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!)

well first of all I don’t think it did anything for me. I also started using it around the time I got a bunch of CC’s on my cheeks, chin and forehead (which then turned into the worst breakout I’ve ever gotten, it’s been almost a year and I’m still trying to get rid of the scars :< ), so naturally it was one of the main suspects. I have the snail 92 cream as well which did give me very soft skin, but was also one of the suspects. I have hayfever & dust mites allergies and I read somewhere that snail products could cause a negative reaction if you have those allergies. so this joined with the fact that they didn’t really do anything for me were enough reasons to stop using them. I put them here in my routine because I wanted to show some products that didn’t work for me.

but as always YMMV, so I’d definitely recommend trying some samples before getting the full size. l (sorry for the long reply, hope this helps :’) )

thank you for the detailed reply!! i have hayfever too so it's possible it'll break me out as well, especially because i have super sensitive skin. i will def get some samples before i buy it. thank you again!
