Oil-Based Cleansers
I apply it only at night to remove makeup, dirt, and SPF. Also, don’t forget that every oil cleanser should be applied to dry skin, massaged well, and then emulsified by adding lukewarm water.
This is my top 1 oil cleanser! I’m already repurchasing it for the second time, and I have no regrets. It doesn’t clog pores, has that refreshing finish, and is absolutely amazing!
Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil for SENSITIVE SKIN! - Anua
As someone obsessed with oil cleansers because they have so many benefits, after a long search, it turned out that this is in my top 2. It melts on the skin, reduces acne over time, and gives you that Korean glass skin.
Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil - ALL SKIN TYPES | Cleanser - SKIN1004
Also one of the best! It doesn’t leave that oily feeling after rinsing but a light, hydrating sensation. Removes makeup nicely.
HARUHARU Wonder Black Rice Cleansing Oil - ALL SKIN TYPES
Yes,yes and yes!This formula deeply purifies pores, removes makeup effortlessly, and helps vanish blackheads and dead skin cells. It’s also great for sensitive skin, making it a fantastic choice
Mixsoon Bean Cleansing Oil | SENSITIVE SKIN
I tried this oil, and it’s really great! It removes makeup and impurities, leaving my skin clean and hydrated. It’s lightweight, so it’s good for sensitive skin, and it even removes waterproof makeup without irritation. If you’re looking for somethin...
Pure Cleansing Oil - MA:NYO
Water-Based Cleansers
I use them at night as the second step because they completely cleanse the skin of any leftover oil cleanser and anything else remaining after the first cleanse.
Korean routines are my favorite because they primarily hydrate and soothe the skin, just like this cleanser, which is great for sensitive, acne-prone skin.
1025 Dokdo Cleanser - GOOD FOR DRY SKIN | Round Lab
A brand that I think is underrated, but social media somehow made it go viral, which I’m happy about because Manyo has an excellent oil cleanser + water-based cleanser line. Highly recommended.
Pure & Deep Cleansing Foam - MA:NYO | NORMAL-DRY SKIN
I’ve been using the cleanser along with their oil cleanser, and it’s been amazing! It removes everything without drying out my skin, plus it’s gentle enough for sensitive skin. Definitely a great combo!
Mixsoon Centella Cleansing Foam | SENSITIVE SKIN
This cleanser is really gentle and creamy. It cleanses the skin well and helps unclog pores. You can use it every day, and it’s best to leave it on for 2-5 minutes before rinsing. I recommend it for combination and acne-prone skin!
Pore-Purifying Salicylic Acid Foaming Cleanser | Jumiso - Acne and Combination Skin
This product is really great for daily use. It removes all impurities. It’s easy to use, and your skin feels truly clean and refreshed. If you’re looking for something gentle yet effective, this cleanser is a great choice.
Torriden DIVE IN Cleansing Foam
Toners
As the third step of my routine at the night, I use toner, which I didn’t prefer much before. However, when I found the best one, I realized it really helps in balancing my skin.
This product is the reason why I started using toner regularly in my routine. It really helped with my skin texture; my skin became smooth after just a few days of use. It hydrates the skin and reduces redness. It's also really really good for acne!
EQQUALBERRY Swimming Pool Toner | ACNE and SENSITIVE SKIN
This toner is great, but make sure you pay attention to the packaging because they have a similar toner for oily skin, while this one is for dry skin. It’s really good for calming irritation, doesn’t dry out the skin, and helps reduce redness.
Mixsoon Centella Toner | DRY SKIN
This toner has been amazing, and everyone close to me loves it too. Niacinamide sometimes works for my skin and sometimes doesn’t, but the version with 2% works great for me. If it suits you, you can also go for the light version with 4%.
TIRTIR Milk Skin Rice Toner - Moisturizing
Serums / Ampoules
Fourth step! Serum – Great for daily skincare, provides hydration and helps with various skin concerns.
Ampoule – Even more concentrated, like an intensive treatment when your skin needs an extra boost in a short time.
A great serum that deeply hydrates the skin. In my opinion, it’s really better than hyaluronic acid. Strengthens the skin barrier, and soothes irritations. A warm recommendation for anyone whose skin requires 24/7 hydration.
iUNIK Beta-Glucan, Power Moisture SERUM | Dry Skin
I’ve always loved aesthetic bottles of any cosmetic product because it eases the thought that it must be good, but sometimes it turns out it’s not really the case. However, this serum is top-notch for me; I always use it and plan to continue until my...
