Yay—let's recycle! Here’s a quick guide for when you've finished using all your products:
1. Make the products 'recycle ready' by rinsing it out and cleaning it. What if the product doesn't work for me? Give it to someone who might like to try it! That way, you will minimise wastage and give the product a second home. ♡♡
2. Get the DETAILS! Typically, most skin care packaging is recyclable in Australia, but what can and can’t be recycled depends on where you live. A quick Google search will reveal a recycling guideline based on your state / territory.
3. Can I put this in my recycling bin? If you've checked and the answer is 'yes', give these items a second life and put them in the recycling bin. If it's not, look into enterprises like TerraCycle, to help you properly recycle your beauty products. If the product is recycable through TerraCycle, it is FREE and all you have to do is gather your empty products together, print a recycling label and ship it out - that’s it! They’ll take care of the rest for you.
FYI, recycling plants uses numbers ranging from 1 to 7 to help sort all the materials. PETE stands for Polyethylene Terephthalate and PP stands for Polypropylene — these are both plastics. PAP represents paper / mixed paper / cardboard. See Earth Easy to learn more about your plastics.
That's it babes! Remember to love our earth; love our planet! #dontbetrashy

Beauty of Joseon's Light On Serum is primarily an anti-hyperpigmentation serum, although it does have some good moisturising credentials thanks to ingredients like centella, beta-glucan, glycerin and bisabolol. However, it generally isn't sufficient as a moisturizer on its own unless you have oily skin, or are supplementing it with a moisturizing sunscreen.
Beauty of Joseon's Light On Serum is hydrating, but not occlusive or likely to block pores. Therefore it would still suit oily skin, although you might need to use less, and use a mattifying or lightweight moisturizer on top depending on how oily your skin is.
Beauty of Joseon is a proudly cruelty-free brand, with several of their products being vegan as well.
Along with other humectants, the Beauty of Joseon Light On Serum does indeed contain hyaluronic acid. Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, to be exact. This is hyaluronic acid of a lower molecular weight, which is considered to better penetrate the skin.
Because Beauty of Joseon's Light On Serum is particularly suitable in a routine for dry skin, especially if hyperpigmentation or anti-aging are also skin concerns. It will help increase your skin's hydration levels thanks to the humectants in the formula. But don't skip a good moisturizer on top!
Because ginseng root has anti-inflammatory properties, Beauty of Joseon's Ginseng Moist Sun Serum can be good for acne-prone skin suffering from redness and irritation. It'll also help address dehydration caused by harsh anti-acne products or retinoids without clogging pores. Just be aware that there are some fragrant essential oils that can irritate those with a sensitivity towards natural fragrances. It also has a dewy finish, which those with oily skin may not love.
