HOW DO YOU NOT HAVE A MILLION SUBSCRIBERS? just recently subscribed to your channel. I follow many skincare influencers on UTUBE and I can't believe it has taken so long to find you, but I'm so glad I did. I absolutely love your channel!

[@annikaknoche6362]

I agree with you! Kelly is the best and noone that I know of gives as detailed reviews as Kelly. She should have 1000000 subscribers .⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I've wondered the same! Kelly is so genuine and I learn so much from her. ❤

[@vilmazappulla3600]

Love your videos.Thank you. You are very informative and speak very clearly. I am learning a lot. Now that summer is approaching I will love for you to do video with product recommendations for hot summer weather especially essences that help protect skin from the sun AND help heal sunburn. Even when we use sunscreens and reapply them regularly is possible to get sunburned. I am going on vacation to the beach for a week and I want to be prepared with products that will help protect and heal my skin from the damaging sun rays. By the way, I love your hair color.

[@butterpoweredbike6135]

I love BOJ Ginseng Essence Water in the morning. It feels so good! I never used to have a morning routine, would simply put on sunscreen. Now, I wash and use this product because it feels like a cup of coffee to my skin.

[@bellesall6045]

ooh new retinol, am excited by this. Am suffering from the tret nasties so badly i think i have to give it up (after 2+ years)... Thanks for the thorough breakdown Kelly, love your this or that tutes, they're the best. Would love your thoughts on the numbuzin brand; i am using the essence and honestly I think it's best of best. Would love your thoughts. ❤🙏🏻

[@joy7367]

i love galactomyces, ever since i've started using products with it when i take it away i see the difference, my skin looks less tired, healthier, and just able to stay stronger when i use it. my go to is the cosrx essence, i've got no idea how many bottles i've used by now. i've tried the purito, but i like cosrx better because it plumps and hydrates my skin so well

[@ionescuelectra]

I would really appreciate some clarification about probiotic, prebiotic, biome in skincare products.

[@jowong9596]

Am using cos de baha tranexamic acid which has 5% niacinamide, it is ok to use beauty of joesan ginseng essence which has 2% niacinamide. Sometimes other products often have niacinamide but the % are not disclosed.

[@ninjaturtles12121]

what is your most fav/number 1 ginseng forward product? like u said I do not like single ingredient products. I want to add ginseng to my routine so would appreciate a product rec. thanks!

[@naiadriverchild7898]

Can I use the ginseng water instead of an essence or a serum? My skin do not like to use so many products on my face so I can use only one serum or essence and a cream or sunscreen but I really want to try this one!

[@maya.3544]

Hi, first of all, thank you for all of your hard work on this series. I think this is very informative. Would you happen to know a viable substitute for theClarins Total Eye Lift and Firming Smoothing Eye Cream (red bottle)? This is the only eye cream that I have used and noticed a great improvement. Unfortunately, at approximately $90 per bottle is too expensive. Thanks and have a nice day.

[@KellyDriscoll]

I'm not familiar with the Clarins eye cream but a quick look at the ingredients show caffeine and Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2. The Inkey List has a Caffeine Eye Cream with peptides (Matrixyl 3000) that can target well-aging goals. Might be worth trying to see how it compares!

[@janesmitson7404]

Great video!...Wondering your thoughts on House of Donbari Ginseng Essence and/or Sulwhasoo?...Sulwhasoo is a bit out of my price range unless it's really fantastic though. Thanks!

[@KellyDriscoll]

Unfortunately Sulwhasoo dehydrates and makes me mildly itchy (sensitive to some of the fragrance and denatured alcohol). Donginbi interests me but I've had a hard time recently tracking down their fragrance-free essence, hoping it's not being discontinued.

[@bellaparis1414]

You are great! Thanks for all the info you give us:) I have a question, what K-Beauty cruelty-free (of course) should I get for my painful dehyrted skin? I sure hope you will read this or for that matter anyone who suffers from dehyrated skin, I need an awser bc I'm worn out looking for a moistuizer that will sooth my skin & hydrate it. I am taking phytoceramides as we speak, but looking for a moisturizer & anything else in the K-Beauty regimne that will give me back my skin. Thanks so much! BTW, I am a new subscriber to your chanel & appreciate all of your content.

[@ambergerhelper7852]

I have a Japanese recommendation for you to look at. It’s the Rohto Mentholatum Megumi UV cream. It’s a moisturizer, sunscreen, primer, sleep mask. It’s the most hydrating product I’ve ever used, and I’ve not heard anyone talk about it. It’s got phenomenal ingredients. I use it at night as a sleep mask.

[@contessagreen6]

Just a quick suggestion: can you please highlight the ingredients on the product's INKEY list so I don't have to pause the video to look for them

[@MMM41086]

Have you reviewed drmtlgy needless serum? I have it but not sure it’s worth repurchasing.

After applying moisturiser at night , small pimples started popping on my face 😢, can u suggest a light moisturiser for skin brightening and softness

[@lflipsss]

Just discovered your channel. I've also repurchased the purito a bunch of times and love the texture. I'm currently trying the Manyo - and I don't like it. For some reason purito doesn't sensitize my skin and Manyo does - not sure how that works.

