5 Best Korean Lip Products Americans Dont Know About

[@DCSquirrel]

Just an FYI for everyone: Liplief is by brand HOLIKA HOLIKA.

[@jojojojo438]

I use Holika Holika black snail emulsion and I love it ❤

[@norakingaforgacs7767]

I am into Holika Holika waterproof sun gel (spd50, pa++++❤.

[@20thcenturyrelic]

And please note that Cassandra incorrectly said it's fragrance free. It contains lavender oil and sandalwood oil, so it's not. In fact, these are very irritating ingredients, so this really isn't a good product.

[@hausinnermagic]

@@20thcenturyrelic Actually she mentions that it contains tea tree, lavender and jojoba . Maybe many people don't consider them fregrent since they are essential oils ?

[@20thcenturyrelic]

@@hausinnermagic Maybe people don't, but they are fragrance!

[@rohlehr]

Cassandra looks in good spirits. We love that for her 💜

[@thebest-pd6y]

Of course we do?!

[@brunette3cookie]

Angular cheilitis is yeast so Vaseline won't treat it. Macrobid is overkill but an rx cream or otc anti-fungal is what actually works. I worked in dermatology and the board certified doctor told me this.

[@ZSEROO]

Omg yes, the Tocobo Lip Mask is sooo good! The only one that actually works for me.

[@logophilelyss4390]

Cass, if you want to have a little Korean reading study sesh, I'd be so down! I'm not a native speaker, but my professor was shocked that I hadn't actually studied in Korea before, and I've spent a lot of time learning how to read Hangeul properly! I'm pretty sure learning Korean is one of my special interests

[@anxiety4daysmusingmedic891]

I'm a member of the dry and bleeding lip club,this was so helpful! Thanks! Xoxox

[@20thcenturyrelic]

All of these products except the Mixsoon Vegan Melting Lip Balm, and possibly the Torriden SOLID In Ceramide Lip Essence, contain fragrance or flavor. Fragrance and flavor are really bad on dry, bleeding lips. If you're going to try one of them, go with the Mixsoon. Plain petroleum jelly also works well. And Aquaphor, if you're not allergic to lanolin, and you're not looking for a vegan product.(Lanolin comes from wool.) I'm very disappointed with Cassandra for recommending these products, and in one case, for stating the product is fragrance free when it isn't.

[@kristinj6298]

check your facewash and toothpaste for SLS. Once I eliminated that, it really helped my lips not peel daily!

[@trishjustrish7679]

COSRX Lip Sleep Balancium - ceremide lip butter sleeping mask. So good. I use it all day. it's the pink one.

[@KhaeLikesCoffee]

I love COSRX. Their acne products actually cleared my cystic acne without drying my skin out. I'm willing to try any of their products now.

[@olgashevchenko4842]

I really like Cicaplast lip balm by La Roche Posay. It is very moisturizing and repairing because it contains Panthenol (vit B5). I also like to apply retinol serum on my lips. They become super smooth the next morning. And mineral sunscreen lip balm Spf 30 from Sun bum.

[@minneul77]

Honorable mention should be the Etude/Aritaum Ginger Sugar Overnight Lip Mask, thicker than vaseline or aquaphor 🧡

[@Lehanorah1918]

Yes! Love,love this stuff 💕 . Complete accident...I was just looking for one little thing to add to my order to bump me into free shipping to the UK,from Yesstyle 😊 I've since bought their essential lip balm,too,which is equally fab .

[@love.hw4ng]

I literally have it on right now 😭

[@sarahaverill7133]

I use the Torriden. I really like it!

[@Sereenpower]

I didn't even realize that this was a new video, but when I saw you were ranking Korean lip products I had to instantly watch! I've been on the hunt for a product I can actually get for a while now and I instantly ordered the Torriden lip product before you even finished talking about it after I found the most affordable listing in my country!

[@stantubatunow]

i just bought the tocobo lip mask because of this vid!! Love how this smells❤

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

You introduced me to the Torriden Lip Essence in a previous video, and now that’s all I carry with me. It’s so great!

[@khrys3326]

Same here. I used so many lip products and nothing worked for me personally. But the Torriden Lip Essence is an absolut banger.

[@rhileynnna]

I’m dying to try it!!

