Anyone else overwhelmed by how many K-beauty products exist? How do you even choose?

I’ve been scrolling through Korean skincare posts and there are just SO many options — different toners, essences, ampoules, creams, and thousands of brands selling them. Also, I feel like most recommendations are based on Korean skin types. I feel like there’s not enough K-beauty information for foreigners.

I want to build a routine but I honestly don’t know where to start or how to figure out what my skin actually needs.

How did you guys figure out your skin type and pick products that actually worked for you?
