Korean Skin Care

Following on from my thread on an advertised sweat rash cream. The latest thing is Korean skin care and there are loads of adverts for this. Our local Boots, Superdrug etc were running a promotion but the shelves were bare, so the hype was working.
Yesterday I was in TK Maxx and they had a mixture of Korean beauty products. I bought a face wash and a factor 50 face cream at a very low price.
I have used them both once and can already see an improvement. The face cream doesn't feel heavy and greasy like other sun screens and my large pores look much better.
It is no use me telling you the brand as you can never get the same thing twice in TK Maxx but I may try a mainstream brand once I need more as they are not too expensive if they do a good job.

Anyone else use Korean products that they could recommend?

I haven’t used them but have seen that M&S are selling some so I consider that a decent recommendation.

I have tried a couple of Korean products. One in particular I really like. Smooch, foundation, I saw it being written up somewhere or other. Not having used foundation for quite a few years, this one sounded as if it performed the impossible feat of matching to whatever the skin tone the user has. Remarkably it does just that, and doesn't leave the tell tell line that sometimes happened when not properly blended. It's white when it comes out but doesn't remain that way and doesn't sit heavily on the skin. I don't use it everyday, but am happy with the results. I think the Koreans are becoming innovators in the field of cosmetics.

I've made a note of that TerriBull for when I need a new foundation.

I did read somewhere that Koreans spend more money on skincare and having ‘work’ done on their faces than any other nation.I haven’t tried anything so far but it’s a def fad everywhere just now.
