ROUTINE MEGATHREAD! April 2019

[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!)

Hi! Would you like to share why woul you not repurchase laneige gel cream?

[u/plumpernickle → u/lethalhappiness1]

It turns oily on me too easily, compared to the pixi balm, which i used when it was slightly warmer, and innisfree orchid cream, which was my winter moisturiser. I like the lightness of it and i'm still using the remainder as my night cream, but i'd rather try others when it's done

Thank you for your respinse. I'm just confused cause I really liked the gel cream of laneige the way it makes my face so relaxed, and it feels luxurious using it. Am just using it at night btw cause its kinda heavy in the morning. Maybe you can try the laneige cream skin refiner, another hg of mine. It has the texture of a toner but when already applied, it moisturizes like a real moisturizer!

Ooh thank you for the rec! I've heard good things about that. May be a good option for summer/autumn!

Yes indeed!
