Personally I would stay away from fragrances in general, parfum being an endocrine disruptor and very likely to agitate your acne if present in skin products.

Are you interested in good sunscreens? Unironically the "ISEHAN - Kiss Me Mommy UV Aqua Milk SPF 50+ PA++++" one is the best quality for price I've seen (more safe ingredients too but it does have acrylates), has no white cast, and is kind of hydrating & shouldn't impact acne skin. It's technically j-beauty & I've been using it for 3+ years now

I just realized my fave lipstick is also Isehan and I never noticed

, it's hydrating enough but is a little pricier for the amount you get, it's called kiss lip arrow

Is there anything specific you're looking for? "MISSHA - Vita C Plus Spot Correcting & Firming Ampoule" is great as a Vitamin C serum (and it was a super hot product in Japan last year, although u can buy it off of Amazon), and "Beauty of Joseon - Light On Serum Centella + Vita C" is super gentle as a light moisturizer (I use it on days when it's not really dry, but you can also buy this off of Amazon).

I just checked the sunscreen and it's an ORGANIC KID FRIENDLY one. That's the safest i can go with sunscreens... does it leave a white cast though?

I'm looking for a toner for pores and blemishes and there are toooons on yesstyle i'm getting indecisive. Which brand would you recommend?

I'm definitely purchasing the Vita c Ampoule for the discoloration

I'm not sure i'd get the lipstick tho! That's crazy expensive from where i come from lol

How do you find it so far? Boj is all over the internet but i don't know if it's as effective as the influencers claim it is

u should probably get sunscreen !!
ive never found a sunscreen that wsnt sticky in germany (they all claim to be non sticky ... but they are still sticky)
the ones i now use is from bioré, (aqua rich UV lsf 50) which is a japanese brand. but ive heard very good things abt korean brand as well. i def recommend asian sunscreen brands .... as someone with oily skin, they dont clogg up my pores and dont make me feel like im a glue stick

I think i'll get 3 sunscreens. COSRX, Isehan and this one you recommended. I just have one question: does it leave a white cast?

i dont think so, but im also literally as white as u can possibly be as a human myself ... but it absorbs really fast into the skin. the only thing that might not be to everyones liking is that the bioré sunscreen smeells citrussy

I don't mind the smell as long as it's not too strong.

Thank youuuuu for your recommendation. I really appreciate it

OMG this!!! I've been waiting for someone to mention some by mi because i've been hearing so much about it but since i'm a sceptic human being i always look for real life reviews instead of influencer review before i purchase.

Have you only used the cleanser in their line?

yess only cleanser, i don't use it that much since the foam isn't as nice and i don't get as many breakouts anymore so i can't be a solid reviewer. However i have never gotten any irritations from it so in that aspect it's great =)

can't speak on it's anti acne effects though

ive tried a few brands, but i have dry skin so it might not work as well for acne prone hmm...
im currently using the roundlab dokdo cleanser and toner, skin1004 madagascar centella ampoule (magic in a bottle fr), and dr. althea 345 relief cream
during summer i dont need as much hydration as in the winter, so i use purito water cream instead of the relief cream
for sunscreen ive tried boj and skin1004, i think i prefer the skin1004 one!

also idk where you are located, but yesstyle usually takes a long time to arrive
there could be other online stores that also carries k-beauty that ships to you? but again, i dont know where you are located haha so it might not be the case for you ofc
