Love that skinfood essence and I have DRY skin. Also fun fact in case anyone hasn't noticed: you don't have to push the pump button and fill the dropper because screwing the cap all the way on depresses it. So it's already primed when you unscrew it, you dispense into your hand to use, and then when you screw the cap back on it pops back down. Neato! (good luck with the algorithm)

I've been curious about that PKY moisture balm, thank you for trying! I love their Nutrition Cream and like to layer that up but sometimes I want something more occlusive for some areas, this sounds absolutely perfect. Pyungkang Yul also make a Balancing Gel which sounds fascinating to me, it's apparently a slightly weird gel oil last step occlusive? I gonna try in winter though i think. Oh also if you have dry skin around eyes or want a heavier eye cream their Black Tea Seed eye cream is heavenly. I have combination dehydrated skin and I like trying their products so much.

Disappointing for Skin1004 to add limonene and linalool into the cleansing oil. I feel they market to sensitive skin types but those two are known sensitizers. And yes, I have an aquired sensitivity to one so no Skin1004 cleansing oil for me. 😭

Argh yeah - I think it's listed because it's part of the essential oils they used rather than intentionally added, I think it's part of the wider K-beauty trend towards "natural" and "EWG Green Grade" even though all the evidence points towards essential oils being a problem 😒

For instance lipstick is ingested through the mouth quite often etc

After using a cleansing balm that contains bergamot oil I realized that it is not for me - the smell feels suffocating (I can't wash it off fast enough) so now I avoid it at all cost. Luckily the balm was a sample size. Also, the Jumiso vitamin serum does nothing for me. Instead I'm using The Yeon's Vta C-nergy vitamin cream which has a gel consistency but not sticky. My only gripe is that it is not frangrance-free.

Hi!! I have been following your channel for a while and always direct people to it either by sharing your posts or just telling them "Subscribe now!!" 😄 I have a question related to Vitamin C. I saw your Part 1 on L ascorbic acid and you touched on the topic of Kakadu plum. I know it isn't new but I still am troubled by the "it has 100× more Vitamin C than an orange but I see it mixed in with all kinds of products and don't know what percentage of Vitamin C it has or if it is as effective as LA-A. I have heard it is gentle I have heard it is more potent 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️Headache!! I bought a product from Derma-E called Ultra lift DMAE concentrated serum ( don't expect a facelift) but got it for the Resveratrol, copper peptides and....Kakadu plum. It is really bugging me! How copper peptide and Vitamin C?! Could you maybe do a short on this? Or perhaps it will be in Vitamin C the sequel!! Can't wait😊

I reacted to the skinfood propolis essence so bad which was soooo upsetting cuz I really really wanted to like it. lil storytime Around the time I started using it my skin suddenly got really itchy and had a weird texture so I dialled EVERYTHING back for about a month to just cleansing and moisturising with the moisturiser i've been using exclusively for years, then I tried to introduce things back into my routine and I reacted again so I dialled it all back once again for a few months until my skin calmed down but the second I used this essence again my skin was right back to where I started in regards to irritation so I just never used it again. I didn't have any friends who would want to use it except maybe my best friend, but since she didn't know much about this product and all she knows is she has more sensitive skin than me and my skin reacted really badly to this product I figured she wouldn't want to use it either so I ended up throwing it out which broke my heart cuz everything about it sounded so good and I love using things with honey and I loved the packaging too, but I guess maybe my skin had a reaction to the propolis as it was the first time I used a product with it whereas products i've used with honey and royal jelly usually calm my skin down. All the benefits of this product and propolis specifically were all things I needed in my routine at the time so it was such a shame it didn't agree with me.

To be fair, I don't think Skinfood's thing is the whole clean or green beauty thing. It sure does seem like it with all the food themes but their advertisments, the ones I saw anyways, were more of the food for skin or using things good enough to eat to make something for the skin then the somewhat holier then thou whole chemical bad!! natural stuff better!!! type of attitude we see from most clean or green brands especially in the west.
