I shared my skincare routine last in August 2017, and said I’d make it a more regular segment here on the blog, if only for my personal reference, to remind myself of what works (and what doesn’t). What you may notice is that while the products will switch around and change from time to time, the structure of my routine remains pretty much the same, which is what makes it a “routine”.
In August, I was all about calming down my skin that was feeling sensitive. By September, my skin was calm and zen, and I was ready to play around again. But I set myself a goal.
I had a bunch of skincare that were either on their last legs, or almost expired, and I gave myself a challenge of either using them up, or tossing them out.
Happily, I ended up using up and emptying quite a few items, which made me very happy. I know it is odd to be happy about emptying a skincare product (I should be sad, as it means I have to purchase something to fit its missing hole in my routine) but I have other similar products waiting in line to take its place, and I was excited to have a go at them! 😀 #beautyjunkieproblems
So, here’s my skincare routine in September 2017 including what I’d finished, and I’ll tell you if I’ll repurchase them 🙂 Feel free to share your thoughts, or even your routine with me! I’m a nosy parker 😀
Where the products have been reviewed, links will be given to the review so you can read my thoughts in full detail, find out prices and where to buy etc. This is an overview with some additional follow up thoughts.
Day time Skincare Routine
After getting my skin back to normal from its sensitive self, I decided that it was time to start clearing out the random bits of skincare I had left behind. I often find I leave random remnants of skincare lying around, and I wanted to clear my dresser.
Cleanser – Antipodes Grace Gentle Cream Cleanser (empty)
The Antipodes Grace Gentle Cream Cleanser is one I like, with a scent that always, without fail, reminds me of a steaming hot “pau”. Makes me hungry everytime! LOL I like the texture and how lovely it makes my skin feel, and how hungry it makes me in the morning. But I’m not too crazy about the packaging. I’d prefer if it came in a pump packaging instead of a tube. Like toothpaste, by the time you reach the end of the product life, it gets harder and harder to squeeze out product. It’s empty now, but I like it, and I have a back up now. Yay! So yes, it’s a repurchase for me!
Face Mist – Caudalie Grape Water Spray (empty)
I spritz out the last of my Caudalie Grape Water Spray just 2 days ago, and I was a little sad about it. This is soothing and calming and adds a little moisture to the skin. It makes a nice base for oils that follow and acts as my “toner” step. This one’s an empty, and it’s a repurchase because I have a spare waiting in line too!
Facial Oil – Trilogy No. 15 Limited Edition Beauty Oil
I don’t usually use facial oil in the day as it can feel heavy, but I made an exception with the Trilogy No. 15 Limited Edition Beauty Oil, which is lovely and light and makes my skin feel comfortable all day. In the day, I use just 2 drops, massaged into my mist-dampened skin. It sinks right in, and leaves my skin feeling soft and comfortable. It’s packed full of antioxidants, which I felt made it suitable for use in the day. It is a limited edition product, and has been flying off the shelves, so I advise that you fly, don’t even bother running! 😀
Hydrating Serum – La Mer The Revitalizing Hydrating Serum (empty)
I can’t help noticing how quickly I used up the La Mer The Revitalizing Hydrating Serum after my August post. I had about a quarter of the bottle left there. Now, it’s all gone. Every last drop! I’ve had this since January, and I used it for about 2 months straight before scaling back, because it was running out and I loved it so much. I feel like the La Mer serum gives my skin an additional boost of hydration and to get over dryness or sensitivity. But I also felt that because I loved it so much, I owed it to myself to finish it. So I did. It’s all gone, and I’m a little sad looking at the empty bottle. I would love to repurchase because I love it that much, but the cost is rather prohibitive, and for this reason, I’ll bid it au revoir for now – till I scrape up enough moolah to buy it again.
Moisturiser – Melvita Apiscoma Soothing Face Cream (almost empty)
My skin loves the Melvita Apiscoma cream especially when it’s feeling sensitive or just off kilter. I would love to keep this as an emergency skin cure, but I also realised that because it’s an organic product with a short shelf life, I wouldn’t do it any justice letting it expire. So, I’m using it up right now. Just a few more uses left. Yes, it’s a repurchase!
