Question of the Week: Is there a Korean product that’s similar to Tatcha’s Dewy Skin Cream?

• Tatcha’s cream imparts a dewy glow which comes from mica and is hydrating and plumping. But it’s $69 USD for $50ml and also contains artificial colorants to make it purple.
• Ingredients
• Galactomyces is a major ingredient. Other keys are Water, glycerin, propanediol, squalane. 
• I don’t have an exact ingredient dupe for you but i do have two creams that perform very similarly, Etude House Moistfull Collagen Cream and Make Prem Watery Gel Cream
• Etude contains Hydrolyzed Collagen, Glycerin, Safflower Extract and Betaine. It is non-greasy, lightweight and suitable for normal skin 
• Make P:rem contains Glycerin, Panthenol, Cactus, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate. It is a lighter weight texture but great for oily skin.

5 Star Review for Jelly Ko Dewy Glaze Toner

• I love this toner
• My previous experiences with toners were disappointing, I just never see the difference. This one I noticed since the first applying. Its not so watered and I loved this texture, falls very nicely in the skin. It's my everyday toner now.
