@@smack2760 Yep, and they probably change frequently! I actually don't even see any specifically about keeping things on hand. I'm not really asking favorites, just like, things that NEED to be available at all times. I watch the products of the year videos, as well as the "favorites" type videos. But the content I'm suggesting feels at least slightly different to me. It's more of a "over the years I've just always relied on ___ product and always want to have it available". sorry if I wasn't clear enough!

Tbh Anua Peach serum has done absolutely nothing for me personally. I don't actually find it particularly hydrating or brightening. :/

Thanks for your reviews! My Remedy is arriving tomorrow. Can't wait to try it out🙂

I’m glad I’m not the only one who had trouble with the Anya heartleaf toner. I have sensitive skin and so many people were raving about how gentle and nice it is on their skin, but it stung every time I used it. I even took a break from it as you did and waited until my skin looked like it was at its best and tried it again, and it still stung me. I went back to using peach slices snail rescue toner for when my skin breaks out, and the I’m from rice toner everyday for my dry and sensitive skin.

I’m so glad you mentioned Remedy for dark spots (and pore size) in this video! I was hoping you’d do a review of the products at some point. I just ordered dark spot (and the lip product) the other day and am really nervous - since it’s so new and there aren’t many reviews - but also excited! Also, I kept making eye contact with your shirt and it threw me 😅

I also experienced burning with the Anua toner - like I’ve used it up, but it’s not something I’m going to repurchase. The reformulated Naturie Hatomugi Skin Conditioner though 😍

I love your videos James!!! How about a video showing hidden gems products that not many people talk about?

You're the only skin influencer I watch. I have tried to watch other people...but I've gotten so used to your voice/cadence of speech, the way you present yourself & your advice & input are invaluable. Thanks for not changing as you've gained notoriety over the years James! 🖤😁

I love the Missha essence; it is a skin care staple for me! It's well worth the price, and ordering through Stylevana will save you a couple of dollars. I decided to give I'd a try after learning about it from James.

I love that you include a product you'd recommend! Super helpful!!!!

Ha, I do the same. Use the things that don't work on my face on my body and I have problems with the Numbuzin Nr.3 toner too. I brake out with it so I use on my body instead

Its always so fascinating to see how products react to different skin because Round lab suncream + their cleanser broke me out so bad by giving me so many tiny little bumps and spots that im still trying to get rid of now 😭 and in comparison the anua toner made my skin feel so nice and non stinging

Just gotta say i got my skincare package already!!!! And i love everything so far! I used the cleanser last night and patch tested the toner and moisturizer, but used my normal moisturizer just in case. No reaction this morning, so i used them this morning and the sunscreen, and loooove so far! Everything feels super nice and the sunscreen is sooo comfortable and easy to apply and doesnt sting my skin!! I am so pleasantly surprised so far

I actually like Anua more than Roundlab toner. It feels more hydrated for my combo skin. but it's all about experiences so I guess I'm gonna try other toners with purposes like brightening😂

just got my round lab box today! i already tried the sunscreen and i love it, usually after 3-5hrs after applying my skin gets so dry and tight but it's been about 5hrs since i put it on and it feels totally fine 👍 i'm excited to use the cleanser tonight!!❤

I have rosacea too and the Ultra Violette Supreme Screen is my go to SPF. It's weird but I can't really smell anything when I apply it, and yet I know someone who says it smells like mangoes(???). However, a product that I would not repurchase because it has that old fashioned, very strong migraine-inducing type scent you described is the Ren Perfect Canvas Essence. It's so highly fragranced it feels like I'm dousing my face with Chanel No5 😬

Yeah that is my favourite sun screen and I've never had any issue with any scent. I often use it as my primer too.

That Purito toner... I have the older one, pre-reformulation/repackaging. I liked it, but preferred Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner so just wasn't using it. That changed, however, when I discovered it was a great base for andrographis extract. I pop in about one capsule per 30 ml so it absorbs well. It's amaaaazing with everything together! So I'll probably repurchase, only to manipulate it again! 😂

Anua works for most people but Acwell licorice Ph balancing toner is the best toner I’ve tried as far as a gentle, healing, hydrating toner. It’s wonderful and the second it hits your face it instantly hydrates and feels refreshed and just so nice. I use 4 toners but if I had to pick one it would be this one haha. I’m obsessed with it

For me anua was much better than acwell. Acwell foams on my skin and leaves a film and I get irritation and pimples from it. Anua is like super hydrating and soothing to my skin. That's how different products are for different people.

