As soon as I run out of my sulwhasoo products think its time to give the history of whoo a try. Thank you for explaining differences between the lines :)
Thanks
My son ‘s girl friend bought this product.its realy make diffrent in second day ,my skin is now very radiant and less wrinkles. Well done .
Can I use any of these retinol products as an acne treatment? I have acne-prone oily skin
Honestly I wanted to use retinol in my routine because I have big pores and suffer from acne....But the retinols that are mintioned in this video (which I really want to try) seem to be made specifically for wrinkles. Based on your experience which one is best for acne and big pores? Please answer you're one of the few influenceres I trust I Need Your Helpp😢
Thank you for your magnificent videos, so exhaustive, so precise, so professional, so contrasted. thanks to your valuable information. I have improved my daily beauty routine. Thanks again for your work. I would like to know if you could make a video in relation to beauty therapies at home similar to those in beauty centers with devices that they use in Korea such as Skin booster such as medicube, I would like to know if they are really effective and if it is worth investing money in some one .Thanks
I remember growing up and saw news of heavy metals found in Etude makeups 😅
These things could never happen in utopian Japan right? edition.cnn.com/2013/07/24/world/asia/japan-skin-whitener-recall/index.html

Thank you so much for the video. Is it possible you discuss the different lines of the history of whoo please?
I already did.
@@OdileMonodTheMonodist You did? Are you referring to this video? Online there are more varied lines of the history of whoo like this line is for aging skin, this line is for young ladies, this line is for men... I dont speak korean and find it very hard to understand which ones are for who.

@@OdileMonodTheMonodist Thank you. Ill check it out.
Hi Please sister can you advise us for very dry mature anti-aging and hyper pigmented face best serums and all skincare pls thank you happy to have found you 🤗
Never thought I’d be so into skincare until I found your videos. You’re exceptional! -I believe on your website you say this has a fairly short shelf life, I haven’t used retinol before, I know to start slow but do you recommend the same with the isa Knox? Is this worth purchasing if the shelf life is short but I don’t want to use it every day as a new retinol user? Thanks so much.
Hi, I hope you continue making videos..
what about tretinoin in korea? retinoic acid? i was hoping this wasn't JUST about the least effective form of vitamin A..
I love and appreciate your videos, Odile!! Thank you. I’m very interested in the Enprani 8, but cannot find it. Any suggestions?
Hi Odile, Could you please make a video on APLB skincare? Their actives have seemingly too low concentrations (1000ppb) to be actually working. So I am confused, yet I see them often being advertised on platforms such as yes style.
It is very insightful. Thank you
I just found your channel . I really appreciate you take time and make videos with minute details
Absolutely the best informative video on K-beauty.
Thank you 😊
Does the Hera leave a white cast on darker/deeper skin tones?
1:30 A South Korean firm might have the been the first to stablilise retinol, but American doctor Albert Kligman was the inventor of Tretinoin aka Retin-A, the granddaddy of all retinoids. Without which, retinol wouldn't even exist! So stop misleading your audience, you're full of it. Btw, we can all see you're not a real Korean, just an uppity foreigner putting on a fake accent.
Hey can im already using a toner so can i use dr essence after that n also after dr g essence can i continue cosrx mucin
The options for water resistance sunscreens in k beauty is still very limited compared to j beauty or European sunscreen
Odile, I'm really enjoying your videos! Very interested in trying this brand as well, although I'm very partial to The History of Whoo and have been for several years. I have to ask, what is your opinion of Whoo's Wild Ginseng Facial Oil both as a product and in comparison to the DONGINBI Ginseng products?
Which 1 works for dark undereyes ? The red line? Since it can help with blood circulation issues, dark spots & redness from acne? Or is the light pink or dark purple 1 better 🤔 im younger then 40 & 50 but I would love to try this line
Odile, many thanks for your videos and info. I love your professionalism and the production of your videos. I've learned a lot..thanks!! I wonder if you may want to make a video about Medicube and the new Booster Pro device (6 in 1) and its collagen products.
I LOVED this! Your content is so informative and has such a high level of quality to it. It clearly deserves more views! Also, consider me influenced. I was looking for a new retinol and this just made my day 👌🏼
Thank you so much! 🙏
Que educada y seria sin tanto escándalo en sus videos coomo otros es agradable escucharla
Love love all your videos ❤
Thank you 🥰
Hi Odile. Can you review Mixsoon Ginseng essence?
I have binge watching all your videos for the past two days. Honestly u deserve millions of followers❤
Thank you so much 😍
Hi Odile, i ran into your Chanel and feel really grateful for it. I wanted to ask you if men can also use the History of Whoo Bichup Line, as well as Chogongjin Sosaeng Jin Boosting Essence and Cream. In Case the products are not suitable for men skin, is it possible that you can give your Feedback for the Gongjinhyang Nourishing Emulsion For Men, and the The history of whoo Cheongidan Kun Hwa Yang Line ? It would be highly appreciated ! Thank you alot !
