IN 2025
As a girly who loves skincare I have tried so many different skincare products from american brands to korean brands and a lot that didn’t even make this list. As we’re leaving 2024 behind I thought i’d show some of my skincare picks i’m leaving behind and bringing with me in 2025.
Note that everyone’s skin is different and calls for different products. I have combo-sensitive skin and rosacea so I have to look for products that can both clear skin and calm my flare ups without irritation.
💌 Brand: Peach Slices Snail Rescue Toner.
I have repurchased this multiple times and it is one of my favorite toners. It works great to clear up any acne and it’s not harsh on my skin. It’s good for all skin types especially oily.
💌 Brand: I’m From Rice Toner
An extremely popular toner, I was really excited to try this product and was extremely disappointed as well. Unfortunately this product did irritate my skin and it didn’t really have any crazy good effects.
💌 Brand: Skin 1004 Centella Ampoule
This is a 10/10 serum for me. It’s extremely lightweight so it doesn’t irritate my skin and it calmed and reduced a lot of redness I had on my skin. It also got rid of a lot of small bumps I had on my skin. I really want to try more of their products.
💌 Brand: Good Molecules Overnight Exfoliating Serum
An underrated exfoliator imo. Does what it says and renews my skin overnight. Say bye bye to cakey and separating makeup with this.
💌 Brand: Beauty of Josen Glow Serum
Another extremely popular product i was also slightly disappointed with. This product didn’t ruin or hurt my skin it just did nothing. at all.
💌 Brand: Corsx Snail Mucin Essence
The tiktok celebrity itself. Again another overrated product. I thought this would be liquid gold itself but for me, it was a little too much for my skin with small bumps.
💌 Brand: CocoKind Texture Smoothing Cream
This brand is super underrated. It is a little pricy to a degree but I think it’s worth it. This smoothed my texture and reduced acne. Extremely clean and no harsh additives.
💌 Brand: Glamfox Rice Niacinamide Cream
I just started using this and the results are pretty good so far. Reduced redness, brightening, and a clearer complexion.
💌 Brand: Peach Slices Snail Rescue Moisturizer
This is a gel type moisturizer that is perfect for oily skin but for me this just isn’t moisturizing enough and makes my skin flakey.
As we approach 2025, skincare enthusiasts are embracing products that not only promise to enhance skin quality but also cater to specific skin types. With the vast array of options, Korean skincare brands continue to lead the way, offering innovative solutions that address diverse skin issues. For those struggling with combination and sensitive skin, products containing soothing ingredients like Centella Asiatica can help calm irritations while providing hydration. The Skin 1004 Centella Ampoule is a perfect example, renowned for its lightweight texture and ability to reduce redness. Embracing exfoliation is also key. The Good Molecules Overnight Exfoliating Serum stands out for its effectiveness in renewing skin while you sleep, showcasing the importance of integrating gentle exfoliants into your routine. Products that incorporate snail mucin, such as the COSRX Snail Mucin Essence, have gained popularity for their moisturizing properties but may not suit everyone. It's essential to understand your skin's unique needs; always patch test when trying new products, especially if you have a history of sensitivity. Additionally, the trend towards clean beauty is shaping consumers' choices. Brands like CocoKind are appreciated for their clean ingredients and effective formulations. Ultimately, the journey into 2025's skincare landscape calls for personalized routines that celebrate effective solutions tailored to individual skin conditions. Starting this new year with informed choices can lead to healthier skin!
something i learned about the cosrx essence is that you’re supposed to apply it to damp skin to avoid the uneven texture and that the mucin contains pollen which is an irritant to a lot of people! sucks it didn’t work for you, it’s definitely a staple in my routine, definitely going to try peach slices this year now!
