items For context, I have combo (sort of leaning oily) skin and I live in a dry climate with low humidity. I'm also acne prone and niacinamide breaks me out. This is just what I experienced with these products. I've used all of them for at least 1 full wee...

Korean Skincare
10/10 - THE GOAT of all skincare. I'd recommend this to anyone. At least try it once to see if it suits your skin because if it does, it's so worth it. It's not oily at all, no white cast, absorbs into the skin fast, and doesn't feel like it's sittin...
SKIN 1004 - Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF50
8/10 - It calms my skin down immediately, so it helps with acne flare ups. It's also pretty hydrating. That's pretty much all it did for me, but the calming the skin part used to be very important to me so I used this for a while. I don't use it anym...
SKIN 1004 - Madagascar Centella Asiatica Ampoule
6.5/10 - It didn't do that much for my skin. My skin did look less dull, and it did tone down the appearance of pores but only by a little bit. It was hydrating though. Didn't break me out at all. It has worked for some people though
SKIN 1004 - Madagascar Centella Poremizing Fresh Ampoule
0/10 - UGH it broke me out!!! I hated the fact that it did because I love SKIN 1004 and thought all their products would be good for me. The reviews on yesstyle for this is very positive though. But I have no idea why it broke me out… it was the only...
SKIN 1004 - Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Essence Toner
9/10 - A solid cleansing oil. It does the job great and doesn't feel gross on my skin or anything. Didn't break me out, but did give my roommate fungal acne on her forehead (she has normal/dry skin, not very acne-prone, just has like small phases of ...
Anua - Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil
10/10 - Man idk what they put in this but it's so good and so effective. It's the best pimple patch I've tried
COSRX - Acne Pimple Master Patch
9/10 - This is the one that's supposed to not stand out when it's on your skin. It's actually… very good at doing that. I was pleasantly surprised. It's also very effective. I didn't give a 10/10 cause it wouldn't be fair for the COSRX master pimple ...
COSRX - Clear Fit Master Patch
7/10 - Sure it's hydrating, but it's not very moisturizing. This alone is NOT enough as a moisturizer, even after like 2 layers of it. But it's a great addition to a skincare routine that needs hydration and glow and “glass skin-ness”
COSRX - Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream
7.5/10 - It gives a very nice glow to my skin. I have repurchased this, and I'm currently using it daily (day and night) as my toner. It's also very hydrating
COSRX - Full Fit Propolis Synergy Toner
8/10 - This is a GREAT moisturizer for my skin type. But one day it wasn't enough for -25 C Albertan winters. I was depressed because I thought I finally find my moisturizer. But if you live in a moderately humid environment this would be perfect
COSRX - Oil Free Ultra Moisturizing Lotion with Birch Sap
10/10 - It's a liiittle expensive but it's so great. It makes my face look so hydrated and plump. It DOES make a visible difference on my skin. I'm broke but I keep buying this even though there's so many other hyaluronic acid products that are cheap...
Torriden - DIVE-IN Low Molecule Hyaluronic Acid Serum
8/10 - Sometimes it's enough as a moisturizer, but sometimes it isn't and gives me dry patches. But it's very soothing and feels great on the skin. I wouldn't buy this over the Torriden dive-in hyaluronic serum though, but if for some reason you don'...
DIVE-IN Low Molecular Hyaluronic Acid Soothing Cream
9.5/10 - Honestly so good. I haven't been using this as long as the Dear Klairs soothing cream, but this is very good at keeping me moisturized throughout the day (which a lot of creams can't do). If you live in Canada then this is also significantly...
ILLIYOON - Ceramide Ato Concentrate Cream
6.5/10 - It's calming indeed HOWEVER it gives me dry patches. Sometimes even when I use a moisturizer over it. I couldn't figure out the science behind that but yeah. It do be soothin though. Great if you live in a humid environment
iUNIK - Centella Calming Gel Cream
6.8/10 - It served its purpose so I didn't wanna give it a measly 6. It did me good when I first got onto Korean skincare, because I was able to buy it for cheap on Amazon. It's hydrating. It's a toner. But it didn't do too much for me. I've bought t...
Pyunkang Yul - Facial Essence Toner
Non-Korean Skincare
10/10 - Unfortunately (cause it's $$) it's the best cleanser I've tried😔 Pros: cleanses your skin well, doesn't make skin feel tight afterwards, makes skin feel hydrated, gives you a nice glow after using it. Cons: expensive😔
Superfood Antioxidant Cleanser - Youth To The People | Sephora
4/10 - it felt nice on the skin I guess, but it gave me milia. There's way better moisturizers for a lot less $
