I used Innisfree for years as my primary brand and I have suuuuuuper sensitive skin. Yeah, the products smell really nice, it's something I love about them, but they smell like their primary ingredient. The orchid line, smells like orchids and the green tea smells like tea. The strength varies by the line since some scents are just stronger than other but it does not detract from the products effectiveness in any way.

I think we need a part 2 with Benton, Sioris, Purito, iUnik, Mizon, Missha, Wishtrend and Beauty of Joseon.

Hey Hyram, I’ve been meaning to address this for a while. I have tried to stay quiet about it but you’re really starting to harm my health. I have asthma. Your skin literally took my breath away in this video.

Nature republic has been my favorite brand for 7 years since I moved to Korea! It is actually quite underrated and they have soo many different lines! They have an aqua line, cica, bee venom, snail, and aloe! So there’s definitely something for everyone! Also a lot of these brands you mentioned are not all necessarily popular for their skincare but rather their makeup or haircare, like tonymoly which is mostly popular for its makeup

Missing so many good brands: iunik, missha, beauty of joseon, etude house, mizon...

For the newbies We love Salicylic Acid We love Niacinamide We don’t like fragrance We hate denatured alcohol No micro beads We do not like citrus in skincare especially lemon We don’t like scrubs We don’t like makeup wipes St Ives apricot scrub is a foot scrub We don’t like Mario Badescu but drying lotion is an exception We Stan Cera Ve, The Ordinary, The Inkey List, Paulas choice and Krave Beauty We looooove sunscreen

You should do a video ranking "clean" beauty brands and if they actually have good products

Well, I just have to say, I have not tried any other products by them, but as a 55 yr old who baked in the sun and didn’t wear sunscreen regularly until my 40s, the Innisfree UV defense SPF 35 sunscreen is literally the sunscreen that worked well enough for me that I started wearing it religiously every day. No white cast, moisturizing, doesn’t make my eyes water, and works great under makeup.

I love how supportive everyone in the skincare community is and how clear it is you all speak behind the scenes and band together ( *cough* LOOKING AT YOU KEEP COOL *cough* )

CosRX and Dear Klairs are two Korean brands that haven’t done me any wrong, ever.

Absolutely obsessed: Rovectin Clean, Krave Beauty, Isntree I'll still buy it: Then I Met You, Primera, Some by Mi, Dear Klairs, I'm From, Pyunkang Yul, CosRX Squeamish: Dr. Jart, Neogen, The Face Shop, Nature Republic Utter disappointment: Laniege, Keep Cool, Tony Moly, Innisfree, Amore Pacific

Speaking of Korean skin care, I’m interested in his opinions on Etude House’s Soon Jung line

I always find it so crazy how skin care works so different for each person 😂 I tried CeraVe a few months ago after seeing everyone raving about it and it literally made me break out so much I had to stop using it after a few months. I even got a rash on my neck that was super itchy and that comes back every other week since then (I’m still trying to get rid of it, any tips? ☹️). But then I started using Innisfree a couple of weeks ago because a friend got me a few samples. And let me tell you, I fell in love so hard that I had to buy more. It had been months since my skin looked this good and hydrated! 🤩💕 I have dry sensitive skin and I don’t really think I’m sensitive to their fragrance, I actually kind of like it. It makes the whole experience of skincare more relaxing to me 🙊

fun fact about amorepacific- I often am in Korea due to family, and Amorepacific actually owns a ton of land in Jeju where they grow different botanicals (lots of green tea) as organically and away from pollution as possible. Theyre also very transparent about how everything is run and personally handled-the gardens are actually open to the public and you can also buy all the teas they grow! (they also make a great green tea cake haha) It’s definitely one of the most expensive brands (along with Su:m37, Hera, history of whoo, etc), but I have noticed that it is the most popular expensive brand Koreans will buy over comparably priced western skincare brands which are very popular.

Thanks Dr Rattan! For sensitive skin, I’d highly recommend a very well-known K-skincare product called “Zeroid Soothing Cream”. In fact, loads of board-certified dermatologists based in S. Korea recommend this product for sure :) This product has an excellent reputation for its MLE technology, which UC San Francisco researchers also approved that it actually helps restoring your skin lipid barrier! I think you should try and review this product some time, please!

This I needed! I am obsessed with Korean skincare it has changed my skin so much!!! k-beauty has introduced me to so many good ingredients and spfs!

Who else’s skin went 📈 because of Hyram?

Can you talk about Japanese skincare products!?🤓 I don’t think I’ve seen you talk about them before and aim super curious !