Eye Cream – Shiseido Future Solution LX Eye and Lip Contour Regenerating Cream
I’m lax about eye creams, but some time in September, I was invited for a very exclusive event to introduce the luxury range of Shiseido Future Solution LX, and because I don’t have an eye cream in my routine, I slipped it in immediately. I quite like it. It is thick and creamy, but does not give me oil seeds, nor clog my pores. It feels comfortable and with regular twice a day use, seems to help depuff my tired eyes, make my eye bags look less red, and give a little lift to my lids. I’ll post in more detail in a later post to come.
Sunscreen – Shiseido Perfect UV Protector SPF50 PA++++ Wetforce
I had finished the Hydrofresh version, so I went back to the regular Shiseido Perfect UV Protector. This is still my first pick for sunscreen, despite the hefty price tag. I tried one from Senka in the middle of the month, that comes highly raved, but felt it didn’t protect my skin enough. I detected some new sun spots that did not make me happy. So I’m back to this Shiseido one. I might have found a substitute, but let me try it more and let you know later!
Night Time Skincare Routine
For the night, I too dug out some old products I’d almost used up, to clear out. I really did not want perfectly good products going to waste!
First Cleanse – Estee Lauder Advanced Night Micro Cleansing Balm (empty)
I told you about the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Micro Cleansing Balm a while ago, and I said that it was a decent product. But you are better off sticking to its clone, the Clinique Take The Day off balm cleanser, which has more product in there and better bang for your buck. Once I scraped the bottom of the tub, I was actually quite shocked at how little product there is in the tub. The base of the tub is about halfway from the bottom of the packaging, which is very deceptive. As a product, it is decent, but because it’s just too expensive for so little product, I will not repurchase.
Second Cleanse – Cerave Hydrating Cleanser
As I told you before this, you’ll be seeing quite a lot of the Cerave Hydrating Cleanser, as I’m working through it, and it’s gentle enough for a second cleanse if and when I need it.
Toner /Facial Mist – Caudalie Grape Water Mist (empty)
I forgot the mist in the picture, but it’s the Caudalie Grape Water spray again, to hydrate the skin and to act as a toner.
Facial Oil (Treatment) – Odacite Pa + G Papaya and Geranium serum
I decided to see if I could do something to lighten my pigmentation (the Senka sunscreen did not cut it!) and found the Odacite Papaya and Geranium serum for hyperpigmentation in my stash. I tried using it twice a day as recommended, but I have a suspicion it makes the problem worse (I’ll elaborate on this later) so I kept it to only for night. 3 drops, because its supposed to be potent. Will update in a separate post.
Eye Cream – Shiseido Future Solution LX Eye and Lip Contour Regenerating Cream
While waiting for the oil to sink in, I go in with the eye cream again. This is one of the few times that I’m actually hardworking about eye creams! Partly because I do like this, and the creamy texture that sinks right into my skin nicely.
Antiaging Serum – La Mer Genaissance de La Mer The Serum Essence (empty)
The Genaissance de La Mer The Serum Essence is something I told you about quite a long time ago. A premium range in the already premium La Mer skincare range. I’ve been a little hesitant to use it, because when you have a very expensive product, you keep wanting to “save it for something special” which usually never comes LOL! So, I decided I’d finish up what’s left of it.
The serum itself is quite nice, if I’m to be honest. It sinks in nicely into my skin, and it does seem to make my skin happy. I am not a fan of the La Mer creams, but their serums have been quite good for me, if a wallet-bustingly expensive habit to upkeep. But what this does for me, is give me well rested, calmer, more even textured skin. My skin feels soft and smooth, and redness is evened out and reduced. It reminds me a lot of the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair. Think of it then like an incredibly expensive version of the famous ANR. They are by the same parent company so I’m not surprised if there is some technology transfer. The difference will be the addition of La Mer’s Miracle Broth infusion in this product. If money is no object, this is a very nice serum. But money is an object for me, so I finished up the bottle, and with great reluctance, will not be able to repurchase 😛
Night Cream – Melvita Nectar Supreme La Creme (Empty)
The Melvita Nectar Supreme La Creme is a cream I like very much, and for those who want something natural and organic, this is the one you should go for. Beautiful texture, and leaves your skin soft and firmed. I had some scraping at the bottom of the tub left, and I told myself to finish it. It was too good to waste by throwing out! Will I repurchase? Well, maybe. Some day. For now, I have more exciting creams to try 😀
Night Skincare – Alternate Treatments
On alternate nights, or about 3 times a week, I give my skin a break and do a reset. These are the 2 products I use.
