[@amazingme88]

Hi Dr, cosmetic tocicologist from Dubai here. PA ++++ just means that the PPD rating is above 16. There are sunscreens with PPD rating of 22 such as the Altruist brand and they still are labelled as PA ++++. It's unfair to claim that you would expect the highest UVA protection from Beauty of Joseon's sunscreen based on 1 filter's highest UVA peak to be 354nm when the overall formulation has a PA rating of ++++. No chemical filters have a peak absorption at 400nm. Are you implying that in that case, ALL chemical sunscreens are unsuitable for skin of colour? Another relevant assessment that i wished you would have made for us SOC family is that BOJ sunscreen has Tinosorb M which is a hybrid filter and quite often gives a white cast. But overall, thank you Dr for being a beacon for us SOC family and i truly appreciate everything you're doing for us ❤🎉.

The Dynasty cream actually has a little spatula you can use so you don’t have to dip your fingers into it. When you opened the package on this video, it must have thrown the spatula to one side because I can see the spatula on your table.

[@lotfang]

Mine came with a spoon .. but i bought the tube version this time

[@stephanieasoh]

The spatula is actually on the table if you look closely, she probably didn’t see it.

[@oceaneo4603]

Yeah ! Right.

[@RenukaBlyth]

Love this format, more korean skincare please, maybe numbuzin ❤️

[@vanitarattan]

Will do x

[@lavayuki]

I love this brand and used all their products so far. My favourites were the Cleansing Balm, Red bean mask, Glow Replenishing Rice Milk, Deep glow serum with arbutin, Propolis serum, Dynasty cream, both of the sunscreens and sunstick, and the vitamin c cream in the green tube. I am using the rice and honey mask at the moment as well, it's ok but I don't really like the smell. I quite liked the sheet masks too. I find that BoJ make great quality products.

[@vanitarattan]

[@Luciana_TK]

It'd be nice to have a summary table with all the ratings of all the products (some didn't have a score). Thank you for doing this!

[@laurilee2323]

Just want to note with the first up product, Dynasty Cream, which Vanita commented on unhygienic dipping into the jar, she dropped the spatula that comes with the product as she unboxed. So they did think of hygiene (does rely of people washing the spatula between use). Also, although not an airless pump, there is a twice the size tube (100ml) so no dipping required, and ends up more economic per mil. If she finds a random small clear plastic spatula on the floor, that’s what it’s from. You can see it falling in the video. The spatula is a nice size for the amount of product needed and holding onto for getting to the bottom of the jar without sticking you hand in it, so too long for under the screw lid and on top of the plastic lid that just sits on the jar lip. So kinda had to sit loose in the box unless they invested in some specialty attachment. Also the ginseng retinal eye cream packaging, even though she didn’t comment on it, looks like the mini (half size freebies you get with purchase) rather than the 30ml tube pump. It’s the same kind of tube pump as the centella vitamin C serum, just a different colour. I got a vit C half size freebie and it lasted quite a while. Wasn’t irritating at all and I’m someone who has avoided skin care most of my life because of irritation. BTW, the tube pump isn’t a straw pump, the tube shrinks down as product is used, but does appear to rely on storing the product upright to product seal it as I suspect if it lay on the side and settled, it would allow air in. There is perhaps a little air that gets in, so not completely vacuum sealed. I also think there is problem with dismissing a sunscreen because it has a particular blocker that isn’t FDA approved. That’s more to do with incentives to try to get ingredients approved by FDA, who is going to put up the money to run the safety protocols to push an ingredient through. K beauty products have a big enough market they don’t need to tackle one countries approval process. I’ve heard the poor formulation of American sunscreens has a lot to do with the limited range of blockers approved and the low impetus due to the cost for companies to push newer blockers through the FDA process. Globally it makes the US quite hobbled in sunscreens. So unless FDA approval was sought and refused on safety grounds, it’s a pretty meaningless statement to say something isn’t FDA approved. FDA isn’t the be all and end all in a global setting, just one country’s cumbersome process which serves to gate keep as such. Americans seem obsessed with the FDA, the rest of the world, not so much, unless you make inflammatory comments like “not FDA approved” in a way that infers it was tested and failed. Still, the Sun Relief is the nicest sunscreen I have ever used, and I would not put a western sunscreen on my face again until they seriously upped their game. I’ve suffered huge amount of sun damage because of how awful all the sunscreens available were (and I’m not financially in the market for La Roche Posey which is the one people have good things to say about western sunscreens) and just couldn’t bring myself to reapply Western sunscreens as well as only using in extreme situations. And I’ve heard, the best sunscreen is the one you are willing to wear. I’ll try other Korean sunscreens, most will probably have blockers that haven’t been put before the FDA, and frankly I don’t care, some day the FDA will catch up (or not, to one nation’s detriment), and in the interim I’ll have saved myself from more sun damage. Other countries have regulatory processes as well. My understanding from BOJ website is they have removed the essential oils and niacinamide from the sun serum sunscreen to better suit sensitive skin. So if you are smelling fragrance and reading essential oils this will be the old version, no bitter orange (or all the other essential oils) in the current formulation. Still has alcohol in it as the 7th ingredient. I’ll still try this to see if it’s even lighter and nicer to wear than the Sun Relief. And the peeling gel, where you said you felt beads also isn’t a fair assessment given it’s cellulose which bunches up into fibres. Somewhat different from beads which brings to mind micro-plastics a harsh abrasives like ground apricot pits, which this is not. Never tried the product but I’ve seen enough other reviewers by people who took the time explain how it works and what it is not. For the folk who like a cellulose peeling gel, many of them being ethnically Korean and as such people with skin of colour (I tan, heavily, and hyperpigment), saying it feels like it has beads is a pretty wrong representation. I’m unlikely to use this product because my issues are hyperpigmentation and milia and I’m so menopausal that dewy glass skin is not really in my objectives, but rather basic ageing. Feels like this was a slap dash sloppy assessment of the range of products because you had too many products to run through. Not a good format. And not everyone wears waterproof eyeliner like you do, so maybe more realistic types of makeup for removal alongside your crazy stubborn eyeliner would have been a fairer gauge of cleanser removing power. Good that you showcased the cleanser against something that extreme, but really, how about people who just want to remove normal eyeliner, lipstick, foundation and concealer. Those are the basics you should be able to show, as well as the stuff that is designed to be unbudgeable. I rarely wear make up and usually just a cc cream to even out my hyperpigmentation, occasionally I’ll go for for more, but in the past when I’ve bought long wear products, I’ve bought the companion remover too. It comes across as a severe kind of bias that’s designed to fail products, which along with the sloppy reviewing compounds a sense of biased reviewing.

[@shyintrovertdigitalmom]

I think for green plum refreshing toner, it’s still ok to use it as long as it’s not twice a a day. You can only use it at night or maybe 2 or 3x a week cuz it’s not even a strong ingredient, the glycolic for sure is not over 5% which Dr. V recommended. Don’t just say “I don’t recommend” just because it says use twice a day in the instructions. You can always adjust to it.

[@vanitarattan]

I personally never recommend glycolic for skin of colour. There are better options for us as I only recommend the best to our SOC family xx

[@shyintrovertdigitalmom]

@@vanitarattan I’m confused, i remember before you mentioned atleast not higher than 5% is fine

I have been using the revive eye serum and the ginseng essence water for a few months, quite like the results. I am disappointed with the relief sun SPF50 review as I was also using it the last couple of months, hopefully sun damage to my skin is minimal (fingers crossed). Now, I have ordered the sheet masks and honey glow mask for my sister and myself.