Torriden Balanceful Cica Serum | DRY SKIN
This serum works better for me than their most viral glow serum, as I didn’t like the niacinamide in their formula, which may suit some skin types. In my opinion, this one is an excellent alternative—it strengthens the barrier, hydrates incredibly we...
Beauty of Joseon Calming Serum, Green Tea + Panthenol
Why not? This is great for calming and hydrating the skin. It helps restore the skin barrier, reduces inflammation, and gives the skin a healthier look. It’s light, absorbs quickly, and is ideal for sensitive skin.
Skin1004 Madagascar Centella AMPOULE
Yessss!!! It's great for hydration and reducing redness. It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, and gives a natural glow. Maybe this one is my favorite after all, or it could share the spot with Torriden serum
COSRX Full Fit Propolis Light Ampoule
Eye Creams
This isn’t a must-have step in the routine, but since I have pronounced dark circles, I love using eye creams at night. All the recommendations I’ve tried have really helped, making my dark circles lighter and less visible.
Honestly, I didn’t believe it would help, but after just a few weeks, I noticed a difference. It doesn’t dry out the under-eye area, reduces the dark tone, and is perfect!
1Pack Beauty of Joseon Retinol Eye Cream
Abib eye cream is great for dark circles and puffiness, absorbs quickly, and gives a natural glow. If you want something more intense, the patches are perfect for a quick refresh. They’ve really helped me!
Abib Collagen Eye Crème Jerichoo
This product reduces puffiness and dark circles, making the skin brighter and firmer. It absorbs quickly and leaves the skin soft without a sticky feeling. In TIRTIR we TRUST!
TIRTIR Collagen Lifting Eye Cream- Eye Roller
If you love caffeine in skincare, this one’s for you! Definitely the best product for dark circles with coffee.
BLITHE Caffeine Eye Serum
Moisturisers
The last step, if we exclude masks and similar treatments, is the MOISTURISER. In my opinion, it’s the most important. No matter how picky someone is with their skin, cream is always a must. As a pro when it comes to Korean creams, here are my top re...
Excellent dermatological cream that doesn’t get much attention but does its job really well. Great for dry skin and everything that such skin requires. I’ve been using it for months and always come back to it, just like the Goodal cream.
Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Concentrate Cream | Face Moisturizer
Can we talk for a moment about this cream? It’s a very light and milky cream, strengthens the skin barrier, and softens it. It absorbs quickly and hydrates. Highly recommend!
goodal Vegan Rice Milk Moisturizing Cream
I would always recommend this cream. Calms irritated skin, reduces redness and acne. It absorbs quickly, hydrates, and restores the skin barrier. Perfect for sensitive skin.
[ Dr.G ] Red Blemish Clear Soothing Cream
If you’re looking for a good moisturizer, Mixsoon is really great. Your skin feels super hydrated, soft, and fresh afterward. It absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave a greasy feeling. I definitely recommend it!
MIXSOON Bean cream
This cream is one of those products you might either love or not, just like many others, because we all have different skin types. From my recommendations, you can see that large amounts of niacinamide don’t work well for me, and my skin requires a l...
Dr.althea 345 relief cream -face moisturizer, acne-prone
If you need something to calm your skin, Anua Heartleaf is a really good option. It helps strengthen the barrier, and the skin feels soft and hydrated afterward. The texture absorbs quickly. Perfect for daily use, especially if your skin is more sens...
ANUA Heartleaf 70 Intense Calming Cream
Masks
I like to use masks once or twice a week, usually before toner and serum, but always after cleansing my face. Masks help me relax, and I love trying different ones, so here are a few recommendations.
Really good, hydrating masks that absorb beautifully into the skin and make it feel soft. Almost always when I don’t want to take any risks, I go for this one.
Beauty of Joseon Centella Asiatica Calming Facial Mask Sheet
In love with this mask!!! Highly hydrating, absorbs quickly, and leaves the skin feeling soft and refreshed. Perfect for a quick moisture boost!
Torriden - DIVE-IN Low Molecule Hyaluronic Acid Mask Set
These are deep nourishing sheet masks. Nice size, not too big and lines up with the face well. No scent, non irritating. I use on dry skin to regain hydration after actives or damaged skin barrier.
Customer reviews for Pyunkang Yul Highly Moisturizing
Super hydrating mask. If you have dry skin, I highly recommend using it. It absorbs quickly into the skin and softens it.
