VEGREEN Fragrance-free Cica Serum Review

This is a sponsored review and contains affiliate links. All opinions are my own. Vegreen is a fairly new to me brand, but I was very impressed with their vegan mucin products - toner (review here), serum (review here) and cream (review here). The most recent addition to the Vegreen family is Vegreen Fragrance-free Cica Serum. It’s available on Amazon, eBay, and Oshen Skin (discount code KBHOBBIT10). Vegreen Fragrance-free Cica Serum is 70.7% centella asiatica leaf water plus

Missha Time Revolution Artemisia Treatment Essence Review

This post contains affiliate links. Product provided by Missha US. Missha is well known for their First Treatment Essences. I’ve had the classic version twice now (latest review here), and now trying Missha Time Revolution Artemisia Treatment Essence. This is a single-ingredient product made with double fermented Artemisia Annua Extract from Ganghwa Island. It’s advertised as a single ingredient product, but on the US sites you will see a breakdown of what goes into the extra

Dr Different Cica Metal Cream Review

This post contains affiliate links. Product provided by Sophie Beauty Box. Spoiler alert - this is one of my favorite moisturizers of all time. Dr Different Cica Metal Cream is made with soothing centella, madecassoside, and something referred to as “derma metals” - zinc and copper. It can be used by itself or in conjunction with retinal/retinol products such as Vita-A (review here) or Forte to minimize the drying effects of topical vitamin A. It’s best to use copper ingredie

This post contains affiliate links. Product provided by Sophie Beauty Box. It’s no secret I really enjoy Dr Different retinoid products - I’ve reviewed their Vita-A cream here and the eye & neck cream here. Today, I have another awesome product to talk about - Dr. Different VITAACNAL TX Night Cream. It’s available on Amazon (official brand store) and Olive Young. Dr. Different VITAACNAL TX Night Cream promises to control excess sebum, help with acne, and minimize the appearan

Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream Review

This post contains affiliate links. Product provided by Wishtrend. I think it’s safe to call Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream an iconic product. It’s been around for a few years and has quite a following. I was kind of late to the game, but I can see why it’s so popular. I like it so much that I included it in my Wishtrend Box - a custom collection of products I picked out just for my followers! It’s sold here and you can watch me talk about it here.

Thera Clear Acne Patch Review

This post contains affiliate links. Product provided by Credithink. I love trying new product types and brands, but there are certain things I always keep on hand. Pimple patches are one of those staples. I’ve tried various kinds - CosRx, Purito, By Wishtrend, etc. I’m currently using Thera Clear Acne Patches. Thera Clear patches have a beveled design (thicker middle, thinner sides) for less visibility once applied and are quite thin. They are made of hydrocolloid and absorb

Abib Heartleaf Spot Pad Calming Touch Review

This post contains affiliate links. I won this product. I have combination skin and keep my morning routine very minimal - a toner pad, vitamin C serum, and sunscreen. That’s it. So I’m always hunting down the latest and greatest pad options. I’m currently using Abib Heartleaf Spot Pad Calming Touch ones, available on YesStyle (save with reward code KBHOBBIT) and the official Amazon Abib store. I won these pads through Picky (highly recommend that app. Sign up here using invi

AXIS-Y New Skin Resolution Gel Mask Review

AXIS-Y is a newer but already dear to me brand of Korean skincare that uses high quality ingredients. What really stands out is the brand’s focus on the climate and its effects on the skin. Their 6+1+1 Advanced Formula skincare (611) was developed specifically for people with acne-prone, oily skin who live in a humid climate. 611 means 6 key / active ingredients, 1 core ingredient, and 1 patented technology. I’ve already reviewed AXIS-Y Mugwort Pore Clarifying Mask, Complete

AXIS-Y Artichoke Intensive Skin Barrier Ampoule Review

AXIS-Y is quickly becoming one of my favorite Korean skincare companies. What really stands out is the brand’s focus on the climate and its effects on the skin. Their 6+1+1 Advanced Formula skincare (611) was developed specifically for people with acne-prone, oily skin who live in a humid climate. 611 means 6 key / active ingredients, 1 core ingredient, and 1 patented technology.

AXIS-Y Mugwort Pore Clarifying Wash Off Pack Review

I think mugwort is the new centella asiatica - it’s an amazing ingredient, so it makes perfect sense that more and more brands are getting on board and adding it to their formulations. You can often find it in products designed for acne prone, irritated skin. AXIS-Y is a new to me brand of Korean skincare that uses high quality ingredients. What really stands out is the brand’s focus on the climate and its effects on the skin. Their 6+1+1 Advanced Formula skincare (611) was d

Cosrx Full Fit Propolis Light Ampoule Review

This post contains affiliate links. Product received as PR. 2020 has been a difficult year for many of us. Stress, combined with all the other factors like wearing a mask, means a lot more breakouts for my combination skin. I like to keep calming products on hand at all times to quickly heal any problem areas. I have now had the pleasure of using several bottles of CosRx Full Fit Propolis Light Ampoule. It was gifted to me but is available for purchase on* Amazon, Jolse, iHer

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

I’m From Mugwort Spot Gel Review

My skin has given me plenty of opportunities lately to test out acne products and spot treatments. The only explanation I can come up with is stress. This year has been challenging for me, and I am not referring to world events. One of the recent By Sophie beauty boxes focused on acne care and included I’m From Mugwort Spot Gel. You can watch the unboxing video here. The gel is available on* Wishtrend, YesStyle (use KBHOBBIT at checkout for extra savings), eBay, Amazon, and S

I’m From Mugwort Essence Review

Two things (among many) that I love about Korean beauty are innovation and brand competition. An incredible talent for discovering new techniques and formulations coupled with an intense rivalry for consumer dollars produce truly fantastic offerings. Somewhat recently, a new trend emerged - single ingredient products, more specifically essences. That’s right - an essence made with a single beneficial ingredient and no other additives. Cool, right? I think so. I finally got my

Lisse Derm AC Control Spot Review

I’ve been fairly blessed when it comes to skin, yet breakouts still happen. Pimple patches come to the rescue, but there are only so many in each package, and they aren’t the most convenient thing if a large area is affected. Lisse Derm AC Control Spot came to me in a By Sophie Beauty Box (a box sent out to selected influencers to introduce them to the latest kbeauty finds). Watch the unboxing of the latest one here.

Rovectin Conditioning Cleanser Review

One of my favorite things about Korean beauty is the constant innovation. Bored with hundreds (thousands?) of existing brands? No worries, new ones are popping up all the time. Rovectin is one of these new-to-me brands. It quickly got my attention solely based on the fact that Wishtrend carries it. So far, I haven’t met a product sold on Wishtrend that wasn’t amazing and high quality. My latest #rovectin acquisition is their Conditioning Cleanser. It’s sold on (you guessed it

This is the third and final review in my Rovectin Cica Care series. You can read about the toner here and the sheet masks here. Out of all of the Rovectin Cica Care products that I got to try, the Rovectin Cica Care Balm is my absolute favorite. And yes, I saved it for last. It’s sold on* Wishtrend, eBay, Amazon, YesStyle (use reward code KBHOBBIT for extra savings) , and Jolse. Rovectin Cica Care Balm is made without ethanol, artificial colors and fragrances.
