We're back with another Community Picks!
This week's category is gentle cleansers.
Share in the comments your favourite gentle cleanser you'd recommend to everyone and let's see which products become this week’s community picks :)
The rules are simple.
You can only keep one. The other three are gone forever.
Which one are you keeping and why?
Bonus question: Which one would be the first to go and why?
For me, if my skin could talk, it would probably tell me to stop stressing hahaha
How about you guys?
At some point in our skincare journeys, we've all bought products with huge hype behind them...
But sometimes, actually most of the time they just don't live up to the expectations.
What's the most overrated skincare product you've ever tried?
Tell us what it was and why it didn't live up to the hype for you :)
The rules are simple.
You can only keep one. The other three disappear forever...

Welcome to Community Picks!
Each week, we’ll choose a skincare category and build a list of the products our community genuinely recommends.
This week we're starting with hydrating toners!
Share in the comments your favourite hydrating toner you'd recommend to everyone and let's see which product becomes this week’s community pick :)
When it comes to hydrating ingredients, glycerin and hyaluronic acid are two of the biggest names in skincare. You know they're popular when you can find them in like 99% of the skincare products on your shelf hahaha
Glycerin and hyaluronic acid are both humectants which are ingredients that draw water into the skin, giving it that plump, hydrated feel.
Both are excellent ingredients, but if you could only choose one...
Which one are you picking and why?
Mine's simple.
Oily skin needs hydration...
How about you guys?
What's something about skincare that took you way too long to realise?
We've all heard that retinoids are one of, if not the most effective skincare ingredients out there. From treating acne to improving fine lines and uneven skin tone, they're often called the gold standard of skincare.
Some people swear they're the best addition they've ever made to their routine, whilst others find them too irritating, overhyped, or simply not worth the effort.
But what's been your experience?
Let's settle this. Are retinoids actually worth the hype?
Also drop your favourite retinol / retinal / retinoid products in the comments below too :)
When we look at an INCI list, there are those ingredients that instantly make us want to try a product. At the same time there are those ingredients that make us think, this would've been perfect if that wasn't in there...
For me I love when formulas include ingredients like cica, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, squalane, ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids!
My biggest red flags would be like excessive fragrance, essential oils and any super occlusive ingredients as I have clog prone skin :c
How about you guys?

Learning to take care of your skin is full of so many ups and downs... Often times more lows than highs but that's what makes those highs feel so great hahaha
Maybe you used way too many products, chased every skincare trend, ignored sunscreen, over exfoliated, or completely neglected your barrier. We've all been there.
But if you could go back and start your skincare journey from scratch with everything you know today...
What would you do differently?

For many of us, finding a routine that actually worked wasn't about discovering one miracle product but instead it was about learning what our skin actually needed.
So today we're going to talk about just this!
What were the biggest lessons you've learned from finally building a skincare routine that works?
Share any advice you have as it might be exactly what someone else needs to hear :)
We've all heard that double cleansing is great for removing sunscreen, make up and the day's build up. I'm sure most of us have seen all those oil pulling videos on social media hahaha.
Some people swear by their double cleanse whilst others think it's unnecessary unless you're wearing heavy make up or a really stubborn sunscreen.
But what's been your experience?
Let's settle this. Is double cleansing actually worth it?
Also drop your favourite cleansing products in the comments below too :)
Whether it was changing your skincare routine, finding your holy grail product, a lifestyle change, or even simply changing your own habits for the better, what gave your skin the biggest glow up?
Hi everyone, Anders here!
Hope everyone's having a lovely day :)
We've had this suggestion come up a couple times in our modmail, so I wanted to get everyone's opinion on it before making any decisions.
The suggestion was to ask that photos of skin on the sub be marked as spoilers. Their reasoning being that some members who have struggled with skin conditions themselves find seeing these images unexpectedly can be mentally taxing or triggering.
I'd love to hear what you all think. Would this be a positive addition to the subreddit, or do you think things are better as they are?
I want this community to be shaped by the people who are part of it so I really appreciate everyone who takes the time to share their thoughts.
Thanks everyone :)
What do you guys think about Round Lab? Do you love them, hate them, or are you somewhere in between?
