Best Vitamin C serums! Picks by me 🥰 #drheejink #drkohskincare #boardcertifieddermatologist #dermatologist #skindoctor #skincareroutine #skincaretips #koreandoctor

This time travel shows one example of how Asians typically age! Aging is normal & my goal as a dermatologist is to try my best to age gracefully ❤️❤️ #drheejink #drkohskincare

Anti-aging Skincare for Your 20s/30s! Here is a sample template: AM: 1. Gentle cleanser. If you don’t use a cleanser in the morning and just do water wash, then that’s totally fine. 2. Vitamin C: Great antioxidant to use in the morning to fight free radical damage. If you have sensitive skin, look for products with THD ascorbate 3. SPF: Sun protection is the ultimate anti-aging method long-term. You’ll thank me later! Go for at least SPF 30+ PM: 1. Gentle cleanser OR Double cleansing if wearing makeup, etc. Cleansing oil or balm is great for removing makeup. 2. Retinol cream: retinol over-the-counter is a great start for anti-aging. Retinol is less irritating than prescription strength, but I would still start slow (i.e. 3 times a week at night). I would recommend retinol creams that are also hydrating. 3. On all other nights, use a hydrating moisturizer that is rich in hyaluronic acid, ceramides, niacinamide, peptides, etc. 4. Optional: you can introduce gentle chemical exfoliation with AHA once a week to start! Helps to exfoliate and improve dull appearance of skin. I’ll also do one with examples of products you can use! #drheejink #drkohskincare #antiagingskincare #antiagingtips #skincareforbeginners #skincarefor20s #skincarefor30s #skincareroutinetips #koreanskin

Have you tried this viral twist cleansing balm? 👀 You simply rotate and you get the perfect amount of cleansing balm without having to use a spatula or your fingers to scoop it out. I tested it out and it also removes makeup really well. It is a little pricey so I think this is for people who like cleansing balms but don’t want to scoop out products. #drheejink #drkohskincare #koreanskincare Have you tried this?

✨Vitamin C serum test on Apple Slices (Part 2)✨ Vitamin C serums are valued for their antioxidant and brightening effects.

Here are my top picks: Timeless: 20% Vitamin C + E Ferulic Acid @COSRX Official : Vitamin C 23% Serum with Vitamin E & Hyaluronic Acid DearKlairs: 5% Vitamin C @CeraVe : 10% Vitamin C + HA + Ceramides @LaRochePosayUS : 10% Vitamin C + Salicylic acid @Vichy Laboratoires : 15% Vitamin C + Vitamin E + Pine polyphenols @Olay Skin Care : Vitamin C + Peptides @Neutrogena : 20% Vitamin C Most of these use ascorbic acid, a form of Vitamin C. The key with Vitamin C is using the on that doesn’t irritate your skin, so you might have to try a couple to find the one that works for you. #drheejink #drkohskincare #vitamincserum

When pimple patches work the best! #drheejink #drkohskincare #pimplepatch

How to minimize the appearance of PORES: 1. Gentle chemical exfoliation: Try AHA like glycolic acid & lactic acid or combination of AHA/BHA/PHA product 1-2 times per week. I personally like to use a toner with a cotton pad and do 1 sweep across my face. Those with sensitive skin can try LHA products which is the most gentle form of acids. I always follow with moisturizer to hydrate and minimize irritation. 2. Moisturizers: For moisturizers, I recommend trying those rich in hyaluronic acid like the one from @Peach & Lily or @Torriden. If you want something richer in texture, try @AveneUSA cicalfate or @LaRochePosayUS cicaplst balm b5. 3. Retinol products: On few nights, you can try using retinol products, which help clear clogged oil and dead skin cells to minimize the appearance of pores. I would start using retinol product 2 times per week, and then gradually adding a night if tolerated. Try using a retinol cream like the one from @RoC Skincare OR Alpharet cream from @skinbetter science (which has patented technology that combines lactic acid + retinol but with minimal irritation) OR retinol serum followed by a rich moisturizer. 4. Remember NOT to overuse irritating products. Both acids like AHA/BHA/PHA and retinol products can dry out or irritate the skin, so make sure to start slowly and use them on different nights. #drheejink #drkohskincare #porecleanse #clearskintips #glassskin #skincaretips #dermatologist #skindoctor

