Yes, I actually like the jelly cleanser, but I didn’t think it would be for you. For those of us with combination skin types or larger pores on her nose and chins. It’s quite nice, but you do need to make sure to replenish because it makes your face very clean. Thank you for such a complete Rundown of this brand. also I’ve also seen it in Target for those who are looking to purchase it.

Thank you Alice, great review! I’ve been loving the facial oil(it really does last sooo long) and planning on picking up the mist toner and the repair treatment, seems right up my alley😊I just saw they came out with lip oils and a lip mask that contains PHA🤔very interesting choice I wonder what you think?

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

I saw that when I was making the links for this video. Had no idea they had so many new ideas in the works haha! But yes I too am curious on the PHA one. Exfoliating lip balms have been a mixed bag for me (never forget your SPF *lip balm* if you use them!!! I lived and learned…🥺)

That’s such a good question! LG is more like a creamy serum to me (and I don’t use it during the day as it somewhat tints my skin, only while it’s on though). The Byoma is a cream for day or night use ☺️

Oh in this video it was this brand! It changes based on the “brand of the month” ☺️ I always keep: adapalene and k-beauty sunscreens though

[@traceymp1405]

Hello Alice! 😃 I love their packaging - it's so cute! Byoma is at our local Shoppers Drug Mart (local drug store). I haven't tried anything from this brand yet, I just have so many other products to use, although I would like to try the new cleanser and milky toner. The moisturizing cream and the Barrier + Repair Treatment sound interesting - I prefer thicker creams. The body oil looks very thick - almost like castor oil (is the oil sticky? or leave a sticky feeling?). I will get around to trying these - just too cute looking not to. ❤ Have a lovely night! 🌸💮🌸

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

YES, the body oil does feel tacky on the skin. IMHO, I think very few people will really love it. Someone will because that’s how the world works, but WOOF, I did not like it lol

[@Nezukokjyuro]

Byoma is also made in Korea hence why I enjoy some of their skincare 😊

[@neyisek6928]

They are at target too

[@db-gb5xi]

Thanks for the review. I wonder how the barrier repair treatment compares to the LRP Cicaplast Gel B5 Skin Protectant which is 21% glycerin, though the Byoma looks more elegant? HPR seems to wind up in eye products (like Drmtlgy), so maybe better for the eyes? So I see there's another body retinol (a serum) from Soft Services (which is at Sephora).

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Ah wish I could help but I’ve only tried the old version (can compare those though: the LRP was waaay heavier!) yeah, I guess I can see it in eye care. I still find myself wishing it had more than some in vivo data though!

[@lisasmith7]

The milky cleanser sound really great ❌️⭕️

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

It’s lovely!

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

I need the barrier repair and protection in winter mostly

[@cherylreitz4779]

Have a few of their products I like them they also have body washes and body lotions

[@julia_l-c]

I tried the hydrating serum I picked up from Target on a whim and there was something in it my skin did not like - I seemed to get more breakouts in some areas when using it (I did try again later to make sure it wasn't hormonal or stress breakouts). Sad, cause it otherwise felt nice. I also wish brands would get off the HA in everything kick - my skin doesn't tend to like it and it's hard to find products for dry skin without it.

[@montananerd8244]

DIY cleansing oil is sooooo good, cheaper than even drugstore, but utterly high end experience. No essential oils or weird ingredients needed. I just can’t find any commercial products that beat my blend, which I change up seasonally. But it doesn’t make sense to do unless you are going to have multiple plant oils handy all the time. lol but the “secret ingredient” that took my recipe to an A++? Mineral oil! That’s the hero ingredient for fast breakdown of heavy stuff like mascara. Like the main ingredient in the 80s & 90s makeup remover we all used…. It’s mostly just marketing is my point lol

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Yes!! And yet some people actively avoid mineral oil 😢 it’s a shame, it’s a very effective ingredient!

[@rebeccab3537]

I've been really happy with both the milky cleanser and milky toner - they're excellent! I have also previously enjoyed the gel cream. I've been sitting on a small minis set I got as a GWP from Ulta a while ago that has a couple of other items, including the rich cream. It's about to get warm here but I think I'll try the cream anyways since it's pretty small. I have two of the body care items - the body polish and hydrating body lotion. Of the 2, I prefer the lotion. The formula is quite nice and packs a punch but isn't heavy. It does have sort of a....sea scent. Like a scent you'd associate with a candle. It's not overpowering and doesn't stick around more than a few hours. I would rather it have been unscented, though. The body polish didn't impress me at all. I don't like how thin it is. I much prefer a more gritty body exfoliant.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Thank you for sharing! I’m with you on preferring a more gritty exfoliant. Have been disappointed many times there lol (and now pretty much stick to Kopari’s as I’m tired of feeling let down 🤣)

[@jessabeauty917]

Pumps on packaging failed for me when I ordered for shipping when it was frigid outside. Items I bought in store all had pumps that worked. Not sure if it was the temps or pressure with shipping.

