I recently received a generous PR package from 4AM Marketing in Seoul, Korea featuring products from Tocobo — a K-beauty brand that holds a special place in my heart. Tocobo was actually the first K-beauty brand I ever discovered, so receiving this package felt like a full-circle moment. It included four full-size products focused on sun care and cleansing, and I couldn’t wait to unbox and try them. I’m sharing my first impressions below, and you can also watch my unboxing video for a closer look at the textures and packaging.

Why am I K-Beauty Obsessed ?
────୨ৎ────
Because it’s so much more than just skincare—it’s a whole experience. There's something genuinely fun and satisfying about the multi-step process: it’s thoughtful, intentional, and if you do it right, the results can truly transform your skin. What I love most is that K-Beauty proves you don’t need to splurge on overpriced designer brands to get real results. The products are often way more affordable, yet packed with innovation—from cutting-edge ingredients to clever packaging—and they actually work. That balance of effectiveness, accessibility, and creativity is what keeps me coming back (and constantly adding more to my routine!).
What's in the PR Package?

ㅤ♡ Calamine Pore Control Cleansing Oil
– A Gentle & Effective Double Cleansing Must-Have-
I absolutely love using the Calamine Pore Control Cleansing Oil during my shower routine — oil cleansers are my go-to first cleanser when I’m winding down in the evening. The calming calamine formula is incredibly gentle, and it melts away all traces of makeup, sunscreen, and buildup without leaving any greasy residue. For anyone with combination skin like mine, this oil feels nourishing and soothing. Double cleansing has been a non-negotiable step in my Korean skincare journey. Check my latest "Favorite YouTube Video" where I walk you through products empties that i have been loving lately including some common mistakes/tips to master your skincare journey.
🥥 Coconut Clay Cleansing Foam
-Soft, Creamy Cleanser with a Refreshing Scent-
This one is such a treat! The Coconut Clay Cleansing Foam has a creamy, luxurious texture that instantly foams up the moment it touches water. I’m obsessed with the coconut scent — it’s not overwhelming at all, just subtle and super soothing. After rinsing, my skin always feels deeply cleansed but never dry or tight. It’s the perfect second step in a double cleansing routine, especially if you want something that leaves your skin feeling fresh, soft, and hydrated. I honestly look forward to using it every night.
☀︎ Bio Watery Sun Cream SPF50+
-Lightweight Daily SPF for Sensitive Skin-
If you’re looking for an SPF that melts into your skin like a dream, the Bio Watery Sun Cream SPF50+ is a must-try. It’s incredibly lightweight and absorbs so quickly that it doesn’t feel like sunscreen at all — more like a hydrating moisturizer. I especially love how it works under makeup, with zero pilling or white cast. It's perfect for sensitive skin and ideal for everyday use, even on days when your skin feels a bit reactive. It’s now a staple in my AM skincare routine for reliable protection from the sun and UV rays without any of the harshness.
-`♡´-Cotton Soft Sun Stick SPF50+
– Matte, Mess-Free Sun Protection On the Go-
This sun stick is honestly such a great innovation for on-the-go reapplication. The Cotton Soft Sun Stick SPF50+ glides on like butter — no tugging, no greasy feel — and leaves behind a soft matte finish that’s perfect for oily or combination skin types. I love tossing it into my bag for a quick swipe across my cheeks, nose, and forehead during the day, especially if I’m heading to the pool or just being sun exposed for a prolonged period. The mess-free, touchless formula is such a game-changer for travel or daily commuting, and it’s one of those products you didn’t know you needed until you try it.
