Nay or Yay?
29 May 2026
Nay
No. I mean, the Korean skincare market has some phenomenal water creams, which I absolutely love, that are cruelty-free and offer more calming and soothing benefits than this.
26 May 2026
Yay
Overall though, I think they did a great job with this. I really like it. I like it a lot more.

Why we only pair takes from the same month

A formula gets reworked, a price moves, and a product people loved in one year is not the product they are handed in the next. Two takes far apart in time can look like a disagreement when they are really a description of a product that changed. So a face-off only pairs experts whose videos went up within a month of each other, and neither take here is sponsored.
