K-Beauty Products for Mature Skin!

[@moniquelindholm1381]

Aging. Ugh. I don’t want to be my younger self either. And I’m getting to a place where I’m having to accept certain realities about being an older person (56). Not willing to just ‘let myself go’ but also realizing that if we are lucky enough to grow old there is no escaping aging! And also realizing it’s ok :) I have clients really having a struggle with this that are older than me. And I see it’s such a waste of time and energy. You can be older and still be amazing. And they are!! But they are fixated on looking young. So it’s definitely been an education for me.:)

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Yes absolutely, aging is a privilege! I try to see it as living different chapters in my book. In thinking of it this way, I notice there seem to be pros and cons of each age range; I like my mind now, and I look forward to storing even more knowledge in my brain in the future! But I’m starting to get some of those body pains, and that’s…well, it’s not my favorite. But it’s all a part of the book - gotta keep on writing/appreciating where I am! ☺️

[@pamelagileno5483]

I feel this. I'm also 56 but this last year for me has been transformational in the best way possible.

[@justilou1]

Agree! I’m a nurse and know that aging is absolutely a privelage not afforded to everyone. That said, I’m going down kicking and screaming! I want to be as healthy inside and out so that I can remain as independent as possible!

[@Nesace]

SK2 works! I used it since I was 26-27 yo. I’m turning 38 this year and people think I am younger than 30 yo. It’s expensive but 1 bottle full size can last for 12-14 months, use twice daily, splash on palm. Just use the essence, you don’t need the rest. Hope this helps ^^

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

The essence is like skincare gold 🤐

[@PsiChotic]

Which one is the full size though? The largest one or the regular size one?

[@lukastemberger]

There are Galactomyces dupes these days that are much cheaper and cruelty free. I'm using the Mizon First Essence and there's also Secret Key. You won't have to feel like you have to be so frugal with it. Also, I'm 40 and people often tell me I look under 30. Tretinoin, peptides, niacinamide, Vit C and SPF work too :)

[@wendymac423]

Thank you! I am new to your channel and I find that there is a lack of information for we mature ladies. I am 66 years young and have taken care of my skin. I wore sunscreen back 38 years ago. My guilty pleasure is skin care. In the last year, I have discovered K-Beauty. They are literally light years ahead! It's primarily what I use now. I appreciate you doing a video for us gals who are mature! Love from Canada!

Happy to help! 🥰

Comments on 3 things I have learned from you. All in separate videos. Did not throw out the I’m from Mugwort mask. Purchased a small Fresh Kombucha toner. (Using your method, I think it is helping my non-rosacea redness, and LOVE using the Dr. C toner as a later, almost à moisturizing step. Keep them coming!

Hi Alice! I would like to see a comparison between Manyo Bifida Complex and the Numbuzin no. 3. :)

I love peach & lily’s retinal serum! I have seen a lot of difference with it! ❤️💜❤️

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Retinal is such a great ingredient! Thanks for sharing as I never had a chance to get around to trying that product specifically, but I do like P&L!

@@AliceintheRabbitHole you are most welcome!!!!!! I see quite a few of my faves in this! Such a great video!

[@paulayarbrough6930]

I just don't understand the color 😕 it's sooooo yellow and it's stains your clothes. Even after washing my face the following morning 🌄 the yellow is still on my skin. I wish it wasn't like that and because of that I won't repurchase it. It makes sense why when the product first came out, people wouldn't show them actually using it lol

[@ashleylamb1000]

@@paulayarbrough6930 I can see that being a strong reason. I know retinal in general has a yellow color to it. It's one of the ways that you can tell how strong the retinal is. I also know Peach & Lily like to use Turmeric in their skincare as well. I mix it with my moisturizer as I have very sensitive skin, so I don't tend to notice it too much. If you are looking for other options, CosRx, Isntree & Beauty of Joseon all have very nice retinol products!

[@dawnmariemoores]

What product are you talking about?

[@geethaparasuram6338]

I would love to pick your brains with some questions. As someone else mentioned here, we rarely hear K beauty and mature skin together. The anti-aging properties of most ingredients seem to be preventative in that they need to be used before the signs set in. Can you point out which ingredients can actually be used on mature skin to address issues like wrinkles, fine lines, age spots or loss of tone after they have occurred.(not to reverse but to slow down or arrest) Is mugwort actually useful for mature skin? If one is already using L-ascorbic acid, do the products for blemish control with only vitamin C help?

