get a lot of compliments on how my skin looks good...
Holika holika petite clearing BB cream: holy grail #2...OMG this oxidizes sooo nicely on my skin and looks super natural!
Etude house grapefruit jelly blush: LOVE the peachy pink healthy glow it gives you ;)

I have heard great things about the Wonder Pore Toner, The Green Tea Seed Essence and the Black Sugar Mask from Skinfood..they are probably the products I will go for next..I want something to smooth my skin and get rid of tiny acne cysts on the side of my face. I was thinking of trying the Benton 'Snail and Bee Essence' because I read a number of glowing reviews of it being great for rough skin and acne scars and skin marks. There are so many products for similar things it is hard to choose haha

That is so helpful, thank you! Any Korean creams or serums you would recommend for fine lines or wrinkles? Or skin plumping? Thanks!

Sorry! I actually dont...I just use random products that I hear are good for skin. Seems like if you moisturize enough, your fine lines will slowly diminish.

I recieved a small pack of snail bee essence as a sample and when I tried it, it seemed pretty good, bit didn't really stand out to me. I know it does have pretty good reviews online though!

I have some Korean makeup & skincare favorites to share! I've tried quite a few products from different brands, but these are standouts for me.

-Club Clio's Kill Black liquid eyeliner: So black, and so long lasting. Best liner I've tried.

-Hera UV Mist Cushion Foundation: I like Hera's formula best out of all the cushion foundations I've tried. It's not too yellow, or gray which most Korean foundations are notorious for.

-IOPE Bio Essence: The most important product in my entire skincare regimen. Really makes a huge difference in the clarity and brightness (from within) of your skin. A good cheaper alternative is Nature Republic's The First Essence.

-Mamonde Flower Essential face sheet masks: Affordable and full of essence.

-Tony Moly Magic Lip Tint in Strawberry (the clear one): It's a cheaper dupe ($7!) for Dior Addict's lip glow. It's also slightly stickier so it's good if you have dry lips and it's slightly more pigmented.



Next to try on my list:
-Missha Time Revolution
-Hera CC Cream
-Innisfree Eco Fruit Lip Tint
-SU:M37 Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick

SU:UM37 miracle rose cleansing stick is amazing!

This is really great to know! I'm already quite impressed with the SK-II as it is :) In what ways is the Missha one better?:smile1:

I get the same results with Missha as I do the SK-II. Since I spend quite a bit on my serums and moisturizers, I continued using the Missha and never looked back.

my skin has been loving the Tony Moly snail gel. I apply just a bit in the evening and my face feels so good in the morning.

Any dupes for IOPE Enzyme Powder Treatment Wash? I received 4 sample packs, really like that you only have to use a tiny bit of powder, feels great on and does wonderful cleansing without stripping
