Over the years, my skin has gone from combination to dry skin and gosh do i blame the actives. They did everything wrong but after taking a few steps back, and focusing on more gentle products to care for skin which is highly sensitive by the way, sa...

Toners
Absolute best for evening out skin tone and maintaining skin's natural pH
I'm from - Rice Toner
This essence is the definition of lightweight, that it even makes you question if it works but it does. It's hydrating and it's just the perfect base for everything especially your makeup.
Haruharu wonder - Black Rice Probiotics Barrier Essence
I was a bit unsure of this one but the glow it comes with might actually be unmatched. If you want that glass skin feel and look, this is definitely the girl for the job.
numbuzin - No.9 NAD+ PDRN Glow Boosting Toner
Toner pads are going to be your friend in dealing with textured skin, although optional, and this one from medicube is a great option.
Medicube - Zero Pore Pad 2.0
Serums
It's very important to include pigment stoppers in your routine, otherwise the hyperpigmentation will just keep coming back. This is hands down one of the best and perfect for sensitive skin.
Madagascar Centella Tone Brightening Capsule Ampoule ...
This helps to fade stubborn dark spots and hyperpigmentation whilst improving smooth skin texture! If you have very sensitive skin, 10% might be too much for you.
Anua - Niacinamide 10 TXA 4 Serum
This Vitamin C serum made me so happy, you notice a difference quickly, it brightens up the skin and makes it look refreshed. Please pair with lots of sunscreen!
numbuzin - No.5 Vitamin Concentrated Serum
This doubles as a hydrating serum and exfoliant, perfect for textured skin!
mixsoon - Bean Essence
Truth is a good amount of your skin barrier issues can be solved once you get it right with hydration and this one from the ordinary gets the job done to the tea.
Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Hydrating Serum - The Ordinary
This is just a bonus nice to have in your routine
Numbuzin - No. 3 Skin Softening Serum
Moisturisers
I reach for this moisturiser every single time, hands down one of the best. It does not feel heavy at all on the skin and it's very very hydrating.
COSRX - Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream
This cream lasts for monthssss and just like it's name, it helps to smooth the skin and keeps it hydrated for long periods.
CeraVe - SA Smoothing Cream
Sunscreen
In everything you do, without sunscreen it's useless especially if you'd be using vitamin c or any actives at night. This one is great and leaves no white cast.
Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum ...
My skin thrived a lot while using this sunscreen, it's lightweight and leaves no white cast!
Mixsoon - Centella Sun Cream
This was my summer sunscreen, does such an amazing job.
Haruharu wonder - Black Rice Moisture Airyfit Sunscreen
If I had to speak about love, it'd probably be this sunstick, lasts long and gives your skin a glowy and smooth finish and it's perfect for reapplication
Abib - Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar
If you want an even glowier finish, then you should go for this one, you can apply it over makeup too.
Abib - Quick Sunstick Protection Bar
Cleansers
Any product that has gentle exfoliating in it is great for textured skin and this cleanser is an absolute favourite.
SKIN 1004 - Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam
I know you've heard you should double cleanse but if you have oily skin, using a cleansing oil would not be ideal, this is a way better alternative.
Micellar Cleansing Water with Vitamin C - Garnier
You absolutely have to start double cleansing if you want good results, you need to get rid of all sebum and impurities on your skin surface
I was incredibly wowed by the power of this mask. For maximum benefits, i recommend keeping it on overnight, you would wake up with glass skin and it helps your skin absorb moisture better which is at the heart of dealing with textured skin.