[@Belle_Ndebeledoll]

Thanks for this Alice, I am 47 (aaaahhh) and it is wonderful to have K-Beauty options to incorporate into my routine as my skin is evolving everyday, every week, every year with the changes far more noticeable and it happens so quickly. I do use tretinoin, Vitamin C and Glycolic acid (not together obviously 😂). I still need plenty of hydration and some additional ‘oomph’ now as my hormones are having their pre-retirement parties, so I never know what hangover my skin will have. Your suggestions are awesome, thanks 🙏 ❤ PS: You are looking beautiful as usual and your skin is beautiful 🤩

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Happy to help! I think quite often about how nice it is to have these products sooo much more accessible these days. I’m very glad for it!

[@Belle_Ndebeledoll]

Absolutely, what was available when I was younger compared to what’s available now in skincare is phenomenal and the quality of more affordable options is worlds apart.

[@LauraLVTGW]

So glad you did this!! I've been using the ginseng essence water from BOJ, however haven't seen a change in my skin. I wish my budget could stretch for the ginseng you recommend. Love all your videos and recommendations. Many blessings!!! 💖💖💖

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Ginsenosides are great, but I will say that like all ingredients, they’re optional. You can make a fantastic routine at any price point ☺️

[@elacampusano7341]

Alice, I personally think that k-beauty for mature skin is a difficult topic to explain for western consumers, because it treats the subject in a more holistic way and it is difficult to see it from a western point of view in which we think more of active ingredients that transform the skin such as the incorporation of acids, vitamin C, retinoids, etc. But the k beuty treats mature skin holistically. Thank you for your recommendations and I really want to try the Manyo ampoule and everything from Donginbi. Alice, have you tried anything Isa knox, The History of Whoo, O HUI or SU:M 37? I really want to try those brands for mature skin. A giant hug and I hope you are very well 😘

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Yeah absolutely, and it’s a hard topic to discuss with a western mentality. We are all about the “fastest, most powerful” products - but skin doesn’t always like that! I’m trying out HoW very soon on the channel (should actually be filming it this week, so excited 😁)

[@maggie_n_ms]

My Medicube Age-R Derma EMS Shot arrived today! I took advantage of the recent sale and stacked your discount code on it. I got a great deal and free gifts!! Time to rewatch your videos and some others and get atarted.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

So exciting!! Let me know how it goes for you!! I remember feeling intimidated by it when I first started using it, so I’d say to start with the low settings. Somewhere along the way, the sensation goes from “this is different!” to nearly…relaxing? Absolutely love it now haha

[@WooWooGirl]

I'd love to see a video about Milia due to heavy moisturizers. I think that is why I get them. I thought they were an allergic reaction. Now I am not sure.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

It’s technically keratin that is stuck under the skin. Not really an allergy, but it is one of those things that some folks experience more than others. Typically, it occurs around the eye area in those who develop it, so eye creams are formulated to be lighter in consideration of this possibility. Hope that helps!

[@aprilneilson1163]

I'm 53 and you care less about the opinions of other's. I'm kinda still 18 in my head though, so I feel like I'm not old.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

[@marilynt5029]

Hi! I wonder if you could make a video comparing both Ma:nyo Bifida Biome Complex Ampoule and Isntree TW Real Bifida Ampoule. I'm so eager to know your thoughts about these two. Thanks!

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Oooh I like this idea! It could be a “this or that” kind of video, perhaps?

[@ashcraft555]

I might agree to going back to 20 if I could keep all my current knowledge and brain development. I would not want to return to 20 as it actually happened, though - it was bad enough having to live through that once. I'll keep the hot flash life instead. I keep trying to talk myself out of those Medicube devices but I feel like I'll give in and buy them within the next month.

[@davidsotir4318]

I was a little underwhelmed by that product after using it for several months. Of course, I appreciate that everyone's skin is different but I found it to be slightly tacky and it didn't make any perceptible difference to the quality of my skin. What has everyone else's experience been? Would love to know!