Tailor your skincare routine to humidity! If hot & humid: try skipping moisturizer especially if yoh have oily skin. Stick to mist & serum. Sunscreen is a must If low humidity & dry: go for a hydrating moisturizer. Apply on damp skin for humectants! #drheejink #drkohskincare #dermatologist #skincaretips

☀️Common Sunscreen Mistakes, Part 1 ☀️ 1. Applying only in sunny weather. 80 percent of UV rays can penetrate your skin on a cloudy day, so make sure to use sunscreen every day. 2. Not applying to other exposed body parts such as ears, lips, neck, hands, feet, ankles, etc. 3. Incorrectly using sunscreen sprays. Sunscreen sprays are easy to use but they don’t cover your skin evenly, which can lead to burns in uncovered areas. When you spray sunscreen, it’s important to rub it in evenly. 4. Not applying enough amount of sunscreen. Make sure to apply 2 tablespoons or 1 shot glass of sunscreen for face & body. #sunscreenmistakes #sunscreentips #summerskincare #summerskincaretips #sunprotection #skincaretips #dermatologist #dermatology #koreandoctor #koreanskin #drheejink #drkohskincare #drjiyeh

Best Toners/Essence (based on skin concern) Toners & Essence are not mandatory and optional in skincare routine, but they can certainly help address some skin concerns. Exfoliating toners can help improve skin texture, acne, and dullness. Hydrating & soothing toners or essence can help calm irritated skin and hydrate dry skin. Those with dry skin may use essence before serum and moisturizer, whereas those with oily skin may prefer to use a lightweight essence in place of serum or moisturizer (really depends on skin type and environment). Here are some examples of hydrating essence, soothing/calming or exfoliating toners. #drheejink #drkohskincare #dermatologist #besttoner #bestessence #skincaretips #koreanskincare

✨Supplement for sun protection?✨ Did you know there is a supplement you can take to help protect against the sun? Heliocare contains polypodium leukotomas, which is a tropical fern extract that helps protect your skin against UVB light and reduce risk of sunburn. Heliocare also has an advanced version that contains nicotinamide in addition to polypodium leukotomos, which has been shown to help reduce the risk of developing pre-cancerous lesions and non-melanoma skin cancers from uv damage. I typically recommend this to patients with skin cancer history. Remember that this does not replace sunscreen! It’s a great supplement to take in addition to sunscreen and other physical sun protection. I recommend this if you’re going to the beach or somewhere with strong sun exposure or for those with melasma or sun sensitivities. #drheejink #drkohskincare #sunprotection #heliocare #sunprotection☀️ #clearskin #koreanskin #dermatologist #dermtips

Aging Filter Explained by Dermatologist!! Watch me explain the aging process and what we can do to prevent or delay signs of againg! #drheejink #drkohskincare #dermatologist #aginggracefully #agedfilter #koreanskin #asianagingprocess

Acne Scar Treatments ✅ Retinoids can help increase collagen production, even out skin tone & prevent future acne by targeting oil glands. ✅ Vitamin C: antioxidant that can help brighten and even out skin tone. ✅ AHAs (glycolic, lactic, mandelic) can help chemically exfoliate & resurface the skin to even out skin tone ✅ Sunscreen: can help limit contrast between acne scar and normal skin. ✅ In-office treatment: dermatologist consultation is important to come up with a treatment plan for textural changes from acne scars and for persistent redness or dark sptos. May need in-office cosmetic treatments to improve the appearance of scars. #drheejink #drkohskincare #dermatologist #koreanskin #acnescartreatment

When your patient with combination skin has solid skincare game: -Vit C + Sunscreen in the morning -Retinoid 2 times per week at night -Aha/bha toner pads 1 x per week -Always moisturizes as last step of night skincare routine #drheejink #drkohskincare #skincaretips #combinationskincare
