The neogen vbiome is great. It's kind of a dupe for the allies of skin peptide cream but it has more peptides at a quarter of the price.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

It’s one of those products where I’m surprised I don’t hear more about it!

[@tyronesoares3268]

Neogen can be a sneak attack. You just have to find the good stuff. I think they are getting better as a brand.

[@havana6020]

I feel like my K-beauty HG- the Cosrx Snail Mucin 96 essence- has been doing less and less for me (i think you mentioned in another video, but it seems more watered down/reformulated?) so im glad you’re sharing these new products to try out!!

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Yeah. Yeah I think it really does feel less effective these days! I’m so glad there are other options

[@agiles6483]

I have made the change from Cosrx snail mucin essence to Jumiso and am happy because hydration with peptides❤. I haven’t even had the Neogen Firming Cream on my radar, it sounds lovely.

It really does feel like such an upgrade! 😃

just cracked open my jumiso snail essence and i can't wait to see the results! that mixsoon cream is so lovely, what an amazing thick creamy texture!!

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Let me know how the Jumiso goes for you! 😁

[@lavayuki]

I am half way through the Abib rice sleeping mask which was a random purchase ages ago before people started talking about it and I quite like it. It is thick and sticky though, which makes me prefer other sleeping masks like Cosrx, but it’s still great. From Vegreen I have only used the Vitamin C serum and loved it.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

It’s so thick!! I wasn’t expecting it at all on first glance. But wow, just what I need especially now as we run the heat. It’s tiring to put on heavy moisturizer at night and still wake up dry - whew is this effective at preventing that!

[@SheReaDelSol]

Need Jumiso since I love the Cosrx snail mucin!

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

It’s next level!

[@carriemeredith]

I also enjoy the Jumiso essence for the peptides, but the dry-time is key for me because I use it with my Booster-H device. Whoa, does my skin love the combination of those two things! 😮 On the debate between snail and vegan mucin, I for one will be continuing with snail because it helps with the redness associated with my rosacea. And that redness is the flipping bane of my existence.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Yup. I do think I have an increased appreciation for slow dry time because of the same device lol! Can recommend mixsoon’s bean essence for the same use ☺️

I love Neogen’s First Essence. I have so many other toners and essence’s to get through though so I am waiting to restock on it.

[@annavieste7208]

Could you do a comparison on all the bifida serums / toners . There are so many now it’s confusing

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

In order of my personal least to most favorite: Mixsoon bifida toner (not sure this does more than very gently hydrate), Isntree bifida serum (nice hydration, ok on skin strengthening), Axis-Y biome (great results! Has some EOs, but the lower irritant ones), Manyo/Advanced Night repair (on the same level for me, great for skin strengthening, but one costs much more!)

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

That’s what I’ve tried long enough to have a developed opinion on/claims a higher bifida use level

[@connie6410]

I love a good side by side comparison, thank you for doing these! I have and love the Vegreen and I also use the CosRx snail mucin, but now I know I have to try Jumiso as well. Also great to see how much you like those new sunscreen filter combos. So many great K-beauty products!!

[@CloverBell13]

Had to give myself a stricter budget this year for Black Friday/Cyber Monday so I wouldn't make my wallet cry, but I still got some awesome products! K-Beauty wise I picked up the Anua Heartleaf 77% Toner because everyone raves about it and I've been super curious to try it, the COSRX Low pH Niacinamide Micellar Water because it looks good for acne prone skin, and the TIRTIR Milk Skin Toner because the ingredient list looks great. I haven't ever heard anyone talk about TIRTIR or their products, so I'm looking forward to trying it.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Ah I’m so curious about the micellar water!! Can you let me know how it goes for you? I’ve got to finish a few first, but definitely considering picking that one up in the future

[@pav_pab]

That's honestly surprising because I feel like I've been hearing a lot of people on tiktok talk about the TIRTIR toner lately! Also - all good reviews so far, so you'll probably like it :)

@@AliceintheRabbitHole Been testing the COSRX micellar water for a few weeks now and I love it! I also have dry skin, so I like to cleanse with micellar waters in the morning and I'm actually liking this COSRX micellar water better than the Bioderma!

Unfortunately I don't wear makeup much anymore, so no idea if it is an effective makeup remover, but for a morning cleanse I'm really enjoying it!

Hi Alice. Yup, I was looking at Mixsoon moisturizer cream... Thicker texture for dry skin while winter season and I may try out the Jumiso mucin after I finished my Vegreen yam mucin serum... 😅

[@geethaparasuram6338]

Thanks for the review. Slowly more products are getting added to my 2nd string list ! Long back, when the ordinary first came out with the buffet, a reviewer compared it to her HG peptide serum and said 'we have no idea how much of the peptides are present in the buffet. There is no value in adding minuscle amounts of everything'. Is there a justification in that comment ? I was looking at the Mary&May peptide serum and now the Jumiso. Not sure how to choose. Just a passing thought 😊 Have a great week.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

See the thing is: every ingredient has a different level at which it’s effective. Like how taking a quarter of an ibuprofen won’t get rid of a headache, but taking the proper dose will - the rules are very similar with skincare But each ingredient differs. With peptides, we have seen efficacy at .003%! However, it’s a whole family so - each peptide has its own effective level (and some have more research than others) Tretinoin is a great example of an ingredient where we absolutely have to throw away the “more is better” mindset!

[@geethaparasuram6338]

@AliceintheRabbitHole Yes. That is my thought exactly. If the peptides are not at their therapeutic dose, there is no point in saying this or that serum has 5 peptides or 10 peptides. That said, I am not too worried.

[@masonjeq4261]

I feel the sales ups and downs for k-beauty, but I actually think there's a bit more to it. On the luxury side, I got one order from Jolse with the Bishop and was debating buying more if the prices dropped. Instead by CM they had gone up (I think they'd allocated only a portion of the the stock and some previously $100 gift sets had jumped to double that). Candidly I'm not upset because I don't need more stuff, but interesting to note for next year if there's something I really want. As far as luxury went, I honestly felt Amazon had some of the best discounts that weren't in a set and I've noticed most sets focus heavily on Skin Softener/Lotion which aren't my favorite products making them only good values if you like those products most of the time (there are exceptions). On the lower price point side, there were some great discounts like the Jumbos, but the limited number of discounted products made it very hard to fill up a cart for free shipping based solely on discounts. I blame Stylevana's 50% weekly sales for this in part as if I wanted to try something I probably already have it. Frankly even depending on the week I've seen better deals than anything I saw this weekend for I'm From products, Dear Klairs, Missha and a few others. Singles day might have eclipsed this holiday weekend.

It’s so true. Every Friday is a Black Friday on Stylevana if you know how to shop their site 🤣

[@SpicyxTofu]

For hyperpigmentation I’ve had my eye on the new Eucerin anti-pigment line. I’m thinking of trying it out. They developed a new ingredient called Thiamidol which is supposed to be as good as hydroquinone but without the negative effects. I haven’t looked into any studies (if there are any as Eucerin has patented the ingredient). Would love to know your thoughts☺️

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

It’s an interesting ingredient! Effective at much lower levels vs hydroquinone too