[@pamelagileno5483]

La Mer user here🙋‍♀ Though I'm also a toner/essence addict largely thanks to K Beauty. La Mer's original cream actually healed my chronically dry skin under my nose last winter. It did what no other cream could and I had used many (Clinique, In Your Face, Peter Thomas Roth, Elemis, Proven). Our winters here are long, cold, and dry (Alaska) and if you have mature, dry, sensitive rosacea-prone skin like I do, the winter wreaks havoc on your skin. I discovered La Mer last November and am now a dedicated user of certain products (treatment lotion, genaissance infused lotion, their emulsion, creams, and serums). I don't like their eye creams very much. I don't use La Mer exclusively by any means and have incorporated products from all price ranges (drug store, French pharmaceutical, UK, Hungary, Canada, K & J Beauty). Oh and La Mer's cleansers are mediocre at best. There are so many better options out there! One of the greatest game changers for my skin was discovering the K Beauty layering method for toners/essences and serums. Also: CENTELLA and MUGWORT! My skin loves both of these. Also watch several Derms on KZbin and follow their skincare recs as well (Dr Dray, & Dr Shereene Idriss and a few other less notables) I like taking the time out for my skin and thus my routines show it lol. I'm FINALLY at the old-ass age of 56 beginning to incorporate a mild retinol (Stratia's nightshift) as I've been afraid my skin would HATE it given the rosacea and hypersensitivity. So far so good. I have that Thank You Farmer Gel and Cream btw. It's a wonderful product!

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Thank you for sharing! It makes sense in my mind to have a routine with a mix of affordable and higher end products. For example, I just can’t imagine going back to high end cleansers (love my drugstore ones lol), but will I follow a $15 cleanser with SK-II? Yes, yes I will 🤣 So I can see La Mer alongside K-Beauty making for a lovely routine And yes the layering method is such a good way to get the most from toners/essence!

[@elacampusano7341]

Alice, I'm trying Missha's essence, the Chogongin, and I'm liking how it leaves my skin, but you have to put a drop all over your face, because it's hard for it to absorb. I think the Sulwhasoo serum has a better texture, but I can't say that I've noticed any change, because it's been a short time, but I can say that I've never tried anything so nourishing on my skin. 🥰

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Thanks for sharing!

[@lollybabe08]

please can you specify which of the chogongjin essences since there are at least six different types? Thanks. I just got the Sosaeng essence (serum) and I am loving it. Not sure why the Chogongjin line has so few reviews on youtube.

[@elacampusano7341]

@@lollybabe08 In my understanding, the Youngan Jin line is for more mature skin with expression wrinkles and devitalization, while the Sosaeng Jin line is for mature skin that wants to increase the vitality of the skin and at the same time provide care for elasticity and firmness, in In this line there are two essences, the largest (90ml, the boosting essence) is to increase the absorption of the rest of the products that follow, also enhancing the and luminosity and the smallest, (50ml) is directed at the treatment as such of what the Sosaeng range promises as I mentioned before, and there are other ranges (the white ones) one is for mature skin looking for depigmenting care and the other I don't remember.

@@elacampusano7341 Thanks I know the range about 5 different lines( for younger with propolis, one for whitening with pearl, soaseng with red ginseng for anti-aging, youngan with black ginseng and peptide for stronger anti-aging, probiotics line. Although the sosaeng essence 50mls have a peptide , the main range does not. I was just wondering which essence was too rich for you. I think of the smaller essence as serum and the larger essence as essence. I just ordered the boosting essence, but I have been using the sosaeng essence (50mls), and cream and eye cream. I love them all.

[@geethaparasuram6338]

Hi. I am late to the party as far as Korean and Japenese skin care is concerned. Have been binge watching a lot of your videos (thank you) and a few others - and this got me so excited that I ordered too many products all at once. Then I learned about the more expensive lines - eeks- the temptation ! The Doginbi line is on my wishlist, once I work through what is yet to arrive !! I guess by then I will know what works for me. It would be better to spend money on a few good choices and be content. I was intrigued by A.H C -Ten Revolution Real eye cream for face and A.H C. Premier Ampoule in eye cream, which are their 10th and 11th generation eye cream.(KZbinr - Odile Monod - The Monodist) I heard that they bring out a new version every year but still produce the older versions for those who prefer not to switch. I will share my experience once I start using them (bought both since I could not decide). We should all hope to age gracefully 😀

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Yeah and in all fairness, I think you can have a fully budget-friendly but very effective routine. As always, the most important part is being consistent with it ☺️ I have no idea how I’ve never tried AHC as I have heard a lot about it (I guess it’s looping back around to your point on how much is out there LOL!) Definitely do let me know how it goes for ya!

[@fedoua5243]

How is it going with A.H.C eye cream so far?

