Tried It
Products I gave a fair shot to that didn't "wow" me or became redundant/obsolete.
Moisturizing Cream CeraVe

This just does not perform like I want it to. Despite the more nourishing ingredients, my skin still feels tight and flaky. Vanicream outperforms this on every metric, for me.
Ultra-Light Invisible Sunscreen SPF 50 PA++++ COSRX
Broke me out like craaaaazy. I think I need to officially give up on chemical sunscreens.
Snail Mucin 95 + Peptide Essence JUMISO
An early casualty of when I started stripping my routine to just the basics. It's difficult to say whether this contributed to my skin troubles, however, I don't miss using this.
Time Revolution Artemisia Treatment Essence Missha

I've always had mixed feelings about this. This was the final product purge of my simplified routine and I realized how this just sat on top of my skin and made flakes more noticeable. This also contributed to my itchy eyes.
Atlantic Kelp And Magnesium Anti-Fatigue Body Wash REN Clean Skincare
I used this for years and convinced others to try it. I finally tried another body wash with actives and it blows this out of the water. I now prefer EOS body wash for my basic body wash.
Grape Water Moisturizing Face Mist Caudalie
I'll forever be unsure how this contributed to acne and oily, enlarged pores since it's just "fancy water". Not even my sink water causes this. I'm officially giving up on facial mists.
Moisturizing Cream Vanicream

Never thought I'd be adding this here. I've confirmed this makes my face darker and oilier. It's too heavy for my face, even in dry winters. It also isn't very moisturizing on its own. This will forever be a HG in my body routine though.
