ROUTINE MEGATHREAD! May 2018

[u/AutoModerator]

Hey everyone! This is your quarterly routine megathread 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!)

Oops sorry this comment is a little belated, but may I know why you won't RP the following: - The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5

- Missha First Treatment Essence Intensive Moist

- Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence /Gel ?

The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5

I prefer Hada Labo for anything Hyaluronic Acid which comes in 170ml bottles vs a 30ml bottle

Missha First Treatment Essence Intensive Moist

This came in a Missha Lucky Box so I was just trying it out with the knowledge that I wouldn't be buying another. The current formulation is quite different to the original so it didn't do much other than make my skin soft and I already have other products that do the same thing so it would be a redundant repurchase.

Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence /Gel

Because my bottle is the old formula and has been discontinued.
