PURITO Dermide Relief Barrier Moisturizer Review

This is a sponsored post with affiliate links. All opinions are my own and honest. PURITO recently came out with two brand new products - PURITO Dermide Relief Barrier Moisturizer and PURITO Dermide Balancing Barrier Balm. I reviewed the balm here, so today let’s talk about the moisturizer. It is available on Amazon, YesStyle (reward code KBHOBBIT), and Stylevana (code INF10KBH). PURITO Dermide Relief Barrier Moisturizer features five different types of ceramides at 5,000 ppm

PURITO Dermide Balancing Barrier Balm Review

This is a sponsored post with affiliate links. All opinions are my own and honest. I genuinely love PURITO and get very excited about new launches. PURITO Dermide Balancing Barrier Balm was an especially welcomed addition to my skincare routine because I didn’t have any robust moisturizers in my rotation at the time (only gel creams). The balm can be purchased on Amazon, YesStyle (reward code KBHOBBIT), and Stylevana (code INF10KBH). PURITO Dermide Balancing Barrier Balm is v

PURITO Hydrop Sweet Gel Mask Review

This is a sponsored post with affiliate links. All opinions are my own and honest. PURITO is an old favorite of mine - I still remember when they only had three serums in their lineup, with peel-off labels on the pump bottles. A lot has changed since then - the brand now has international celebrity status with a huge assortment of skincare. What hasn’t changed is my love for their effective formulas. PURITO recently released two new wash off masks. I already reviewed the clay

PURITO Bentolin Pore Clay Mask Review

This is a sponsored post with affiliate links. All opinions are my own and honest. A lot has changed in my life in the last five years, but one thing hasn’t - there’s always a PURITO product (or two or three!) on my bathroom sink. I used PURITO long before I had my own blog or before they were an internationally recognized brand. I still remember when they only had three serums in their lineup.

Purito Oat-In Calming Gel Cream Review

This post contains affiliate links. Product provided by the brand. I have combination skin and for about half of the year using a vitamin C serum and SPF in the morning is enough for me. However, now that it’s finally no longer summer, I like to introduce a light moisturizer before sunscreen to make sure my skin feels comfortably nourished all day and not dry or tight. I’m a long-time fan of Purito, so of course I had to try their new Purito Oat-In Calming Gel Cream. You can

Purito Daily Go-To Sunscreen Review

This post contains affiliate links. Product provided by the brand. Hooray, the highly anticipated new Purito sunscreen is here! And it passed the SPF testing (more about that in the My Impressions section). Purito Daily Go-To Sunscreen is a hybrid with chemical and physical filters and SPF50+ PA++++. It’s available on YesStyle (use reward code KBHOBBIT for savings), Stylevana (discount code INF10KBH), Amazon, and Jolse. This sunscreen has a light texture and is very easy to s

Purito Pure Vitamin C Serum Review (newest version)

This post contains affiliate links. Product provided by Purito. Purito and I go way back. So far back that I still remember them only offering 3 products which came in bottles with stick-on labels. The brand sure came a long way since then! They are using stick-on labels again now, but they are very very different. For a couple of years I was able to say I’ve tried every Purito product, but that’s no longer the case - their lineup has expanded beyond my reach. I still very mu

Purito Plainet Squalane Oil Review

This post contains affiliate links. Product provided by Purito I have combination skin, which means that some areas are oily, so I stayed away from any extra oils for years. Now I know that all oils are different, and some work quite well for my skin. Purito Plainet Squalane Oil is a one ingredient product (just 100% squalane). Their squalane is derived from sugarcane (cruelty free and vegan) and is lightweight and moisturizing. Squalane is naturally present in human skin (sh

Purito All Care Recovery Cica-Aid Patches Review

I probably shouldn’t complain about my skin - it generally behaves well. However, nobody is perfect, and I get occasional breakouts - whiteheads, painful hormonal zits, etc. For those occasions, I like to have pimple patches on hand. My current ones are Purito All Care Recovery Cica-Aid patches. They are sold on* Amazon, YesStyle (use the code KBHOBBIT for an extra discount), Stylevana, Jolse, and eBay. In addition to the beloved patch ingredient hydrocolloid, these contain c

