Tbh I have only 2 true ride or die AB products that can't be replaced... YET.
- Kiss Me Heroine Super Waterproof Long & Curl Mascara - the fact that I've been using this for ten years and still can't find a true replacement for it... says a lot, really. It lengthens, adds volume, and holds my curl to a greater degree than any other mascars that I've tried. I've tried Rom&nd All Han, Etude Curl Fix (2nd fav), the viral Judydoll Iron, DHC Double Protection, dejavu Keep Style, Kiss Me Advanced Film, YSL Volume Effet Faux Cils, countless Maybelline mascaras, CEZANNE Curl Keep Base, lilybyred Survival Colorcara... All of them were inferior on my lashes than the Kiss Me...
- CosRX Blackhead Power Liquid - My skin doesn't respond well to salicylic acid at all, but absolutely thrives with betaine salicylate. This chemical exfoliant has served me incredibly well for the last three years and I use it two to three times a week to reduce closed comedones. Although it doesn't get rid of all of them completely, it softens the keratin/sebum to where I can use a comedone extractor to extract the remaining cc's much more easily than if I didn't use this product.
And one AB product that I am sure will be reformulated to the detriment of my skin, so I will not say it is a forever HG, unfortunately: the Abib Heartleaf sun essence Calming drops SPF 50 sunscreen... The only sunscreen that doesn't clog my pores even if I wear it everyday... (I have tried at least 200 different sunscreens in my lifetime, so this is very rare indeed for my high maintenance skin...)
+1 to CosRx Blackhead Power Liquid. So much cheaper than Paula’s Choice, too.
I've tried Paula's Choice BHA 2% and that made me flakey like I was using .1 tret or something hardcore lol. Every time I read about someone complaining about the CosRX not doing anything for their skin it's the first thing I recommend tho 😂