[@MissKrisLoves]

It’s the best!!!!! Now I just need one like it with spf lol

[@김주한-l6c]

I gotta say sth to ur opinion that not many Koreans use Laneige. This is not true. A lot of us use Laneige skincare and lip products and the brand keep releasing new products quite often for the past 2-3 years. They also renew their existing products for better texture. It is true that Laneige is trying to expand their market size in the U.S, but b4 that it is a popular skincare brand for 20’s and 30’s in Korea❤

[@kbykell]

YES... laneige used to be the forefront "serious" skincare back in 2008, 2010 that didnt have the traditional hanbang ingredients nor the naturalistic skincare from innisfree and skinfood, or the cutesy fun lines from lioele, holika holika, tony moly and etude house. They were basic serious, skincare scientific ingredients focused brand and extremelly popular with many ground breaking novelties.

[@corinakoster3432]

Frudia’s lip products are awesome! They hydrate my lips so well 😍

[@PearlDeFloreOfficial]

It looks so good! I'd be delighted to try it out! 😍👌

[@aeroscorpian]

Yep, the Torriden one has been my favorite for the last six months or so. 💜

[@johanne2812]

Please do a video on korean hair care! 😍

[@kristinekerr3688]

The Torriden lip essence is a holy grail product for me. At night try applying a little castor oil 1st and then the Torriden. This has transformed my dry peeling lips this winter💋

[@aayushijoshi5203]

Wishlisted all of these!! Thanks for this video, Cass! Also, I swear by squalane oil for my lips, though not marketed as a lip product, it works great even during winters!

[@illusion513]

My favourite lip product for winter is the COSRX lipplump, AHA BHA Vitamin C lip plumper. Yes it burns a little, no it doesn't really plump. But it is so inexpensive, and it works SO GOOD. I have gone through 4 pots.

[@Moon_Sh0t_X1]

If you didn't know, laneige is a korean brand itself. And the liplief lip gel is actually from a brand called holika holika.

[@graceng3871]

Hi Cassandra, Somebymi has a SPF 15 lip sun protector. It’s value for money and moisturizing too. 😊

[@sharotej]

Thank you so much! I've been compulsively buying American lip balms, hoping I will like the next one, but I never do. Now I will try these K balms!

[@lara_Penzel]

If you can’t (or don’t want to) get korean products in your country: here are my favourit products: With spf: -COLIBRI SKINCARE Lip Balm, spf 50 - COOLA spf 30: they even come in colors hydration: -Avène cicalfate, repair lip balm - Biossance squarene and rose vegan lip balm I totally get that Korean skincare is amazing but unfortunately getting products on websites like yessty/ svetlana can be really bad for our environment. Hundreds of planes are flying everyday solely for those kind of brands to ship sigle products it a person😢 As an environmentally conscious person I can’t support that😢

[@missyj3310]

GOT EM ALL TO TRY!! I’ve been looking for new lip care and this came at just the right time!

[@charitysmidutz498]

Frudia's grape lip essence is great. It goes on clear and turns pink once oxidized. It will stain your lips so the color sticks around even once it's gone.

[@lywc82185]

Great video! Love the Frudia Grape lip balm, smells delicious and very moisturising but it also goes a slight pink colour on lip which is very flattering! I've ordered the mango to try! ❤❤❤

[@marcojacinto824]

Have you tried the Re: Proust Frudia lip butters?? Omg! The scents are not fruity but very clean and fresh. If you don't want to smell like a mango or a blueberry but still want something scented that is fun to use, and effective, try those out.

[@TiaVaylik]

Remedy for dry lips created by Dr. Muneeb Shah. AMAZING!!!!

[@theminimalistninja]

You mentioned the Torriden one a few months (?) ago. I ordered it on a whim with my first ever Stylevana order and I love it sooo much! I use it every night before bed time and it makes my lips so soft! It's perfect! Will definitely repurchase it :) A little also goes a long way!

[@2009ashmi]

Hi Cassandra. Came across this video and I'm so glad I did cos your girl has some dry lips and I've tried about everything. ordered to tocobo lip mask and the torriden lip balm. Looking forward to using these and thx so much for your advice! Hugs! ❤❤

[@mckenziesmith1234]

cassandra! you should try the innisfree canola honey lip balm, it is THE BEST

[@MelindaJames-yq9xl]

Rhoto Mentholatum has some spf lip products, namely the Melty Cream Lip Balm SPF 26 PA +++. It’s on stylevana for just over $5. I would love to see you try and give your thoughts.