Thank you! In general there's no real functional distinction between men skincare lines and other lines mainly marketed to women. Brands create skincare lines specifically for men because of different consumer preferences between men and women (men on average tend to use fewer products, they are not usually on keen on floral fragrances, they shave more frequently which leads to a demand for soothing skincare products and generally products that work well with facial hair etc. etc). On average men tend to have oiler skin than women because they naturally have more oil glands, so most men skincare lines are geared towards oily and combination skin, but that doesn’t mean that regular skincare likes for oily and combination skin wouldn't work on men even if the products are not specifically marketed to them. Men skincare lines are mainly a matter of product positioning. If you're a man with dry skin, you might enjoy skincare products marketed to women more! That being said, Whoo's Gongjinhyang Gun is one of my husband's favorite skincare lines. It's a soothing and purifying skincare line geared towards combination and oily skin, the Cheongidan Kun is described as more nourishing by the brand but I've never had the chance to try the products in person. I would say go for the Bichup and Sosaeng Jin lines if you have normal to dry skin, if you have combination or oily skin it's worth looking into Whoo's men skincare lines.
@@OdileMonodTheMonodist Thank you alot Odile for the super informative respond !
Wow what a lecture 👍❤️
Thank you so much can you put that on your body?
Your skin is amazing!!
I used serums all the time, but recently I noticed that almost all the serums I used were too heavy for my oily skin. I found out about essence-toners and I tried the one from Pyunkang Yul, which I love so far, but was afraid that it won't be as beneficial as a serum. I've read that products from this brand are high quality and use good ingredients, but I'm still kinda afraid to just use this instead of a serum, considering I just turned 30. Any advice?
So informative! Runs and share w travel group.
Even though this was only posted a month ago, it's almost impossible to find the Enprani Retino x8 Pro Extra Repair Solution. I looked on naver and it only pops up on sketchy sites. It's on Enprani's website but only as part of a set.
Which is really page
Hi! Thanks for this video. I'm trying to identify if I bought a fake in SK. Any way you could help please?
Hello Odile :3 I'm considering switching from many ginseng products to something 1 and very concentrated, what would you suggest in that case? should I even try it in your opinion? Few options if possible :3
Mmmm 🤔 llevo 8 años comprando k Beauty por que es más fácil conseguirlo pero gracias a este video comprare el japonés, tendré mi propia opinión.
Hi!! Can you talk about su:m37 sumalossec elixir ampule or elixir face cream? Why is so expensive? I Wanna buy it, but I dont know if is effective, I'm curious! Thanks❤
What is the source of the collagen used? Is it from animal, chemical or plant based?
As mentioned in the video it's a biodesigned collagen (meaning it's made in a lab), so it’s chemical. That doesn't rule out the possibility that other ingredients in the formula might be animal-derived, if that is a concern. The products are not explicitly marketed as vegan so I wouldn't recommend assuming they are.
J Beauty has been overall an underwhelming experience for me. It can’t touch K Beauty….ESPECIALLY since discovering History of Whoo last week at our local H Mart! Wow! I’ve never gotten quite the sensorial experience even from other more expensive luxury western skincare brands as I have from History of Whoo. At 56, I’m here for it! I bought the Cheongidan set (balancer, essence, emulsion, face, and eye cream). It makes my skin feel like velvet. I love K beauty in general and have been a convert to their toners/essences for 2 years now and I’ve enjoyed many brands. History of Whoo though is in a class by itself. Would love your specific History of Whoo recommendations for my 56yo menopausal skin? Also: one of my sets came with a small vial of ginseng oil I think? When should I use it in my routine? Love your channel!
Great video! Very informative and detailed, thank you for your work!! I love the insight you give in other aspects like the korean communities/social media too!
most of them contain parfum or essential oils. these are a no-go! not meeting my standards.
I'm not allergic to fragrance or essential oils, the products I use are not fragrance-free. If you are allergic to fragrance and essential oils, I'm sorry but there are PLENTY of channels on youtube that cater to "your standards".
@@OdileMonodTheMonodist i am not allergic either, but avoiding these ingredients are strongly to advice. But regardless this, this proves that that are no decent k beauty water resistant sunscreens. But there are enough European water resistant sunscreens that are ethanol, parfum and essential oils free.
@DimitriosKvs listen I'm severely lactose-intolerant and I don't go around campaigning for people to stop eating ice cream just because I can't. Just because you have been brainwashed to hate perfectly safe ingredients that actually enhance the product experience, doesn't mean everyone else should follow "your standards" and that "your standards" hold any value. My standards are products that are I enjoy using. Go bathe in your European sunscreens and leave me alone please.
@@OdileMonodTheMonodist i think that if one of us is brainwashed, is the one that is receiving money in his bank account to promote these ingredients. and this is you. your standards are getting paid... therefore are not trustworthy. like you....
@@OdileMonodTheMonodist because its perfectly safe for you, it does not mean its for everyone. I think between us, I am the one who is not getting paid to promote these products. This says something about objective standards.
I have a question instead of a comment. I’ve been using the Sulwhasoo ginseng line. I also use the First care serum. I want to incorporate Glactamyces and Centella to my routine. I was wondering where I should put them in my routine? Any help would be appreciated.