I actually changed my Cerave cleanser (that I bought after seeing on this chanel) to the Innisfree truecare calamine 6.5 cleanser and I like it better! It's great ony body too~ Also I really agree with your opinion, that lots of big Korean skinfood companies like Tony Moly tries to sell their products with aesthetics, like cutsey stuff that contains shitty ingredients. Not surprising that their stores are slowly disappearing. However I live in Korea but the brands on your list, I actually never heard about 70%of them 😂 I missed some great, big brands from the list like :holikaholika, aestura, skinfood, etude house (the good lines like soon jung or ac clean up) espoir, saem~ They are the popular ones between avarage people based on my observations from skincare ranking sites like Glowpick.

i feel like most brand that were mentioned are the ones the Korean market targets toward the west whereas in actual Korea these brand wouldn't be as popular, I've noticed the same thing in russia, they have brands marketed as Korean that i've never seen a Korean person even talk about

It's worth of mention that Innisfree, Laneige and Dr Jart are not Cruelty-free. I think I need to try more of Isntree this year 🙌🏻

Hyram your videos are in desperate need of: 1. Time stamps 2. Clickable images or links for the final tier grid

Innisfree gentle care line is the best. Fixed my skin barrier and I can’t live without it ❤️

I recently purchased a few items from Krave Beauty which I heard from this channel. Yes, yes, and yes. I’m loving that Great Barrier Reef serum for my dry skin and so layer-able. Thanks!

you know what, I’m really thinking about becoming a skin care esthetician. after watching your videos, I think I’ve found something I’m actually passionate about. 😭😭💜

I'm ashamed to say this but I didn't realize Instree and Innisfree were two separate brands until watching this video. Good to know, thanks Hyram

I bought the Cosrx Snail Mucin Serum because of you and it does so much for me! So thank you 🙌🏻❤️

One of my fave Korean skincare products is the Missha First Treatment Essence. It’s pretty popular and have been regarded as one of the affordable alternatives to SK-II minus the smell. I also like that the Missha essence has no alcohol or fragrance or essential oils. It doesn’t seem like much at the beginning but after using it for over 5 years consistently, I notice it has made some difference to my skin and does not cause my skin to break out. It’s compatible with most of my other skincare products so far as well.

I wish iUNIK will be feature on the list cause I love the brand so much😍 but still love this video😘

Hyram had single handedly helped everyone’s skin! We are forever thankful for you!

When you say " Every single Week" in the intro I dance a little bit lol! I love these ranking videos! So helpful! :)

9:42 Glad that hyram took a stand against the bullying towards his fellow youtubers and content creators. 👍🏻

I’ll always be obsessed with Korean Skincare, even with the craze of the “10 step skincare” a few years ago, I don’t understand how they are so underrated!

Hyram: tony moly->utter disappointment Me: *holding the tony moly peach lip balm* 👁👄👁

heads up for anyone buying isntree, I've ordered the toner from both Amazon and Stylevana, and it's about half the cost on Stylevana!! Also shipping took about 2 weeks either way, so definitely order from a Korean site!

I NEED a peach and Lily review 🥺

Me: I have errands to do Hyram: aloha everyone Also me: adult duties can wait 📺 👀

“Utter Disappointment” SIS DID NOT HOLD BACK BUT POP OFF

Many of the brands in utter disappointment & squeamish are the Korean equivalent of US entry level drug store brands (think Clean & Clear or Physician’s Formula). Instead of going to your local CVS or pharmacy section of the grocery store, these brands have these tiny shops like you’d see in a mall or strip mall situation, each pumping a different Kpop song. Often there’ll be an employee or 2 standing in front offering free samples or physically guiding people passing by into the store. And since the store is either off a street or doors open to the city air, you have all those fragranced products to give that instant spa-like effect when ppl are testing them. In Korea, brands like Innisfree & Tony Moly are definitely considered more of a brand for students. Not to say adults don’t use them too, but their target market seems more like high school/college + the occasional products that are more Olay-like that young professionals and occasionally moms will use.

I'd love the impossible... a list of rad products with great ingredients without a filter of fear over essential oils (i'm a big fan & so is my skin) and price (price to me is not a factor I judge a product on) since I judge on quality, ethics & energy. Yet still, adore you, Hyram!

I am kinda sad that you didn't put the brand 'Missha' into the tierlist. Because their sunscreens are soooo good and I wanted to hear your opinion on them

I was hoping you would include Etude House in it. Their “Soonjung” line have some nice formulas in my own opinion.

“Unless your leg is severed and you need a ride to the hospital that’s the only time to call me” SAME! I will literally just watch my phone ring and then text whoever it was immediately after and be like what’s up 😂 it’s gotten to the point where I’ll be on FaceTime with my sister and hang up and text her and be like I didn’t feel like talking anymore just text me 😂😂

Had a Chinese friend who told me Asian skin is different because of the genes-- not about the products.