[@ShaunieMcNeil]

Absolutely love the Torriden Solid In Lip Essence. I'm on my 2nd tube. I have to confess though. I do love me some Laneige Apple Lime Lip Sleeping mask, I'm pretty sure it's the smell. I'm obsessed with it but yeah, Torriden Solid In Lip Essence is ELITE

[@rocketmansdaughter5613]

Two things I found recently...the lip serum by D'Alba (in a stick) and lip collagen from Somaluxe. Both on Amazon. I carry the lip serum in my purse and the lip collagen sits on my nightstand. Both are SO hydrating. I put the Somaluxe on at night and can still feel it on my lips in the morning, but not in that Vaseline way. Just beautiful hydration.

[@arcybarrios]

Cass, could you take a deep dive into J-beauty lip care products (well, J-Beauty everything really)? Phenomenal! K and J beauty products have been my go to for well over a decade and haven't looked back.. Very few western products can compare

[@mx-wg5nn]

The lip mask by innisfree comes in green tea and honey and it worked like magic for me. I felt like I got baby soft lips from it the next morning. I tried tocobo lip mask and i liked it…but surprisingly not as much as aquaphor. Not very sexy but makes my lips just melty and silky. I was shook bc I expected it to feel like vaseline, but it was way better. I just felt like the tocobo sat on my lips and held onto my moisture, but just didn’t bring in anymore.

[@TheTesha328]

Rohto Mentholatum - Water Lip Balm SPF 20 PA++ (I use unscented one)

[@momo7989]

I love your channel but i really want you to work with Asian (kbeauty and jbeauty ) channels when speaking on these subjects. I also think you should work with Black skincare/hair channels too, because statements like Americans never put thought into scalp care is just plain wrong especially in our community. I noticed sometimes you have other blindspots when speaking on skincare that doesn't help more Black and darker WoC.

[@katarinakaru1560]

I' ve reordered isoi Balm couple of times and will again! I love that it gives my lips some colour because I hate lipsticks but would like sime colour in my face

[@CarmenFreeman-f2i]

I have tried all but lipleaf. Torriden was my favorite, I am sure I have good through 100 of these. Olive young usually has them 2 in a pack for price of 1. My recent favorite is topicals lip salve and remedy lip product is new that I am loving

[@Anxietyfuelledprincess]

I think the panteno mediheal sleep mask is the best product I’ve tried

[@Kalidreamine]

I agree with you on the mixsoon bean essence lol. I don’t think it exfoliates either 😂 Anyway I love the product. It’s so hydrating and my skin is oily/combo sensitive btw. I am allergic to snails (imagine how sad I was when I tried the trending snail products) so I was looking for something else I could use with a similar effect. I love how mild it is. Also that last picture LOL

[@kbykell]

When i went to korea back in 2017 i had a whole try out buffet of lip essences, shampoos, hand creams and body creams. Everything was amazing even their limited edition stuff ❤

[@almighteykitty]

My fav thing I've learned on TT is to help hydrate your lips ... when doing your nighttime routine, apply your products to your lips too. Instead of the moisturizer, apply a lip mask. My lips have never been sooo hydrated.

[@BrittanyElenaRemo]

Can you do a video of lip balms with spf?

[@pepsix80]

Frudia hasa a lot of ddifferent fruitflawered lip balms, I have a grape flawered one and its so good. For the dry and cracked lips I recommend a Holika Holika Good Cera lip balm, its ceramide based thicker balm but petrolatum free.

[@eunicehulda]

Thank you for sharing this. I'm completely in love with the Holika Holika Good Cera Super Ceramide Cream. It's the best moisturiser I've ever tried. The texture is perfection, definitely not light but also not too thick. And now I'm convinced I should also try the lip balm. 😊

[@WinterLover29]

I just sent an email to your website asking if you could do a video on lip products! I'm not sure if my question contributed to this or not, but either way thank you!