[@geethaparasuram6338]

@fedoua5243 Hi. Some background. I used an eye cream for the 1st time last year, to take care of crepey upper lid skin (would move and stay wrinkled while applying eye shadow), dark circles and under eye crepey skin and wrinkles. I used the NIOD's fractionated eye contour concentrate and topped it with my night moisturizer. No change after a year ! I have only been using AHC for 2 weeks. The hydration and plumping of the skin are very good. The upper lid has improved a lot and does not wrinkle up when the eyeshadow brush moves on it. I see more of my upper lid as a smooth surface and am wondering if there is more lift to my hooded eyes. The under eye darkness has reduced. Puffiness has reduced. The fine lines and wrinkles under my eyes are smoothing out at a pace I am happy with. I did not have much crow's feet to start with but now I don't see them at all (until I crinkle my eyes) The little dark line going down from the outer corner of my eyes have faded - so the eyes don't look droopy. The best part is that when I look at my face as a whole, the eyes and the skin around it look taut, toned and firmer and no longer tired looking and sagging.(At this point in time, I have also started using korean brand hydrating toners, snail mucin, serums & moisturizers) I think the results you may see depend on how your skin is to start with. Good luck! Hope this helps !

@fedoua5243 Until recently, my A.M. routine was Timeless 20%vit C, timeless coenzyme Q serum, cerave p.m. lotion and sunscreen. P.M.I had carefully built up to 0.1% tretinoin from curology, timeless matrixyl synthe 6 serum, cerave night renewing cream/olay regenerist LED red light therapy 5-6 nights. Once a week, the ordinary AHA/BHA peeling solution (will stop it) I switched to elf holy hydration night cream and a propolis face cream that was gifted to me in lieu of the night&morning moisturizers. My skin started flaking, peeling, etc. I stopped both and switched back to cerave. Past 2-3 weeks, I have Added Pyunkang Yul essence toner, neogen real ferment micro essence, cosrx advanced snail mucin essence, skin 1004 madagascar centella ampoule, numbuzin no 3 skin softening Serum. I rotate between Goodall vegan rice milk moisturizer, etude soon jung hydro barrier cream& rovectin cream(bought without any logic in my head!)

Be careful if brown or dark skin Tinasorb M can give a cast greyish/white. This is the reason I stick to our European sunscreen over Korean ones. I like La Roche posey Athelios fluid for winter and colder months, for summer I love the Garnier fluid. Both contain alcohol but they are fluid hence why I love these.....

$10!?! 🤯🤯 what a score!!

I probably asked for this video a bit back but I've kind of got the routine down for my aging well journey . Thanks to you and Mira my most trusted sources. I did just get the Asterwood matrixyl 3000 with Argerline for under eye. That's what was missing . Dermalect is on my radar I'm curious after the billion influencers I know as well as I know you and their followers say the formula is magic. We shall see. Hugs 🤗

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Yesss I absolutely love peptides in my eye products! You’ll have to let me know how that one goes for you. I’m still sticking with the more budget-friendly TO, but I’ve been very tempted by NIOD’s

[@melindagenitempo2359]

@@AliceintheRabbitHole Alice it's already looking better. Depology has a product too more expensive and I'd love to catch Niods sale but for now I am so glad I grabbed the Asterwood M 3000 plus argerline. It isn't good under concealer but I dab it on weekends and every night.

[@misslady2470]

For donginbi is the Daily Defense or single essence better? I just bought the single essence but now idk if i need the Daily Defense also?

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Tbh I like to use one ginseng product at a time, so I’d say to use up the product you bought first. If you love it, you could either stick with it or try the serum (which I guess I would say feels a little more potent, but honestly both are great!)

[@aprilneilson1163]

Does Donginbi essence contain fragrance? Could it irritate my sensitive skin Alice?

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

It does yeah 😔 I think these high end brands that use ginsenosides also like to add fragrance for that ~luxurious experience~. I wish it wasn’t a mixed bag (I actually love the scent in Donginbi/Sulwhasoo products!)

I’ve definitely got my eye in the mayo bifida it’s currently at £25 on Amazon waiting till tomorrow to see if it goes down any further, if not, I’m still buying. I saw you last week saying I love you to the bottle and knew it was the one for me 😂😂

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

There are very, very few products that have made that level of a change in my skin. Took a while, but it was so worth it. I feel like it’s funny too because it’s pretty affordable (get it in a sale though, it’s $35 retail but with coupons/deals you can pay less) - but that means my heaviest hitters are all affordable!

