Now that we know people actually read our blog, something changed for us. We started to feel responsible. Responsible enough to say what we really think.
This is not a ranking. Not a drama. It’s an honest conversation – the kind we would have with a friend over coffee.
Medi-Peel – strong image, less emotion
Medi-Peel is hard to miss. Luxurious packaging, strong influencer presence and a very “premium-looking” identity.
The products themselves are absolutely fine. There are good formulas and solid options. But for us, the brand clearly sits in the mid-range category.
Sometimes we do wonder whether the price always fully reflects what’s inside – especially when we see very frequent and deep discounts. That doesn’t make it a bad brand. It just doesn’t make us say “wow”.
Trimay – wow. And wow again.
Here, we simply can’t be neutral. Trimay is a brand we genuinely love.
The best feedback we’ve ever collected for any brand has been for Trimay. Face creams, eye patches, hair treatments – everything just works. Consistently.
Clean formulas, great textures and that feeling that your skin is actually being taken care of. This is not hype – this is performance.
Yes, Trimay also has discounts sometimes. But not aggressively and not all the time. And honestly? It shows.
We recommend Trimay without hesitation.
A small note for our Greek readers: Unfortunately, due to the brand’s official distribution policy, we are not allowed to sell Trimay in Greece. Even though it’s very close to our hearts, this is a decision made by the manufacturer, not by us.
That said – Trimay is available through other Greek online stores. We won’t pretend otherwise. It hurts a bit… but yes, it’s worth trying. You won’t regret it.
Beauty of Joseon – top from start to finish
Some brands leave very little room for debate. Beauty of Joseon is one of them.
Sunscreens – top. Serums – top. Creams – top. Formula purity – top.
This is a brand that helped us grow and enter new markets. One we recommend with complete confidence.
If it’s a Beauty of Joseon product – honestly, there’s not much to think about.
COSRX – phew… a classic that never gets boring
COSRX is one of those brands that simply does its job – and does it very well.
One product can last for months, hydration levels are seriously high, and the textures are instantly recognizable.
The range is huge, and even if you don’t know where to start, it’s actually hard to make a bad choice.
People come back to COSRX. And that says enough.
Anua – big hype, calmer reality
Anua entered the European market fast. Very fast. And very loudly.
The products are not bad at all. There are good formulas and decent results, but overall, the brand stays in the mid-range category for us.
Sometimes the hype moves faster than the actual experience. And yes – it’s important to be careful where you buy from.
And finally – with a smile
It might sound like we were tougher on some brands. In reality, we were just honest.
There is solid mid-range Korean skincare. And then there are brands that make you say “wow”, “this is top” and recommend them with real excitement.
When you know people are reading – that’s the least you can do.