Hyram's "absolutely obsessed" category 5:34- Rovectin Clean 9:19- Krave beauty 10:44- instree Your welcome 🙂

I wasn’t a fan of Korean brands until last year. The formulas are so amazing, really giving the results people are asking for, the prices are cheaper. For Western brands, the psychology behind is you have to pay the price higher to get the better results. For Korean brands, it is less likely to irritate the skin, there is ‘wow’ or ‘it’s okay’. There’s no inbetween. BUT, sunscreens!!! Their sunscreens are so easy to be obsessed with since applying on their skin.

I wish you could do one with French skincare, like Darphin, Caudalie, Clarins, Vichy, LRP, etc. For some reason their skincare really works for me.

I watch your videos all the time here in Korea! I haven’t tried any of your top 3 brands before. Krave Beauty is however sold out here every time I check 😩 when I knew nothing about skin care, I always bought everything from innisfree. One day I went to the Gangnam branch and showed them my membership card while paying to receive the special discount and promotions, I had a toooon of points and they told me “no, this is a Korean people discount only.” I was shocked, I had spent ridiculous amounts of money in their stores and am a resident here. Thank God it happened though, it forced me to research proper skin care and then I found your channel! Thank you for being so informative!

I thought I was going to see Purito and Sioris there too

am i the only one who dances to “every single weeeek” 💀✋🏽

the laneige lip mask literally has petroleum based ingredients like microcrystalline wax and silicones like dimethicone and y'all are still amazed by this 😭

if i had to pick only one brand of skincare from any country in the world that i will have to use for the rest of my life for all steps in my routine, it'll be isntree and wouldn't even think twice. they have a decent range, all products are clean and non-irritating, they work, and they don't break the bank. so underrated.

hey hyram! somi, a 19 year-old kpop artist also partnered with harper’s bazaar to show us her nighttime skincare routine. If you ever can, it’d be amazing if you’d react to it! Thank you sm, your advice have literally changed my skin❤️

No one: The paulas choice ad on literally every hyrax video:🧍🏻‍♀️

I was waiting the whole video to see if you talk about A’pieu and Pleaaaase check that out specifically The Carrot serum

Hey Hyram, I just wanted to say thank you so much for helping me clear my skin! I’ve learned so much🤍🤍🤍

there’s also this Korean skincare brand called Abib that I see no one talking about I don’t rly like their serum things but their moisturizers are amAziNg

The Dr. Jart Ceramide Cream has literally saved my skin from this dermatitis/irritation/whatever the hell is going on with my skin!!

i LOVE your channel :( and i love how educational you are while keeping it real. keep doing what you're doing!

Your skin care videos are so helpful! Thank you for all the time and effort you put into these videos!!

Hyram thank you for all you do! Would you consider talking about MLM skincare products and how shady they are? I have friends who joined Nu Skin and I just wish they would realise how predatory the brands are!

Who else is single for valentines day again this year🙋‍♀️

I would love to see a review of Skin Republic’s products. They are a Korean brand that mostly does face masks, eye masks, etc. and they are HUGE here in Australia.

the Laneige lip sleeping mask literally saved my lips from going to hell. T_T

i cant believe hyram would leave out iunik like that

I'm sorry but Korean Skincare continues to be CRIMINALLY underrated and underappreciated. They're truly head of the curve when it comes to formulation and quality. Cosrx is for sure my favorite skincare brand and even though I know hyram is really not for fragrance I love Glow Recipe too!

Yes! Would love love love a review video for TIMY. I've used their Balancing Duo before and am a fan (especially of the essence) but would love to hear your thoughts/ingredient breakdown/ etc. Thank you!!

I use SoftyMo Speedy Cleansing Oil and I absolutely love it. It removes every trace of my makeup without scrubbing but leaves my skin baby soft.

What about Benton, Purito, iUnik? Where would you put them? :)

Products Mentioned: Then I Met You Living Cleansing Balm ($38) - 4:13 Primera Clean Berry Lip Mask ($20) - 5:03 Rovectin Clean Lotus Water Cream ($20) - 5:38 Rovectin Clean Aqua Soothing UV Protector ($29) - 5:50 Isntree Green Tea Fresh Toner ($22) - 11:09 CosRX Advanced Snail Mucin ($26) - 15:46 (He also mentioned some other products but he didn't put the little blue blurb in the bottom right for those, so I didn't include them. Hope this helps!)

hyram, please don't apologize when you feel like you're giving a "hot take" on a brand or a product!! we all come here to hear about *your* experience with these things and i don't think there's anything nothing wrong having a negative or different opinion than everyone else. we've all been there - buying a product that's raved about and it has about the same effect as me slapping some water onto my face. if anything i appreciate your honesty and transparency, that's one of the many reasons why i started subscribing to you in the first place :) my acne journey's been 10+ years in the making, and honestly my skin's started being the best it's ever been since i began watching your videos. so thank you!!

