KOREAN SKINCARE AWARDS 2024 - 5 Korean Skincare Brands You Need (*Not Sponsored*)

[@MadAboutSkin]

Hey guys and welcome to todays video which is one I have been looking forward to for ages.. I would love to know what you think the best korean skincare brand is so let me know in the comments below.. Love you all x

[@user-me6ye1oy8j]

I'm going to try them and I'll let you know.

[@karenwinkler3069]

Non gmo organic?

[@phantomthread4385]

Just got obsessed with Korean skincare this year. Now I'm also obsessed with the medicube wand. They really are light years ahead of everyone else.

[@MadAboutSkin]

I still need to try the medicube as I havent yet but I have it on the list.. love x

[@Indiangirl1984]

What do they make

[@Princesssonny7]

Thank you for the information!! Missha Tinted BB cream with SPF is great too. It’s mineral based sunscreen and it’s so pretty on the skin.

[@annana9297]

I love the Skin1004 brand and I agree that the Pore minimising ampule you mentioned is great, I am using it as well.

[@MadAboutSkin]

I think its one of the best peptides on the market for sure.. sending you lots of love x

[@aouroram722]

Every product you share is wonderful. Korean skin care is on another level.😊

[@MadAboutSkin]

Oh thank you so much hun an I agree I think korean skincare is where its at right now x

[@roden70]

I'm currently trying Korean skincare and lots of their products are great. For winter and skin barrier care I love the Torriden yellow line products. And the funny thing is that light western creams are never enough caring and moisterizing for my skin but some Korean brands are! I love the Unik beta glucan moisture cream and it's lightweight but very nurturing for the skin. I get lots of allergic reactions to western brands but hardly ever from a Korean brand. And the price point of the Korean products is so much more affordable than even western drugstore brands, it's almost unbelievable.

[@SuperPatinator]

I newly discovered Kbeauty and Im already in the rabbit hole lol I want to assemble a product routine with minimal amounts of products, but it is soo hard to decide. Especially when it comes to toners the range of amazing and affordable options is endless. Like I thought I had an idea and then I saw the 50 fermented ingredients in the numbuzin no3 toner and then I saw videos about how amazing the no3 serum is. I feel overwhelmed 😂😂😂 but in a positive sense

[@adonissgirl8545]

Hey, Rob! Speaking of Numbuzin, have you seen the #4 Collagen 73% Pudding Serum? It looks really nice n those of us who have lost elasticity and have sagging skin, I am excited about this! I may have to give it a try before you! 💜

[@isamu_h.1878]

Perfect timing, Rob! I was just on Yesstyle hunting for some new goodies when this video popped up on my KZbin feed ❤

[@MadAboutSkin]

Yay I love a well times video :) thank you so much for watching hun x

[@abigailgnome2117]

HELL YEAH I LOVE MARY AND MAY!! I’ve been using their bifida lotion for about a year now and it has become one of my holy grail moisturizers!!

[@MadAboutSkin]

Thats one of their products I have on my list to try for sure :) love x

[@LilyOlea777]

I love this video. I love Korean skincare and some of the Korean make up. I have been using it long before it was popular. This helps so much because you didn’t mention so many products that it became overwhelming. I did buy the Numbuzin niacinamide cloths a while ago. I’m very interested in many of the products.

[@sandirivera4987]

Beauty of Joseon

[@FourJaysFour]

My skin loves BOJGinseng serum & toner. Rice SPF is Holy Grail

[@pointpleasant6708]

You should type the name of the products on the screen while your reviewing them. It’s impossible to write these products down with the correct spelling of the products. Thanks. 👍🏼

[@jenniferreed6944]

He has all the exact products written with links and with time stamps in the description. I know what you mean, though, I like to take a screenshot of the product so I can go back later, and the influencers that have the product info on the screen make it so much easier. Anyway, hope that helps .

[@MadAboutSkin]

Thank you so much Hun cx

[@lesleyperry2531]

I agree, especially body care products.

[@gailpowell4955]

Loved this video!! Gotta try k secret. Thank you ❤

[@SandiTink]

I resisted buying from the Korean skincare market for a long time, which was a huge mistake. Now, I’m buying the kinds of products that have never been available to me before and loving them. Gentle skincare is exactly what I need.

