I see that Costco is carrying the Maycoop Raw Sauce, touted to be a toner, essence, and lotion 3-in-1, for $9.97 a 5 oz bottle.
Does anyone have experience with this product?

Anyone try the A’pieu sheet masks? I picked up two at Target - Pure Milk, and Strawberry Milk - but I’m so new to all this that I’m hesitant to try anything I haven’t already heard good things about!

I have it and it’s not HG for me but really nice and moisturizing. At that price, I would pick up some more. It did help revive my skin after it was burnt off with that heinous laser facial. I really like the scent, too. |

I just opened and tried the Cosrx propolis light ampoule. I’ve heard good things, so I’m really excited to see if there is a noticeable difference adding this product to my routine. I also realized as I was putting it on, that I’m allergic to bees....paused....and then kept patting it in.  OMG! Well keep us posted! 😉 Happy to report all went okay! My skin looked great when I woke up this morning. I had an angry red spot on my cheek that had been bothering me for a few days - I actually think a bug bit me there - and this morning it was gone! Not sure if the cosrx propolis has anything to do with that, but nonetheless - I’m a fan and will keep using it. 😁 |

I’ve only tried the sunscreen (which I love) - not the masks. Interested to see what you think of them! |

Not yet but I have a couple I got as free samples from yesstyle.com in my stash. I think I have the green tea and coffee ones. The packaging is cute so I hope they’re decent! |

I’ve only tried the sunscreen (which I love) - not the masks. Interested to see what you think of them! I've tried them. They smell nice, fit decent and come with a ton of essence. I did find the mask itself to be thinner than others so careful it doesn't rip. I have sensitive skin and didn't react at all. Overall, a solid mask and one for the right price I would buy again. catspajamas, |

So here are my favourites: 1) Banila Co Clean It Zero - I use the Purity variation of this. My skin loves it. It washes clean away and lasts forever for me. 2)Corsx Snail Mucin - It is the best. Taitai has completely converted me. I will never be without. 3) History of Whoo Jinyulhyang Intensive Cream - This cream is very Hydrating and little goes a long way. I can use a pea size amount for my whole face. It also layers nicely when I need extra moisture on my cheeks. This is not my everyday lotion but my go to when my skin is very dry for whatever reason. One night of this and I am back to even. 4)Laneige Eye Sleeping Pack - This is a recent find with some samples I recieved. This is one of only a couple eye creams that I have used where I actually saw a difference the following morning. It worked really well on dark circles and puffiness to the point that by day three I contemplated going under eye makeup free and knew I wouldn't look haggard. I will be finding this in full size. This also only one of a couple of eye creams that didn't cause my eyes to redden to the point of looking drunk, so it is a double win for me. 4) Glow watermelon sleeping mask - I love the look after I use this. If I want my skin to be very even, glowing and hydrated for something. This is what I reach for. 5) The History of Whoo Honey Ginseng Sleeping Mask - This is my powerhouse sleeping mask. It is crazy Hydrating and tone balancing. When I need the big guns, I pull this out. As with Sulwhasoo, this stuff is $$$ but it is the longest lasting sleeping mask that has had the most use in my drawer. If it came down to a forced choice I would buy this before Glow. Bonus: 6) Laneige BB Cushion - This is my new favourite makeup. The shade goes light enough for me which is very unusual. It goes on sheer with buildable coverage and is easy to apply with the supplied cushion. It doesn't feel heavy at all, even in the areas that need the coverage. It wears well through a long day and I needed very little touch up oil control powder. Best of all, it doesn't break me out which is very common in other brands. |

So here is what I didn't like:
Most of my dislikes are due to things like smell or product feel. I have sensitive skin so I do a lot of ingredient checking before I put something on and I tend to stay within a few safe brands.
1)Sulwhasoo Ginseng Renewing Cream - The smell on this was horrible to me and I saw no difference in my skin.
2)History of Whoo Jinyulhyang Essence - Same as above
3) Skinfood Peach Cotton Emulsion - This was very slippery to apply and then dried tacky.
There are other products that I have tried but my skin has reacted to but that is all I can recall at the moment.

