I agree. J and K skincare is so overwhelming, there's so much to choose from that I really appreciate a good reviewer whose not just being paid to say what the companies want them to say. I've bought loads of things on the strength of her recommendations and explanations of texture, ingredients and personal experience.

Aestura cream has saved my skin. I had a bad flare up due to diet and extreme dry skin, lasted about a month and a half. I was going nuts, my skin hated everything except water 😅 I found this cream and figured why not, it had good ingredients and in a few days my skin was almost healed. I'm almost done with the container, already purchased another. Nothing beats Korean skincare for me. I'm American but American skincare just doesnt play nice with my skin at all.

Exactly the same! At this point in my life I’m almost scared to let North American products besides a few select items, to touch my skin. I’ve had soooo many bad reactions irritations, pilling, etc and Asian creams and skincare come along and save my shitty skin. Nothing beats Asian skincare and the prices aren’t ridiculous either, formulations actually have a purpose and the textures and quality is far above. Our skincare in the US is sub standard and kind of behind the times. Like 2010

Tina, I want to really thank you for showing us yourself(especially upclose) without any smoothing filters or anything else. Even though i've been watching your vids for quiet a while, I literally teared up while watching this video today. Recently my self esteem was low, i got so frustrated with my skin, and seeing you helped me remember that human are supposed to have pores, that it's normal to have pimples and blackheads and redness here and there. My skin is a normal human skin. Thank you so much, Tina, i love you

Thanks Maria for 'seconding' this toner. I'm definitely buying it when I visit Tokyo later this year-- I've already added it to my list.

LOVE that aestura mist! 1% ceramide!!! It has even more barrier benefits for me than the cream skin! I can use it as a creamy toner or as a normal mist- doesnt leave me dehydrated! Their cream and water cream in that 365 line are wonderful too! have one of each in backup!

I have combo skin and i absolutely love the neogen serum. The texture is thick, but for me it doesn’t feel heavy at all. I also don’t feel like it’s sticky or tacky on the skin. My holy grail serum, makes my skin so soft and supple.

I have used up 3 bottles of Ipsa Toner and I love it! It just works with any type of routine and with every products. It is just an easy product in that sense. Works with everything.

I love Aestura mist. When I felt like don’t want to wear any skincare i just spray this to my face. Already bought the 2nd bottle.

Cosrx galactomyces essence is quite underrated. It's my favorite alternative for SK II. For the prize it does help to give me instant plump effect and brighten my complexion overtime.

I'm currently using the Neogen Real Ferment Micro Serum and the texture also surprised me! Mine looks the same as yours, so I'm not sure if it was necessarily a bad batch. I have dry skin and going through a dry winter. I looove this serum! It feels very hydrating and leaves my skin super soft.

You know, I’m so glad I found your Channel. Getting into Asian beauty has completely changed my skin

you're so stunning Tina!... the contacts are also really pretty

Have the same problem with my rovectin clean ampoule (the green bottle)...I've been digging out the plastic rings off other ampoule bottles once finished and plug into bottles that don't come with the ring. Works like magic!

The contacts look SO PRETTY on you!!

So pleased that someone I trust reviewed the Ipsa toner. I know I just want the bottle. (Have been using the blue Hada Labo for years!)

I love the Neogen micro essence just as much as you do and the first time I tried the serum I had the SAME REACTION TO IT AS YOU 😂‼️-- UNTIL--- I started using it in my nighttime routine in a layering sandwich process on retinol/retinal nights I still use the essence nearly everyday and now have learned to love ❤️ the benefits I see from this serum it brightens up my complexion and is one of few products that contains actual ascorbic acid that I can handle Oh and urs IS NOT BAD that is the consistency 😂

Your hair, skin and makeup un this video 😍😍😍 Beautiful!!

So good to see a review for the cosRX galatomyces serum!

Love love love the lenses! So pretty 😍

omg finally u got the ipsa toner.... its sooooo good

Your review was so details. Love it ❤

I'll need to try the Aestura cream mist for summer.

Great review 💜 Rovectin have said that they don’t use the plastic stopper in their bottles for sustainability reasons, so the bottle can directly go into the recycling

Omg I was also thinking of the Hada Labo brightening toner when you mentioned Ipsa, I saw the Ipsa toner on sale and got it for 50 AUD, it felt nice and was decently hydrating for the lightweight texture but I have to say I still like the Hada Labo one way more, the moist version of it is just so much more hydrating and feels more calming, brightening, and helped fade my red marks more, not to mention it’s much much cheaper too 😂

I'm so grateful for your videos, they're so fun to watch. I'm going to Japan soon and have been chewing through most of your recent videos lately to compile a shopping list lol IPSA was something I was interested in and I'm glad you mentioned licorice root, it's something I'm actively avoiding after healing from TSW (steroid withdrawal) and licorice root affects cortisol levels, albeit I'm sure it's barely noticeble in skincare but still gotta be careful. :( Please keep providing these sorts of info! It's really valuable :)

Hi, Tina. Can I just say, You look so good with your hair color and lenses ❤👌

Neogen serum is not that moving but can be used at nights at least, for those hate the littlest amount of stickiness, makes them far too disturbed (ultimate combo here). I like this range from neogen.

