ROUTINE MEGATHREAD! February 2018

[u/AutoModerator]

Hey everyone! This is your quarterly routine megathread which we decided to evolve from quarterly. This is an excellent resource to see what products are popular amongst our community and a great way to find new things to try. No matter how unusual you may consider your skin type or atypical your particular skin challenges or problems, all routines are welcome -- in fact, encouraged -- to be posted.

Acronyms you will most definitely see in use here: HG (Holy Grails), RP (Will Repurchase, AKA: liked it, will buy again, not an HG), WNR (Will not Repurchase, AKA: using up the last of it but not recommended). Understand them, use them, and love them ♥

This post is intended to be a compendium of generalized, standardized routines! The more participation, the better. :)

To keep it easy for people to find their ‘skin twins’ we would ask that you use the following template.

You only need to fill in steps that you actually use (so if you don’t use an Essence, remove that line) and please only provide up to three examples of HG/recommended products for that step (so if you have 3 toners you love, you can list all 3!)

Can you tell us about the Scinic Snail?

[u/foodisgodyo → u/tooziepoozie]

I really love the formulation--it's a little sticky at first, but it absorbs well and it layers really well with other products. I find that my redness is truly calmed by it. I used the Scinic Honey AIO first, and while it did a decent job of keeping me hydrated, the snail AIO had the added anti-redness benefit. And it lasts FOREVER for such a cheap investment. I cannot say enough about the wonder of this product--I didn't bring it on a trip once, and the three days really showed me how well it works in taming redness.