[@_Miss.Kitty.Cat_]

I'd love a video about lip spf, struggling to find any good ones... 😢

[@marce_mscr4510]

I like the Malin Goetz one. It’s a mineral broad s. 30 spf. Don’t apply too much and it’ll make you lips so glossy and moisturized. The sun-protection feels long lasting too. The only dislike i dislike is the menthol fragrance (Amazon claimed it was unscented 😐 but it was incorrect info. About the product)

[@KhaeLikesCoffee]

I've been using Innisfree lip products for a while. I love the tinted balms. You mentioned hair and scalp care- have you done a video on that? I only recently discovered your channel, sorry if i missed it lol.

[@diane.loves.you.]

LOVE YOU CASSANDRA!

[@StayfunnyLG]

This is the video I didn't think I needed. OK, I lied. I'm obsessed with lip product since I'm always eating at them and they're always a dry and bleeding mess. I use normal skin care on them just to hydrate them, and it's my current goto, plus a little lip oil when I can find one that is not flavoured. I really need to find all those korean products now.

[@clauddiamartinez9411]

Ma:nyo treatment lip serum, is THE BEST!

[@christinamp]

ive tried many lip care, the best were neutrogena lip balm, caudelie lip balm, the korean A'pieu Honey & Milk Lip oil it was good it helped my lips even though it was thick and little bit of sticky. Rem beauty the lip oil was okay but not so good. Recently i bought the essence hydra kiss, it is so GOOD it makes my lips sooo good and it remind me the fenty plumpling gloss heat in the color. The lip jam from catrice is good and cheap not exactly lip gloss nor balm but it okay. essence lip coconut was really good too.Wanna try the Mediheal Labocare Pantenolips Healessence Coral , its korean and the price is okay. Also, the ola henrikson lip treatment. I also tried the dr paw paw lip something, did not like the way it sat on my lips nor the color. Barry M lip rehab was good too

[@stevenquach9442]

1:43 they actually do. They have the squlane plus amino acids lip balm.

[@veronicatesoto]

I have been using and loving CARE:NEL - Berry Lip Night Mask

[@phantomthread4385]

Nobody talks about DHC lip creme which I ordered from yesstyle as a whim. It worked on my cracked lips in 1 use. I still can't believe it. I am using it for the last 8 months and my lips have never been dry. I am 54 and had dry lips forever. This and the the heavier ones are the best ones ever!

[@SapirAlon-p1e]

which one do you use?

[@nina_is_preppy21]

I love u Cass!!!❤

[@Kristine_202]

I just discovered Panteno Lips and I'm a big fan. I'm not sure if it's CF, so you would have to check, but I've been using it for a few days now and I've already seen an improvement. As an American, it's weird to find a lip product that actually works. LOL

[@Kalidreamine]

This came at the right time cuz recently I’ve entered this phase of lips literally never staying hydrated by any product I use; sadge 😅

[@tn7239]

Goodlight came out a new product called Taste of Space Lip Milk. It is like a toner for your lips! I would love to hear your thoughts on this product 😊

[@kristiet.9315]

The product you mentioned was $3 is $9 at Amazon. What a markup! (:

[@kim.young.]

in Korea, the top 3 lip mask products are: etude x aritaum ginger sugar lip mask, laneige lip mask, tocobo lip mask (according to the review the lemon is better than the pink). I love laneige and just ordered tocobo yesterday. probably will get etude gingert sugar too next week but ugh I still have 3 jars of laneige at home T_T

[@gabrielafonseca4034]

I've been loving colored lip balms instead of lipstick because I'm kind of over makeup as a recovering boss girl. I use the Labello ones, because I don't have particular lip issues.

[@anntann2]

I hope this ends my search 😊 just ordered Tocobo & Torriden! Yeahhhh

[@momo7989]

Just FYI the first brand is holika holika.. And Laneige is a very popular kbeauty brand. One of the reasons kbeauty became popular here is because that brand (among others) started being carried in stores like Bloomingdale's and Sephora.

[@DanielleBabyBliss]

Girl you should review the Korean brand onodo. I am trying their caffein eye masks and they seem potent for the eye bag problem. They have quite a interesting range. Would love to hear your thoughts. It’s also nice to have an eye bag serum or patch with caffein and no hylaronic acid. I tend to get more puffy when using hylaronic acid on under eyes. Anyone else experienced this? It seems impossible to find a eye cream or anything without it. Especially the patches always have it. Not onodos!

