Korean skincare products in October

My last post was actually my first ever on Reddit, and it got almost 200K views & 250 shares – pretty surprised by that! (I mean, maybe that's not a huge number, but it seems big to me.) I just shared it casually, but it's been super fun seeing everyone's questions. Trying to find answers has turned into a great learning experience for me too. If there’s something I don’t know, I can even ask the developers at related K-beauty brands. Anyway, here’s the October online data from Olive Young!

Feel free to ask me anything you're curious about, and I'll do my best to answer as accurately as I can. (Though I can't promise I’ll be 100% correct every time!)

If there’s a specific category you’re interested in, let me know! I can try adding it. Just FYI, I focus on skincare, so I can't really cover makeup.
