Best Korean Skincare Products Of The Year

[@sandra37cooks]

The yam root cleanser is pure gold! And I do really like the Haruharu Wonder mineral version of that sunscreen! Guess I might as well order the rest of this list, you are always right!

[@DrDrayzday]

such a lovely texture!

I also have it, it’s good, but a lil expensive for my German student self

[@sandra37cooks]

@@DrDrayzday yes! It's wonderful!

[@jasminesingh9444]

Haru haru sunscreen leaves a white cast on my skin which I can get past it but it leaves a powdery finish. When I initially apply it, it feels hydrating and very nice but then after a while I find my skin dry with powdery finish which I really don't like.

[@KarenAlexandrite-aka-PinkRose]

I would love a complete anti-aging regimen comprising only Korean/Japanese products. I'm already using Hado Labo Oil Cleanser and some Rovectin products, as well as Isntree and Skin 1004 sun screens, and I absolutely adore them! I'd like to include as many of the best ingredients to fight the signs of aging (such as retinol, urea, centella, or whatever are the best or most effective), but I find it kind of overwhelming.

[@danaso2567]

Me too, sister, I do not shoot for a k beuaty routine, I have products from different parts of the world, but it's a struggle getting all these actives in a routine and I definately have FOMO

[@foodiemotion1]

Suggest me some anti aging skincare products . I’m in Singapore now.. most of korean, Japanese, chinese products are available here. Pls suggest me some must buy products

[@DianaHenMD]

Dr. Dray I recently try a Korean sunscreen that is amazing. Innisfree tone up matte sunscreen. It is mineral and can leave a white cast but when applied well, it is just life changing. I am so sensitive I could not even tolerate Beauty of joseon or other chemicals sunscreens . This product makes the Pores disappear, the skin looks slightly lighter but not unnatural , it is flattering and although it does not have any coverage it has some kind of correcting effect. I almost do not need much makeup with this , I cannot explain how. It makes you look beautiful and flawless. The best part is that is matte but not powdery, you should give it a try. Hugs from a fellow MD ( neurologist) who follows you closely .

[@amandapaul9207]

There's not a product I use anymore that is not recommended by you from double cleansing using Abolene to Eucerin advanced therapy, Amlactin to Drmtlgy tinted sunscreen (best ever until I tried Skinceuticals tinted you recommended.) I no longer feel like I waste money with gimmick products and every single item you suggest is fantastic. I no longer feel overwhelmed but look forward to skincare. You take care of the exterior and Dr. Greger takes of the interior. Your input based on evidence based research is invaluable. Thank you for what you do! Happy New Year!

[@zubinpaul6543]

Love the eyeliner/shadow! So symmetrical and impeccably done! I love your Asian skincare videos!

[@sharonanderson3942]

I've been using the Isntree Yam Root Vegan Milk Toner on my 66 year old dry skin, and I really like it. I had been using their Green Tea Toner in my evening routine, which is also wonderful, but the Yam Root Vegan Milk formula is more hydrating. Thanks for the great information as always!

First, ummm.... does your subtle makeup look awesome! Those lashes are like " Hello"! And that soft wing is precious! Omg. You look absolutely stunning! I use the yam root cleanser and toner and they have worked wonders for my dry 52 yr old skin. Love them.

[@KristineWahl-ft9qj]

Always makes me happy to see a product I have on order mentioned as a favourite. The ampoule is on its way, even exciteder to try it now.

[@Kay2be2mr]

If you have very oily skin like me I recommend the organic version of the Haruharu Wonder sunscreen (the one with the yellow bottle) After all these years I never thought I'd finally find a sunscreen that worked for my oily skin AND that didn't disturb the formulation of my foundation, but this is it.

[@ItsAuliaAlyda]

Is it sting in your eyes?

[@Kay2be2mr]

@@ItsAuliaAlyda No, it doesn't.

[@bey5426]

I am oily + sensitive skin (rare lol) I would suggest Haruharu's eye cream, Anua's toner and benton's fragrance free green tea serum and toner. I wanted green tea line of Innisfree but they have fragrance. Laneige and belif products have fragrance too (most of them sadly) I wrote these for my skin type people if they look for safe products :)

[@StephanieGrealis]

I just ordered the Haruharu Wonder sunscreen a few days ago based off your sunscreen favorites video! I’ve used it for two days now and I love it! I have such issue with spf of all kind burning my skin, but this one is great so far! Thank you as always!

[@SinangeLka]

It is amazing as a primer, too❤

[@karinaruiz1163]

How do we know if we don’t tolerate niacinamide? I get bumps all over my face when I start using products I’m not sure if it’s just from starting new products or something else. I’m going to stick with a routine and see if they go away. But i normally just don’t do anything to my face except put castor oil on it at night. But now I’m turning 30 and need some preventative skin care

[@charlesd.1102]

Just look at the ingredient list of the products that didn't go well with your skin and see what are the common substances, then check the products that you really like and see which of those substances are in there or not. Through exclusion you will get to the things that is irritating to u, and it's usually the actives. I learned about my Niacinamide allergy in the early years of the Niacinamide trend so for me it was easy to know - i tested a handful of new products with Niacinamide being the main active from different brands and ALL of them inflammed my skin and flared my acne. Since then it became a habit of mine to look at the formula of every skin care product too see if there's niacinamide on it.

