APLB is so underrated. I use their Glutathione Niacinamide Ampoule and its sooo good.

Your comment about using too high of a retinoid and it leading to dry, dehydrated skin is a lesson I learned the hard way.

For a few years I thought my skin had just become dry due to aging, without considering the strength of my tretinoin. Since I'd graduated in strength so slowly (over 4+ years), I hadn't even considered it to be a factor. Over the last year, I've dropped to using retinaldehyde and .025% strength tret most nights and my skin has never looked better, but it's been a bit of an identity crisis. My skin has switched back to oily and now has completely different requirements 🙃

TirTir is a holy grail product for me as is the Laneige Cica Sleeping Mask I highly recommend for dry mature skin.

I love the Dear Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Cream. It's never too heavy for my oily skin in the summer, but it's rich enough for the winter. It's recommended for dry skin, so it took me a long time to try it. I also absolutely love the Cosrx oil free moisturizer.

I have dry skin that's both acne-prone & eczema-prone, living in the US Northeast, & Korean moisturizers & toners are amazing for my skin. I've used Pyunkang Yul Calming Moisture Repair Balm (winter), Pyunkang Yul Intensive Repair Moisturizer Cream (winter), Etude SoonJung 2x Barrier Intensive Cream (winter), COSRX Ultimate Nourishing Rice Overnight Spa Mask (anytime), & COSRX Full Fit Propolis Light Cream (summer). And if I listed the amazing toners I've used, we'd be here all day.

Good content. I am 62. My skin has different needs. And I play with Korean moisturisers. Among Mary and May Idobenone intense cream. Rovectin. APLB. ❤

Ive used Moisture Bomb by Belif for several years. I love it. I have combination skin and the cream worked amazingly for me. …maybe not during hot and humid summers but year-round otherwise. I tried other moisturizers in the US but always went back to it. The fact that it’s also Korean makes me open to trying some of the products you mentioned. Thank you so much for this video ❤️

The APLB cream have been my first discovery of the brand with their serum ! I now have a full skincare routine of just APLB product lol They came out with a cleansing water recently and it's great to have to refresh my face in the morning instead of a full foam cleanser moment 😇 Love all their product for my sensitive AF skin ~

Dr. Sam, I am a new subscriber. I have learned so much from you in the last month. I have a background in medicine, and I am married to a doctor. Thank you for being the voice of reason in a complicated jungle of pharmacopeia!

Any Pyunkang Yul blue bottles for sensitive skin. I had perioral dermatitis for a spell and had to stop using EVERYTHING. My dermatologist had me stop using even face washes and moisturizers just to stop the dermatitis. The dryness of my skin from not moisturizing was just as irritating as the dermatitis. I tried using the Pyukang Yul Essence Toner in desperation to add some moisture without inflating my skin more. It helped! Now I use it all the time as a daily toner. The PK moisturizers are outstanding too. I love the Repair Balm. It feels like putting a hug on your face.

[NotImpressed]

The Purito Oat-in Intense Cream is amazing for dry skin ❤ and the Dermide Barrier Repair Moisturizer is just wow! I could list so, soooo many!

[pamelagileno]

LOVE Korean moisturizers! They have saved my skin! Also love your Prequel products :) As a 57yo woman with dry skin living in a cold, dry climate (Alaska), I have found that using Korean (or other) hydrating toners as a first step to my skincare routines (multiple layers) has transformed my skin's overall hydration. Wish I known about this years ago!

[rainebowbright]

Illyoon ceramide ato concentrate cream is one product that I absolutely LOVE and I never want to be without it! ❤

[KO-efls]

ILLIYOON ATO Ceramide cream to top for my dry sensitive skin!! I want to try this aestura one now too

[MaritsaRedus]

This is so helpful - thank you, Dr. Ellis! I am heading into the fall/winter in Colorado and am just coming out of chemo treatment as well, so I'm looking to grab a few thicker, more hydrating moisturizers. You provided some great recommendations here and I'll be placing an order :) I also wanted to compliment you on your speaking skills - you honestly are so knowledgable, eloquent, and thoughtful with the way you present information, anticipate common concerns/questions, and educate viewers. Keep it up and thanks again!

I haven’t been this excited for a video in a while. Also your skin is glowing 😍

[Anthi]

Oh my gosh, Dr. Sam! Just order most of them last month, except from the Cosrx one and the Isntree one because Olive Young Global does not carry it! I also bought the Austera one but in the big lotion formula so I can wear it both in the body and face, and also all the Aplb range for body and face since I have some break outs here and there. I have combination / dehydrated skin, and I love to use also the Skin1004 Centella cream after my retinol, the Round Lab Birch Juice moisturiser and the Torriden Hyaluronic Acid cream! 😊

Rec for easily sensitized normal/combo skin: Pyungkang Yul moisture cream. All it does is moisturize, no extras to brighten or help with acne or anything else, but it's so good. Lightweight enough to not feel greasy and be cosmetically elegant under SPF and makeup, but rich enough that it really gets the job done. My local Korean skincare shop stopped selling it, much to my devastation, so I have to find it elsewhere.
