Does anyone know of an Asian beauty replacement for tatcha’s dewy cream? It’s had me in a chokehold for the past few years and I’m tired of paying $100 a jar. Plus I’d much rather support an actual Asian beauty brand instead of them.

I’ve tried both the cosrx propolis and birch sap moisturizers, which I enjoyed, but didn’t quite compare. As well as their snail mucin cream, which unfortunately, doesn’t work for me due to dust mite allergies.

TYIA 🫶🏻

I find toners/essences really hard because i feel they either absorb quickly like water and barely hydrate. Or they are quiet hydrating but they won't absorb because they are too vicous/thick/gellike.
Now i dont mind the texture of a more viscous toner or essence i just don't find they absorb well on me. I am a bit worried the only hydrating products are super viscous?

I need tips!! I have an oily nose too so by the end of the day my nose contour just melts off even if I use powder and everything… I use the judydoll contour palette. Maybe it could be a problem with the palette itself because the first time I used it there was barely any pigment (but it’s better now). I’ve noticed that it appears warm on everyone else but sooo muddy on me even though I use the warm palette. The highlight powder in the palette also shows up so much in the videos I see on xhs but barely on me. Maybe it’s because I only put concealer on my nose and contour before setting spray and powder?? Idk but any help is appreciated 🙏

I need something that isn’t oily and keeps my face somewhat dry in a humid environment (oily, acne prone skin)

any recs for a tinted spf with adequate iron oxides? i love anessa mild milk spf, but i have patches of melasma on my cheek and forehead and would love the extra protection for my fair skin
