Gentle Cleanser
The most basic and crucial step. Choosing the wrong facial cleanser can further damage the skin barrier. Here, I choose one that's pH-balanced and SLS-free.
The definition of a calming face wash. The formula focuses on restoring the balance of the skin's microbiome. I love using this, especially as a morning cleanser, because it's so light and doesn't leave any residue.
Labore GentleBiome Skin Nutrition Gel Cleanser
Classic yet effective. I only dare to use this if my skin is severely irritated. It can also be used without water when traveling.
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser
Great for sensitive but oily skin. It has a natural tea tree scent and helps dry out small pimples.
COSRX Low pH Cleanser Gel
The most economical option at the convenience store. It has no strange scents and the foam is incredibly soft.
Hadalabo Glowing Facial Moisturizing Facial Wash Soap.
hydrating toner & serum
Additional nutrients to soothe irritated skin. The product's focus here is hydration (water-based) to reduce redness.
It contains probiotics, which are great for balancing the good bacteria in your skin. Spray this on when your face gets red and it instantly cools you down.
Npure Toner + Serum
It has only one focus: hydration. The texture is thick but absorbs quickly. It's a must-have if your skin is dehydrated.
Skintific 4D Hyaluronic Acid Serum
A local serum with a really nice texture. Helps gradually fade red acne scars (PIE).
Avoskin Your Skin Bae Serum Toner
For those with super dry skin, mix one drop of this into your nighttime moisturizer. The next morning, your skin will be plump.
Luxurious Facial Oil Serum
MOISTURIZER
Must be used morning and night. Moisturizer acts as a 'blanket' that locks in hydration and protects the skin from friction and external pollution.
The texture is really rich. I use this when my face is really red. Tip: Apply a thick layer at night as a sleeping mask.
Labore Barrier Revive Cream
It went viral because it's truly great. It's as light as water on contact with the skin, perfect for use in the morning before makeup.
COD 5X Ceramide Barrier Moisturizer Gel
The jumbo size lasts for months. It contains tiny ceramide granules that break apart when applied. It provides long-lasting moisture.
ILLIYOON Ceramide Ato Soothing Gel
The most affordable option for students. A cool, clear gel that's great for locking in previous skincare.
The Originote Hyalucera Moisturizer Gel
sunscreen
It's pointless to use expensive skincare if you skip sunscreen. This is the primary protection against further damage to sensitive skin from UV rays.
It doesn't leave a white cast at all. The texture is runny and doesn't sting the eyes.
SKIN AQUA UV Moisture Milk SPF50+PA+++
A favorite among millions because it's so light. It doesn't leave you feeling oily all day. It's safe for those prone to acne.
Twin-Pack Gel Azarine Hydrasoothe Sunscreen Gel SPF45 PA++
The finish is really beautiful, like using a hybrid filter. It makes your face look bright but still natural.
Sunscreen Skin Aqua SPF 40 PA Tone Up Glowing
True to its name, it's truly a "best friend" for sensitive and acne-prone skin. Its texture is as light as liquid lotion and absorbs quickly. It doesn't leave a white cast or feel stuffy.
True to Skin Sun Friends Soothing Sunscreen Gel SPF 50
