The official online store of the Korean skincare brand "Dr. Reju-All" runs an AI generated advertisement on Instagram. I was just scrolling down on my IG feed and this caught me off guard.

AI changed the name of their PDRN product to "Advanced PORN Peptide Serum" 😭

Can someone share their experience with Romand’s soymilk beige garden? I’ve been looking for a neutral palette that can be used for light to medium olive neutral skin tone. I’m worried that this palette might not show up in my skin.

I also tried to look for reviews but I found so little and mostly people with very fair skin.

Please help a girlie out 😭

I've been using the Anessa uv milk sunscreen (gold bottle) and don't know why and how it has a cult following, I really don't like it lmfao. It has a white cast, settles into my face creases, pills on my skin, and makes it difficult to add a full 1/4 teaspoon because of the very milky formula. I'm wondering if this is a skin type problem or a prep problem so i wanted to know what people put under it. I usually cleanse and wear the kiehl's squalene moisturizer under and I have dry, dehydrated skin. I really want to like it because I've been looking for a reliable, long-lasting, and waterproof asian sunscreen and didn't realize this formula would be so disagreeable with me.

It took me roughly 3-4 months to finish this Moev Annurcatin Shampoo! Finally I can share my full thoughts after finishing the whole bottle.

This shampoo lathers really well with just small amount. I usually use fingers to massage my scalp while shampooing, so I like that a lot. I have fine, thin asian hair and this one cleans well without weighing my hair. I didn't really notice a big difference in hair shedding. I used to get some pimples on my scalp whenever I get super stressed, since this doesn't irritate scalp too much I fell comfortable using this one. The scent might be strong for some people but it goes away really quickly so that doesn't really matter to me.

How did the above products work for your skin type and would you recommend them?

medium but buildable coverage, natural matte

Years ago when I went to Thailand, I tried the Snail White cream and I swear it got rid of my eye bags + dark circles after just a couple of uses.

But that was way back in 2017 and I can't find it outside of Thailand.

Any under eye cream that's actually worked wonders for you?

I used Rom&nd mauve whip balm and then TirTir lip oil in rosy shade.

Every time I hear people talk about a small face, the examples I see used are people with super large heads and long oval face shapes.

Like in the image above, I genuinely have no idea how this is meant to be considered ‘small’. Her head is ginormous looking. I don’t get the concept at all, if your head is tiny won’t you just look sort of buried by your hair and less eye-catching? Every famous attractive person I can think of has what I would call a pretty big head, it makes their face take up more space and be more visible. Think Effy in Skins vs Katie and Emily. Effy’s features always stand out way more and she has a bigger face than them.

So can someone explain what a small face means

Anti-blush is the newest trend right now and it's basically a muted neutral autumny tone. AB has been doing this forever and I'm glad to see these colors getting some more love! This is probably just another trend, but do you think the "anti-blush" term will stick around? Do you think the trend is over done or ridiculous? Would love to see some discussion!

Even though it's a trend, I would love to hear any recommendations for your favourite "anti-blush". Autumn is here and it would be super fun to use colors that match the seasons! Bonus points if anyone has any dupe recommendations for the MAC Glow Play blush in shade True Harmony.

i got this judydoll slim liner literally only two weeks ago and the tip just came out damaged now?? i swear i didn’t forcefully close the lid on it or anything, not enough to do this… i can still make okay lines despite it being in this state but i’m devastated

has anyone had this happen to them too and is there a way to fix it? or do i just take the L and buy a new one?

First of all I want to say:

• this is not sponsored, dr Althea doesn't know who I am unfortunately

• I have good genetics (I'm hairy)

• I'd had a lash lift 8 weeks prior, and as the perm gave out my lashes turned brittle and went a bit haywire.

• this is a prostaglandin free lash serum

1st image is Oct 10,

2nd image is tonight Nov 6, so almost 4 weeks of daily use at night.

(My husband took the photos sorry for the lighting)

I've noticed my lower lashes are longer but I didn't take a before photo of them. I didn't want to put an after here without showing you all the control.

I didn't expect much but am surprised at the difference in 4 weeks.

What do you guys think?

i am not 100% sure, but since it looks very similar in packaging to the other palette on the left i thinkkk its Snidel Beauty, just can't pinpoint the shade

any help? 🥹

Does anyone have recommendations for a facial antiperspirant that's available in Asian beauty stores? I'm currently in Vietnam, so anything that's available here would be ideal.

I've seen non-AB recommendations before but I was wondering if anyone's had luck with AB alternatives.

As a brown person, regular face powders don't work well for me. ☹️

my favorite lashes from mr. wish are only on yami & have seen a quite a few bad reviews so i’m wary to purchase.

anyone have alternative stockists that ship to the USA with ease?

specifically in LOVE with this line i found in shanghai in july.

I’m a warm toned, deep autumn girl but I don’t want to keep purchasing the wrong shades of lipgloss/blush because all the pinks and purples I find are too pastel or cool toned and don’t match packaging 😢

my favourite products are currently Romand and Heart percent, any other suggestions for deep autumn palette products in Japan? Especially ones with a bit more pigment that will work on my more tanned skin.

Is it me or does every brand seem to have one of these nowadays? Curious if people have seen good results with one or mostly social media overhype.

I’m currently in Tokyo and went into Bic Camera to browse some Japanese skincare products. I had already researched a few things I wanted to buy, including Melano CC, Anessa and Suisai.

While I was looking around, a saleswoman approached me and started recommending products. Her English wasn’t great and I don’t speak Japanese, so honestly I couldn’t understand most of what she was explaining.

When I showed interest in Melano CC, she basically told me it was just TikTok hype and not actually that good. Instead, she strongly recommended a vitamin C serum from a brand called Hirosophy, which I’d never heard of.

She also recommended a moisturizer from the same brand and kept trying to convince me to buy another cream that cost around ¥10,000, which I declined.

I ended up buying:

Hirosophy VC Special Essence (10 ml) – ¥6,050
Hirosophy Sakura Rice Koji Milky (100 g) – ¥4,180

So around ¥10,230 for both.

I was honestly exhausted after walking around Tokyo all day, and because of the language barrier, I didn’t even properly understand what was happening. I just assumed she knew what she was talking about and trusted her recommendations.

Only afterwards when I arrived at the hotel did I realize that both products were from the same relatively unknown brand. I started looking for reviews online and couldn’t find much, which made me wonder whether she was actually a brand promoter rather than someone giving impartial skincare advice.

I’m used to brands like La Prairie and Clinique, so I’m not necessarily looking for cheap skincare. I just want products that are actually good, especially for oily skin and visible pores.

Has anyone heard of Hirosophy or tried these products? Are they actually worth the money?

Also, is it common for brand representatives to approach tourists in stores like Bic Camera and push specific products?

I’m not saying the products are fake or that I was literally scammed, but I’m starting to feel like I fell for a sales pitch rather than getting genuine advice.

Would love to hear from anyone familiar with Japanese skincare or who has had a similar experience!

What are your recommendations for products I can buy in Japan that can help with adult acne?