[@MadAboutSkin]

Yay I am so so glad the products are working for you hun x

[@leylas7079]

Love Isntree, Medipeel and Tiam along with many of your choices.

[@Breizh29200]

Thanks so much for the Mary and May eye cream definitely a game changer!!

[@MadAboutSkin]

no problem hun and its one of my favourties for sure.. love x

[@zanchan]

I got a goofy smile when I guessed right! I really need to try KSecret, stat. These korean skincare videos are always my favourites from you, so thank you so much! I hope you are having a fun and safe move. Much love, and luck your way! Btw you're looking dashing in black 😍

[@JigglyPuff777]

I would love for you to do some hair care product reviews!

[@MadAboutSkin]

I would love to do some haircare content if there would be demand for it :) xx

[@brunas5103]

Your videos are amazing! Numbuzin and Skin1004 are my favorites. I really like Mary and May too. Now I need to try K-Secret and Vegreen ❤

[@MadAboutSkin]

Thank you so so much hun your kind words mean a lot to me.. sending love x

[@alisonfearby9404]

Wow, loved this video. I have been researching all the products you recommend and I am very surprised at the price points! The skin care I am using was recommended by my beautician and it is easily 10-15 times the price of some of these products. Thank you so much for the information and effort you put into your videos! ❤

[@Sun_Moon77]

I think you're gonna choose Skin 1004 I ordered the oil cleansing, just came yesterday and can't believe how game changer that is

[@amazingme88]

I'm so used to clicking on your video, IMMEDIATELY fast-forwarding the first 2 minutes and then clicking Play 😂 i think we all know why, lol, love your content though 🎉❤

[@dianemartin677]

It's either K Secret or Vegreen... Mary&May are my favorite❤ I absolutely love Skin1004 suncreen! Yes, I knew it! I was right with my K-Secret answer and Vegreen 2nd! I always watch you, Rob! And I love the Vegreen Toner! We like the same products and skincare brands, Rob! You have taught me well! Loved your video as usual ❤

[@MadAboutSkin]

haha you know me so well lol.. sending love x

[@rozmcfadden4725]

Thank you Rob, a great overview as usual, what Korean BB cream do you recommend please would love to hear from you or one of your followers as to what they recommend. Thanks again, 💓

[@michellem.s.sophia2447]

Mary & May are so hit and miss & its all around their horrid scents . The eye cream has a great inci list , but the strong old lady scent has no place in an eye cream . The stand outs from them are their serums ; non fragranced , the peptide serum , idebanone serum and cream are fantastic .

[@iewutake]

Skin1004 is my absolute holly grail for skin care and irreplaceable. The only 3 things i use not from them is Cosrx Advanced Snail Mucin 96 and Beauty of Joseon Apricot scrub. Oh and Cosrx pimple patches, the ones with the red on the package. Love em

[@SHINEBEGHO]

My top 5 Korean skincare brand for the month of April * EyeNlip * One days you * Heimish * Skin1004 * Nineless

[@tonyyou2814]

My biggest gripe with skin1004 is that they have no pump version. I don't want my products to be exposed to the air multiple times a day. The cosrx snail dual essence is less sticky and doesn't peal as the OG version

[@MadAboutSkin]

Thank you so much for sharing, personally I dont mind products not having a pump but for those that do your right skin1004 probably isnt the brand.. sending love x

[@Phoenixrises89]

So happy all these brands are vegan & cruelty free ❤❤❤

[@jenniferschmitt8996]

Vegreen and skin 1004 are my staples, my skin loves them❤

[@FourJaysFour]

Skin 1004 is so gentle

[@esme10e87]

I love Korean skincare but it can get confusing which brands & products to buy (I use BOJ). I'm so glad you mentioned tranexamic acid as I've been wanting to add this into my routine to help with my hyperpigmentation but also need the anti-ageing benefits for my mature (melanated skin). I've been using Azelaic acid, thanks to you for introducing of this product in a previous videos 😘. I love the sound of the Numbuzin Vitamin concentrate and Skin1004 product but could you tell me if you use Azelaic acid and tranexamic acid in the same routine? Thanks!