I have no issues with fragrance either, but the Elemis cleansing balm I hated. I can't see why they had to make a naked version! I'm so thankful I only got the mini to try because I barely made it through that size 😬 I've used less fragrant perfumes!

Thank you for bringing light to the Numbuzin toner... I heard so many things about it and nowhere told me it would have a strong smell then I bought it, and wondered why no one had mentioned it in other reviews!

I’m in LOVE with Rhode cleanser. The pineapple enzyme fragrance is so soothing. I have extremely dry skin. It never leaves my skin dry. Funny how things work differently for people. I love how the Rhodes feels when using. I find myself cleaning much longer because it’s so soothing to use. It washes off fast. I never feel like I have to keep rinsing. ❤

I used the Purito centella serum & toner years ago, and can’t recall having any issues with them. So I thought I’d try them again recently. I don’t know if the formula has changed or if my skin has just decided it doesn’t like the products anymore, but the serum brings me out in a rash!! Not purging - actual irritation.😩🤔 I’ll stick to the COSRX hydrium line, which my rosacea prone skin seems to appreciate!

I really enjoy the Kate Somerville goat milk cleanser- very nice! I use the Ultra Violet sunscreen and like you have noticed a changed within the last year of their formula. Maybe my skin is changing too?

Hey! Thanks for this video! I got my kid a bottle of that heartleaf toner because he was having skin issues. I thought it would help for all the same reasons you did, though I had never tried that toner, myself. I contacted him after your video and asked him if he had tried it because your experience was that it stung. He confirmed that he had the same experience of stinging on his already compromised skin. I directed him to immediately stop using it. I just got him a bottle of the purito stuff, instead. Thanks!

this is how I felt about the Naturium niacinamide serum ☹️ the percentage is really high and made my face red and flushed. even the niacinamide cleanser makes me red if I leave it on for too long 😢

So interesting! I wear the ultra violette sunscreen every day and never noticed the scent nor the pilling. For me it’s the one sunscreen that doesn’t feel like I’ve applied anything and it doesn’t interact negatively with any other product I use. Just goes to show how things work differently for everyone. But also that round lab sunscreen has been sitting in my wishlist for a while so I’ll def check it out when I make a new YesStyle order 😊

In general, I've found it tough to get through some of the higher-end J-beauty skincare. My skin has a preference for minimal, straight forward products which are the cheaper ones.

I bought the Round Lab skincare set you did with them, and I very much was surprised by and am enjoying the sunscreen! It's so good! I'd had a problem finding sunscreen that didn't pill on my skin or irritate me. I'd been using spray sunscreen, which works fine, but I will definitely be repurchasing the Round Lab sunscreen!

I've been using the anua heartleaf toner and it's fine. No stinging for me. I use reuseable toning pads from Rose Inc and have no issues applying it.

Biossance Squalene + Omega has a smell that I can’t get past, although the cream is fine. Hold my breath when I apply it. Inky List Bioactive Ceramide Repair Cream is my new go to moisture cream.

I like the smell of the Numbuzin essence! It is quite...distinct, though, so I get why it's not for everyone.

I loved Tina's video, her whole channel is ✨️chefs kiss✨️, I'd love to see more of this kind of video, I think jts so interesting and so useful

I purchased the Hydrating Ultra Violette when I was in France last year and was so disappointed! It’s not hydrating, did not set well under my makeup and does not look good on its own. I have also been disappointed with the Rhode cleanser which I really wanted to love 😢

omg the Anua toner stung my skin aswell!! Thought I was going crazy because its supposed to be soothing🤣 after a week my skin was so red. stopped using the toner the red was gone

If we're talking about galactomyces essence, secret key starting treatment essence is a good start at an affordable price. I totally get the scent thing. I've tried some ginseng products that smelled like straight-up potting soil.

