Dehydrated Skin? These are the Best K-Beauty Products You Need to Try!

[@marithecookie]

I love that you said well aging. I hate all that "anti aging" shit, aging is fine, it's just nice to age well and feel pretty and happy in the process

[@Barbara-dn7ko]

Would love to see a similar series featuring J-beauty. Japanese skin care sadly gets overshadowed by K-beauty, but there are some top notch J-beauty products on the market. I stocked my suitcase full of J-beauty on my last trip to Japan. Westerners need to know about how great J-beauty is!

[@gigiaqua6795]

What products would you recommend?

[@tiffanyamoah3048]

Maybe because they don't sell their products much abroad, that's why they are in the shadow of k beauty. It is sometimes very difficult to find j beauty products.

[@So0so0100]

Please recommend us @barbara

[@Tttt28882]

“Westerners need to know”… Bae, here in Brazil Korean products don’t even sell on physical shops (you can probably find in rly specific Asian shops)! We mostly buy skincare on pharmacies, and most of them usually have only brands from Brazil, Japan, France, USA and Germany! It’s been like this since I can remember… Bioré and Hada Labo are really popular in here among skincare consumers who don’t even know a lot about Asian products! 😂

The purito sleeping pack has saved my winter skin. I bought it thanks to your recommendation! Just did a big k-beauty hall. Can’t wait to get all my new products!

my oily, acne prone skin has lately been loving Tiam Vita B5, Purito Dermide Moisturiser & Stratia Fortify👌🏾 I can actually feel a difference in the strength and moisture retention in my skin. Thank you Kelly!!

[@briellesilver9427]

How was your experience with the Purito Dermide Moisturizer? I'm super oily and acne prone, have a few breakouts currently, and using Epiduo Forte. I'm looking for a good nighttime moisturizer. Would love to hear your experience!

[@coriquackenbush7874]

Excellent Video!!! Dehydration hit me hard this Winter season. Painful and breaking out. Thank you. Kelly, would you ever think of doing a video for mature skin? I am 62 and my skin goes through some wonky stuff.

[@kristinekerr3688]

@ 7:26 😮😮 No!! I am totally not bored! I’m learning so much from you. I’m a new sub. Loving your content because it’s exactly what I needed😊 I need to hear you say this stuff over and over again for it to stick😂 I’m waiting on an order from Stylevana as we speak. It’s been weeks. I wonder how long it takes stuff to get from Hong Kong to US?😂 FYI: I have mature skin that is normal to dry. I like the way you give us a lot of facts about the products❤

[@KellyDriscoll]

I'm so glad you're enjoying my content! Thanks for the sub! Stylevana can take anywhere between 2-4 weeks, depending on the shipping method (USPS is closer to 4 weeks, Fedex is the quickest but most expensive).

I have Oily Dehydrated skin.. I love the Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Soothing Gel. It is so hydrating but still so lightweight! I always wake up with very plump and glowy skin.. 😊 It has ceramide, fatty acids, squalane, glycerin and betaine.. 😊

[@RPBSpeaks]

Since I started using Cerave Moisturizing Cream, my skin stays hydrated and I believe my serums and treatments are more effective 🎉 I began to focus on skin health incorporating Secret Key Essence and Isntree Bifida Ampoule along with Cerave Lotion, Moisturizing Cream & Skin Renewing Night Cream. These additions have really boosted my skincare routine and I’m seeing great results.

[@niahelmee6890]

Your recommendations has always been so so great, Kelly! I already have my favourite combo for my oily dehydrated skin (The Lab Blanc Doux Oligo Hyaluronic Acid 5000Da Toner & Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Cream) but these products look incredible and i could recommend them to friends and family.

[@sreejitadutta7432]

I recently tried the mediheal baobab soothing serum, it is so wonderful and frankly underrated

[@KellyDriscoll]

Agreed, more people should know about it!

[@NatalieG427]

I’ll be 60 this Summer. I love Pyungkang Yul, as does Dermatologist, Dr Dray. I also love 9 Wishes. If you want a moisturizer that is really effective even though it Isn’t a K brand, it’s Neutrogena Hydro Boost Body Gel Cream- Fragrance Free. According to Dr Dray, you can actually use that on your face, especially at night If you want. I use this at night right after my 9 Wishes Hydra Ampule Toner, which is viscus & very hydrating. In Winter I’ve been cleansing with Aveeno Calm & Restore Oat Cleanser. For an Occlusive Cream, Neutrogena makes a good one in a jar, but choose the fragrance free one, because anything with fragrance can cause an allergic reaction.

[@lorainemcgillivray77]

Hi Kelly perhaps you could cover atopic skin eg eczema, severe dryness etc. Although I love K beauty for all the hydrating toners, essences and serums I find my severely dry, rosacea and eczema prone dry skin usually needs a really rich cream and those are easier to find in Western brands (current favourite is the Paula's choice ultra rich moisturiser). Best wishes.

[@jenniferschmitt8996]

I've been loving the Vegreen phytomucin toner and cream, holy grail status. I lean towards dry acne prone skin. Got the vegreen idea from you.💞

[@lauriebrown9714]

This is such an informative video. I am not new to skincare at 67 but I looked into the mirror on my birthday and realised I need to get serious. So I added a few things including a miso red light and thought I was going backwards! What I have concluded is I am dehydrated and the last thing I wanted to hear is I need to drink more water. I knew I needed topicals and this is exactly what I needed to hear. I’m going back to basics and only going to do Korean skin care with my mito till I get myself righted. Thank you so much for all your knowledge and great content.

