I went from an easy, hurried, low-maintenance facial cleaning ritual to trying out the Asian 10 step skincare routine. Being raised in New York City has damaged and polluted my skin; I'm now repairing and focusing on anti-aging.
I want to buy and use products from a broad number of brands, I didn't just want to stick with one brand, I shopped around and compared all. I will try to write reviews each month, one which will be a list my skincare routine products, sharing my experiences on each product.

Live Tinted Hueguard 3-in-1 Mineral Sunscreen, Moisturizer, Primer SPF 30

I'm so surprised that not many people know about this mineral sunscreen. I purchased this product because I needed a mineral sunscreen because I'm pregnant and can't use chemical sunscreens which I always preferred. Secondly I needed something that will last the humid hot Taiwan weather while on vacation. I loved this lightweight sunscreen; not only was it effective, but it's a slight orange yellow tint that blends into any color skin. My mom loved it so much when I shared it to her that she never returned it back to me.

Biossance Squalane + Elderberry Nourishing Jelly Cleanser

 I hate it. I have never dislike a product so much that I wish I can throw it away and never have used it. The only good thing about it is that it's jelly texture is great for sensitive skin but I don't feel clean after. It has this weird filmy texture after you try to wash it away. I have to either use another cleanser to wash it off or use a toner wipe to remove it. Epic fail for this product for me. I don't think I want to repurchase anything from their brand except for the eye cream.

Shiseido Eudermine Activating Refillable Essence with Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C

 

I love this gel-like thick texture for the winter. It makes my skin look healthy and keeps it moisturized. It has a bit of fragance but my sensitive skin didn't have a problem. I will keep buying the refills for winter time usage after I'm done using this.

sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Cream

 I miss the smell of suwhasoo ginseng. The packaging was sealed with a gold foil. I love using this cream because it reminds me of the old packaging of the ginseng scent. It's absorb quick and keeps my skin hydrated during the wintertime. There are no dupes out for this moisturizer since I've first used this about 10 years ago.

Nacific Uyu Cream Toner

 This reminds me of the laneign cream toner. Uyu means milk in korean. It is soothing to my skin but the reason why I won't repurchase this because the liquid isn't easy to dispense out of the bottle. Otherwise I like using this during the wintertime.

Sulwhasoo White Ginseng Radiance Refining Mask

 I used this as instructed in the shower and it was luxurious feeling. I wouldn't re-purchased this because it's just a wash-off mask.

Pyunkang Yul Black Tea Boosting Serum

 Very luxurious and soothing feeling onto the face. Love it for the colder temperatures. This product isn't sticky and my skin absorbs it quick. My skin does look pump afterwards.
