Cleanser
Absolutely amazing for removing makeup or just daily grime. I use it as a part of my daily double cleanse and it has really helped clear up all my blackheads, especially on my nose and chin!
Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil for Sensitive Skin
I know exfoliants don’t seem like they’re good for dry skin, but this one is very gentle! This is the other half of my daily double cleanse. It’s great for smoothing and I’m never dry afterwards.
ANUA Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Cleansing Foam
Very gentle on the skin. I love this one because it feels like the beginning of a facial! Very cooling and calming, no dryness effect after it’s washed off!
I love this brand! Korean skincare and dry skin go very well together! A lot of the options are not very harsh and leave your skin feeling refreshed not dry! I recommend this one HIGHLY
COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser
Toners
A staple in my collection. Perfect for hydration. Leaves a nice healthy glow on the skin!
I'm from Rice Toner, Milky Toner for Skin
Another holy grail. Instant hydration and a bit cooling in my opinion. Comes in a refillable package. There’s also a most that I sometimes use for a nice midday refresh!
Cream Skin Toner & Moisturizer
A hidden gem! Instant results. Very soothing for any kind of irritation. Hydrating and softening for those EXTRA dry days
numbuzin No.3 Skin Softening Serum
A great brand in general. There’s no scent and has a thicker formula than most of the other toners on this list. This absorbs quickly and easily, leaving your skin feeling refreshed
[KLAIRS] Unscented Toner 6.08 fl oz
Very hydrating! Rihanna really got it right with this formula. One con is this is a scented product. It’s a very light scent so it doesn’t bother me but it’s definitely there!
Fat Water Hydrating Milky Toner Essence with Hyaluronic Acid + ...
Serums
We love her. She’s expensive and worth every penny! Literally revitalizes your skin as you apply it. Amazing. 10/10 recommend to anyone
The Dewy Serum - Plumping & Smoothing Treatment
For dewy fresh skin. Brings out your glow even under matte makeup and very affordable!
ANUA Niacinamide 10 + TXA 4 Serum
Everything from this brand is truly worthwhile. I was very happy with this serum and the nice dew like finish it added to my skin. Over time, my skin seemed to have a radiant finish all on its own, even without products!
Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (with Ceramides)
Moisturizers
I use this everyday. This is MY moisturizer. Truly amazing. Hydration lasts ALL day and after ongoing use, I definitely see an improvement in my texture. On the pricey side, but it lasts a very long time
Signature Moisturizer
Now this is all about moisture. Full disclosure, my skin felt almost TOO moist with this, which is why I only use it at night because it’s a bit too much for the day time. Depending on the dryness of your skin, I’m sure it could be adapted for day ti...
Advanced Snail 92 All in one Cream
A CLASSIC! If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. This brand is a tried and true for a lot of people for a reason. Definitely on the affordable side of this list and it gets the job done properly. Added bonus, it can be used on other parts of your body!
Deep Hydration Moisturizing Cream - Skincare
Another of my favorites. You can literally feel your skin healing itself as you apply. Definitely pricy, and honestly not too much is in the container. But the formula is truly fantastic. I was able to stretch a container of this for a little over a ...
Face Moisturizers and Creams for All Skin Types
Another affordable option! This is a great skin care brand overall. I thought the formula for this moisturizer was thick and creamy without being greasy. This is another one where you can just feel the dryness leaving your skin as you apply it!