I adore the Numbuzin 3 essence. I don't find the smell overwhelming, but I agree it does remind me of the 90s. I alternate it with Tirtir Milk Toner. I use one in the morning and the other at night.

The anua toner broke me out and gave me little red bumps when I first started using it. Gave it a second chance and same thing happened, but eventually my skin learned to tolerate it and OMG- my skin texture has never been this smooth. The tiny bumps I had for so long that I assumed was just my natural skin texture disappeared in 3 days! It’s also very moisturizing and soothing, great for sensitive skin UNLESS you are allergic to heartleaf. Buy the mini size before buying the jumbo just in case!

I completely agree with the anua one, it breaks me out and stings so bad !!! Yes, I did buy it because of the hype and my money got wasted 😢

I really enjoyed the Nubuzin toner on my body. And I thought the Anua toner was a bit blah. I'm much more enjoying toners from Simply This and Oganacell at the moment. And I've re-fallen in love with the Saro de Rue x Gothamista essene as well.

This video is so helpful !

Do more videos like this. Really enjoyed this one👍

That's so interesting that the Anua toner is really a 50/50. I personally love it but I know so many people that also cannot tolerate it.

Finally, someone who talks about the scent in the Ultra Violette Supreme Screen! Thought I was the only one! I got it in the SpaceNK advent calendar a few years ago. And I couldn't get the hype of it. The scent is really bad. Like I thought I had gotten a bad product. Yet the expiration date stated it wouldn't go bad until a year. I was afraid of selling it further as someone might feel cheated thinking I sold a spoiled product. So I finished it not to my liking. Also agree that it doesn't sit well on the skin, and makes it sort of off look bad after a few hours. It's definitely overhyped or they're having some manufacturing problems.

i had the same issue with the anua heartleaf toner!!! so annoying when it is meant to be calming!

The product I'm trying to use up and never come back to is the Round Lab Dokdo Cream. It's very heavy and unpleasant. It doesn't do anything terrible, just feels really sticky and gross on my skin. I don't want to throw it out, so powering through it so that I can move on to better things once it's done.

Great reviews!💜

i actually just got that round lab sunscreen like a week ago cause i remembered you recommending it lmao

i'm shocked the smell was that noticeable to you in the numbuzn 3 essence. personally i love it. my super sensitive dry skin just drinks it up. then again i used glow recipe dew drops after so maybe that kind of masked the smell for me?

I own some of these and now I'm scared to use them 😂 But I do love Anua and it remind me of Round Lab. I have heard that Anua will make fragrance free peach serum, but I'm not sure if that is from legit source

I'd be so interested in seeing a review on more Australian sunscreens. Just because I believe our UV and sunscreen laws are different/adjusted. I feel like we have so many but that I also don't know enough about them, or just find they don't even get close to being as good on the skin as the roundlab one

I've heard amazing things about the Naked Sundays sunscreens, but I really can't afford that price point... But I definitely have a lot of trust in Australian sunscreen testing!!

100% agree with weird fragrances in products - I much prefer fresh, light scents. Oh, and the heart-leaf toner irritated my skin and I broke out with little red bumps from it- I had to give it away to a friend with less skin sensitivity 😢

Rose water smells so nice and has benefits for the skin. My skin doesn’t like fragrance so I have to avoid it but I wish it was tolerable because fragrance in skincare gives me aromatherapy vibes that makes doing my skincare so much more like self care. So of a brand needs to add fragrance I wonder why they don’t turn to rose water?

Hated Sunday Riley Good Genes, Latic Acid serum, sting my face and caused hyperpigmentation. I wish more brands told you the concentration of key ingredients like the Ordinary, especially acids it doesn’t take much for skin of colour to hyper-pigment. Knowing that eugenics is Latin for good genes just gives me the creeps for the whole company. I got it through a makeup/skin care subscription so didn’t really pay for it, but yeah only used it a few times weeks apart before throwing it away.

Hi, James! How did you get ahold of the Remedy Skincare? I don't think they ship to the UK? 😊

My skin is oily, so I love a cleanser like Rhode. I would use it and then just moisturize.

Another great vodeo!! Thank you!!