Purito Cica Clearing BB Cream SPF38/ PA+++ Review

I’m not much of a makeup person, focusing instead on skincare (not that you can’t do both), but I do like to have good quality basics on hand. For me, that's mascara, powder, and a BB cream in case of an evening out, a youtube video, or to camouflage redness and breakouts. My first kbeauty bb cream love was Purito Snail Clearing BB Cream. It was one of the very first reviews on my blog - you can still read it here. Purito is constantly evolving as a brand, expanding and impro

Purito From Green Deep Foaming Cleanser Review

A second cleanser is a very important yet often underappreciated step of the Korean beauty routine (to learn about all of the steps, watch this video). A great foaming wash will effectively cleanse the skin without stripping it or causing irritation. One of my current favorites is Purito From Green Deep Foaming Cleanser. It was sent to me as a gift and is available for purchase on eBay, Amazon, YesStyle, Stylevana, and Jolse. Purito From Green Deep Foaming Cleanser is vegan,

Purito Centella Unscented Toner Review

This post contains affiliate links. A great toner is one of my favorite steps of a Korean beauty routine. It soothes and hydrates the skin, preparing it for the subsequent steps. Purito Centella Green Level Calming Toner is one of my favorite kbeauty toners (review here), and I’ve never had a bad reaction to it, but some people have issues with fragranced products. Purito listened to consumer feedback and released the Purito Centella Unscented Toner. It’s sold on eBay, Amazon

Purito Dermide Cica Barrier Sleeping Pack Review

I’m back with another Purito review (of course). I’ve been a fan of the brand since its infancy, and now the lineup is expanding and becoming more and more exciting. All of their products work so well for my combination skin (with the exception of their vitamin C serum, which I’m allergic to). One of the latest Purito developments is Purito Dermide Cica Barrier Sleeping Pack - a night mask that supports a healthy skin barrier. I’ve followed the whole product creation process

Purito Centella Unscented Serum

This post contains affiliate links One of the many reasons I love Korean beauty is how responsive brands are to consumer feedback. And that makes sense - Korean skincare market is so competitive that only the best, most attentive companies survive. Purito has been a constant resident of my bathroom shelves for years. The first time I purchased one of their products was back when they only had three to choose from. These days, the lineup has expanded, and Purito can be often s

Purito BHA Dead Skin Moisture Gel Review

Acids is a fun skincare topic. Some can’t live without them, while others avoid them out of fear. I do not use very strong acids that exfoliate down to the bone, but seasonally and thoughtfully choose mild ones. One can improve the look of pores and pigmentation with carefully selected products during the Fall and Winter, without causing “acid dependency”. If you are curious about the types of acids and their uses, check out this video. I’ve been a Purito fan for a long time.

Purito From Green Cleansing Oil Review

Right around July of this year I decided that my skincare stash was getting out of control and started to focus on truly enjoying and finishing what I have instead of constantly buying new things. Initially, I thought I wouldn’t be buying anything until September. Then I extended that to October. The only exception would be if I completely ran out of a specific product category and had nothing at all to use. Well, at some point I finished out all of my bottles of #cleansingoi

Purito Jeju Volcanic Scoria Konjac Sponge Review

Konjac sponges are wonderful skincare tools to have in your arsenal. I’ve written about them before in this article. Today I want to talk specifically about Purito Jeju Volcanic Scoria Konjac Sponge. Konjac sponges are made from Konnyaku potatoes that grow in Asia. They are naturally alkaline and can help balance the skin. This specific sponge also contains volcanic scoria to further control sebum. A dry konjac sponge is quite hard. It expands greatly with water, becoming muc

Update 3.21.21: As many of you already know, the Purito sunscreens tested below the SPF stated on the label. I decided not to take down my reviews of them, but in the spirit of full disclosure I am adding this update. The brand is currently working on new formulations, and I signed up to be an early tester. I tend to hoard two categories of Korean skincare - toners and sunscreens. I always have several bottles or tubes of them around the house. My long time favorite brand Pur

2018 Korean Beauty & Skincare Favorites

How is it already December? I still remember filing our 2017 taxes like it was yesterday. A “year in review” sort of analysis is common this time of the year, so I decided to tackle a nearly impossible task of compiling a list of my 2018 favorites - one in each category. This is simply my subjective opinion. Not all of these things may work for other people, but I certainly hope they do. Also, some of them were purchased for the first time prior to 2018, but if I consider som
