Hey friends! This is a little corner of my vanity drawerโand no, Iโm not reviewing everything in the photo ๐ Just wanted to spotlight 4 products from the pile that Iโve actually used up or reached for a lot. I have combo-to-oily skin (especially in the T-zone), and always on the lookout for hydrating, calming, and non-greasy formulas that play well with my minimalist routine.
I donโt always write reviews, but these stood outโsome in good ways, some not so much (and one, unfortunately, you canโt even get anymore ๐ญ). Iโm keeping it short and sweet: just the product name, what itโs supposed to do, a highlight ingredient, my quick take, and a rating out of 5 stars. Hope it helps if youโve been eyeing any of these!

Let me know if youโve tried any of these or have other K-beauty recommendations! Iโm always looking to rotate something new into my AM/PM routineโespecially for hydration and barrier support.
I only use it at night bc the texture kinda felt heavy