[@tinat232]

Thanks for the deep dive! I have been looking for a barrier cream that doesn't break me out. I have more of a combo skin type, but still acne/congestion prone. Do you think this could work, or is it really occlusive?

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Combo skin is almost harder for me to guess at than oily since you really fall somewhere in the middle. My suspicion is: it MIGHT work for day use, but I’m certain it would work for evening use. It’s not too occlusive, but it does have some occlusive properties. Hope that helps!

[@tinat232]

Thanks! I might give it a go.

[@cjaneg97]

Unfortunately not all Byoma products are available in Canada. I hope we get the Barrier + Repair Treatment soon.

[@phantomthread4385]

Tried the rich cream when it came out and it was great and then the pump stopped working halfway through. So mad cos it's not in a tube so couldn't cut it open like a tube. Scarred and too scared to try anything else 😂

[@danidani5309]

Hi Alice, what toner/ essence/ serum would you recommend for intense hydration that doesn’t feel heavy or sticky

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Tbh this one is actually a really good option. It’s lighter than some of the milky toners but still quite hydrating. Another option though: get some compressed sheet masks and use those with whatever toner you currently have. That helps prevent evaporation and forces the product into your skin, so you get more from it without a heavy/sticky feel!

[@The_anomaly760]

When I bought the milk cleanser I was stupid and didn’t do my research first. But since it’s pretty much amazing for my skin it ended well but moral of the story do your research :)

[@Kenz.Madds_]

I was wondering how to close the body lotion

[@Cuhbate]

i have so much byoma

[@mainjoejoe2356]

is byoma ok for oily skin

[@patrlockheart]

These are also at target

[@lavayuki]

Byoma seemed like a kids brand to me like Bubble so never really tried much, but out of curiosity I did buy and use the face mist and the jelly cleanser. I disliked the mist as it was too basic and nothing compared to my K-Beauty face mists, so never bought it again and went back to the korean ones. The cleanser was nice.... I don't really like the square packaging but the new milk cleanser and toner seems much better, I want to try those. Byoma seem pretty good ingredient wise, I am curious about the barrier repair cream, as I have been using LRP cicaplast for years and want to try something different but was never able to find something as nourishing.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

I know exactly what you’re saying! I have a feeling byoma is trying to expand their horizons (based on the centella “toner” -essence lol-, barrier treatment, and now even lip oils). Exciting, as I do feel the previous line had a pretty basic feel to it.

[@noriii971]

Would you say the milky toner could be a cheaper alternative to the Dr Ceuracle Kombucha Essence? If anyone has any moisturizing essence recommendations I'll take them!!

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

That’s one of few milky toners that is really quite different (well, that and the Mary & May lol). The Dr. C feels VERY moisturizing vs hydrating and a bit moisturizing. Still, I do think both accomplish the same general idea!

[@morgangrace3699]

The barrier one isn’t in Canada yet 😢

[@JuneGaffney]

I felt ok that we don't have Ulta here after hearing this review. Interesting but no must haves if you've got some great Korean beauty. Yam milk cleanser for instance?😊

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Indeed!

[@taintedlife2618]

I was just going to order from ulta with a 20 percent off code they sent me. It expired so I refused!! 😂 but this helps keep those Byoma products on my radar since I need moisturizers.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

They’re so stingy with the 20% off codes, bah! I will say though…the $3.50 off works with Byoma. Because of who I am as a person, I use that on separate pickup orders. $3.50 off a $50 order isn’t great, but keeping it close to $15 is as much as 23% off!

[@faythewu]

Some of these are on sale for 30% off at Ulta now!

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

@@faythewu I was juuust looking at that! And the $3.50 off coupon is stacking on top of that 🤯

[@Storm411z]

Ulta stocks probably dropped because their new sale format was so garbage 😬 AND it was right before the Sephora spring savings event so after such a flop, everyone is dumping all that money they didn’t spend with Ulta into Sephora instead 😅 (myself included, cuz they wouldn’t let me use the 20% coupon more than once whereas Sephora Rouge I can use 20% all sale long 💅🏽)

Agreed, it does feel like they did everything wrong!

[@melindagenitempo2359]

We like the spray mist. But i am not surprised at Ultas stock performance. I want to read some analyst reviews, the 10 k and a few quartleys. Ive wanted to do same on Sephoras too. Honestly i just think inflation has killed us and its not going to get better unless drastic action is taken. 16 Trillion in debt with more going to Ukraine and im in Texas this border shit has to stop.

[@northernqueen9811]

For the barrier moisturiser, would you say it’s light enough for morning use on skin that gets a little more oily in the summer months? The other body products are meant to be much better than the body oil, sounds like you were maybe a little unlucky in which one you tried first

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Hmmm. Tbh, it might be heavy on oily skin, though keep in mind that I’m guessing (as I have very much the opposite skin type!) Unlucky sounds about right, wouldn’t be the first time 🤣😂
