Reddit mentions of Nature Republic Super Aqua Max Combination Watery Cream

Ah I made a post but perhaps it is better to just comment here instead

I'm a guy in his mid 20s and my current routine is REALLY simple but has some problems and I would also like to expand it a bit...

Current routine:

AM - Wash face, Apply lotion, Put on tinted sunblock (need it cus of darker skin)

PM - Same as AM sans the sunblock and using St Ives exfloiating pad (AHA) before applying lotion.

So off the bat there are two problems with my routine. First is that there are days when I go to the gym mid-day which requires a shower. Problem with this is that I must wash my face 3 times on certain days (how else would I remove the sunblock?). Second is that I shave using a double-edge razor which actually serves to exfoliate the parts of my face that I shave so what ends up happening is that my entire face is not being exfoliated equally (my cheek look so much better than my forehead), I have no idea how I would go about solving this... It should be noted that I do not use the St Ives pads on night when I shave (I shave every other day).

I want to change my routine to account for these two issues while also expanding it a bit to lessen stuff like wrinkles and dark spots (my complexion sucks, esp my forehead).

I was looking at some products and found some that looks promising? interesting? but honestly, I'm not too experienced in this area...

For the eyes

For the wrinkles

Possible regular moisturizers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

You can see that I prefer gel moisturizers because I don't like that feeling of putting on lotion and my face being sticky even after like an hour (Aveeno does this).

Face wash - my current face wash isn't sustainable (kinda niche) and it doesn't wash away my sunblock all that well either... I had the same problem with SCA's favorite Cerave hydrating cleanser.

I can't say I've noticed real improvement from using St Ives's pads? Not sure if I want to try anything stronger though because I am bad with sunblock reapplication.

Even the sunblock is not the best because it has such a strong flowery smell. But I need a lightly tinted one to not look like a ghost... Hmm maybe this one?

Okay so it's actually like $11.50 apparently my memory isn't perfect! Here is the link to the cheapest one I can find (with free shipping) but it doesn't have the description:

This is just a sample page for the description of the product, it is a couple dollars more expensive from this seller:

Hope this helps!

The Nature Republic Aqua Watery Creams are a good example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008191D30/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_1avGzbJ0SSZMQ

In western skincare, Lancome makes this one:

And of course Biore Watery Essence sunscreen: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MTDFFQ5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_VgvGzbYYJJ0FY

All of them seem to be some variant on water + cream/moisturizer/essence to describe the texture, I was just wondering whether there was a term I could punch into Google/Amazon to look for this specific texture, because it seems to be the best way to deliver hydration to my skin.

Ohhh yes! Thank you for posting this thread bc I just found my love for gel creams as well. I have combination oily skin so it works so much better for me, especially if it is oil free. Sadly, I have not tried that many yet but I just ordered the Mizon Snail Recovery Gel :)

I talked about this quite a lot already, but I had a sample of the Amore Pacific Hydra-gel and liked it a lot. It was a tad bit too fragrant, but fragrances don't really bother me that much. I loved the way that it was so easy to spread and that it sunk into my skin pretty quickly! Not sticky at all and it goes under suncreen and foundation really well for me. But sigh it is in the three digit price tag so I will just be living vicariously off it in samples..

I'm super interested in trying the Nature Republic Super Aqua Max Combination Watery Cream. I don't see it mentioned at all on this sub but I see a lot of instagrammers raving about this line of products! They apparently have a version for oily, combination, and dry skins so I think that is pretty awesome. If anyone has tried it, please let me know how you liked it! The price is definitely really attractive so even if there are a few negative reviews, I think I would want to try it out anyway :p

For the cream, I recommend the Nature Republic Super Aqua Combination watery cream. It's specifically intended for combination skin :)

It is literally AMAZING.

For sleeping mask, I recommende the Laneige water bank mask :D It's my HG.

I'm in the same boat, oily T-zone and dry cheeks. I put the moisturizer all over everywhere because it seems to not cause my skin to get even more oily, plus my face is super soft.

No, I already ordered Nature Republic Super Aqua Max Combination Watery Cream since they had Amazon Prime shipping, and besies their good reviews, I was just wondering if anyone on AB had a good experiences with them.

I have normal skin and I don't like super heavy moisturizers, so I use more hydrating ones that are between a gel and a cream. I like etude house, nature republic, and belif
