Hello Doctor Ellis! I am a 65 year old woman. I purchased my first K Beauty products last fall and I'm hooked. Why? Luxury, performance and so comfortable on my skin. I love the glow they give me. I've had multiple people stop and ask what I use on my skin! Korean Beauty is light years ahead!

Honestly, I came across a lot of reviews about litellileextra riceberry moisturizer and cleanser prior to getting it, and it was definitely a good decision. It really gives my skin a radiant look post applying it. I use it daily every morning. Love the texture, it sinks into the skin easily without effort and has brightened the skin. It leaves the skin feeling smooth and soft after application and provides deep hydration. Just don't forget to layer it with SPF50 sunscreen on top, and you’ll be set for the whole day.

US sunscreens have always REALLY irritated my eyes. They sting was so bad sometimes. K-beauty sunscreens have absolutely changed the game! I can apply liberally over my eyelids and it doesn't irritate my eyes at all.

Can you please also do a video on Korean skincare for sensitive & rosacea skin?

[michellenordstrom]

Beauty of Joseon is the best. I bought it on your recommendation last year and I’ve been so impressed by it. It’s lightweight, I don’t feel it on my skin but the sun doesn’t get through it.

I have oily skin and I really like the Skin 1004 Centella one. I’ve repurchased it multiple times. It has the kind of glow that I wish my oily skin would give off, and although it doesn’t have a tint I feel like it evens out my skin tone. This might just be my experience, but it might be worth a try if you have oily skin.

It’s Japanese but my fav is the Skin Aqua UV Moisture Gel. It’s so wonderful to apply and water-resistant. I get the one in a pump for easy dosage (1 pump = 1g). Dries so quickly & never looks gross if you sweat.

In fact, that is my one beef w a lot of the popular Asian sunscreens mentioned on YouTube: people’s favs are rarely water resistant. And as somebody who lives in the southern US—in a humid climate where it’s summer half the year here—a daily water-resistant sunscreen is a non-negotiable for me. I don’t care if I’m not swimming or hiking, etc. It is just too sweaty and humid here (even only running errands) for a sunscreen that’s not water-resistant to work properly imo. But I guess if you don’t live in a steam room climate 24/7, maybe people don’t need them? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Theo😊 Love that he's in your video and you can see him say "Mama". Anyway, I love the Skin 1004 and have repurchased 3 more tubes. And the BofJ is really really awesome. I've also repurchased it. They both feel so good when you rub it in and never ever burn your eyes. I also have the Purito Barrier Relief Moisturizer and its very nice as well. I've ordered all these from Stylevana and am very happy with that. Thanks for your recs !!

The beauty of joseon sunscreen and Isntree sunscreen are total game changers. Elegant, lightweight, spreadable and easy on eyes.

BOJ Relief sunscreen broke me out SO BADLY! First use - it gave me itchy, stinging, burning feeling along with red bumps all over my face! Yet, I did continue to use it thinking that maybe my skin would get used to it, but big NO! It got worse and worse. I still don't know exactly which ingredient caused that so that I could avoid that ingredient. For reference, I have combo-dry, sensitive, acne and blemish prone skin, I am 24 years old. Dr. Sam I love your videos, could you please tell me what could cause that irritation on me? Thank you!

One of the very important aspects of Korean sunscreens that you don’t mention - most of the sunscreens you mention are *daily* sunscreens, meaning they are meant to be work on your normal days like running errands and going to work. They are NOT meant for days at the beach or playing sports. Those sunscreens can be identified by having “waterproof” or “outdoor” or “leports” (combination of the words leisure and sports) in the name. Even reapplying every two hours isn’t enough if you’re wearing a sunscreen that is meant for daily use if you’re at the beach. I never hear this distinction when folks mention Korean sunscreens and it’s REALLY IMPORTANT.

I adore skin1004 spf, it is my all time favorite, but BOJ spf irritates my eyeas and is too „oily”, so those slight differences between them make a difference.

I use the Beauty of Jeseon SPF mentioned in the Winter. It works well under makeup on my mature, very dry skin.

[estymerhav]

I took the Isa Knox with me to a beach vacation in Greece - perfect!! I'm pale and burn easily and it was a life saver. Also the bottle is flat and so easy to push it in any small bag

[TheDlj]

LOVE the Beauty of Joseon sunscreen! Bought it on your recommendation and have been telling everyone how lovely this sunscreen is! It feels great on my skin, not greasy or sticky, not smelly, absorbs easily. Just love it, I use it all the time now that I found something that feels great and works well. Took it to Mexico recently and I did not burn when using this. Thanks for this video!

[Pamela_PNW]

Totally off-topic but your make-up is GORGEOUS in this video..what are you wearing?

[veronikatyburcova]

I bought Beauty of Joseon because of your recommendation and I have to say that this sunscreen is absolutely incredible and I love it sooo much!!! Works really well on my oily skin... makes no greasy or sticky layer. Thank you :)

[lilwoodsprite]

Scinic Super Mild Sun Essence is my jam!

[marilyncarucci]

Yes! Pleaseee do a video on this glowy makeup! 😍

[shinyki]

So many amazing recs! Shoutout to pcalm, which is a super underrated Korean brand. I found out about their cato cream through another one of my favorite youtubers and absolutely fell in love! Their spf is currently on my wishlist
