Everything I bought at Olive Young

2025/8/7 Edited to

... Read moreThat Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin Cream? Seriously, it's not just hype. I had this awful incident where my hands got super dry and irritated, almost like ice burns after being out in the cold. Nothing was working! Then, a lovely ajumma at Olive Young recommended this cream, and the relief was INSTANT. It’s become my absolute life-saver. The ceramides in it are just magic for repairing your skin barrier, especially if you have sensitive or compromised skin like mine. I typically use it after my toner and serum, patting it gently onto my face and neck. For extra dry patches, a thicker layer overnight works wonders. And trust me, it doesn't feel heavy at all, which is a big plus for day wear under makeup. While we're talking about Olive Young must-haves, I have to mention something that wasn't in my immediate haul but is always on my radar: Mise en Scene products! You often see their Perfect Serum everywhere in Olive Young. If you haven't tried it, it's a game-changer for frizzy, dry hair. I've personally used their Original Perfect Serum, and it makes my hair so much silkier and shinier without feeling greasy. They also have different versions like Rose Perfume or Styling, catering to various hair needs. Next time you're browsing Olive Young, definitely check out their hair care aisle; Mise en Scene is often on sale and offers fantastic value, especially if you're looking to upgrade your hair routine alongside your skincare. Speaking of protecting your skin, the sunscreens I picked up are incredible! The Round Lab Birch Juice Sun Cream is a dream. It absorbs so well, truly no white cast, and it's fragrance-free – a big win for sensitive skin. I've tried so many sunscreens that break me out, but this one is pure perfection. It’s genuinely better and often cheaper than some of the more viral options out there. And for reapplication throughout the day, the Abib Quick Sunstick is a lifesaver. It’s so convenient, no sticky finish, and even has ceramides and peptides, making it a powerful skincare step too! Don't forget to explore brands like Torriden and Illiyoon for their fantastic moisturizers and serums; their DIVE IN line and Ceramide Ato Concentrate Cream are highly praised for hydration and barrier repair. It's all about finding what works for your skin type! A little tip for shopping at Olive Young: always look out for their 1+1 deals or special bundles! You can often snag popular items like the SNP UV Perfect Air Cool Sun Cream at half the price this way. The staff are usually super helpful too, so don't hesitate to ask for recommendations, especially if you're looking for something specific for your skin concerns. Happy K-beauty hunting!

I wanted to like the beauty of Joseon eye cream but unfortunately it’s scarred my skin and caused burns/irritation. It was likely because I didn’t realize how strong Korean “retinal” was and I was sadly using it daily for lack of education..I’m looking into bakuchiol as a calmer sub for retinol
