Sunscreen
Gentle Cleanser
A safe pick when your skin is feeling dry or easily irritated. It’s creamy, gentle and doesn’t leave that uncomfortable stripped feeling. Simple, but honestly that’s exactly what dry skin needs sometimes.
La Roche Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Facial Cleanser
My pick for taking off makeup or skincare before cleansing. It feels much gentler than aggressively rubbing your skin, especially when your face is already dry or irritated.
Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micellar Water
I like this when I want my skin to feel properly clean without that super tight, squeaky feeling afterward. A good everyday cleanser if your dry skin is also prone to clogged pores.
Anua Heartleaf Quercetinol Deep Cleansing Foam
Hydrating Toner & Essence
This is the kind of product I’d reach for when my skin feels thirsty but I don’t want to pile on five different serums. Creamy, comforting and especially nice underneath moisturizer
My pick for dry, dehydrated skin when I want extra hydration and that plump, dewy look.
COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
My pick for that glossy, hydrated skin look, bouncy and glazed finish.
Rhode Glazing Milk
Serum for Dehydrated Skin
Great when my skin feels tight and needs some extra plumping hydration.
La Roche Posay Hyalu B5 Serum
Lightweight but super hydrating, especially when my skin feels tight or dehydrated.
Torriden Dive In Low Molecule Hyaluronic Acid Serum
An affordable hydrating serum that helps my skin feel plumper, smoother and less tight.
The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5
Simple but effective hydration with ceramides, especially nice when my dry skin needs barrier support.
Cerave Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum
Moisturizer
A good choice if rich creams usually feel too much for you. It gives dry skin some much needed moisture while keeping the finish lighter and more comfortable.
Purito Oat in Calming Gel Cream
Leaves my skin soft, hydrated and naturally glowy.
Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream
Sunscreen
My pick when I want reliable SPF without that dry, flat-looking finish.
Anessa Perfect UV Sunscreen Skincare Milk SPF 50+ PA ++++
One of my favorite everyday sunscreens. Moisturizing, glowy and comfortable on dry skin without feeling heavy.