Pai Rosehip Bioregenerate oil
I use this after cleansing and the mist. 5 drops warmed up in the palm of my hand and massaged deep into my skin, and that’s it for that night. Read the review, and read this post if you want to know more about why I do this and why I use this oil. This bottle is a repurchase and I will keep repurchasing!
Alpha-H Liquid Gold
This is also a repurchase. Multiple times over. When I use the Alpha-H Liquid Gold, I use it after cleansing, by dropping some onto a cotton pad and wiping all over my face, neck and decolletage. That’s it for the night. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy! 😀 I love my Pai and Liquid Gold nights! LOL 😀
And that is briefly what I was using in terms of skincare for September 2017. If you are reading this and comparing it to my Instagram skincare routine posts, and wondering why they are different, do note that I switch up a lot, as long as products don’t irritate my skin, and I know my skin well enough to pause when I need to pause, and to ramp it up, when I need to ramp up my routine 😀
Righty then, do you have any questions on the products or my routines? How about sharing your empties!
I’m happy to answer questions. I’m actually really pleased to have amassed a nice collection of empty bottles and tubs to toss out. Now, I can move in my new skincare! Yay! haha 😀 What was your routine like? Did you have any empties to throw out and will you repurchase your empties? 😀

Hi Wan, thanks for sharing your routine 😀 I noticed you are a big Mary Kay user! I remember trying the timewise range once before. But never got into it because it’s relatively harder to get hold of. But glad you seem to be liking the Hada Labo Premium lotion. I love that one! 😀
I keep all my empties in case if there is any exchange or promotion. I have exchanged Nutox serum, not really an exciting product in red bottle so I gave it to my mum but she raved about the moisturising effect it has on her scaly skin on arm. It does calm the skin from redness and itchy dry skin from menopause when the lotions I gave her didn’t help her much. Not bad at all.
Good on you Margaret. That’s a form of recycling haha! I have never made it to one of those exchange things because I’m just too lazy to go and queue up. LOL Maybe I should keep some empty tubs and bottles lying around so I can exchange in future too 😀 The thing about skincare is that it’s so unique to every individual and I guess that’s how brands and products can survive, even if some of us think they don’t work 🙂
Daytime routine:
Clarins cleansing milk and toner
Deciem Hylamide SubQ serum
Dr. Jart ceramide cream (in the tube)
Shiseido Wet Force SPF 50
Night routine:
RMK cleansing balm
Caudalie cleansing foam
Pixi glycolic acid peel pads
Clinique fresh pressed daily booster with vitamin C
Dr. Jart ceramide cream (in the tube)
Vitamin C and glycolic acid have diminished many of my brown spots and made my complexion more even.
Thanks for sharing Evie! 🙂 I love seeing what people are using! I have a bottle (or maybe tube) of the Dr. Jart ceramide cream lying around. I should give it a go, because I hear it’s good! Ooh and you’re using the Pixi pads. I have them too but was saving them for when I travel haha! But since it’s not happening any time soon, maybe I should take them out and use them. I didn’t find the Clinique Vitamin C working for me, but glad you found they helped your skin 🙂
Tried Shiseido Future Solution range few years ago. I dont like the sweet bubble-gummy scent, and i didn’t liked the thick texture back then. Maybe now my skin will like it more.
Maybe I should give Caudalie Grape Water a try. My skin is super dehydrated.