So…. I happened upon one of your videos about skincare differences aaaaaannnnndddd now I’m subscribed!! You’re answering so many of my questions right now! I’m so happy 😁

claim your "here within an hour" ticket right here

I miss your “for the feet” category 😂

Hey Hyram! The Face Shop actually does have a line thats fragrance free and essential oil free. Its also dermatologically tested as well. Its called the Dr Belmeur line, with a clarifying line and a cica line to treat both oily and dry skin. Innisfree does have some fragrance free products as well! Both the bija cica balm and bija cica gel emphasise on Centella Asiatica for wound healing and acne scar healing. Definitely recommend them!

Aweee I am so sad about Innisfree ;-; their green tea line has helped me SO MUCH, specially the serum! I have SUPER SENSITIVE skin (like seriously…’goes red with anything’ type of sensitive) so it surprises me that you say it is irritant yet it doesn’t redden me :0 i am sorry it didn’t work for you :(

Hilarious that a brand called KEEP COOL threatened creators. Way to keep it cool 🤓

I'm pretty surprised that he didn't rank iunik or purito considering that he made separate videos for them. Also Missha is huge in the US

I have been using nature republic’s green tea line for years and I love it! Using their products have really changed my skin for the better!

Can you talk about Chinese skincare brands?I feel like most of them are unknown on the international market so I like to learn more about them.

So I went to Sephora to buy a couple things you recommended and a worker was trying to sell laneige to me..I said no thanks it has fragrance in it and I don’t use products with fragrance. She said “then you’re not going to find any products without fragrance” made me laugh 😂

I wanna see a video where Hyram shows us his skincare hoard/collection. He references it in every other video and I got to know how bad the addiction really is.

Had to come find this video again to say thanks Hyram!!!! You're how I discovered Rovectin and I have been OBSESSED for the last two years. Beautiful sunscreen and absolute holy grail of a moisturizer. Totally changed my skin. THANK YOU!!!!

this is SOOO helpful. i’m moving to korea next month & im very glad you made this video!!!

You absolutely should make a standalone video about the Purito sunscreen issue. I personally bought it on your recommendation, and only even heard about the lack of actual protection in the product from my sister. I really don't use other forms of social media so I would still be using it now if my sister hadn't told me. I wouldn't be surprised if others are still using it and have no idea about what has happened, and I'm disappointed that you haven't addressed the situation on KZfaq yet considering how much you've pushed and backed the sunscreen in the past. This could be massively damaging people's skin, and you have a responsibility to inform your audience on this platform what has happened.

Not 15 year old me having a bunch of skincare products suggested by Hyram on my shopping list but waiting until I’m 20 because I’m too scared to ask my parents to buy me some-

YAY!!!! i just bought a ton of isntree after trying their little sampler pack and i’m obsessed with it as well, so stoked it gets your stamp of approval! i seriously want to buy THE ENTIRE LINE. halp.

Interesting on the Innisfree, I use the cherry blossom toner and moisturizer and I love it. There is a slight fragrance but for me it’s barely there and it’s been really good for my skin

As soon as he said: "I'm just like, wow, you had so much going for you, you had so much opportunity, and you were set up for success... and you just disappointed all of us." I immediately thought, "KEEP COOL?!" P.S. Other brands that I think should be in Part 2: Purito, IUNIK, Benton, Sioris, Wishtrend, Missha, Beauty of Joseon!

“Are you not UM-BARR-ASSED, this is REALLY uM-bAr-rAsS-iNg” 💀💀💀

That is exactly how I feel about Then I Met You. Pricey but so good 😊

Standing up for small time content creators, I love you more now. 💙💙💙

His absolutely obsessed are Rovectin Clean, Krave, and Isntree

The amount of happiness I felt when I saw the brands I use daily in "absolutely obsessed" and "I'll still buy it" 'cause I have to confess I was a bit afraid to watch this when I read the title 😂

8:20 lmao i went back in the video and this part sounded so funny without context

i’ve been using the nature republic super aqua max watery toner and even though it does have a fragrance it’s one of the best toners i’ve ever used. it gives you this healthy glow and hydrates without causing any breakouts on sensitive skin like mine. it’s also absolutely affordable. honestly it’s the best product in their aqua line
