This is what l've used on my very sensitive, dry combo, acne and PIE prone skin. Finding products that actually work has always been a STRUGGLE.

Cleansers

Hands down BEST cleanser for extremely sensitive skin. Has never caused me any issues and I still feel like it cleanses well enough for twice a day use!
La Roche Posay Toleriane Dermo Cleanser for Sensitive Skin 400ml
Â
This is a little harsher than LRP cleanser but it purifies the skin better. Still suitable for combination skin and gives a very clean feel.
Avène Cleanance Cleansing Gel for Oily, Blemish-Prone Skin 200ml
Â
Good dermatologically tested cleanser. Especially good after makeup, but for sensitive skin I recommend alternating this daily with something gentler. A couple of times a week is still good!
Cerave Foaming Cleanser
Sunscreen
Â
This is the only sunscreen that hasnât broken me out. It feels absolutely weightless, and Iâve always struggled either way sunscreens feeling oily. Koreans definitely run the sunscreen game because this is amazing!
Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics SPF50+ 50ml
Â
Very lightweight sunscreen, feels like nothing.
COSRX - Aloe Soothing Sun Cream
Makeup remover
Â
Really strong makeup remover that does not irritate my sensitive and dry skin (only aggressive rubbing does).
Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water 700ml
Moisturizers
Â
Solid moisturizer! Feels very light
Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer
Â
This is not a traditional âmoisturizerâ, it is so much more. My holy grail that I use every night. This cream moisturises and repairs the skin barrier after irritation or breakouts. Helped a lot with fading my PIE and preventing frequent breakouts. R...

Moisturizer with a gel-like texture. Satisfying to apply on the skin and feels very hydrating and cooling.

Excellent for fading acne scars/PIE!
Paula's Choice 10% Azelaic Acid Booster
Â
This is the best option for PIE scars!! Pie scars are different from acne scars, it is under the surface inflammation. This is the best product Iâve used to lighten the sark spots and calm down my skin. Make sure to start slow and always use sunscree...
Metroruboril A.Z Anti-redness Cream
Â
Very gentle barrier repair cream for irritated skin.
PURITO Panthenol Cream, Glow Skin, 100ml

This is a great serum for hyperpigmentation. Be aware if you have sensitive skin tho, use it with a very simple and gentle routine.
Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA Hyperpigmentation Serum
Skincare masks
Â
Love this mask it calmed down my skin really well and temporarily brightened my dark spots
Beauty of Joseon Centella Asiatica Calming Mask
Â
Very satisfying to use mask. Visibly reduces dark spots after use and is the gentlest mask I used on my skin. Absolutely zero stinging or pain :)
Garnier SkinActive Moisturising Cloth Mask

I used this mask yesterday and when I tell you this is the best one Ive usedâŚ. Helped SO much, immediately after use and the next morning my PIE scars and cheek redness went down so much youâd think I was wearing concealer. Love it!
