Hi @luhanhearto478, I've used a few Korean skincare products before such as Etude House, Laneige & Innisfree. My current favourite Korean skincare brand would definitely be Innisfree. 

I have done a few reviews on their products on my blog which you can check out if you like

I've sworn by Missha's Treatment Essence for years - I've gone through countless bottles. It really depends what price range you're looking at though?

my skin is pretty oily and my pores are huge so i was wondering if there was any solution for that? my skin is pretty bad and no western product has helped me so far and i thought maybe korean products would be more suitable for me. price range can be from 10 bucks to 20 but more than that would be a little too expensive maybe?

thanks so much!!! was really surprised how many products there actually are omg  so i guess innisfree is good against oily skin and huge pores?

[sclarke1986]

Hi! I use the Nature Republic Aloe Vera Soothing Gel. Really good for moisturizing the face, neck, elbows, knees and I use it on my feet and heels too. 

[haepi]

I usually buy facial wash, moisturizers and lotion from Innisfree. Then at night I use face mask from Nature Republic. (: I bought them ai visited Korea last uear and just last month. 

[luhanhearto478]

thanks so much for the recommendations!! from what i've read so far innisfree seems to be the best? does this also apply for oily skin and huge pores?

[woofanie]

Hmmm... oily skin and huge pores huh....

My recommendation is to wash your face with icy cold water. That helps with tightening of pores (and a slimmer face haha).  I also recommend gentle exfoliation. I am not sure of the exact mechanism but gentle exfoliation is healthy for any skin type.

Honestly though, I would recommend products but generally I would say take care of your skin by moisturizing well. Don't use the heavy duty moisturizer but a good one that tells your skin to calm down with the oil production. I recommend Alive:lab's Multi Ice Cream. I got this recommendation from Hanbyul, a Korean YouTuber who has AH-MAZING skin tips. 

Hope this helps~

thank you so much!! i've never heard of these methods before and i'll definitely try those out!! 

guess Hanbyul just won herself a new subscriber haha  <3 

[sclarke1986]

For oily skin and enlarged pores, and if you want something made with natural ingredients, maybe you could check out the Activated Charcoal Clay Masque from Banish. A friend recommended this to me and when I tried it, I fell in love the very first time I used it! 

They have this 30-day money back guarantee too, so it's really worth a try.

[chantaltan]

Hi i hope you dont mind, but here is a really good product i reviewed for a blogsite. I used it once and have been hooked ever since. Here is my blogpost that i reviewed.

[willow95]

Hi, I like a lot of products! I tend to look at online stores to see what they have in, like Sokoglam in the US (https://sokoglam.com) or GlowMo in the UK (https://www.glowmo.co.uk). I really like Innisfree sheet masks, and Neogen cleansers as well as the pad exfoliators! 

[skinnyneko]

I love laneige, and The Face Shop! I love the packaging so much for The Face Shop. I also really like the Mishibox subscription box. It's one of those monthly boxes that come in the mail and it has all sorts of korean skincare products! They send different brands and I like it because I try brands and products I've never heard of. The only downside for me is sometimes they send out makeup products in place of skincare products, which can be annoying because I only care about skincare really. But 98% of the time it's all skincare. Here's an unboxing video so you have an idea of what comes in the Mishibox, there are also lots of other uboxing videos, i just posted this one because it's for July of this month. I looked at lots of unboxing videos before I decided on buying the subscription.  My favorite product so far has been this face spray that contains snail mucus. I wish I could remember the brand!

OMG this thread! I love love love K-Beauty! They're always releasing something brand new plus its so affordable! I love Innisfree! I think most things from that brand is amazing but recently I've been getting into Pyunkang Yul. I heard about it from a Youtuber who said it was from an oriental medicine clinic and that it was incredibly gentle. I have really sensitive skin so I tried it out and so far my skins been nice and calm!

[Guest]

I am usingg laneige water sleeping mask and lips mask

I combined it with daily SK ii (japan product)  cream  and pitera essence and clear lotion

[cmjt5678]

I use Laneige a lot. One of my favorite is the Water Bank Moisture Cream! It was pretty cheap, I bought it under $20 at Kmall24. But don't forget to check other Korean beauty sites(Sokoglam, memebox,...) and Sephora. At Sephora, belief is also good, bit pricy tho. 

[eunjungfr]

I like SK-II, but it's a bit pricy...so instead I can use Isa Nox or IOPE skin care sets

[iresherbs]

I have used many products for anti-wrinkle but didn't get any noticeable result. After so many research on the internet, I found the product that gives me good compare than any other products. Many of my friends also apply this get and get good results. I hope this product also help you, you can purchase this product online on eBay.