[@feikarfathurrahman243]

Hi, Alice. Thank you so much for your very insightful videos. I really enjoy watching your videos. I wanna ask you one thing, which one would you recommend, the Manyo Bifida Complex Ampoule or the Axis Y Bifida Radiating Intense Essence? I am currently looking to buy one of those products, but still do not know which one should I go for. Hopefuly I will get some insight from you. And btw, greetings from Indonesia.

Thanks for doing this video! Yep, words that are rarely used in the same sentence: Mature skin and K-beauty. Are there any k-beauty lip masks you would recommend or are western lip products with peptides the best? Thanks, again!

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

I do have a favorite lip product: the grandepout lip mask! I almost use it more like a serum and lock it in with an occlusive lip balm. That system gives incredible results (and you can use aquaphor or the like for part 2, doesn’t have to be $$) ☺️

[@pamorama]

ACK!!! I just ordered a different bifida product from Stylevana last night. Alice I tried to use your code but I had already used one for 18% off and it wouldn’t stack. Is your code supposed to stack usually?

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Oh no I don’t think you can stack codes on stylevana. At least I’ve never figured out a way to 😔

[@pamorama]

@@AliceintheRabbitHole If I go there using your links, but use the better code, do you still get credit?

I already have an LED mask I used many times a week, do you think I still need the medicube one ? What would be the additional benefit ? Love all your kbeauty recommendation. I am dying to try the purito new daily soft-touch as I realized that my skin need & love ceramides. I also want to try the thank you farmer gel cream, but I had their toner in the same line and seems to have some sensitivity, so wondering if I should just not risk it.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Mm, if you had sensitivity, I would honestly say probably no. If I were you, I wouldn’t (because I know what reactions are like and they are noooo fun!) I do both LED and devices, but I’ll add a few notes: keep in mind it does take time, so you have to ask yourself if you will be consistent with the devices. As for whether it’s worth it for additional benefits, it really depends on the device in question as they all target different concerns. My clifs notes are (oh god does it date me to say clifs notes 🤣): EMS for toning muscles, Ussera for minimizing lines, Booster for increasing absorption for dry skin/Airshot for increasing absorption for oily skin. HTH!

Alice, I have been looking for a great affordable peptide serum. I am 57 today and it's prime day so I'm looking for an affordable peptide serum that may be cheaper on Amazon. I watched your video on peptide serums. Which one do you recommend the most for anti-aging ?😩

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

I do like all of those, they’re just a bit different. I see the price on haruharu’s is amazing today, and I miiight just restock that myself (still deciding as I’m not out, but it’s a great deal!)

[@roxannerutherford3524]

@@AliceintheRabbitHole Thank you!

[@WooWooGirl]

Can Alice tell me why CERAMIDE-containing creams/liquid sunscreens/actives...are SO STICKY ON MY FACE? TACKY is very unpleasant. Any suggestions to deal with the STICKY? Anyone? Powder helps but still slightly TACKY to the touch. If this sunscreen is going to feel sticky on my face...I wouldn't use it.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Hmm, well a couple options. One is you could start with a more hydrating base, which will increase the speed of absorption of your ceramide products. It could also be impacted by something else in your routine. For example, I found the new Haruharu sunscreen to be quite tacky-until I figured out that the tackiness was occurring when I applied it over heavy moisturizer (works just fine over light moisturizer!) I’ll also add that some products are simply formulated with a heavier/more tacky feel. You could look for lighter ceramide products, perhaps?

[@WooWooGirl]

@@AliceintheRabbitHole thank you for your reply. I thought maybe I needed to wait longer between application of each layer of product. Even when I wait 10-15 mts between layers...still sticky. Powder seems to be the only way to matte it a bit. I actually DREAD using moisturizers with Ceramides. Bedtime is fine. Still need a towel over my pillowcase though. Gets Sticky. The Price of Vanity, right?

Hey Alice, I am looking to add ginseng into my routine but every product I see recommended has added fragrance. My rosacea can't handle that. Any fragrance free rec's? Thanks so much 💜

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

I’m on the hunt, but I do have to admit it seems like a challenge. I think what’s going on is: the brands that are working with ginsenosides (the active part of ginseng) are higher end, as that research is $$ and thus drives up the cost of the final product. And high end brands like to add fragrance for both the experience and to prevent counterfeiting.
