ORIGINAL POST

I’m a beauty product junkie and wondering where the best stuff is at. Not the stuff you can get at Sephora, since I already live right by one. I love Korean products, oo35mm is probably the best store I’ve found for that. I wanna know the hidden gems!

Not really hidden gems, but there's a Tonymoly shop and a The Face Shop on W 32nd! The Face Shop often does GREAT deals on sheet masks (buy 10, get 10 free).

The Korean lifestyle store Åland opened up recently in Williamsburg; they've got the first floor dedicated to skincare and accessories like sunglasses. I went recently to stock up on Cosrx (my love) since they have more of the brand's offerings than oo35mm. To be honest I can't remember any of the other brands except klairs, but it was fun to check out.

Someone tell me how they're making rent though, that place is massive.

Besides that, New Kam Man on Canal St is a Chinese/Pan-Asian grocery store but has an amazing 2nd floor of makeup and skincare. Japanese and Korean products primarily, but they've also got my fave Taiwanese sheet masks. Always great to browse!

Sunrise Mart on Stuyvesant is also a grocery store specializing in Japanese ingredients and goods (lol do you sense a theme here with my shopping) but they've got a small selection of skincare products as well.

FamilyMart in Astoria is like a Japanese bodega and they also have a little beauty aisle as well, although I'm mostly there for snacks.

[misc] best skincare places to visit in nyc?

Posted by nattydaddy98 · in r/SkincareAddiction · 6 years ago

Mods, please delete if this is not permitted!

Hello, all!

I’ll be taking a trip to NYC next week to take some classes. I would love to know of some skincare/beauty places that are good to check out. I’m open to spas as well as retails. I JUST discovered the birch box store is closed which is super disappointing, but what are some other good places to visit?

Thanks in advance!

[Review] Amazing beauty supply store find in NYC!

Posted by Gypsy_S0UL · in r/SkincareAddiction · 7 years ago

On the recommendation from a fellow SCA, I went to oo35mm in Chinatown in NYC and had THE best experience! The saleswoman, Joyce, was so crazy knowledgeable about every single skincare product stuffed into this tiny second floor storefront. I was blown away. I am in no way affiliated with this place; I just really had such an amazing, genuine experience that from now on, this will be the only place I go! Not only do they carry an abundance of Asian skincare products, but lots of others including some HGs from SCA. Highly recommend to anyone visiting or living nearby!

I know NYC already has a few Deciem stores, but if you're close to Chinatown this store also carries most of the TO line! The markups are minimal, less than subway fare I believe. They also sell Asian makeup products and interesting trinkets. Plus, they're generous with samples and sometimes give you these cute reusable shopping bags that fold up into a strawberry shape!

Hey! About 6 months ago someone told me about a shop in China Town Manhattan where they were able to get the Timeless Vit C serum! I haven't been able to find it.... Where do you buy your skin care in NYC? Do you have a whole in the wall local shop? Go to spot in Korea or China town? I'd love suggestions to check out!

New Kam Man in Chinatown has it upstairs and tasty asian treats in the supermarket on the ground floor. I highly recommend. Also good for bulk sheet masks and bigger brands. oo35mm is just around the corner and has literally everything else. Prices are higher than online but not too bad for the instant satisfaction, ability to sample, and no shipping. Plus the girls who work there are very knowledgable and helpful.

What is your favorite beauty supply in NYC?

Posted by panamenopapi · in r/AskNYC · 5 years ago

I used to go to Ricky’s near Union Square but according to Google Maps, they have closed down.

I buy hair color, developer, and powder lightener (usually Pulp Riot’s hair color), and have struggled to find other stores that carry these products. Outside of the city I go to Sally’s but they don’t seem to have very many of those here.

I am looking for a store near Downtown Brooklyn, or Lower Manhattan ideally. I’m also not licensed so places like CosmoProf/SalonCentric unfortunately won’t be available.

Yes! My fav is on flatbush right by cortelyou. I believe it’s Black owned and it’s called Metro beauty. They got great selection of alternative hair dyes for cheap.

I also fond the prices at sally’s to be affordable as well for manic panic and artic fox. There’s one on the ues in the 80s. The ulta on 86 usually has bogo on hair dyes as well.

You need a good cleanser depending on the skin type. Cerave Cleansers are good. I use the Salicylic Acid 2% Cleanser and regular a cleanser for oily skin.

Use a good retinol at night. I also use adaplene on alternate days.

A good facial moisturizer from La Roche Posay. Like the tullerian.

A good tinted sunscreen specially a mineral one would make your face glow. Make sure it’s water and sweat proof. Or reapply throughout the day. I am a guy and the sunscreen removed the dullness from my face. I got many compliments because nobody can see if it’s makeup or sunscreen. It even out your skin tone and gives a radiant fresh look. It’s all because of the iron oxides and titanium inside a sunscreen.

No matter what you do, you need these basics down first. Otherwise no amount of skin care will work.

You might also need a good antibiotic course if you have acne in the beginning. So you can always consult a dermatologist.

I agree with this one, get a simple moisturizer that doesn't really clog your skin and get a good simple cleanser to wash your face. Stay away from anything that's super scented or gimmicky "super macho man ocean breeze face blaster by Old spice" or whatever. Maybe get a light SPF for when you'll be outside.

A few things that will help with your skin: -Hyaluronic Acid to help with wrinkles -Vitamin C to help with fine lines. -Retinol to help with skin aging and discoloration

Wear sunblock with lotion, even if inside, because office lights can dry your skin out and if you're near a window it can still have an effect. There are some great products out there that are decent in price. My dermatology office tends to carry Cera Ve and Laroche Pose because they're effective and decent in price.