[@anabellel5701]

Thanks to you, I've been hooked on Korean skincare and my skin (and wallet!) couldn't be happier! I HIGHLY recommend the Numbuzin 3 Super Glow toner with over 50 fermented ingredients. I never used toner in the past, but the viscosity of this toner is like that of the snail mucin serum; it's an "experience" and the light fragrance is gorgeous--a MUST try!!! It's EXTREMELY hydrating!

[@missmoonstone6260]

That toner is amazing! I’ve worked for some extremely expensive high-end skincare lines and that product is better than 99% of the crap I used to sell.

[@monicaant.1422]

That's the only toner I use too! I love numbuzin #3 it leaves my face glowy and locks in everything 😊

[@laineydubie]

Yes, I love that toner and the Numbuzin 3 serum.

[@mashaliqbal1933]

I have a oily skin and normally I get blackheads.can I use this toner?

[@tzengi372]

I love the Skin1004 line. I've been using the Madagascar Centella Ampoule and Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF50 PA++++. Both feels like a water barrier on your skin after cleansing with Aprilskin Carrotene IPMP Hydromelt.

[@kristinekerr3688]

My normal to dry mature skin LOVES Isntree Yam Root Cleanser! I highly recommend it!

[@029318736]

Try “The History of Whoo” and “Sulwhasoo” they are ones of the top Korean skincare brands. They are pricey but I’m sure you will love their products!

[@caenkel]

my personal favourite mineral sunscreen find has been the Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Natural Cream SPF 50+ PA++++ (not to be confused with its identical chemical counterpart) - contains: zinc oxide & niacinamide - is SPF 50+ PA++++ - free of: alcohol, fragrance and essential oils - minimal white cast (fades away well) - wallet friendly (under 20USD for 50ml) tried the one in the video and found the isntree one to have even less white cast hope to hear your thoughts :) happy new year! 🎉

[@AshleyGreen3068]

I love Korean skincare, very effective. very expensive. I place a big order from Stylevana once or twice a year and honestly, does never take long to arrive. Never is been an issue. Thank you Dr. Dray for introducing us to Stylevana. Thank you for all your work and for sharing with us all the knowledge and educates us for a great healthy skin. My skin has never been better since I found you and plus you have helped to saved up $$$$. THANK YOU!🙏💖🙌💯

[@ChayaGK]

I'm one of those people who can't tolerate niacinamide. Or ceramides. CeraVe makes my skin red and irritated. I was using lubriderm on my face, but they just reformulated. I think I might try the rice milk lotion. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@silvana8737]

You're the best influencer! I have Rosacea and it is extremely hard for me to find products that I can tolerate. All your tips have been gold for me, like the Haruharu wonder mineral SPF. I will try the yam root cleanser next when I used up my soonjung whip cleanser. I mainly use this cleanser, the cosrx rice overnight mask and Weleda calming face cream, but not every night. Sometimes snail mucin. PC BHA twice a week and the medik8 weekest retinal for my eye area. Sunscreen everyday. I can keep my Rosacea type 2 totally at bay without any treatment cream. I do an IPL from time to time to battle the flushing.

[@lu_re7198]

Looking forward to seeing your video on Best of Japanese Skincare 2023.💕

[@fool4coffee]

Celimax Dual Barrier Creamy Toner is great. It's more like an essence and I love all the ceramides it contains. It is very gentle and moisturizing.

[@kaybarry5933]

I bought the ch6 shampoo and I really like it. My kinky hair doesn’t feel stripped. I did a scalp scrub then use the shampoo and my scalp felt good and hair was happy. I am into scalp health

[@notapplicable9970]

I recently started using the Skin 1004 Madagascar Centella hyalu-cica water-fit sun serum spf 50+ It goes on super light, feels very nice on my skin, and doesn't seem to irritate my eyes, which is a problem for me with most sunscreens, including some mineral ones. So far, very pleased with it. I'm also trying out the Goodal green tangerine vitamin c dark spot serum. It also feels good on the skin. Both products are Korean. 😊

[@MorganGleason-Fenton]

Thank you for posting. My eyes are also irritated by most sunscreens, including mineral ones that people recommend for sensitive eyes - so frustrating and expensive. And thank you, Dr. Dray, for all your work and your lovely posts. I so enjoy your authenticity and fun personality. Wishing everyone a healthy, happy 2024!

I use the Fresh Soy cleanser.. just because its around, gentle, and has glycerin. Literally no other reason. I oil cleanse 1st, and hardly massage w Fresh cleanser because I don't want to be dry after, lol its kind of pitiful. SO EXCITED TO TRY ISN TREE YAM CLEANSER! 🥰