I heard that rovectin made its bottle like that without the plastic stopper for their Rovectin Clean line in order to minimise plastic waste! Having that info kind of made me appreciate it more and more willing to give the packaging a pass. Then I really enjoyed the serum (the green lha one in the same packaging) and definitely would repurchase.

omg that ipsa one…i’ve seen that everywhere on japanese skincare recs 😂

The Rovectin Ampoule is one of my holy grails! Very hydrating. Agree the packaging is annoying, they've done it to avoid the extra plastic. I add one from another product which isn't the best idea but I do love the serum enough to put up with the annoyance.

i've been using the Aestura cream mist as a toner, i.e. pump into hand then rub on face. it's way thicker than the Laneige. plumps and hydrates my skin like no other. can only use it at night, though. too slippery for day.

would love to know what eye make-up you have used here. so pretty

I agree. If Tina had a more gaunt face with higher cheekbones, she'd remind me so much of Hikari Mori. The face shape is different but that bright smile and gorgeous eye shape is so similar.

I was JUST talking about IPSA to another skincare creator the other day (and also found out they were under Shiseido at the same time🥲 I'm a fake J-beauty fan, I guess) I would love to see a video or a post comparing different types of this lotion/toner (ofc not challenging you to try this but would very much be grateful to have you examine their marketing and reviews😭) Also love the mention of how J-beauty approaches acne care! Licorice is definitely THE ingredient that puts so many products into the "quasi drug" category for acne care... I do think that it's still a very solid approach since otherwise those products tend to still focus on hydration aka rebalancing the skin and keeping the barrier happy while helping lighten the existing spots🤔 Does definitely take much longer than just zapping it all with BP.....But also doesn't wreak havoc as often lol

I've had the same issue with my Rovectin LHA serum, the serum is so thick that the dropper doesn't work properly and the only way to get the product on my skin/hand is to use the dropper like a doe-foot applicator which obvs isn't very hygenic. Love the Aestura moisturiser, would love to try the mist!

I watch this Japanese KZreadr かずのすけ who compares that ipsa toner to drugstore ones like the Hada Labo one, where a lot of the cost is into that packaging, but the ingredients are pretty average and you can get the same benefits from the hada labo premium whitening toner. I love the Aestura cream mist, I've used a few of them as it's like laneige but lighter

I'm really curious with Aestura products since both Aestura and Laneige are owned by the same company, AmorePacific, so it should be great!

I have the neogen serum. Mine’s not sticky at all but does feel siliconey ? Reminds me of some primers But it’s doing pretty well with other products i use (klairs toner and wellage real cica cream)

Bit late, but I have the Rovectin Biome ampoule and simply put the plastic insert from an empty serum bottle in it to fix the issue 🙃 (I think it was the Mary & May peptide but any similar size one will do). They've recently repackaged it anyway so I guess it will be a non issue soon. It is quite a lovely serum apart from that small packaging flaw.

U know if sometime m not relating still watch you and ur voice sounds honest please be same like this always 👀🐥🐥

Will You Please Do a video comparing the HadaLabo versus SK II？

I agree about the rovectin serum it is so annoying and messy to use I mean it isn't bad but I don't really reach for it either and it's my first rovectin product I have tried. The RNW ceramide plus serum packaging sucks with the dropper but I love it so much I don't care I still reach for it . The neogen serum broke me out .

i have the cosrx galactomyces toner and ive tried the sk-II essence and honestly.... i notice better results with the ski-II. i really don't know why but the the cosrx one just doesn't seem to do anything for my skin, plus the ski-II is a nice watery texture while the cosrx one tends to pill for me

Is the neogen essence better than numbuzin n.3 toner? Since both have feemented ingredients I'm trying to igure out which one to purchase

Hi Tina I was wondering if you could review the nacific fresh herb origin serum that is advertised by stray kids

Question, does the IPSA bottle cap come off so you could reuse the bottle?

Which one do you prefer? The SKII or the IPSA?

Sometimes I think toners should be in spray form so I can apply it evenly. Is there any way people/influencers can suggest this to brands 😅😅😅 It’s just efficient when it’s in spray form. It goes directly on intended areas, not on hands.

12:12 Not a petty reason at all! A very valid reason why I wouldnt buy something. I dont know if its just the bottle I got but the Numbuzin No.3 toner has a similar issue for me where the product somehow pools around the top of the bottle and I have to use my hands to get it off which doesn’t feel super hygienic. Am I the only one?

I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE ROVECTIN AMPOULE. They definitely needed to add that extra plastic bit in the mouth of the bottle that would scrape off the extra product, but I guess then it's not as sustainable. Sigh.

I truly wonder how people who enjoy the Laneige Cream Skin Refiner use it. I had the exact same issue - my skin is dry but I really don't know where to put it in my routine. It's not occlusive enough to use it as a moisturizer, as my last layer, but it also doesn't allow me to layer much on top. Eventually I just used it up on my body where I feel like it sank in a bit better and I could put a body lotion on top. Maybe it works well for more minimalist routines, but not for us layering fans.

It's a shame about that IPSA product, the packaging is gorgeous!!

Public service announcement for all prescription lens wearers (especially those with astigmatism): Before you order expensive coloured prescription lenses PLEASE PLEASE study how your regular lenses sit on your eyeballs; you may see that the circle of the lens does not sit perfectly over your iris, with parts of the lens perhaps 'hanging' lower under one eye or higher on one etc. What do you think will happen when you colourise such lopsided (yet extremely comfortable) lenses? Spoiler alert: you'll suddenly have eyes that look like they're pointing in two different directions. The lenses rotate until they sit perfectly on the shape of your individual eye but sadly, this rotation affects how the coloured circle sits on the eye. It's an enormous gamble to order bespoke or just expensive prescription lenses for astigmatism, or indeed, if you haven't sat in front of a mirror in bright light to analyse how your lenses sit. I envy anybody who can have fun with coloured prescription lenses. Tina can wear anything and look gorgeous, lucky thing. 🤩👁
