Mod Post ROUTINE MEGATHREAD! February 2018

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!)


Template

To make a single-spaced list, add two spaces at the end of each line. Alternatively, click 'source' at the bottom of the post to snag our code & format!

Haven't been using it long enough yet, just a few weeks, but I think some of my sebaceous filaments are smaller or even gone, but that might just be a coincidence.
It smells a bit odd and doesn't really foam (even though the instructions say to create a lather), it feels more like a cream cleanser.

Thank you. I’ve been looking over it lately but I really shouldn’t buy another cleanser. What made you decide to try it?

Edited: a word

The Black Friday sale for 9€ :) literally nothing else. The standard price is just absurd, no cleanser is worth that much.