It is still thick because it is more targeted to older skin. Maybe you were too young then la 😀 I like the eye cream best. Really does lift the skin and firm. The others I feel are kinda OK. As for your dehydrated skin, maybe add a hyaluronic product into your routine? If you aren’t already using one, the Hada Labo Premium Lotion is very good! (and cheap)
Hi Paris,
Morning:
1. Cleansing Water – Bioderma Sensibio H2O (used up countless bottles already 🙂
2. Serum – Drunk Elephant B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Gel (might not repurchase)
3. Eye cream – Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado (my go-to autumn/winter eye cream)
4. Sunscreen – Sekkisei White UV Emulsion SPF 50 PA++++ (my latest discovery and it’s awesome! Chemical sun filters sans avobenzo [not a fan as I found it not an effective UVA filter through my research/previous uses and stings eyes], zero white cast and allergic reactions)
** I live in Canada, so as temperatures drop, I may add a layer of Marc Jacobs Under(cover) Perfecting Coconut Face Primer or Paula’s Choice Moisture Boost Hydrating Treatment Cream after Serum/B-Hydra
Nighttime:
1. Eye makeup remover – Lancome Bi-Facil (Shu Uemura Eyebrow Manicure really does last all day!) Never had to purchase a bottle, always get freebies from bonus/Sephora rewards 🙂
2. Cleanser – Olay Regenerist Regenerating Cream Cleanser (will repurchase)
3. Toner – MAC Lightful C Toner (discontinued so can’t repurchase) or Sulwhasoo Timetreasure Renovating Water EX (I like very much)
4. Serum – Lancôme Advanced Génifique (just started using, so far I like)
5. Exfoliant – Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid (staple)
6. More Serum or Booster? LOL – Paula’s Choice RESIST Brightening Essence (it absorbs instantly, can even use it during daytime – will repurchase)
7. Eye Cream – Aveda botanical kinetics energizing eye creme (it’s alright…)
8. Face Cream – Paula’s Choice Moisture Boost Hydrating Treatment Cream (a good budget basic moisturizer)
I was going to try the Senka sunscreen, but after your comments I’m not keen of trying any more, moving onto next down the wish list 🙂
Hi DK Thanks for sharing your routine and what you’d repurchase (or not!)! Ooh I’ve heard so much about Drunk Elephant products. Haven’t tried any, because they were hard to get hold of, but after the initial hype, I’m starting to hear more rumblings of discontented users. So maybe I’ll be less interested. I remember using the Sekkisei sunscreen once too. It wasn’t bad, that I can recall 🙂 I have to try some Paula’s Choice – I hear some of the products are really good!
Thank You for sharing with us your September routine! ?
Glad you enjoyed it. What was yours like?
LOVED looking through the photos you posted on IG on your routine, even happier that you blogged about it!
Morning routine –
Go-To Properly Clean cleanser (an Australian brand, it’s amazing!!)
Clinique Moisture Surge Face Spray
Olay Ultimate Eye Cream (doesn’t seem to do anything to depuff my eye bags, but too sayang to throw it away, a little bit more to go and I’ll look for something else)
Estee Lauder ANR
Clinique Moisture Surge Thirst Relief
Shiseido Perfect UV Protector Wet Force (tried so many others but this is really the best for my skin)
Night time routine –
Dr LeeWin’s 4 Fusion Cleansing Oil (thank you for blogging about this one, bought it because of your review and skin is loving it)
Go-To Properly Clean cleanser
Ren Clarimatte Toner
Olay Ultimate Eye Cream
Pai Rosehip Oil/ Go-To Face Hero (depending on skin condition, when I am all hormonal, Face Hero is my best friend)
Moogoo Anti-Ageing Face Cream (heavier cream for night, sometimes I skip this step)
Most of the above will be repurchased with the exception of the eye cream, toner and Moogoo face cream (too heavy as it’s getting warmer here in Oz)
Hi KT, I’m glad you’re enjoying this series! I used to share them occasionally, but I decided it was actually more helpful to everyone (and myself) by doing a monthly/bimonthly routine, so I know what is working (or not) for me 🙂 Also, I love seeing what other people are using too so thank you for sharing yours! 😀
I’m really happy that you too find the Shiseido sunscreen a good one. I’ve wandered around but can’t seem to find a substitute for this one either. I guess my wallet just has to cry once every 2 months or so LOL! Oh and Dr. Lewinns cleansing oil is SO GOOD! I’m back on cleansing balms, but thanks for reminding me. I might pick one up as an alternative. Happy you like it too! I haven’t heard of Go-To actually, but you’ve got me intrigued!
Love this post :-). I think I have posted up my routines in your August post so wont be posting it here again.
I purchased a few similar products such as Caudalie Grape Water Spray, Trilogy LE oil & Melvita Apiscoma Cream due to your recommendation. Love all these picks. Lol.
Just wanted to add that acid toning with Pixi Glow has improved my skin. I used to acid tone everyday except on days when I used Alpha Liquid Gold but it dried out my skin. I decided to change my routine after reading a comment from your reader in your August routine post. So my routine now is acid tone 3 times a week in the mornings, use Alpha Liquid Gold twice a week & for 2 days a week (after Alpha Liquid Gold days) I dont acid tone. Also added Hylamide Vit C (which I bought via ASOS-thanks for recommending that website) to my skincare. So my skin is brighter now with less breakouts.
