What are your holy grail skincare products?

[ZikyungDerp]

Obviously everyone's skin is different and reacts differently to products. But I'm curious what products you have as staples in your routine

For me, I go through bottles and bottles of the I'm From Rice Toner (I've tried other brands of rice toners but find this one far better than any others, it helps even my skintone a lot and just generally brightens my skin better than any other skincare product I've tried)

The Canmake Mermaid Skin Gel UV is my forever sunscreen. No chalky smell, no white cast, SPF 50 and it doubles as a makeup primer - she's the GOAT. I literally order this in bulk and stock pile it so I never run out aslkdjfksldjf

I also almost exclusively use Nature Republic sheet masks now, unless somebody gifts me a mask from another brand. I've tried sooo many brands throughout the years and the Nature Republic ones make such a huge difference and they're super affordable.

Tell me your holy grails!

For me it's Holika Holika SPF 50 sunscreen with aloes. I used to use a normal moisturiser year round and in the summer put a sunscreen on top of it, but after few month every moisturiser would stop working and make my forehead full of dry skin, while the sunscreens would make me break out like crazy. Once I started using this tho I haven't had either of those problems + I use a spf whole year round now

The future possible holy grails are could be
Apis Aloe Vera gel - I've been using it for the last 2 months as a night cream and and I already though it made my skin look nicer and more moisturised, especially my forehead and elbows and even stop most of the acne from appearing on my chest and arms (maybe even a bit on my face), but in a combo with

Apis Orange Water face mist - in just 2 weeks it made my forehead wrinkles completely disappear, I really started to think they weren't caused just by lack of moisture in my skin at this point, but turns out I was wrong. I've also been using it before applying my sunscreen just for some extra hydration in the morning

But I haven't been using either of these for that long, so I don't know if the effects will last, so that's why for now they are only possible holy grails​

Water:
Wash your face in warm to hot water and open the pores. When finished cold water.
Witch hazel:
A bit on a cotton pad to clean the pores. It is very mild and has been used forever. Can be used around the eyes but avoid direct exposure.
Zinc oxide(aka baby butt cream):
Dab a little on pimples or breakouts and leave for awhile. Avoid eyes.
Cornstarch baby powder:
Rashes, hives or general redness it works miracles. Avoid eyes.

Skin1004's Madagascar Sun Serum. I gave up on wearing cushion/powder foundation daily and had to get my SPF somewhere else. It's super moisturising and the finish feels amazing

Nature Republic's Aloe soothing gel. It's literally an anything product and lasts what feels like forever

As for cushion foundation, I've been using Heimish's Artless Perfect cushion for years. It has a nice finish, doesn't feel too heavy and lasts a decent amount of time ~

If you want to go high-end, I like YSL's Touche Éclat foundation. While it doesn't last the longest. I like the feel of it, and it feels amazing. Plus, the packaging is pretty cute too! iirc the Encre De Peau was also pretty nice too. But I liked this one better. (but idk if they still package it in a cute case like this anymore)

As for sheet masks/masks in general.
- Holika Holika nose masks. esp the Strong or 'no water' variants

- Innisfree Skin Clinic masks. esp the hyaluronic acid one. They're amazing! Though I don't touch their regular fruit/floral sheet masks.
