Vitamin C Serum is the first in the line of actives that I have bought and this is what I decided to purchase based on reviews
http://www.amazon.com/serumtologie-Anti-Moisturizer-Evidence-Concentration-Clinically-Ingredients/dp/B00JLPM8AK
I read that concentration of Vitamin C must be at least more than 15% for it to have an effect on the skin. Vitamin C must be stored away from direct sunlight and in a reasonably dark place. Some users are known to store it in the refrigerator. Maybe this would make sense in India.
What I have bought is the Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF 50+ PA ++++
due to several glowing reviews it has got from K-beauty blogging veterans.
PA++++ is the highest range of UV protection according to some skincare industries. Japanese if I read right, though right now, I cant remember which blog I read this nugget of information.

Mizon All In One Snail Repair Cream
Mizon Snail All in one repair cream. One of my first Korean Skincare purchases. Comes in a sturdy glass bottle.
Snail mucus, the slimy stuff that snails feet leave on a surface when they slide along is apparently a wonder skin-repair thing. Did my research to find no snails are killed or ill treated in the process.
According the makers' advice Snail AIO repair cream should be used in place of an essence, i.e., Oil Cleanse, foam cleanse, tone, essence. Started using this today. Will figure out changes in 2 weeks I presume. This contains about 92% snail filtrate and claims to brighten skin and work on fading scars ideal for oily/acne prone skin. May also work on dry / normal skin if used under other products as the brand claims. But I did read that some bloggers with oily skin gave this one amazing reviews. You may google for the reviews yourself. Based on how this goes, I am thinking of getting the Ampoule from this range.
The 'What-I-Bought' list is longer. But additional information requires independent posts on the why-s hows and some skincare gyaan :p
Soon!