I am liking the Trilogy Oil & will consider using the Pai one soon. Both Trilogy & Pai also have anti-aging ingredients?
Thanks Victoria – it will be a recurring one more often. I’ve found it helpful for my own record 😀 I’m glad you have enjoyed the same products I have. You don’t know what a relief that is to me! Haha! 😀 I do agree about acid toning being quite a skin changer. It really does help. But I’ve cut back because my skin went bonkers, so now I don’t acid tone as much (good for my wallet coz I’m using Lotion P50!) and just go at it about 2-3 times a week and only at night. Ah Asos is good – they do lots of sale codes which is when I go and browse 😛 I haven’t repurchased the Hylamide Vit C yet, but it really was very effective. As for Pai and Trilogy, yes they are both anti-aging, but use different oils 🙂
Love love your postings, Paris B. I have bought the Melvita products after reading your post and love them.
But can you explain exactly what is acid toning?
Thanks and looking forward to more postings!
Hi Gina, thank you for your support and I’m happy that the Melvita recommendations have worked out for you! Acid toning is a bit of a general term. It basically means using a toner (lotion) that contains acids like AHA (lactic which is more gentle or glycolic) or BHA (salicylic) on skin. This gently exfoliates the skin and preps it for receiving other products you use. Hope this helps!
Hi Paris,
Checking out other people’s routines is a great way to discover new products. I will have to try some of the Antipodes products and the Pai oil.
Products that I keep repurchasing are:
Clinique Take the Day Off cleansing balm
Alpha H Liquid Gold
Biologique Recherche P50
Caudalie Vine Activ Overnight Detox Oil
Hylamide SubQ Anti-Age serum and the NIOD Copper Amino Isolate 1% (I use them on rotation) SkinCeuticals Brightening UV Defense and their Mineral Radiance UV Defense tinted.
Second cleansers are always changing, but I do tend to gravitate towards REN, I like the Clarifying Clay Cleanser and Alpha H Balancing Cleanser. I have combination skin that used to be very breakout prone until I figured out which products to use.
Moisturizers change all the time as well. I’m currently using the Time Bomb Powerball Intensive Moisturizer and Murad Hydro-Dynamic Ultimate Moisture, both are wonderful. I also love Perricone MD Hypoallergenic Nourishing Moisturizer, but don’t like spending too much on a moisturizer, so I’m always on the lookout for more affordable ones. The Murad one is also on the expensive side, but I got it on sale and it’s really good, and will last a long time. I think it might be a keeper.
Hi Ivana, thanks for sharing your routine! Like you, I too love seeing what others are using because you never know if you might find a new favourite! I’m looking at your list of repurchases and nodding in agreement 😀 I too love the same things you do, except the Caudalie oil (haven’t tried it before) and the Hylamide SubQ serum (wasn’t too impressed) and NIOD CAIS (haven’t yet tried). Oh I love REN products – their cleansers are always so lovely! I gravitate to cream cleansers and they make really nice ones. I’m trying the Murad Overnight Detox Moisturiser, and you know, it’s not bad! A little pricey though.
All of the products you haven’t tried or were not impressed with work better for oily or combination skin. I find that they prevent breakouts and help my skin heal faster when an occasional zit appears. I know some people with dry skin that love the Caudalie oil, so you could check that one out, but it has a dry oil feel, and if I remember correctly you don’t particularly like those 🙂 Will try Murad Overnight Detox Moisturizer sometime. Thanks!
Thanks Ivana, and yes, I’m definitely not the target market for a product that doesn’t have some element of cream or oil to it! But that’s what makes everything interesting, and I do have to make it clear that my skincare routine is perhaps more suited for someone in their 40’s than in their 20’s! 😀
True, although I wish I knew about some of these products when I was in my 20s. I think sensitive and reactive skins can benefit too, no matter how young (minus heavy oils and anti-aging stuff of course). Thank you for taking the time to reply. Looking forward to more posts like this.
Tell me about it! I suffered through a face full of acne as a teen and in my 20’s. Wish I knew better then what I know now! 🙂 There will be more posts along this line to come for sure!
Sharing mine since a reader mentioned it’s a great way to discover new products.