My friend picked it up for me as a day cream, which could function as a quasi primer and pore minimized. I ended up using the whole jar, because it didn’t irritate my skin, but I much, much prefer the Skinfood Peach Sake Serum. I also agree with you that History of Whoo has some pretty strong scents. The Sulwhasoo ginseng renewal cream scent doesn’t bother me, but it is too heavy for where I live. I only use the samples I have of it when I go to really dry climates on travel. |

You’ve convinced me to give the laneige eye sleeping pack a try! Adding to amazon wish list. The next time I’m at duty free, I’m also going to look and see if they have the History of Whoo Honey Ginseng sleeping pack. 👍 ETA - I also love Banila clean it zero (purity), and I miss it. The Kose speedy oil I am using now is okay - it gets the job done and doesn’t break me out - but I am bored by it. |

I don't wear much makeup but the bb cushion sounds like something I might like, thanks for the recommendation! |

This is not all AB but here’s my favourites from this year
- CosRx Snail Mucin
- CosRx low PH good morning cleanser
- Laneige lip sleeping mask
- Ole Henrickson banana bright eye cream
- Caudalie beauty elixir
- NRK sheet masks. I like the snail, collagen and HA ones I’ve tried
And I just started using the Caudalie cleansing oil and am liking it so far. I also used a travel sized of the Boscia make up breakup oil and liked it a lot too.
The Kose Speedymo cleansing oil was great for getting rid of makeup but caused me some serious acne problems on my cheeks

Sheet mask favorites:
-Ariul 7 Days Mask: Bamboo Water
-Bonnyhill Tea Tree Soothing
-Facetory Oh My Goodness Rejuvenating Snail
-Oseque Dual Bubble TocToc
-Papa's Recipe Bombee Honey
Sheet mask maybes: if I needed to hit a free shipping limit or saw a good deal, I would probably grab them again
-Dr. Plus Banana Milk
-Oerbeau Nourishing Mask Hold Me Tight
-Facetory Let's Talk Detox
-BaraBoni Cucumber
Sheet mask nopes: I know everyone has different skin reactions, limits with scents, etc so I'm limiting my list to brands that I've tried twice and was disappointed each time.
-Dear Packer, tried two different ones (Rice and Olive) but the fit was awful
-Wonjin, tried two different ones (Water Bomb and Honey Bomb) and got a couple white heads the following day or two.

I'm really new to all this, and to be honest I have not felt like I've noticed a major change in my skin yet, but I'm definitely taking better care of my skin than I have in a long time and I enjoy the routine. So far I love the Klairs toner and I personally love the Sulwhasoo ginseng renewal cream - I don't mind the smell, and I only use it at night so although it's heavy, it feels great to slather on before bed. I love it. I really like the balancing emulsion, too. I want to try their ginseng eye cream next! I have their essential eye cream that came in my sample kit, and the Benton fermentation eye cream, and haven't been wowed by either so far.

Good to know, I hadn't heard much about the time treasure line. I think I'll like the ginseng eye cream since I love the ginseng. My wallet is going to wish I'd never heard of Sulwhasoo, isn't it.... |

It has maple and you can definitely pick that up in the smell, kind of fruity, too. |

@karenwalker, I am giggling at the thought of apple Jolly Rancher scented skin care product. I KNOW! It feels so silly, but I like it! To make matters worse, the Glow Recipt watermelon stuff also smells like a jolly rancher! I have a very mature routine right now! 🙈 Thanks to your endorsement, I bought that cleansing oil and really like it! But, my husband enjoys the smell so much he has claimed this as his and now has a little AB routine of his own. |

Yes for getting the Hs hooked! DH likes the cosrx low ph cleanser, but that’s about all i can get him to use consistently. I bought Murad moisturizer for him, but it’s really hit or miss on whether he uses it.
Oh - I have seen him using the snail when he has razor burn or heat rash on his face, so that’s a win.

So I am seeing some great results in my skin texture, moisture, and softness but still having issues with redness and jawline/chin pimples. I know most of this is hormonal so not much can be done, but maybe there is something I'm missing? If anyone could maybe troubleshoot with me I would appreciate it! Also are the pimple patches useful for the underground pimples? They never surface just are painful bumps for a few days/week then go away then resurface. Thanks! Current routine: Mizon snail repairing foam cleanser Manyo factory clearskin toner(3 times a week) Manyo factory special treatment essence niacin Mizon snail repair intensive ampoule Manyo factory white vita-c serum Eye cream Moisturizer I do use acids, but what I have found most helpful for dealing with acne is this: www.amazon.com/dp/B00V4JPXO4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_WhdoCbZD70Q7YI put it on daily in the morning after I wash and use toner. It really helps prevent breakouts and make them go away faster. I do occasionally use patches on pimples that haven't surfaced. Sometimes they help them to surface and they definitely help me to leave them alone and not make them worse. |

I also realized as I was putting it on, that I’m allergic to bees....paused....and then kept patting it in. This made me breakout so bad. Hopefully not true for you! It is the only cosrx product that hasn't worked for me and I have used at least a dozen of their products. I am also allergic to bees, hmmmm. |

My skin has been a bit softer and I feel like my skin tone is more even. Who knows is that is from the ampoule though. Either way, I’m going to keep a close watch on it! DNW a new breakout or new bumps! |
