Whew, this video was a lot more intense than I thought it would be! But hopefully it helps - feel free to ask if you have other questions! Quick correction: in the rewards program section, I messed up the math on the example (so embarrassing). It’s $3.63 after rewards, not $2.95. My apologies! Editing to add: TWO mistakes!! The green towel I received from Jolse is for your body (thank you Johnson and Jennifer! Could have been a close call 😱) Hope you’re all having a wonderful week 🥰

Can’t THANK YOU enough for this detailed info! I’ve got carts open in all these places right now. As always, I sincerely APPRECIATE all the time, work, & knowledge you put into your videos! Priceless! You’re the BEST! Sending a hug & wishes for a GREAT yr ahead! 🥰

Their products are original or dupe

What a great video! Honestly I'm surprised more haven't done a video like this. From my experiences when shopping with Stylevana no matter the time of year you're going to wait at least 3 weeks for your delivery... I'm in the UK and used them several times and takes weeks before I get a dispatch/tracking notification email. Also I think their freebies are terrible, but one thing I will say is that overall their prices are very competitive.

Indeed. I have an order I’m waiting on right now that looks like it’s going to take that same length of time. The wait is painful but the deals were too good to pass up 😆

Yay It is always a great night for a video from you! So, what I usually end up doing when I suddenly feel the need to shop is open both Yes Style and Stylevana in a different tab, see who has the most products I'm looking for in stock at the best prices, then try codes. And so far that has always worked out that I've bought from Stylevana. (I only started shopping there this past year). So now it's self-perpetuating, though, because I have no rewards at Yes Style and a good discount at Stylevana. 🤣🤣🤣 I don't really buy clothes or jewelry, though. Just skincare and make-up. I almost always have a Stylevana cart up and then it's just how long I can stop myself from buying more. I'm waiting for one right now! It'll be forever. 🤣🤣🤣

That’s such a smart system. And yeah, if you’re getting that 6-8.5% off PLUS the other codes - stylevana usually does win! I keep rolling my rewards at YesStyle which very much keeps me ordering from them as well 😆

Bahaha, I do despise paying for shipping. I had 2 Wishtrend coupons for $25 off because of that Purito sunscreen disaster. Would have been great if shipping wasn't $15 🙄 Lame. Thank you for this video, Alice! I'll be sticking with YesStyle. I can't deal with Stylevana. First, they cancelled my advent calendar order and then when I did place 1 order, it took forever to get here. I've never had an issue with YesStyle. 💚

This is so the video I needed. Been trying to find a video just like this. Thank you!!

I’m gonna add this video on my favourites playlist as a guide next time I buy Korean skincare. Living in Canada, I’ve been buying from Jolse for years due to their very cheap shipping and I’ve never paid customs cos they always lower the value on the box even if it’s a large purchase.

I ordered on 11/16/2022 and there is still no movement on the tracking # they gave me on 11/17/2022.

The Pyunkang yul cream isn’t a good choice to use as an example because out of most things being higher priced on amazon that is only $10. That whole line is actually cheaper or equal to on amazon and amazon we know ships best here in America

A video I never knew I needed 😁

I used to buy from YesStyle and TRIED to purchase from Jolse once, but after Covid they are no longer shipping to US territories until further notice, which is ridiculous. It's been what? three years already!! I tried other sites like StyleKorean and Stylevana (both claiming to offer free shipping to US after a certain amount spent using DHL) but neither grant free shipping to US territories. So I'm kinda stuck with SokoGlam, which I like but we all know that they are limited in they products they offer and some of them are pretty pricey. And Amazon is out of the question after going through the experience of them sending me fake products.

Actives are indeed tricky to define! But I would say they are meant to address a skin concern via a specific mechanism and at a specific, research-validated dose. Sometimes they’re a cosmetic drug ingredient (ie salicylic acid), sometimes they’re a prescription drug ingredient (ie tretinoin), and sometimes not a drug but still address a concern (ie vitamin c addresses hyperpigmentation).
