It itched so I washed it straight off again! Snail it is for me. Snail mask going on shortly.

Frugal, I'll let you know about the pumpkin pack when I try it - am still working my way through the first of the Aritaum pouches I ordered. Quite impressed how long it's lasting tbh & I've been generous with applications too

I have the Tosowoong tea tree essence on my wish list mowglik, the LJH is a tad expensive for me atm (am only just getting comfortable with spending £10 on a product again after all these years ). How do you like it?

I ordered the scinic propolis ampoule, so we'll see if it makes the journey in one piece it was from one of the regular EBay sellers, Iamlove I think where's I think Lucysmam ordered it from an unknown one. I've also run out of the snail repair gel, which dd has been using so have ord red another one. I'm quite missing the constant need to order stuff although it's probably best for the bank balance.

I ordered from bizinside, News. I've had something else from them but can't remember what No problems with them so far though!

I've just had a thought - I'd best hold off on introducing anything else until after dp's mam's wedding in three ish weeks! I'd be alright introducing the COSRX whitehead liquid when it gets here like I had planned & then purging so my routine will stay as it is for the next few weeks - I'll still look though .

It'll be good for my bank balance to have a rest; any more orders would leave me with a backlog of things to try out & I'd be itching to get to them.

Wombat - I stopped using the OST C20 - I think it's way too drying - I did get slightly better results when mixing it with moisturiser but overall I'm not comfortable with it.

That's funny hattie cos I was just thinking this morning I need to find a C serum that's not as sticky as the OST. My skin is oily though so that may be why - I guess that's why they say YMMV when it comes to skincare.
lucysmam I am loving the Tosowoong tea tree essence it's really nice for oily skins though drier skins may not find it enough. It moisturises enough to make my skin feel comfortable but has none of that tacky feel. I don't know if it's preventing any breakouts though as I don't often get them and haven't had any new ones since

Got my Biore sunscreen yesterday and very very happy with it , thank you ladies . Also stated using retimax1500 and skin was very hydrated in the morning once again a very big thank you for all of you on this thread .Can I have some suggestions for a hydrating toner please ?

Jackie, Hada labo gokujyun lotion! Seriously...tis the dog's do-dah's Just under £9 a bottle & it'll last forever as you only need 4/5 drops for a full face.

Can you tell I lurve the HL?!

Thanks mowglik, I'll put that at the top of my 'to buy' list for after the wedding.

Jackiekatu not AB but the Body shop vitamin E toner is quite moisturising as is the Clinique moisture surge spray although more expensive. IF there's a nice AB one then maybe I'd have an excuse to buy something so perhaps someone else will suggest one.