My pm routine since am routine is simply to slap on any moisturiser and Biore sunblock before rushing to work.
Bifesta Cleansing Lotion Moist
Emma Hardie Amazing Face Moringa Cleansing Balm
Astalift Lunamer Brightener
Missha The First Treatment Essence
Missha Time Revolution Night Repair
Missha Time Revolution Immortal Youth Cream or SKII Stempower Cream or Emma Hardie Moisture Boost Vitamin C Cream-sample
Kiehl’s Daily Reviving Concentrate-sample
The EH vitamin C cream sample I got from Caliata.com website. It has the signature heady jasmine oil smell which mask off the Kiehl’s citrusy smell.
Thanks for sharing yours, Margaret, and yes, it is always interesting to see what people are using in their skincare routine! 😀 Ooh do you like the EH cleansing balm? I do like it (but I find the scent a bit strong) but the texture is so lovely! 😀
Oh, yes I love the EH cleansing balm. It’s my first foray with oily balm as cleanser. I have been a Biore type of girl having spend my growing years with it. It’s fortunate that I have a penchant for jasmine, it reminds me of mum’s jasmine bush in Kuantan. I tried three different ways to emulsify the balm and I found one that can work. It’s surprising that I only use a weeny bit, just the half of the spatula to clean the whole face. So far, method no. 3 is the best:
1) Premix the balm and water in palm before spreading it to face. Nope, it doesn’t work.
2) Use it neat to spread the balm to fast and attempt to emulsify in the shower. Skin stays greasy till I rubbed them off with muslin.
3) Spritz my face damp with water and spread the balm onto the skin. Balm immediately turns milky white. Very easily washed off with water.
Hi Paris,
Have you stop using the Dr Brandt vit C serum in your daily routine?Can’t wait for your review abt Odasite serum..anything on pigmentation,I’m curious?.
Hi Zazz yes I have stopped the Dr. Brandt for now, because I wanted to try something else, and it was the Odacite I’m trying. I don’t know yet. It doesn’t seem to work half as well for me, as everyone else is claiming 😛 I’m going to be adding a Vitamin C serum back into my routine, because this isn’t working out as well as I thought it would 🙁
The latest empty I’m upset about is the Anessa sunscreen but I still have the WetForce as back up. My friend in Singapore picked one up for me at Watsons though. Yay! It’s SGD39.90 and sometimes there’s promo of buy 2 get 1 free. So when there’s this promo, she knows to buy it for me asap without asking. LOL!
Oh that’s affordable in Singapore! I’ve been using it for a while, and I do like it a lot. But when I went back to Shiseido just to compare, I did feel like it felt and looked better somehow LOL But it definitely is better protection for my skin than Senka that everyone was raving about. That one I felt did my skin no service 🙁 It was cheap though.
Hope this will become a regular segment 🙂
I have used up some stuff and updated my routine with more hydrating anti-ageing products, especially since the dry fall/winter weather is approaching soon. Trying out Sulwhasoo now – heard it’s good for anti-ageing! 🙂
My daytime routine:
1. Pat with wet towel
2. Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum
3. Laneige White Dew Emulsion
4. Laneige White Dew Original essence
5. Laneige White Dew cream
6. Eye cream (currently using Olay)
7. Laneige SPF50 sunblock
My nighttime routine:
1. Remove makeup with Simple Michellar Water (I only use a bb cushion)
2.Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum
3. Sulwhasoo Essential Balancing Lotion
4. Sulwhasoo Essential Balancing Emulsion
5. Olay Micro-sculpting Serum
6. Olay Micro-sculpting Cream
7. Eye cream (currently using Olay)
Yes it will be Tracy 🙂 Monthly or bi-monthly depending on how things change 🙂 Thanks for sharing your routine, and oh dear, with fall and winter come the heavy duty skincare don’t they? 😀 I have tried some Sulwhasoo and of all the Korean brands I’ve used, this is the one I feel is more effective! I’ve tried the same ones you have (samples) and I liked them. So good choice! Oh and the Olay cream is a good one too! All round good picks 😉
Wow, glad to hear about the good reviews for Sulwhasoo coming from the beauty guru 🙂 I have been using them for the past month, and I like them a lot – I get better-rested skin 🙂 Only downside is it is definitely way more expensive than Laneige! Also, Olay has always been a staple favourite for me for their creams – I still remember that tub of pink cream years back!