[@TheAmundi]

I've been trying all this brands thanks to you, love them 😊 I'm also trying the brand Kaine (the Chaga mushroom serum with growth factor is amazing 😍)

[@MadAboutSkin]

Yay I am so so glad the recommendations are working for you.. I have never heard of that brand so I will have to check them out.. love x

[@margaret9539]

I tried products from majority of these brands, and I’m obsessed.

[@MadAboutSkin]

Yay I am so so glad they are working for you hun.. love x

[@margaret9539]

Rob, you’re the best. Next order will be your new peptide serum. I’m waiting for other products to be restocked .❤

[@suni2day]

I have 3 different brands in my skincare routine. 2 are Korean and the other is Canadian. let me tell you VeGreen Cica and the mulcin are a game changer for my 55 year old skin. I use skin1004 poremizing morning and evening I love it. Keep the content coming Rob. You're doing a phanominal job. Much appreciation and love from Canada❤

[@MadAboutSkin]

Thank you so so so much for you kind words and support .. sending you so much love x

[@carmenbenyair6384]

I’m also in Canada. Where do you buy or order these Korean products?

[@suni2day]

I shop on Stylevana. I do put in a huge order for the free shipping. I usually get 2 or 3 of each of the products i need.

[@johnny333X2]

Maybe a series on calling out brands who still test on animals?

[@MadAboutSkin]

I think this would be a great option thanks for the suggestion.. love x

[@andrealin8208]

Keep the Korean brand skincare reviews going please. Thank you

[@janm9309]

Definitely K-Secret No.1 with Skin 1004 and Numbuzin up there too! Loved this video and love Korea skincare! I also find the numbering system of Numbuzin totally confusing! Those Skin 1004 30ml bottles are great for traveling and you can always top them up from the larger bottles. P.S. Black suits you xx❤

[@MadAboutSkin]

Oh thank you so much Jan - I always try to go with bright colours but I do like the odd black jumper lol.. Thats such a good idea about filling the smaller ones back up for travelling I will be doing that... love x

[@n.y5345]

i managed to guess 3/5 correctly! Other honorable mentions: Torriden, Purito, Isntree. So many products of theirs that I love and are budget-friendly too. 11:54 - That is a genius idea with the pumps😮I'm recently using the Aveeno calm and restore serum and am really enjoying the quality of the pump. Might do this next time. How do you clean the pump before reusing?

[@superskinessentialsbyg9996]

[@patriciaexposito4949]

Hi there. I also dislike Numbuzin's numbering system. As you say, my brain doesn't compute. I think I still haven't bought anything from that brand because my skin is sensitive and I might get it wrong. So yes, I hope they change this system ASAP. Love your videos ❤

[@MadAboutSkin]

Haha I am so glad I am not on my own with that one lol.. I think its just so confusing.. love x

[@abigailgnome2117]

Ooh I’ve been wanting to try some more egf products but I never stumble across people doing reviews of coxir for some reason? I think it must be a relatively new brand. I’m glad to hear someone likes it! Maybe I’ll have to check it out!

[@ixchel231]

​@abigailgnome2117 it's actually older than cosrx but maybe they don't market themselves as much

[@igeorge25]

It’s just so funny that none of these brands have much or any representation at Olive Young or any of the department stores in Seoul… they are K beauty brands that I think market primarily to western audiences. Not saying they are bad (I love the numbuzin sunscreen), just that I didn’t see them at all in Seoul

[@janenicholson4056]

Interesting. Please tell me the brands that are firing over there. Most of my Korean skincare didn't get a mention here.

I had really high expectations from Skin1004, but that Hyalu-Cica sunscreen makes me look super greasy and shiny. Worst looking korean sunscreen out of the 5 I tried. My favorite brand is Haruharu. The sunscreen is perfect. Oil cleanser, toner and mist are perfect. Even the cotton pads that are shaped like eye patches are perfect because I like to use eye patches in the morning. Either that or Heimish Matcha Eye Patches :)
