You reminded me of another Foreo benefit over the Clarisonic: better battery life.

Whooooaaaaa I never paid much attention to the Foreo, but maybe I want that Mini 2...! I had no idea it had such a long battery life. Thanks for the heads-up!!!

[WinglessOne]

@jennatar Heh, that’s one of the main reasons I bought a Foreo. Clarisonic claims the Mia 2 will last around 25 uses on a single charge (which works out to around 5 months of use on a single charge, if you use the Mia 2 once a week), but mine needed recharging every 15-20 uses at best. And it takes 24 hours to charge the Clarisonic, vs. just 1 hour for the Foreo. 

I kinda sound like a Foreo salesperson 😂 but no, I don’t work for them or get any sponsorship from them. If you decide to try one, I hope it works for you!

Thank you so much @WinglessOne for such  detailed feedback; it’s much appreciated. 😊 I used the Clarisonic years ago and I have a Foreo from an old sub box but haven’t used it. It seems like there’s a lot of benefits to it; I may give it a go this weekend. Thank you again for such helpful information.

I like that Origins Plantscription Cleanser too, @WinglessOne👍🏼 Sorry to hear about the issues you are having that might be connected to the boscia🤔 hope you are able to sort it out before too long!

[WinglessOne]

@eshoe I do hope the cactus water moisturizer isn’t making my skin flip out. But whatever’s doing it, at least it’s a very minor tantrum this time. 🙂

My main concerns are hyperpigmentation, dehydration, and wrinkles (getting older now!). I like trying new skincare products, so my routine always varies. Here's my current routine:

Morning Routine

1. Cold Water
2. Drunk Elephant C-Firma Day Serum
3. Donginbi Red Ginseng Moisturizing Mist
4. Sunscreen

Evening Routine

1. Heimish All-Clean Balm
2. Farmacy Clean Bee Cleanser
3. switch between The Ordinary AHA, BHA, or Retinol (2-3x/wk)
4. Donginbi Red Ginseng Moisturizing Mist
5. Missha Geum Sul First Essence Booster

Depending on the dryness of my skin, I'll use the Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner and/or whatever moisturizer I have on hand. I tend to have samples lying around since I like trying/buying new stuff.

[itsfi]

@gymgirl2, the Pyunkang Yul essence toner is a staple in my skincare routine! 😄 How do you like the Donginbi mist? Is it something you would repurchase?

[gymgirl2]

@itsfi Yeah that Essence Toner is great for hydration, and so affordable too. I just got the Donginbi 2wks ago, so I'm still testing it. So far, I like it though I dunno if I love it especially for the price. It's fairly hydrating, but not as moisturizing as the Pyungkang Yul. It also stays tackier than the PY. I used it once as a makeup primer, and it made my satin-finish foundation look glowy-er. It did help calm some inflammation I had from a bug bite. And the mist from the spray is nice/fine. There's an herbal/ginseng smell, but it's very mild and inoffensive.

@itsfi Where can someone find the Pyunkang Yul essence toner? I keep reading great reviews about this essence!

You’ve made me into a Mizon addict ! I love this brand ! 💕

Thanks a million times!

[itsfi]

@keana1, I get my Pyunkang Yul items through ohlolly(dot)com, but I don’t know what the shipping rates to Canada would be. They have a good guide on their website to the PY line of products that may be helpful. A Canadian site that carries the essence toner is chuusi(dot)ca; since I’m in the US, I haven’t used that site. I’m tagging @Aaliaa since she uses some PY products and may be able to provide more info for purchasing their products in Canada.

[Aaliaa]

Apologize for the late reply but if you are still interested the following sites sell Pyunkang Yul @keana1. Yesstyle (ships from Hong Kong) and Chuusi (dot) com and Mikaela-beauty (dot) com ship from Canada so there is no chance of getting hit with duties. I personally use YesStyle to stock up on all my Pyunkang Yul. Let us know how you like it @keana1

[keana1]

No apologies needed @Aaliaa Thank you so much for taking your time to give me the resources for the Pyunkang Yul essence! I really appreciate your kindness!🤗  It’s nice to have you back in the BIC!

[keana1]

I did some digging very early this morning and I found one Canadian site that does have this line of products.The site is called yesstyle . Thanks for letting me know what you found out @itsfi 😉

[itsfi]

Good news! I didn’t know yesstyle was a Canadian site. I’ve ordered items from them before and have had good experiences. If you get the Pyunkang Yul essence toner, I’d love to know what you think of it @keana1!

[keana1]

@itsfi I thought it was a Canadian website since the prices are in Canadian currency! Maybe Google’s locator found out that I’m googling from a Canadian IP address? Big Brother is watching 👀😱!

[eshoe]

I’ve seen that toner/essence pop up in here a few times now, @gymgirl2. Must be good, or at least worth a whirl😉

[gymgirl2]

@eshoe - The ingredients list is very minimal and non-comedogenic. I think there's only like 6 ingredients. So if you have sensitive/reactive skin, it's probably good to try. It's also quite affordable. I really like it as a hydrating toner/essence.

[eshoe]

Thank you, @gymgirl2☺️

[Rosyrow]

1. Beauty Water by Son & Park 2. Soy Cleanser by Fresh ( I also use it with Clarisonic twice a week when I want to do a more deeper cleanse) 3. Sugar Mask by Skinfoods (when I want extra exfoliation...available at sokoglam.com or Amazon) 4. Laneige toner 5. Missha Essence ( available at sokoglam.com) 6. Vintner’s Daughter Botanical serum ( seriously worth the investment...i sometimes just put this alone without putting any moisturizer ) 7. Tatcha Water Cream or Kiehls Brightening cream ( depending on how want to deeply hydrate my skin) 8. Saturday Skin eye cream ( I honestly don’t recommend this product as I haven’t seen any improvements after 2 months of using it. I’m thinking of switching to Shiseido Benefiance anti wrinkle cream)

[eshoe]

Have you been using the Missha essence for awhile, @Rosyrow? I am sampling a couple different essences and wonder what it’s supposed to be doing...it seems like scented water to me😂