[@hollyp3276]

Hi Cassandra, uugggg why do they put tree tea in so many products. I'm allergic to Tree tea and was excited about it. Then you said the ingredients. It's so frustrating screaming 😱 😫 at why they put certain ingredients into products. Do they make one thst is tree tea free? I've learned so much from you about ingredients. I at first read labels and list due to my allergies to certain food ingredients. Thanks to you and a few others I read ingredients on everything now. Have a great day.

[@afrenchyinlondon]

Erm, Tocobo is more expensive than Laneige on Amazon (may I add, both genuine products), and having tried both, I much prefer the Laneige lip mask.

[@AnnMarks]

Thank you, just ordered some of them

[@Sharon-f7n]

I do red light therapy.

[@yeybrittany]

Torriden lip essence fixed mine and my son's lips this past year

[@andreagreiff2558]

I am looking for a lip product for my son and my dad so delighted to see your comment. I’ve been keeping them both stocked with Laneige- nice for guys because it’s not shiny - is the Torriden matte enough for daytime for the men in our lives?

[@MandyKat416]

@CassandraBankson why not collab with Isntree on a GOOD SPF lip balm? I love you and I just know you would come up with something good if it can be done.

[@nikkiyanorton1893]

I got a lip balm with ceramides it is called Topical slick salve and I really like it

[@henryivan6858]

Cassandra, I got your purple onion Sunscreen and I love it! And it's so much fun! 🟣

[@addisonmanion9670]

I am very strict about just using only my lip SPF during the day. My tried and true in the OKeeffes Lip Repair Lip Protectant Sunscreen, SPF 35. Not fancy, but it's cheap and it doesn't taste like sunscreen :)

[@tazchillin]

Straight up Kirkland toilet paper at Costco is the best for me so far. Soft enough and does not shed.

[@Creating.Dalila]

Can you do a Korean lip SPF video? I can’t find a decent lip spf. The mineral ones are like sand on the lips, drying. The chemical ones taste awful!

[@kookiesmall-dibben6077]

We use who gives a crap bamboo toilet paper! We love it!

[@15Abay]

Just found out I have celiac disease could you make a video or short about gluten free skin care / cosmetics!! Thank you!! ❤ love your videos 😊

[@christinedeets7070]

Hi! I would love suggestions on what to use on lip lines around the mouth…. K Beauty/ J Beauty is what I would like to try.

[@mariahfranklin7274]

Can you do a k beauty cruelty free haircare video?

[@JelenaP991]

I have so many Korean lip products! They are soooo good. Good alternative for Laneige is Klavuu, but I'm not sure if they are vegan

[@agneseclaisse88]

Love your content but I can rarely find these products in Europe

[@brightiris]

That torriden would probably look good as lip gloss.

[@molanglee6951]

Would love for you to try the tirtir lip oil ^^ I like how wide the applicator is

can you try catiss , it’s japanese, or in general more japanese brands

[@lilairi1]

Hello, I live in the United States and I can't traveled to Korea. Where can I find these products?

[@FakeBrii]

Do you have any recommendations of SPF lip balms, preferably korean?

[@melon_jelly3960]

bippy has a bamboo toilet paper and its amazing!!!!!

[@emmabell7517]

Holika Holika Good Cera Super Ceramide Lip Oil Stick It amazing, used to be on stylevana but I can't find it anywhere now 😢

[@kbykell]

Tocobo is not a korean version of laneige because laneige is already korean 😂 Laneige was a mid to low end brand in korea. With their basic line costing around 18 to 24 dollars per product. It was amore pacific main brand for young adults. Its way more korean than you think. They had viral products but actually they didnt target america.. at first they were made to rival shiseido's mid~low end lines.. like shiseido aqualabel, white lucent line, senka lines. And because those lines from laneige got popular for their chic pckage and skincare concept it got viral. Their water bank line, white plus line, laneige skin refiner and sleeping mask. It was all new concept and ground breaking back in 2008.. later they came in with cushion makeup and their lip mask. Laneige is a true korean brand but focused more on a less traditional or less naturalistic skincare.

[@yohdhf]

cassandra please try inde wild lip balm

[@laura.zer0]

I bought one of those Torriden balms awhile back and it smelled strongly of mold after a few weeks! I was so sad because it was absolutely perfect aside from that, haha.

[@Waitingdaysandweeks]

But shouldn't spf be a priority?

[@HappyExtheist]

I look Tocobo lip balm!

[@marcibigney9212]

You look lovely! 😍