What!?!? The numbuzin essence toner works amazing on my skin my skin has been loving it and I have sentive to combo skin, I struggled with texture and this definitely helped my texture and my skin tone has been more even.

If you are interested in an essence with a large variety of ferments the high end Korean brand Su:m 37 is worth checking out. Their Secret Essence has 80 different botanical ferments, and being an LG brand, I have a little more faith that all of them are meaningful additions with at least some scientific justification. I'm loving the mist version, which is a slightly diluted formula. It has a small hint of that fermented smell, and the most wonderfully fine mist I've ever used.

I like numbuzin toner, after hyped dr.ceraucle kombucha essence, which break me horribly out, this is so nice and i find its smell pleasent. And im really sensitive to fragrances, i stop to use fragranced body washes and lotions. I would try Missha essence, but it's not available here....

YES, the Anua toner stings!!! I have sensitive skin, and anytime I tried that product, whether my skin was irritated or in good condition, it stung. HOW is this rated so highly??

I have a controversial one: the Laneige lip sleeping mask in berry. I HATE the scent so much!! And usually I love scented things, fragrance never bothers me BUT the scent on this sleeping mask is so strong and it smells like bubblegum medicine 😭 I’ve been struggling to finish it for years now

Hey James, I'd love to get your thoughts on tools for skincare like the medicube devices and whether you think they are worth it especially since they can run around 300

I have seen a lot of feedback on the Anua lotion in your direction, I fortunately tried it myself in a travel format, and every time I apply it I have burning and tingling sensations if I use it. uses several days in a row I have spots that appear and redness even though I have normal to oily skin, not very sensitive at the base

I couldn't do the Anua toner either. Or the Round Lab Dokdo, both of which surprised me.

I also have the Numbuzin essence number 3 and cannot finish it. :( I got around a third of the way through the bottle before the overwhelming smell finally got to me. I'm going to give it to a friend to finish up. I wish there were more fragrance-free skincare options.

For years and years I used Clinique’s dramatically different moisturizer (the yellow one in the square pump bottle) and had great results. But this year I bought a new bottle, started using it, and for some reason my face started mass-producing oil. I couldn’t get halfway through the day without looking and feeling greasy. I don’t know if they changed the formula or if I just got a bad bottle, but I’ve been putting it just on my legs/body so that I can use it up. If anyone has recommendations for similar moisturizers to try let me know!

The Rhode cleanser also dried my skin out like crazy, ended up using it as a body wash after the gym instead

I am really liking the Remedy serum and the way the bottle opens is cool

I actually liked the peach serum, I even got the lotion but fragrance is indeed a personal thing

I had the same issue with the Anua “soothing” toner…what’s the deal?

Since I have Psoriasis on my face I really have to avoid fragranced skincare altogether. There is really a only small amount of fragenced skincare I can even use

devastated when I saw you pick up the numb3 essence because I have it sitting and waiting to use. find it interesting that the anua essence stung your skin because when my barrier was compromised a month or two back, it was about the only thing I could put on my skin that didn't sting. one product I can't get through is that anua 70% serum. I tried using it last year but my skin didn't like it might have been the fragrance.

I put the Anua 77% toner in a spray bottle and use it as my face mist during my skin routine. I was kinda scared to use it as I've recently discovered that something in the Cosrx snail mucin ESSENCE stings my skin when applied directly. I didn't expect that seeing as I use the moisturizer and a different snail toner.

I LOVE the Numbuzin essence tonner! To me the smell is not strong at all and I'm 38 so maybe I'm "old. 🤣My skin feels so great and glowy in the morning, I only use it at night.

The only time I was happy about using the Numbuzin no 3 toner was when I used it for the last time and could throw away the bottle. I do like some mild scents in skin care, but that one smells like old pungent perfume. I dreaded using it each time. It was quite expensive for my budget so I forced myself to use it up. But I did not enjoy it AT ALL!!

Could you please review the skincare from The body shop? I think they have updated their formulas. Just bought og tried the E vitamine Line and i was (very) suprised that i liked the line so much, because I have sensitive, dehydrated, acne prone skin. The last time I bought something from the body shop was about 15 years ago, and it was soo bad.