[@celesteadams4833]

Hi Kelly. Love your channel! I need your help please. This or that... Missha Time Revolution Artemisia Essence (have it, my skin absolutely loves it, but pricey) vs BOJ Ginger Essence (never used it, seems like everyone loves it). I already have niacinamide in my routine so that is not allowed to be a deciding factor. LOL! Help me please!!! 🥺 PS: Our winter is just starting so my skin is dehydrated.

[@ambergerhelper7852]

The Artemesia essence did nothing for my skin! 😬

[@mariekevee4501]

I love the top you're wearing here! Is it perhaps new and still available somewhere? 👀

[@KellyDriscoll]

I recently got it from Kohls, the SO line! go.shopmy.us/p-1409514

[@carolesleo]

I never had good visible result with niacinamide + galactomyces. I tried that Purito one and one from Cosrx but I ended giving up. Now I prefer niacinamide + tranexamic acid or arbutin

[@suranada]

Is there's any recommendations of niacinmed, arbutin and tranexamic acid serums or cream because I'm actually looking for these ingredients togother in one product 😅🤗

[@danebeckford8443]

@@suranada There are a few products that I would recommend: Paula's Choice Discoloration Repair Serum has 3% tranexamic acid, 5% niacinamide and 0.5 bakuchiol, this serum helped to fade a years old acne mark. The next serum that I'm currently using is the Skin 1004 Madagascar Centella Tone Brightening Capsule Ampoule with 4% niacinamide and 2% tranexamic acid which works similarly to the Paula's Choice and is a lot more affordable; they also have a cream in this line but have not tried it yet. The Hada Labo Shirojyun Premium line has tranexamic acid and vitamin c derivatives as the active ingredients and the line has a toner, emulsion, cream etc.

[@ninjaturtles12121]

@@suranada Paula's choice 10% niacin amide somehow works best than all other 10% ones imo. idk they have nailed the formula. always wake up with super small pores.

[@KellyDriscoll]

I like the By Wishtrend Propolis Energy Boosting Essence! Covered recently here kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpayemRnlql2aJo

[@emilyschmemily]

I’m curious, do you know how the Mizon formula is able to formulate the copper peptides in with the retinol & niacinamide? I always thought copper peptides didn’t mix with retinol or niacinamide, which has made my TO Buffet + Copper Peptides hard to pair with even most of my moisturizers!

[@emilyschmemily]

Love all your videos, by the way! The number of holy grail products I’ve gotten from your recommendations is crazy! ESPECIALLY Stratia Liquid Gold!

[@KellyDriscoll]

The information about copper peptide and retinol is conflicting. The ordinary advises to not use their copper peptide products with retinoids but it's not a hard and fast, proven confliction (contrary to what the internet says). If Mizon formulated with it I'm inclined to believe it's stable (amounts and packaging probably play a role here too). Is it a great retinol is the bigger question.

[@KellyDriscoll]

​@@emilyschmemilyand I'm so happy to hear LG is working so well for you!

[@aslesha1656]

Kelly, is too much niacinamide a thing? Every product in a routine seems to have the ingredient, & I was wondering is that can be a matter for sensitive skins especially.

[@aslesha1656]

*if that can be a matter of concern for sensitive skins especially. Sorry abt the typo.

[@Opalescenttreeshark]

For me personally, yes. My skin can handle niacinimide in small doses. If I try to use too many products with it, I get irritated. Right now, I use a sunscreen with it and that’s all. I also stay away from products with large percentages of it. I try to stay under 4%

[@KellyDriscoll]

It's an individual thing, some people find it too much and others aren't bothered. I have sensitive skin but use a lot of products that contain niacinamide and it's never been an issue. The best thing is to be aware that it can cause issues and monitor your skin as you use products with it to understand your unique skin tolerances.

[@TaylorLeeKnow]

I'm already using cosrx essence but can I use the ginseng essence together with it as a toner?

[@KellyDriscoll]

Yes!

[@Labrexa]

🐝

[@clementeen]

How do you use the cosrx retinol cream? is it the last step of day time skincare or is it a PM application? If it is AM application is there any area of the skin to avoid ie. can it be placed near the eyes? Also is there any actives it will clash with? Thank you so much. New subscriber

[@KellyDriscoll]

Retinol is best applied at night, it's the last step of your routine, either on top of or under your final moisturizer (on top of moisturizer can help if you have sensitive skin). Avoid eye area. Best to avoid combining Benzoyl peroxide, AHA or BHA with retinol in the same routine, they can be applied in separate routines.

[@clementeen]

thank you so much. I came back to this video and left another comment 😁 this time for toner

[@user-en8he4ph6n]

How does the Cosx retinol hold up against the BOJ retinal cream?

[@ambergerhelper7852]

I’d still go for the BOJ since it’s a retinaldehyde. 👍🏻

[@clementeen]

I have the Cosrx 95 and I really want to get the Beauty of Joseon and layer them together but BOTH have niacinamide in them so if I add them together that will be too much niacinamide. I also have niacinamide in the rest of my skincare routine. So should I get the Mixoon? I really need a toner to go with the Cosrx essence

[@KellyDriscoll]

Mixsoon is not a great toner product, more of a true essence in my opinion. If you want something hydrating without niacinamide I'd recommend Make Prem Essence Toner or Round Lab Dokdo Toner!

[@clementeen]