[@tojin]

I actually feel like J-beauty has more hydrating toners than K-beauty, but their brands don't focus on international market as much so often overlooked.

[@marieghost4653]

If you have any to recommend I’m open to suggestions! I have been looking for a no nonsense toner that hydrates and doesn’t have fragrance. I haven’t had extreme success with Korean toners…. They are better than western toners but still.:(

[@tojin]

@@marieghost4653 Curel's deep moist spray, Hada Labo gokujun premium hydrating lotion, SANA soy milk moisture toner are some nice, hydrating toners from J-beauty.

[@Storm411z]

I’ve recently discovered that Azelaic acid has been THE KEY ingredient for solving my dehydration and skin barrier issues. I’m not acne-prone, but I am congestion-prone (i.e. sebaceous filaments, blackheads) and PIH is an issue for me. When I have a good Azelaic acid in my routine, my skin feels so soft, like even after I wash it, it feels as though I still have moisturizer on. I am absolutely floored by what this single ingredient has done for healing my skin, as I’ve been into skincare/k-beauty for ~7 years. Peach slices, Paula’s Choice, Drunk Elephant have all given me great results, though peach slices is my current choice for ethical reasons. I didn’t get the same results with k-beauty alternatives in Cos de Baha and Nineless as I suspect they use derivatives of AA as they’re clear serums.

Can u share some name and how to use in which step? I have extremely dry and dehydrated skin.

My hydrating regimen is Inkkey hyaloronic (its has a thicker viscosity), ordinary niacinamide, Timeless coenzyme(LOOVES this stuff. Its hydrating and a great antioxidant that helps with dark spots and uneven skin), Purito unscented centella serum (very hydrating. Penetrates deep into the skin. It starts the barrier care), Cosrx snail mucin ( It really seals the skin), Purito cica moisturizer (great barrier care), then Purito cica sunscreen. THis is my morning routine. This is the first time that my winter skin did not go through dehydration. Its glowing My skin loooooves the ingredient centella. Hence the amount of Purito centella containing products I use (centella serum, centella moisturizer, and Cica sunscreen PS: I had to greatly reduce my exfoliating products to get my skin back to it norm. I exfoliate once a week with SRB enzyme scrub.

[@xicalisboa]

I want so much Roundlab to be my perfect pick! No niacinamide/ HA, light exfoliation, huge hydration al I need, BUT in doubt due to seaweed extract which show to be highly comedogenic for some… anyone prone to clogged pores/ acne who tried and can say it didn’t or did clog pores?

[@RamiVeri]

My skin is very dehydrated, dry, and feels reactive to everything. I purchased Dokdo toner to give it a try, and for me, it doesn't feel hydrating enough. After Dokdo, I tried using Vegan Cambucha tea essence, and it feels like it's making my skin feel more dry and irritated. Every time I apply it , it stings a little. I laso tried to apply Pyunkang yul essence toner right after 5 layers of dokdo toner, and it also makes my skin feel more dehydrated than without applying this essence. After essences, I tried applying Numbuzin no 3 serum, and it's also makes me feel skin dry, tight, and uncomfortable. I am pretty lost because nothing works, and everything is just irritating my skin. I the past I have tried Missha Artemisia first essence, then applied Cosrx Full fit propolis toner and several layers of Laneige cream skin refiner, then used Mary&May centella serum and thar helped my skin, but it still always somewhat felt a little bit tight underneath. This time, I thought I will try different products, and it all just turned out worse 😢

[@chai_lattes]

Watching this while trying to recover from damage caused by hyaluronic acid. Pls pls pls stay away from that ingredient if you have dry dehydrated skin. It will suck out all of the moisture from your skin even if you seal it in with an occlusive. You will be as scaly as an iguana and as dry as the sahara😩 Will have to look into these products more. I feel so frustrated and paranoid now. I try to be careful and do my research, but I think the rise of "trendy skincare" has made it more challenging to shop responsibly. Everyone pushes certain ingredients without including negative side effects. Basic skincare is exhausting at this point. I just want my skin to be healthy😭😭😭

[@BIIANCARH]

[@sballantine8127]

The "secret" is finally out. Hyaluronic acid is NOT good for your skin. Dermatologists are finally talking about how It trains your skin to cut down on producing its own natural moisture. Unfortunately, it has become the new IT ingredient, people talk about it like it's the second coming of moisturizers, and it's in just about everything. I'm looking forward to the day when products are labeled as hyaluronic acid free..

i recently checked the ingredients list of the isntree hyaluronic acid moist cream on their website. there is no ceramide listed on it. did they change the formulation too when they changed their packaging?

Better yet ,focus on skin for those of us over 60, even 70. One of the biggest problems is that most of the content creators themselves are between 28 and 40, and haven't got a clue about what we have to deal with. Those who are in their mid-50s to early 60s just aren't that knowledgeable about ingredients the way Kelly is and while they mean well, they just try stuff and if they like it then they talk about it. It's a good side hustle and a great way to get gifted products as well as make a bit of money to buy products. But it's not all that helpful.
