I've been using the Glow Deep serum for about a month from the brand and it has helped my dull skin a lot. Wished I took before and after photos!
I wanna know thoughts from others who have used their other serums as well.
Currently eyeing the calming serum but I'd like to hear everyone else's reviews!
P.S. my skin type is oily-combination with some dullness, i get pimples sometimes but not as harsh as before and I have dark spots that are healing
If England underwent a 150-year period of instability and civil war, surely France, Spain, and other powers would've intervened for their own profit.
Portugal also profited from selling firearms and other European products to various daimyล. Why didn't China or Korea do something similar? For example, they could've supported daimyล that would've restricted piracy, or agreed to pay tribute.
Especially for Joseon Korea, since they weren't involved in any other conflicts that might have diverted resources, and could have benefited significantly from increasing its influence over such a geographically close neighbour.
Hey everyone,
So I really loved Mr Sunshine, it was so refreshing to see a different time period with different historical context to the dramas I was used to watching. Do you have any recommendations for other period k-dramas set in "uncommon" time periods? I'd love to see more dramas or films set in the 20th century for example.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations :)
Hola peeps, today I'm reviewing the products stated in the title of this post. A bit of info before I proceed further:
Age/gender: 22/Male
Skin Type: Oily
Climate of Residence: Dry
Skin Shade: Dusky (NC45)
Retailer(s): Maccaron and Cult Beauty
Here's a photo of the products:
The three products I'm talking about
Legend: WRP: Will repurchase. MRP: Might repurchase. WNRP: Will NOT repurchase.
Here's my taken on each:
- Isntree Green Tea Fresh Emulsion: Retails for about Rs. 1150 but got it for about Rs. 800 (quantity of 120 ml) during sale at Maccaron. Formulated for oily skin types, this emulsion claims to control excessive sebum. Contains Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, Allantoin (to name a few) that are a boon for oily skin. Has a light yellowish-brown texture and a consistency akin to COSRX Oil-free Moisturizer (but lighter than that); a gooey like texture that is really light on skin. I have been using this for two weeks and am mightily impressed by it! My skin is not longer greasy and shiny for several hours, and feels very soothing post applying. One pump is enough to cover my face and I'm pretty sure that this will last for a while. I use it during AM and PM. Really worth the investment and recommend emphatically to all with oily skin type. WRP
- Beauty of Joseon Glow Deep Serum: Purchased for Rs. 1500 (30 ml) from Maccaron. This serum claims to possess brightening properties and work against pigmentation, being enriched with 68% rice bran water and 2% arbutin. Colorless liquid with little (rice-like) to no discernible smell. Mom (with mature and dry skin) and I have used it daily for two weeks since purchase during AM. Mom is quite happy with the results, she did notice that her skin became brighter, I too noticed the same with her. It is too premature to form an opinion on its effects on pigmentation; but mom is optimistic that this will help her with it. I too notice a subtle glow after applying this product; I have a few dark spots on my skin and will update how this product works on them. It is no doubt expensive and I wish it retailed for Rs. 900 or so. MRP if it shows more results, would also like to try TO Arbutin for the sake of comparison. Would also like to give Hada Labo a try, but its avai
I just finished watching The Fortress (2017) on Netflix, about the Qing (Jurchen) "khan" laying siege to a fortress where Joseon King Injo had retreated with a small force, cut off from the larger Joseon army.
It's got great production values like Kingdom and takes place during the middle Joseon dynasty, so a lot of the familiar elements from Kingdom are there.
Can anyone recommend similar movies or shows? To be clear, I am not a Koreaboo, I'm not interested in k-dramas, k-pop or any of that stuff, I'm interested in historical movies/TV shows set in the Joseon period.
Cheers

Iโm curious because the balm looks really luxurious and comes in a decent size (120 ml!). It has two essential oils in it, but one of them (the rosemary eo) I donโt seems to mind in a wash off product. Itโs between this and the recent reformulation of the Beauty of Joseon Radiance cleansing balm (which is fragrance free).
Hello! I'm currently in Korea, I want to buy the Beauty of Joseon Serums, but don't seem to find them online on coupang or gmarket (for a reasonable price). Wondering where to buy them in korea? Either in person or online :) Thank youu!
Do you guys think Asian-Based NFT Projects like this one have potential?

Which worked better for you?
(Sorry that this is yet another "why does X not have preservatives" question!)
I'm new to r/DIYBeauty, I've been hearing some hype about the Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream, and I just learned about preservatives. It doesn't look like any of the ingredients are preservatives according to CosDNA, *and* the product is in a jar and not a pump or even a squeeze tube. Beauty of Joseon isn't a particularly crunchy brand afaik (or at least not stereotypically US-crunchy). Does anyone know what's up? Does this product somehow not need preservatives? Are its users just slathering bacteria/mold/fungi all over their face, and somehow it is fine for a lot of people? Am I misunderstanding an ingredient or two? Is there a preservative that is secretly labeled "fragrance"?
A related but different noob question: I assume industrial skincare manufacturers have superior processes and/or ingredients compared to DIYers. What are the differences?
Thanks in advance, and sorry if I'm breaking an etiquette rule.
Where can we find the above brand in India?
